First up - what a great app! I have been searching for the ideal platform for a news aggregation site for the wine industry and finally settled on Drupal. Then I found Managing News.
Sorry if this is a little basic - but I have seen in a blog post by Alex Barth called Customising your Managing News reference to storing additional data.

"In some cases, you may find the need to store additional data with every aggregated item. Managing News uses the Feeds and Data modules to aggregate and store feed content. These modules allow for a flexible mapping and allocation of storage space for feed elements. Here is a screenshot showing how one would add the author field to the set of aggregated fields"

Clearly there is some way to access the other drupal modules but I cannot find where to locate the drupal admin menu in the theme. Can somebody please advise?

It's not there : )

You'll have to navigate your way through Drupal without the menu.

Go to http://yourwebsite.com/admin/build/blocks and turn on the navigation block.

Turning on the navigation block does not get around this.

I use DQX AdminMenu with Managing News - http://drupal.org/project/dqx_adminmenu. And it works (where Administration Menu module only showed the same items as in Managing News out of the box.)

Unlike Administration Menu, DQX AdminMenu does not use the menu_links system, but fetches directly from menu_router instead. So it bypasses the restrictions in MN.

I hope this helps someone else - this used to drive me crazy about MN!
