Topics

Topics are a type of content on Crew-List which allows users to share information or organize discussions. A topic can be a piece of news, blog, document discussion or a review. Each topic is tagged with a topic type to make it clear what this topic is about.

There are a few things you can do regarding topics:

• Topics can be placed in a group or outside a group. When creating it outside a group the topic is visible on the homepage stream and on the profile of the author or the topic overview in a group.
• You can create a topic by using the ‘+’ button in the header menu or the button on the topic overview page of your profile. When creating you can either choose to add it to a group or not. You can also create a topic in a group directly from the group itself.
  
  Creating a topic inside a closed or flexible group will only be available to members of that group.

• An author can edit his own topic, but site managers and content managers can edit any topic created by others, unless they are unpublished.
• Same goes for deleting a topic. This can be done at the bottom of the topic edit page, or Mgmt roles can delete it from the content overview.
• Set Topic types

Using the editor

• The following video demonstrates the use of the WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) Editor that is used to compose Topics.
• Note: While the below video was developed to use a similar editor on another site (Motion Media), it should give you a fairly good primer on the one we use!
