RokStories is great way to display your articles and accompanying images as a featured item. The module itself is facilitated by Mootools to transition between images and articles seamlessly, and is perfect for showcasing featured articles on your site, as seen on the frontpage.

How To Add Articles To RokStories (Feature Section)

Every article that is displayed in RokStories (Feature) has to be assigned to the Feature Category.

You can display up to 4 latest posts from that category. If you are writing a new post and you would like it to appear in the RokStories, you just need to assign that post to the Feature category and add a large image and a thumbnail (instruction below).

Adding images to the posts shown in RokStories

To add the large image to the post, you have to add a Custom Field in the table below the postedit box. From the list please choose (or add new field) ‘large’ and fill the field under Value with your path to image ie. http://your-site.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/demo5.jpg

Please remember, for best results, the thumbnail should be no bigger than 410px x 200px

Thumbnails will be created automatically!

To check the path to an image, please go to the Media page in your administration dashboard, click Edit under the image you wish to use, and copy the path from the File URL field.

How to remove RokStories (Feature section)

Just go to the SolarSentinel Settings page in the admin dashboard and next to the Feature Category → choose None

Alternatively WordPress checks if there are posts inside of a category responsible for a specified section, and if it finds any article it displays that section. If you would like to remove a section, just unassign all posts from the category responsible for that section. If WordPress cannot find any articles, it will just hide it.
