What does it do?

This extension implements a versatile news system based on the latest technologies which are provided by the TYPO3 CMS.

Best practise from the scratch

  • Easy to use/understand for editors
  • Using as many elements from the core as possible, e.g. FAL and sys categories
  • Checkbox “Top news” to flag important news
  • Built in support for content elements (like extension rgnewsce)
  • Support for opengraph in default template
  • Support of social websites (facebook, twitter) in default template, ViewHelpers for disqus, google+ & co
  • Tags

Background

  • Based on Extbase and fluid: Therefore very easy to style, understand
  • Unit tests which are executed automatically for every change
  • Following the TYPO3 coding guidelines
