In this screencast, we'll run down a few different ways to search for stories, photos, and other elements in your Zope4Media content management system.

Here are three reasons you might need to search for content in the system:

  • To find related stories in your recent online archives.
  • To find file photos to run with new stories.
  • To find existing stories that need a correction or revision.

Zope to release multi-photo uploader

In the next week or so, Zope is expected to release a multi-photo uploader in its content management system.

The uploader will allow Zope users to batch up upload several photos at once, opposed to uploading one at a time.

This has been a top request of many newspapers, so it’s arrival is good, good news. And should save time in your workflow.

The feature will work in the same matter of how you upload photos currently.

Highlights:

- Add several photos to Zope at one time
- ‘Bulk’ edit metadata for all the photos prior to uploading to CMS


Remember your ‘keywords’ in Zope

A quick reminder on the importance of including keywords in Zope stories when publishing content to your site.
 
From our Zope manual: On the top right side of the screen, add a few keywords in the “Keywords” field. The words you enter here will help Zope and search engines--like Google and Yahoo--know what this story is about.
