Hi, Scott! We use NewsArticles for our weekly newspaper website, and it works like a charm. There's one thing I've always wondered about... what would it take to add custom fields — or even just one or two *more* fields — with corresponding tokens? I ask because we style our photo credits and photo captions the same for each article, and our text editor doesn't do great with styling spans consistently, so it would be such a huge help to us if we could get one or two more content fields on the editor. Is there any chance that might be possible one day?

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

I'm trying to figure out the photo credit/caption's as well...what I was thinking is if you had the extra fields you're talking about, and could template a "token" for inserting everything.

For example (I left out some <>'s so it would display!)
Template:
table
tr
td [PHOTODISPLAY] /td
/tr
tr
td [CAPTION] /td
/tr
tr
td [CREDIT] /td
/tr
/table

And then some sort of [PHOTOINSERT] tag that could be placed in the article where you wanted it...

If you don't mind, how are you handing it now?

Thanks,
Steve
Edited - the first try didn't work...

I have styles, one for captions and one for credits, both of which have a left float and a fixed width the same size as I've set the photo to display. The template displays [IMAGE][BODY], and since the photo also floats left, the first thing I put in the body of the article itself is the caption and the credit, which I then style with a span to call their classes (which requires source-editing on each article, something I'd very much like to do away with so that non-designers can update the site). Unfortunately, the FCKeditor adds paragraph tags to everything, which have to be removed in order for the pages to display correctly — and it adds them in EVERY TIME the article is edited, which has proven itself a huge problem, since non-designers often have to edit each article for editorial purposes, and don't know to take the P tags out.

It  mostly gets the job done, but because of that problem, it isn't a permanent solution.

Okay, thanks!
Steve

Thanks, Jon! It was worth a try, although I didn't see a change — but knowing now that it might be possible, I'm going to look into what exactly I'll have to do. If I figure it out, I'll come back to report.

BUMP, this functionality would be greatly appreciated. Just looking at a site where we need captions and credits for all pictures. Not easy to get that in without a special field for captions... Or, make that impossible if you don't want to insert the pictures into the article detailfield itself along with the text. But then you can't use the pic in Latest Articles-listings...
