titleArticles are more than just text.

The Sportal365 CMS is designed to deliver more than text-only articles. The system offers a set of editing tools and features that help journalists optimize and develop their content into rich sports-specific articles.

Article bodies are broken down into blocks, where creators can inserts text, but also different types of content, statistical and social media information as supporting materials–videos, image galleries, contextual widgets, statistical data, social media feeds, and more–, so their editorial content best meets the preferences of their audience.

See Content properties for specific titles and Widgets.

titleArticles need three components to be created.

To create a new article inside the system, three elements must be in place–a Title, a Category, and an Author. If those three fields are not occupied, you won’t be able to create, save, or publish a new article.

Info

Note that even though articles are rarely published without images, images are not a mandatory component to create and publish articles.

titleArticles are written and edited in blocks.

The body of articles is broken down into blocks, or what we call the Blocky. Each block has an editing panel, which allows journalists to polish and develop their content. Blocky lets creators highlight important passages in articles, insert contextual widgets and football statistics, as well as combine various types of content inside the body of their articles.

Writing in blocks optimizes the content-creation process easier, and makes possible the native display of content on mobile devices.

Info

Note that you can paste text from an outside source (e.g. Word) and the CMS will automatically break it down into blocks.

titleArticles can be saved as drafts.

To make work easier, the CMS saves drafts of your articles. If you start creating a new article, and for some reason, you exit your editing screen–the system saves a draft locally and you can later continue where you left off.

Info

Note that this is only possible when creating new articles, it won’t work if you want to edit an existing one. We did this to preserve your work in the cases when several people collaborate on one article.
