Plan which lists are hand-picked and which fill themselves

No list without an owner: either an editor curates it or the tree feeds it.

Life cycle: Plan, example 7 of 35. Worked out on the Fit & Healthy site of Exponential 6.0.15+.

Contents

  1. In the Layouts editor
  2. With templates
  3. Which to choose
  4. Check

In the Layouts editor

  1. Curated lists (Prefooter "Most popular articles"): Manual collection.
  2. Section lists ("newest in Fitness"): Dynamic collection with a parent location and sort.

With templates

  1. A template list is a fetch( 'content', 'list', ... ) and belongs to the developer.

Which to choose

Switching a manual list to dynamic later removes its manual items (the editor warns), so decide early.

Check

  • Each list in the plan is marked manual or dynamic.
