Let’s start with the improvement to the Lists functionality.

With version 3.33.0. of Sportal365 comes an update to the system’s platform's Lists functionality.

From now, you’ll be able to create two types of lists:

• Editorial Lists

• Lists based on Tags and Sports connections

Editorial Lists

Editorial Lists is actually what the Lists feature used to be before, ; a way to group together only editorial content using the three major content types i.e. Articles, Videos, and Galleries.

The creation of such lists follows the already familiar flow of list creation.

4.  Select the type of content to add – Article, Video, Gallery -- in the Available content search box.

5. When you add the content to your list, select Save list.

List based on Tags and Sports connections

And here comes the new feature.

Unlike Editorial Lists, lists created using tags and sports connections let you create lists with group content based on, well, tags and sports connections you’ve created/added. Not editorial content such as articles, videos, and galleries.

By creating lists with tags and sports connections, you can give yourself the chance to create sections with “hot topics” across your website portfolio. This means that when you click on a “hot topic” on your website, it will take you to a page with content only related to the specific tag/sports connection you’ve used to create your list.
