About the Articles Module

This Module is an advanced version of DNN's Annoucements module.

Features:

  • Images: An image can be displayed for each article. Thumbnails are automatically generated based on a configrable MaxWidth parameter. Images can be aligned either Left, Right, Top, or Alternating.
  • Multisourcing- An Article can appear in multiple places within your site. You can choose whether to display only the articles created within the current module or display articles from any module and use a variety of criteria (Featured, Categories, Creation Date, ...) to determine which Articles are displayed.
  • Templates/Skinning- 5 standard templates are provided with the install and an unlimited number of additional templates can be added to allow you to display the Article List exactly how you want it.
  • Paging: Admins can set the number of articles to display per page and a paging control will automatically display.
  • Search: Users can search all articles in the portal
  • Archive: Users can view all articles by clicking on the More Articles... link. Alternatively a custom link can be input to display a particular page or subset of articles.
  • Syndication-RSS Feeds- Fully implements DNN's ISearchable interface enabling searching and rss feeds.
  • Categories: Integrates with Efficion's Categories Module to allow for filtering by category
  • Comments: You may specify whether registered and/or anonymous users may leave comments for an article.
  • Multiple Sort options- Will be able to specify sort by created date, modified date, or title.
  • Keywords- the keyword meta-tag can now be set on the details page for improved search engine optimization

Thanks to Mark Schouten (www.schoutendevelopers.nl), there's now a dutch translation available of the Articles module... I also know others have translated it into German and Spanish... please send me your translations if you want to share... Please note that there are still a few things that need to be localized.
