CP5 Publishing

 

The home page displays a Features tab displaying the headline article from each section, as well as a Spotlight bar highlighting another article from each section. Articles must have images attached in order to appear in these presentations; if there are no articles with images available for a given section, that section's Feature tab will be removed until an article is available, and another section will get two Spotlights at the discretion of the Editor in Chief, Web Editor, or Managing Editor.

In CP5, the home page is divided into two main columns, each with an upper and lower division. The content that appears in each division will also appear in empty divisions of sub-pages. The Upper Right division contains the Twitter/Facebook buttons. The Lower Left division contains an updated feed of each section's most recently edited articles (this is based on articles being tagged in the proper categories). Any content added in these divisions will appear on every page of the site.

The Upper Left division of the home page contains the Spotlight bar and the Features Splitter, which splits that content into two columns. The right column contains the Photo Story photo gallery; if there is an article accompanying the photo story, it will appear below the gallery. The left column houses the Features tabs, which in turn hosts a teaser for each paper section.
