Blocks for 'other stories' lists

The channel block (for scheduled editions channels) is just a teaser view of the current (ie. most recent) edition. A teaser view of an edition shows the 'Headlines' field as a list of titles, and doesn't display the 'Other Stories' field.

If you want your 'Other Stories' to appear in the teaser view, you can change this at .../admin/content/node-type/edition/display. In the cell at column 'Teaser' and row 'Other Stories', change the value from '<Hidden>' to 'Title (link)'.

(You may also have to tweak the themeing a bit to get what you want, but let's leave that for later discussion).

Or have I misunderstood your question? It is a bit ambiguous.

Having a look, don't think that will work.

Umm...

Yeah wasn't too clear.

For an edition you populate two lists with stories, one titled the "headlines", the other, "other stories".

Then in the '.../admin/build/block' menu you have access to a block corresponding to the list of "headlines" for that channel.

Is it possible to have a block created for each channel which corresponds to the "other stories" list as well?

Should be clearer.

Cheers.

Out of the box, ProsePoint doesn't support this feature (though we might consider it as a new feature request).

For now, you could try doing this yourself by using views. Essentially, you'd want a view that takes a channel as an argument and selects a single node (being the latest edition) for that channel. Instead of displaying the result as a node, you only want to display the title and 'Other Stories' fields. Finally, make the view display in a block.

You might find it helpful to either copy part of the view 'channel_editions_list', or just add a new block display to that view and override whatever you need to change.

Does this help?
