Getting along with the Article Manager
updated by rck, 2004-12-13

If you think about a content management system, you usually want to have a collection of text documents within it. A collection of your content. That's what I use Article Manager for in phpWebSite.

What it does

Article Manager does, what Announcements and Page Master do as well. It gives you a place where you can put text. This text can then be viewed and commented by your sites visitors.

Announcements are limited to a summary and a more descriptive text. Throw in a single picture and you have what some people love to use for blogging. Page Master does all that Announcements does. But it supports more paragraphs, still it's limited to a single page.

That's where Article Manager comes in. It supports multiple paged articles, like some well known online-zines do. It also has support for blogging and can show a picture together with a caption for every paragraph. Throw in a lot of other features and you have what I think is the most useful module for phpWebSite.

Feature summary

Frontpage Articles
You can define one article that is shown right on the front page. Below it you can see the newest articles on your site ready to be clicked on
Archive URLs
Interesting for all the bloggers out there. Article Manager supports so called archive urls. They are URLs that point to all articles of a certain day, certain month or certain year.
Printing and Emailing articles
Article Manager ships with Icons that allow you to print or mail the current article right away.
Popular Articles
If you want to, you can show the most popular articles in a box of your startpage.

Installation

After you have downloaded the most current Article Manager from Elois Homepage, you can install it the way you are used to. Put it in the mod-directory of your phpWebSite installation, Fire up Boost and that's it. Boost will inform you, wether you were successful or not. You should be able to see the Article Manager icon in Control Panel - Site Content.
