EXT:news integration

The extension pdfviewhelpers ships with a PDF template for EXT:news. You can use the default template provided or customize it in any way.

Enable default template

To enable the default template you have to include the static TypoScript template pdfviewhelpers - EXT:news. All the TypoScript settings that are needed are limited to the special page type 28032013. In order to link to the PDF view you have to include this page type in the link generation:

<n:link newsItem="{newsItem}" settings="{settings}" title="{newsItem.title}" configuration="{additionalParams: '&type=28032013'}">
        Download as PDF
</n:link>

Customising the PDF

Most of the typography aspects can be changed solely through TypoScript configuration by changing the existing text types (see also text types). Please make sure that all your configuration is limited to the page type 28032013.

[globalVar = TSFE:type = 28032013]
        plugin.tx_pdfviewhelpers.settings {
                text {
                        types {
                                teaser {
                                        fontStyle = regular
                                        fontSize = 16
                                }
                                footer {
                                        alignment = center
                                }
                        }
                }
                headline {
                        types {
                                title {
                                        color = #ff642c
                                }
                        }
                }
        }

If you need to change the layout or extend the header and footer content, you can provide your own Fluid template that is located in EXT:yourext/Resources/Private/Templates/Extensions/News/Templates/News/Detail.html:

[globalVar = TSFE:type = 28032013]
        plugin.tx_news {
                view {
                        templateRootPaths {
                                5 = EXT:yourext/Resources/Private/Templates/Extensions/News/Templates/
                        }
                }
        }
