To add a news item which will be displayed automatically under News, do the following:
Alternative 1
- Go to News in the left-hand navigation pane
- Select Create_news_item
- Fill in the correct data after the newsdate tag [[newsdate::YYYY-MM-YY]]. This tag is essential for the news list to work as expected.
- After editing, save the page. It may take some time for the news list to be updated. To enforce updating, you can use the Purge command: http://heureka.resgeom.slu.se/wiki/index.php?title=Heureka_MediaWiki&action=purge
Alternative 2 (if alt 1 doesn't work)
- Create the page. The page name will be the news heading.
- Add the following code
[[newsdate::YYYY-MM-YY]]. Your text... [[Category:News]]
After that, same as in 3 and 4 above.
