Earlier this spring, we released a feature into the admin area called Today in History, which highlighted past content created on a specific date. To further expand on this feature, we have now added a landing page to display your historic content titled On This Day.
The On This Day landing page gives fans a chance to review past stories, videos, photo galleries, games and podcasts for the current day or they can choose to view content from several previous days as well.
The content displayed can be managed via the Today in History section. Here you can choose to mark content as visible or even as featured content which will have it display at the top of the page. We also added settings to hide pregame stories and games with losses giving you the flexibility to let the page run on its own or manage the content manually.
Providing further customization, there are three different layout options to choose from, each with a variant that includes a right column showing recent news.
This update also adds a new section into SIDEARM called Sport Impact Images. Found in the Sports Management section, the Sport Impact Images area will allow you to upload high quality cover photos for each sport. For their first use, the images will serve as the header of the On This Day page and will rotate through sports typically in season each month.
The On This Day page can be viewed or linked to by adding /on-this-day or /otd to the end of your domain.
