Source News/Magazine - Work in Progress

A quick Sunday shout about some tweaks to our front page news/magazine feature...

A few bits of tuning going onto the structure of our longest running feature here on Soul Source, yep the soul news and articles feature'

How The Articles and the Forums integrate/works (recap)

When a news article is posted the article also gets posted in a relevant forum as a forum topic

When the article or the forum topic is commented on the comments then show on both the article and the forum topic

News Section Listing and Item Layouts

Both the listing and news item layout has changed to a less formal/complexx style, to reflect a more 'news' aspect

The articles sections will retaing the more deliberate layout and format

News Section Changes

A major change is the sectioning up of our main 'soul music news' category, this has been driven by the rise of pre-sales and the way labels both promote and sell their releases noiwadays.

With some releases we have had, never mind pre-order announcements but some have started doing pre-pre-order announcements, which can lead to a lot of hassle avoiding repetition.

We now have 2 sections for Releases 

Soul Releases - News of the latest Soul releases (ones that areavailable right now)

Soul Pre-Orders - Upcoming Soul Release News (Pre-Order news)

Sections

Soul Music Articles  - Soul music related articles & features

Soul Music News - Latest /General soul music news and information.

Soul Releases - News of the latest Soul releases (ones that areavailable right now)

Soul Pre-Orders - Upcoming Soul Release News (Pre-Order news)

Soul Media - Latest Soul audio/video content

Soul Event News - Latest soul music major music event news.

Northern Soul Hall Of Fame - Archive of the Soul Source Northern Soul 'Hall Of Fame'

Freebasing - Off the soul beat news and articles section

Source Store News - Latest Source Store News

Source Site News - Latest Source Site News

The main news listing page will show all section itemsas per before

eg

the above tweaks should hopfully result in a more easy to navigate and use feature and help avoid 'confusion' that has been creeping in recently
