Summary

The Summary field of the Edit Article page

Enter the article summary into this field. By default the text is entered into a simple web page oriented word processor but you can click on the "Raw HTML" button if you ever want to format your article text by manually entering the HTML tags yourself. In "Raw HTML" mode, there will be a button labelled "WYSIWYG" (What You See Is What You Get) to switch back to word processor mode. The article summary is also mandatory so do not leave it blank.

Moderation

The moderation section of the Edit article page only appears if the logged in user has moderator permissions. If a user submits a new article or edits an existing article, the article is not validated and therefore not visible to anybody who is not a moderator. An email is sent to the Main Moderator address as configured on the Site Admin page asking for the article to be validated. The moderator can then view the article and mark it as validated (or not!) and can optionally email the original submitter informing them that their article is now publicly visible.

I've just added an article but it doesn't appear in the Recent Articles box, Forthcoming Events box, or RSS feed

The contents of the Recent Articles and Forthcoming Events boxes are the same as for the RSS feeds for your home and calendar pages respectively. Producing the RSS feed consumes a relatively large amount of Webulator server resource so this task is cached for one hour whenever it is first run.
