[opencms-dev] Using the news module with version 5.0

[Rod Thorburn]

Hi Joe,
If you plan to us JSP's then in my opinion you should use v.5.0 . The news
module does work with v.5.0, but when I set this up I executed the SQL
statements to update the database / create tables "manually" (i.e. don't
rely on the automated setup routine) - the scripts are in the news module
zip file - and then afterwards import the news module from the
Administration View of opencms.
 
I would add though (and again in my experience and for my purposes) that I
have since disposed of the news module. Whilst the concept is good it is
functionally inadequate from the perspective of the user e.g. a news item
can only appear in 1 channel / most of the time users had to create a "page"
and news item (two separate functions). As an alternative I use JSP template
of which I can provide details if you wish.
 
Rod

Can someone help me understand the best version to use?  I'll need the
functionality of the news module and possibly JSPs. 
 
I succesfully installed the latest version 5.0 beta, but couldn't get the
news module nor the opencms website demo functioning.  I downgraded to
version 4.6 and both items are installed and working now.  Should the news
module work automatically with the 5.0 release?  If not, is there a way to
make it work?
 
Thanks for any direction you can give.
 
Joe
