Swift v2, Articles?

Hi,

I'm having my first look at Swift v2, very much improved, thanks team Swift!

I see that Articles for example for creating a list of new Articles are not there yet? Is the plan that they will return in a later version, or will I have to set something up myself?

Thanks,

Justin

Hi Justin,

We are currently working on a new way to handle Articles in Swift v2, or more specifically how to use tags and categories on content pages.
This means that you for now can prepare your articles as just regular content pages, and when the implemantation is ready, you should be able to set tags and categories as additonal settings on these.
The plan is then to use the querypublisher to be able to use facets and queries to filter and structure the pages as article lists.

Best regards
Lisa

The articles concept from Swift 1 will not be moved to Swift 2.

In Swift 2 you create normal pages and add content like any other page.

We are currently adding "Tags" and "Categories" as a default DW feature for pages. When that is released, you can tag and categorize your DW pages.

Then we will release a new article list concept based on the querypublihser so that you can search, filter and list pages. This makes it possible to extend facets (e.g. tags and categories) with any other filter as you know it from products.

To create articles now, you simply create a folder and page structure and add the content. Then when we release tags and categories, you can add the article lists.

Hi guys,

I always felt that Query Publisher is the way to go with this feature. Having a standardized Tags and Categories attribute for pages makes it even more flexible.

What about article summary? Like Image, Summary, Author and Date? Will they become standard Page attributes as well?
Thank you,

Adrian
