This NewsItem schema extender adds possibility to pin items on top of the listings. There is "Sorting Date" field added to newsitem content type which is indexed as "effective" value when set.

Development

This product was developed by ​http://quintagroup.com for Plone collective, sponsored by Headnet company ​http://headnet.dk/.

Usage

After product installation all newsitems get a new field - Sorting date. This field allows to sort newsitems in a listing according to the date/time specified in this field.

• If sorting date is NOT set - newsitems are sorted by their effective date as in default Plone.
• If sorting date IS set - newsitems are sorted by this date.

This field can be used in cases when you don't want to change object's effective date, but need to make is appear as the first in the listing.

Example

We have 4 newsitems in the News folder, they are now sorted by the date they were published:
