Placement of automated News module on landing pages

[michaelhugill]

Hi, it's looking like the automated news module is placed at the bottom of landing pages (ie for Ministers and Departments), but in both the platform and prototype pages we've created previously, News is the third item in both Minister and Department landing pages.

@michaelhugill: I'm not sure I follow - do you have links to the platform and prototype page?

(please don't include the domain, just everything after the .com)

Just noticed two other things:

1. The link to 'More news' has been moved to the subheading title (News) - we don't link subheading titles on landing pages. In both platform and prototype there's a 'More news' link sitting under where the actual news items are surfaced. That's a consistent pattern for all 'modules' on landing pages:
   Title/subheading eg News
   Text/images eg actual news article previews/snippets
   Link to page that module comes from eg News page within that section (we are hoping that this link will be styled as a button in the future)
2. The URL in the 'News' link goes to the global news page, but it's actually supposed to go to the News page within that department and minister section. So if item 1 above can be fixed, the 'More news' link should go to the News page within that section.

@ltankey I have to go into a meeting now. I'll get you those links and more info later this morning.

@michaelhugill re 1: is this the "All our news" link on a section home page?

It would be useful for both these points if you could include the page you are on - we have quite a few 'News' links now, so it's difficult to work out where you're meaning.

As a standard template, consider:

What page are you on? i.e. /department-of-communications-and-the-arts
What did you expect?
What did you see?

This will help us understand the problem in more detail. If images are useful in aiding this, they can be pasted directly into this box.
Cheers

@ltankey It might be as simple as showing you how we want the news concept to work on landing pages.

Here's an example from prototype/comms-minister/index.html:

• User sees an unlinked subheading/module title called 'News'
• User sees some example news stories (aka previews or snippets)
• User sees a link to 'More news' which takes them to the news page within that section (eg /comms-minister/comms-minister-news.html) and not the global news page

That means platform/minister-for-communications needs to change to:

• Place news module in same order as on prototype, eg third subheading/module down
• Remove link from 'News' subheading and create link below called 'More news'
• The URL for 'More news' should be the News page within that section, not the global news page
