Publishing rules are special content types that are set up to dynamically display content based on some predefined behaviour. FarCry ships with a library of publishing rules for contributors to choose from. Developers can customise these rules or build their own. For example:
- The "news" rule allows a contributor to select a type of display, categories for filtering and the number of news items. When a visitor accesses the page with this rule, the predefined rule grabs the very latest news items matching the specified categorisation and displays them with the selected template. When news content is added to the system, this rule will automatically update the page without any further intervention.
- The "child links" rule will display teasers from all a pages underlying child pages. This sort of behaviour is used to populate a summary or landing page dynamically based on the underlying pages of that section of the website. Add, update or remove a page and the landing page is automatically updated.
- The "random fact" rule " will randomly pick and display a predefined number of fact content objects. This rule would update and refresh its content every page request. This is often used as a great way to show off testimonials or other snippets of information.
