Things I Miss From Article Manager 1
|
Can't Post

While I like Article Manager 2, there are some features that I miss from Article Manager 1, and at least one that worked better in the previous version. - Syndication
- True, RSS is better, and if I had to choose between the two I'd choose RSS, but I'd rather have retained syndication and added RSS.
- I can live without this one, but not everyone understands RSS.
- Publish Summary Only
- I'm not looking for anything fancy, and I hate having to do in a work around what once came standard.
- I really miss this one, especially in all of the ones that I had first published in Article Manager 1 and which now lead to blank content pages.
- The old way of doing external links
- I often link to relevant articles published elsewhere, and in connection with the publish summary only feature.
- The new way of including external links publishes the link on top of the next category header and confuses the reader, who thinks it's in reference to the next article. I can't use that feature in Article Manager 2 because the placement of the external link doesn't make sense.
- If we were still had the summary only feature, I could do that in a link following the summary.
- Without the ability to publish the summary only, I can't think of a use for this one, and certainly not if it inserts the link on top of the next article header.
