Additional Article Selection was created by ce technology_license
Wondering if there can be a selection option where you can add articles by ID number that will be automatically selected even when they don't match the selection options. Say if you have three schools with their own Featured articles module. Each module selects based on the articles category which matches the school. School a writes an article that should show up on the other schools pages. I'd like to just take the id number of that article and add it to the other two modules.

I'd rather not include them by tag because everyone has access to all the tags and a tag that glow "ALL ACCESS" is to tempting for all the authors. Now if I could set user/group permissions to tags...

Hello,

you don't have many options in this case, since you don't want to use tags.
You can add IDs manually in each module with the 'Include IDs' option.
I can't think of any other way to do this.

There is a problem: some articles selects with my settings, okay. I want to manually add one custom ID. I write this ID to the field. And... I see only this ID in the module. WHAT??? I want all articles as configured + one custom, not ONLY custom. Very inconvenient and not obvious.

Hello,

the documentation specifies:

'include IDs: include only these articles'
simplifyyourweb.com/documentation/latest...of-options/selection

But I understand there could be a need (although unusual - you are the first to ask) for including ids in addition to the current selection.

I will see how I can add that behavior in the next update
