Sample Topic

Included in the Publishing module is the ability to use Topics, which provide a way of relating articles across categories. The model for this was the Slashdot site where each article is tagged with an icon that represents a topic. For example, they use a picture of a reel of magnetic tape to signify Data Storage which they associate with any article concerning the storing of data, so that if you click the icon, all the articles from any section will be listed. In this application, the icons are uploaded on the Images page with the file name as the topic name (underscores are replaced with spaces) where they are tagged as candidates for Topics so they will be included in the dropdown list on the Edit Articles page.
