1.9.1

You prepare news, announcements and events on the Institutional content → News & events screen. An item shows on the site when you publish it, not when you save it.

Preparing an item

  1. On the News & events screen, go to the News, Announcements or Events tab.
  2. Press the button at the top of the screen, for example New news item.
  3. On the Türkçe (Turkish) tab, fill in Title, Short summary and Text. The Turkish title is required.
  4. On the Details card, optionally enter a Category and upload a Cover image.
  5. To show the item on the home page and at the top of lists, switch on Feature.
  6. Press Save.

Write the English text on the English tab. The cover image is resized and its EXIF data is removed.

Event details

An event shows the Event details card. Starts is required, and Ends and Location are optional. You enter times in Istanbul time, and the end cannot be before the start.

An announcement's audience

An announcement shows the Audience card.

  • If you select no role, the announcement is published for everyone on the public site.
  • If you select roles, the announcement does not show on the public site. It shows only in the panel of users with those roles, in the Announcements section of the Overview screen and in the announcement strip at the top of the page.

Calls

The Calls tab lists calls for papers and chapters. You start a new call with the New call button on this tab. A call's Call details card has the Deadline field. The public site's /cagrilar page (/en/calls in English) sorts open calls by deadline. A call whose deadline has passed moves under the Closed calls heading. A journal's editors open the journal's calls from the journal page, and Posting Journal Announcements and Calls describes those steps.

Publishing

The Publication card appears after the item is saved for the first time.

  • Publish publishes the item at once.
  • Publish later makes the time you choose the publication date. The item shows from that moment on. If you choose a past date, the item goes live at once and is sorted by that date in lists.
  • On a published item, Change publication date changes the publication date.

An event cannot be published without a start time. An edit to a published item shows on the site as soon as you save it. If review approval is on in your installation, the steps in Publishing with Review Approval apply. To remove an item from the site, see Unpublishing and Deleting.
