		+	= Homepage =
		+
		+	The homepage has been heavily customised to meet our specific requirements. The basis for the homepage content is the ''Tagged Items'' menu type.
		+
		+	The menu type shows a list of content items thumbnails that have the following tags:
		+	* ''All news and media/All news''
		+	* ''All news and media/All noticesheets''
		+	* ''All news and media/All newsletters''
		+	* ''All news and media/All audio recordings''
		+	* ''Featured''
		+
		+	The list is ordered by the creation date of the content in descending order. DPCalendar events whose end date has passed are automatically excluded to make sure that the homepage never shows outdated events.
		+
		+	In order to reduce the effort for the content author and to ensure consistency, the default view component has been customised as follows:
		+	* For DPCalendar events, the start date/time is generated automatically. Note that for all day events, no time is shown.
		+	* For DPCalendar events, everything that follows the introduction separator is hidden (which is the default behaviour for most Joomla content types but not for DPCalendar events)
		+	* For DPCalendar events and news/media content, a label is generated that indicates the category of the content.
		+
		+	The view overrides are stored in <code>[joomla-root]/templates/uber/local/html/com_dpcalendar/event/*.php</code>. As mentioned in the ''Upgrades'' section above, the <code>[joomla-root]/libraries/cms/helper/tags.php</code> had to be modified to extract the start date, end date and all-day-event indicator for DPCalendar events and to exclude historic events. Since Joomla has no override mechanism for library files, these customisations have to be reapplied manually after every upgrade.
