Mark Diggory commented on DS-560:
---------------------------------
I think what would be good is to narrow the requirements here rather than
having a developer run off an work on it.
1.) Should news be in an easily editable form like html or atom/rss?
2.) Should news be able to be referenced as an external URL to be included into
DSpace UI
3.) Should multiple "sections" be supported to insert content into the DSpace
UI in various panels that may be added via theming.
4.) Is "news" the right term here, are we not really just talking about
"content" sections.
TBH, the XMLUI is much more flexible than the JSPUI, and at the same time, your
users can get themselves into trouble if they do not know what they are doing.
For instance, using the dri based xmlui-news.xml in the configuration directory
and puting incorrect content into it will more likely break the whole UI, not
just the news section. Thus I recommend considering that whatever the source
that is populating the news, it not be in DRI, and instead be in html, that
would be output verbatim as a final transform prior to theme serialization, or
that the content be maintained in an Atom feed that would be referenced via
URL, such that it could reside in the filesystem or on an external server
somewhere. A User interface to "Edit" the content to be included could be
provided if the file resides in the config directory. likewise, the admins
could maintain the file separately and update is using the blogging platform of
their choice. This is a solution @mire implemented for UBC in the past:

The MediaRSS feeds are used to populate news and slide carousels
> XMLUI news feature in dspace/config dir

> Key: DS-560
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-560
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: XMLUI
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.6.0
> Environment: Not environment specific
> Reporter: Wendy Bossons
> Priority: Major
>
> The news feature -- both the news-xmlui.xml and related news-side and
> news-top .html files for xmlui live in the dspace/config dir. It seems like
> there should be a better location for these, other than the config dir. When
> changes are made to news, they are not propagated unless the init_config ant
> task is run.
> (Note: this JIRA task is the Topic of a dialog int he DCAT concerning ease of
> managing Content int he main Homepage of DSpace.).
