A little question. When a user submit a news with Main Menu>News>Sumbit News, he only has 'The Scoop' and not the rest of the text. To split the text, the admin would have to go in the Admin Section to split the text in the 2 text areas.

Is there a reason for that? As a user, I would like to be able to write the scoop and also the rest of the text. Is this beacause we want to keep it simple for user? Is there an easy way to let the user splits its news?

Thanks for your lights !

Next version of the News module will have one single Submit News form, which will look differently depending on permissions.

I guess that the "extended" text is only available through the admin menu (in the current News module) because it isn't meant for just anybody... but I think it should be configurable, who can write the extended text.

That would be a nice feature for the next version of News. You've got my vote!
