You don't use any special module. Just use the built-in Document content type. The "News" section type is for a news-release kind of display which is also close to what a Blog section would look like. It's pretty easy to customize this for what you need.

Thanks Mike.

What are the instructions to customize whereby creating a separate document type for blog is created with /blog in the URL and not disturbing/editing existing document for News? Would like to have both types and maybe add a third.

Thanks!

I found instructions within a March 2014 video entitled "Drupal Association Webinar: Plugging in to Open Atrium 2.0 - Extending OA 2.0's Capabilities" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfStOxR9p0s at approx 24:00 minutes in.

Now, the 'News Section' title has been renamed 'Document Section'.

I just stumbled upon the actual detailed procedure.

[REQUEST] Please include this detailed procedure as a part of the documentation AND refer to this video, although a more recent video would be even better. Also, the documentation still refers to the 'News' section. It doesn't mention e.g. the ability to clone an existing section nor provide an example of when to use the 'Files' section.

The creation of the 'Task' functionality was created from scratch at the beginning of the video (prior to the 24:00 minute mark). Now 'Task' is provided out-of-the-box. Great info though for creating the section content structure from scratch.

Again, all of this info should be made widely/easily available.

Thanks!

This video is already linked on the main Open Atrium project page: www.drupal.org/project/openatrium. Go down to the Videos section and you'll see the "Drupal Association Extending Open Atrium" video in the list. It's actually from Aug 2013 not Mar 2014. There are also a lot more videos on that page that are useful to watch.
