Where's my News article? [solved]

[javierdl]

As you'll infer, I'm a total rookie at this so please bare with me.
I have managed to get the cms installed, and got to change some colors around.
Now I created a news article (News Test), but I don't see it anywhere
Wasn't it supposed to appear on the left side of the Home content?
Btw, this is my cms site

Ok, two problems.

First, your article is still in "Draft" mode - you need to change it to "Published" before it will show.

Second, there is no call to the news module in your template -you need to add {news} somewhere in the sidebar div of your template.

Excellent! Thanks a lot Nullig!
Now, to "add" the tag... is this something I can do with the CMSms GUI?

You can put the {news} tag in the template or a page when editting, in page be careful it doesn't get wrapped in a format...

On the Admin menu, go to Layout and select Templates. Find your current template, the one with the green checkmark, and click on it. Scroll down until you find:


       
and add a line after that with:

{news}

making sure it's before the .

Yes!

No doubt, you guys are doing what you should be doing: helping rookies like me 

Thank you both so much. This issue is now happily solved
