About this content type

The PSS-Core-Panel-NewsFeeder content type is a dynamic content type which connects to a back-end NewsFeeder instance. For this reason, it is generally disabled on most sites and has to be requested to be enabled.

NewsFeeder provides a fast and simplistic way to add an announcements news feed onto your site. The news posts themselves are deliberately small and simple, and consist of a title, description and optional link to find out more information. This is used to construct a dated feed which is displayed directly in the panel. When a user clicks on one of the posts, it redirects to a dynamic post viewing page where they can read the full content and see the link if present. This viewing page can be decorated with other superstyle content, but needs a very specific format and setup, so is generally done by the PSS web team.
