Drupal Newsletter
Proof of Concept

Pathauto:

• issues:  /issue/2008/03
• articles: /article/2008/03/16/title
• case-studies: /case-study/2008/03/05/title
  

Issues:

• Issues need to have a panel of all associated articles/views etc (done)
  
• I want the node page of issues to be the same as the wireframe (done, thanks for the panels!)
  

Taxonomy:

• special section (done)
  

• 'in the media'
• interview
• drupal dojo
• drupal groups
  

Fields for Articles/Case Studies:

• Issue node-reference: authors don't see. it's automatically set to the newest issue when an editor clicks on a link. admins can override. (done)
  
• Featured (check-box -- when checked, will appear in the 'featured story(ies)' block of that issue. only editors can set this.) (done)
  

New content type for 'event'

• event start/end date(s)
• appear in calendar page view
• past events of each article: list most-recent 5 that have passed since date of issue
• upcoming events: list 5 next upcoming events past date of issue
• events archive: list all past events, based on now
  
• upcoming events page: list all upcoming events, based on now

View blocks/panels/whatever:

• panel of 'issue': (in progress)
  
• title block, which says 'current issue' if nodequeued
  
• cover story
• upcoming events
• also in this issue
• past events
• case study
• interview
• other features
• in the media
• front page: (tentative; open for discussion)
  
• this will be a view that fetches the issue from the 'current issue' nodequeue
• it will display the 'full node' view, which will be the panel for that issue
• the only difference between 'current issue' and 'april 2008 issue' will be the title in the title block
• issues page (done)
  
• path is http://drupal-newsletter/issues
• sortable table view of issue date & title
• do we want to use automatic titles of 'january 2008', with a subtitle instead? (yes, it's done now)
