news module

It should have some sort of category and icon attached to that specific subject.

And the most needed feature, seperate template to specify how the data is presented.

This is actually a REALLY good idea. I'm just at as loss on how to do it and make it usable in the web admin interface. I suppose we can add an option to the news interface to adjust it's template, but it would be global. Unless you could have multiple templates in the News and then assign it, sort of like: {cms_module module="News" template="template1"}

If you're interested in helping out with this, that would be cool. Unfortunately, I don't really have time for the handle module details, since there is a list a mile long of core things to be done.

As usual, come over to the IRC channel if you want to discuss in depth. It's much easier than forum correspondence.

Add this to the CSS

.cms-module-news {
background: url(images/cms/news.png);
background-position: left top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-left: 45px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
.cms-news-title {
color: #6666ff;
font-weight: bold;
}
.cms-news-date {
color: #dd0000;
}

Then add news.png to images/cms
