This patch changes the help so that it: * stresses that stories are nodes in their simplest form * removes all the bloat about workflow. workflow can be configured for any node type, why should nstories mention it? * removes parts of voting, queues, promotion, comments etc. Any node type can have this. * adds a note that you can use stories for personal blogging, and as general pages, pages with no specific purpose (I consider, for example, a forum node a node with a special purpose) * stresses that you should use other modules (taxonnomy, menu) to give the node a place on your site. set to CVS but will apply to 4.5 too..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 10, 2005 - 17:41 : Bèr Kessels Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/story_help_0.patch (3.06 KB) previous patch was the one before spellchecking.

The teaser is part of the body too. Stories may be used as a personal blog or for news articles. Longer: Stories are articles in their simplest form: they have a title, a teaser and a body, but can be extended by other modules. The teaser is part of the body too. Stories may be used as a personal blog or for news articles. By default, no menu item, or navigation element is created for a story. An extra feature of a story is, that an administrator can specify a submission guideline and enforce a minimum word count for user submitted stories ------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 13, 2005 - 20:42 : Dries This patch doesn't apply against HEAD. patching file modules/story.module Hunk #1 FAILED at 14.
