Extension Configuration¶
Some general settings can be configured in the Extension Configuration.
Go to Admin Tools > Settings > Extension Configuration
Choose news
The settings are divided into several tabs and described here in detail:
Records¶

¶
- archiveDate¶
- Type

Define how the archive date field should be rendered:
date
Render the field as pure date
datetime
Render it as date and time field
Define pid of tag records tagPid
¶
- tagPid¶
- Type
int
- Default
0
New tags can be saved directly inside the news record. The given ID is used as page on which the tag records will be saved.
This setting can also be done with TSconfig, see tagPid
If you want to use TsConfig to define the page, set the tagPid to 0 and use the following syntax in TsConfig:
# Save tags on page with UID 123 tx_news.tagPid = 123
Prepend at copy prependAtCopy
¶
- prependAtCopy¶
- Type
bool
- Default
1
If set and a news record is copied, the news record will be prepended with the string Copy X.

¶
Category restriction: Restrict the available categories in news records.
PageTsConfig:
TCEFORM.tx_news_domain_model_news.categories.PAGE_TSCONFIG_IDLIST=120.

Use content element relation contentElementRelation
¶
- contentElementRelation¶
- Type
bool
- Default
1
If set, you can add content elements as relation to a news record. This makes it easy to enrich the news article with further images, plugins, ...
If you want to reduce the available options of the content elements, you can use TsConfig in the sysfolder of the news records:
# Hide content element types TCEFORM.tt_content.CType.removeItems = header,bullets,table,uploads,menu,list,html,login,mailform,search,shortcut,div # Hide fields TCEFORM.tt_content.header.disabled = 1 TCEFORM.tt_content.header_layout.disabled = 1
More information can be found at http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TSconfigReference/PageTsconfig/TCEform/Index.html.
Enable manual sorting of news records manualSorting

If set, news records can be manually sorted in the list view by the well known icons "up" and "down".
Disable required date field dateTimeNotRequired
¶
- dateTimeNotRequired¶
- Type
bool
- Default
0
If set, the date field of the news record is not a required field anymore. Furthermore if creating a new record, it is not filled anymore with the current date.
Be aware that using this feature may lead to unexpected results if using e.g. the date menu if the field is not used anymore.
Show thumbnails in backend list module mediaPreview
¶
- mediaPreview¶
- Type
bool
- Default
false
If enabled, the list module will show thumbnails of the media items.

studiomitte/recordlist-thumbnail
to get it back in v11.
Advanced preview configuration for media files advancedMediaPreview

- uniqueInSite
The same slug can be used for news in different sites. Use this setting only if no news records are shared between sites.
- unique
The same news title in different sites will lead to different slug names.
Backend Module¶
Show administration module showAdministrationModule
¶
- showAdministrationModule¶
- Type
bool
- Default
1
If set, the backend module "News" is shown. This view might be easier for editors who use a very limited set of features in the backend.
Hide page tree for Administration module hidePageTreeForAdministrationModule
¶
- hidePageTreeForAdministrationModule¶
- Type
bool
- Default
0
If set, the backend module "News" is shown without the page tree. In combination with the TsConfig

Alternative configuration instead of Admin Tools¶
Instead of defining the property in the Admin Tools it is also possible to define
the properties in the AdditionalConfiguration.php
. This is useful if
you want to include the setting in version control.
