Is there any plugin I cane use to change the "article" writting panel
I want to do a web newspaper (not a blog). So It would be fantastic for me, if I could change the “article” panel for something more adapted to newpaper news (with special places to writte pre-title; title; super-lead, Lead, and finaly the body of the news itself). It would be more user friendly for my colaborators.
Is there any plugin someone can sugest me. Or is there another way?
Thanks
Francisco

You can use the custom fields to do this. There’s a thread around somewhere on how to do it. I’ll be right back as soon as I find it.

OK, I can’t find it, but here is how I do it on my site:
<code>
<h2><txp:title /><br>
<txp:if_custom_field name=“Car No”><strong>No.
<txp:custom_field name=“Car No” /></txp:if_custom_field> <txp:if_custom_field name=“Sponsor”><txp:custom_field name=“Sponsor” /></txp:if_custom_field> <txp:if_custom_field name=“Car Make”><txp:custom_field name=“Car Make” /></txp:if_custom_field></strong></h2>
</code>
If any of the custom fields are empty then nothing is output for that field but the rest of the information is.
On my page for Tony Stewart, this outputs :
Tony Stewart
No. 20 The Home Depot Monte Carlo
You can assign the names for the custom fields in Admin > Preferences > Advanced Preferences Then arrange the tags as you like.
I don;t think I’d give the custom tags such specific names as I did though. Now that I am using this feature, I can see that I may want to use more than 10 specific fields and even though I use Field 1 as Car No in my driver bios, I may want to use that field as Track type in my track pages.

Thanks a lot! I’ll try it. (I’m still a novice in textpattern !)
If I have any doubt’s maybe I’ll bother you a little bit more.
My old site was www.diariocientifico.com. It was edited in html/dreamweaver and it didn´t have “backoffice”. I’m trying to do a similar site at www.semanariocientifico.com using Textpattern so that I and my collaboraters can publish news easier.
What’s your site anyway?
