Scenario

  • The website is the same news site as in the previous example.
  • There are topic writers who author content in certain topics. (Their content is later edited by the editors from the previous example.)

Taxonomy configuration

Create a "Topic" vocabulary at admin/structure/taxonomy. Add terms for each news topic.

Add a "Topic" term reference field to the core article content type, using the "Topic" vocabulary.
