Problem to publish news

[apastorini]

Hello, I am trying to "tune" my local installation, but for example, when
I try to create a news, I have the following problem (*)
(Do I need install any drupal modules? do you have user manual to help to configure the appareance like https://joinup.ec.europa.eu?)

I guess you are trying to use the user 1 or similar to create directly a news, right?
In Joinup news can be created only in scope of a collection, and never from the admin links.
So the correct flow is to:

• log as admin and create two terms in the policy domain vocabulary. One needs to be a child of the other;
• log as a generic user (user should be available);
• go to /propose/collection (this is needed on a fresh new installation, otherwise a tile will be available in the /collections page);
• create a collection and press propose;
• from the homepage of the collection, click the "plus" menu and create a news from there.

Please note that the collection and all the related content won't be visible unless a moderator approves the collection. This is done by logging in as moderator, clicking on your icon and then dashboard (/dashboard) to find the unpublished content waiting approval.

We should probably document the workflow more indeed.
