http://www.layingback.net/ Pro_News fully templated article based news module for Dragonfly en-us Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:09:11 GMT 1440 CPG-Nuke Dragonfly layingback News http://backend.userland.com/rss http://www.layingback.net/images/logo.gif http://www.layingback.net/ http://www.layingback.net/Pro_News/aid=73.html A new website for a brand new company Accadrà. A Project Management company offering specialist expertise in PRINCE2 in Healthcare as well as many other fields of project management. The task was to design to a specific design brief, which was achieved using Dragonfly 9.2.1, Pro_News 3.2 and Eestlane's soon-to-be-released reDesign3. Only modifications to an otherwise standard Dragonfly were limited to just customising the template html and CSS - as it should be. But I think this is a testament to the current level of flexibility of the above products. No one could say that this site looks like a "nuke-style" site! Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:09:11 GMT http://www.layingback.net/Pro_News/aid=72.html Announcing Swedish language files for Pro_News 3.2. In the Downloads section. Thanks to radoka over at DragonflyCMS for putting the work in to creating this. As always I am more than happy to host any translation files for Pro_News. (And submission of same will earn you membership to the Sponsors group.) So if you already have one, are are thinking of building one, please let me know. TIA! Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:48:56 GMT http://www.layingback.net/Pro_News/aid=71.html Pro_News 3.2.1 is available. Included are the Featured Content Slider which can be used to display a large number of pictures in a small space, as a slideshow alternative or both, and a Coppermine hack to allow Batch Upload without resorting to ftp. Plus a few small improvements, details on download page.

(Click read more to view.) This Slider was created by simply selecting a Photo Album, as previously, and using a brand new template. No changes to the Submit Article user interface at all. Now, instead of the Photo Album images appearing as separate images on the page as before, they appear in a single Slider. No formating or anything else special for the submitter to do! Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:58:20 GMT http://www.layingback.net/Pro_News/aid=69.html As any of you who've been following will know, I wanted to add a "Featured Content" like display into Pro_News. (If you don't know what I mean by Featured Content, then do a search on DragonflyCMS for the post by greenday2k, or take a look at the original developers Dynamic Drive.) Anyway, I've got it working, see screen capture alongside. Note this is ENTIRELY done in Pro_News template, no change to Pro_News code at all. A strong vindication as to the power of Pro_News templates! Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:16:29 GMT http://www.layingback.net/Pro_News/aid=68.html My newest website built for Somerford Cars in Little Somerford, UK. Somerford Cars is a small auto business which was in need of a little more advertising for its frequently changing sales vehicles. A basic site, but exploiting the usual benefits of Pro_News: easy administration, update and maintenance because every content page is built using a single module - Pro_News. Of course it uses Eestlane's incredible reDesign2 theme. Fri, 16 Oct 2009 08:23:19 GMT http://www.layingback.net/Pro_News/aid=67.html Just to let everyone know that the latest and best Pro_News available is now ready, initially just for Sponsors, but it will be released to Registered Members shortly, and then everyone. Lots and lots of small but useful enhancements, continuing the push to make Pro_News easier to deploy and manage. Update: Now available to all. Enjoy! And please think about the Donation ... Update: If you downloaded as a Sponsor before 17 Oct 09, please read this. 1 file needs to be updated. Sorry! Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:12:10 GMT http://www.layingback.net/Pro_News/aid=65.html I have been testing and using Pro_News 3.1 and I think this module has a powerful feature and need to be explored further, and of course need adding more great feature. I love too much for this Pro_News module, and that is why I am too interested to add some enhancements. I almost complete my modification into version Pro_News version 3.1. Mostly, I made this modification based on the original News module such as "Related Topics" that I modified became "Related Articles" and "Notify Administrator of Pending Articles". The other modifications that I created is because of my need to manage article from Admin Panel, such as: Pagination link in Articles List page in, Forum ID selection in Category form, Show or hidden "No Image" holder in article page, Edit Forum ID from Submit Article page (just for edit/preview mode). I am sure this will be useful to others who need this great module! Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:14:37 GMT http://www.layingback.net/Pro_News/aid=64.html Just to let everyone know that the latest and greatest Pro_News is now available, initially just for Sponsors, but now for all Registered Members A lot of small but useful enhancements mostly, the sort of thing which makes building and running the site easier, even if you can't actually put your finger on exactly what changed. Most every annoyance I found when building Pro_News centric websites have been addressed, all minor though I must say, along with all the enhancements requested. Plus the Submit Article screen has been made much more approachable.
