Panopoly News is both a simple news content application and a great starting point for building more robust and powerful news applications. It installs pre-configured with sane defaults so you can immediately focus on adding content instead of spending time with difficult setup. However, you can also easily customize and extend Panopoly News to fit your needs. Beyond all the great features inherited from Panopoly, Panopoly News offers the following:
Key Features
Simple Design - Sleek, smooth and easily customized design... and with panelizer you can change the layout and position of your content.
Good Default Functionality - Free tagging, Related Content, Featured Content, More by this Author and RSS... and with the In Place Editor you can customize every display.
Easy Configuration - Easily add content, configure your app and remove or add demo content with the improved toolbar... and integration with the Apps module means it is easy to add in your own configuration and default content.
Admin Experience - Easily edit and/or delete your content with contextual links. No more clicking 5 links to find what you are looking for.
Linked Field allows you to link fields in the field formatter settings. E.g. you have a content type teaser with an image and a link field and you want to link the image to the entered link.
You can either select a field for used for destination or simply enter a token you need (Token support) + HTML attributes for the generated link as well.
