The live coverage module allows site administrators to create nodes that can be used as live blogs.
Basic Setup
Detailed Setup and Usage
- Since the module uses nodes for all updates, these can be extended in various ways. Want to add pictures? Use a CCK file field with an image widget. Then use Imagecache and Lightbox2 for nice thumbnail and fullsize effects.
- Comments are also available on the update nodes, so be careful how you use them because it could get confusing maintaining commentaries within the live updates. Also, once pushed to the browser, the update nodes do not reflect changes, so also be cautious not to render the comments in the teaser view of the node.
