General configuration

The general configuration covers options available during the creation and editing of news records.

templateLayouts

templateLayouts
Type:array
Path:tx_news

The select box Template Layout inside a plugin can be extended by using TSconfig. Contains an array with key-value pairs. It is possible to define Groups using the --div-- keyword.

allowedColPos
Limit a layout to a list of colPos values.

Examples: Add template layouts

Show 3 layout options with the specified key / value pairs.

tx_news.templateLayouts {
      1 = Foobar
      2 = Another one
      3 =  --div--,Group 2
      4 = Blub
}

You can use this setting within the Fluid template by checking {settings.templateLayout}. See a complete example: Template selector tutorial.

By using the configuration allowedColPos it is possible to restrict a template layout to a specific list of colPos values.

tx_news.templateLayouts {
   1 = Foobar
   2 = Another one
   2.allowedColPos = 1,2,3
   3 =  --div--,Group 2
   4 = Blub
   4.allowedColPos = 0,1
}

archive

archive
Type:string
Path:tx_news

Use strtotime (see http://www.php.net/strtotime ) to predefine the archive date

Example: Set the archive date

Set the archive date on the the next friday:

# Example:
tx_news.predefine.archive = next friday

tagPid

tagPid
Type:integer
Path:tx_news

Besides the configuration in the Extension Configuration it is also possible to define the pid of tags created directly in the news record by using TSconfig:

Example: store new tags on page 123

Store new tags on page 123.

# Example:
tx_news.tagPid = 123

categoryRestrictionForFlexForms

categoryRestrictionForFlexForms
Type:bool
Path:tx_news

After defining the category restriction in the Extension Configuration it is also possible to restrict the categories in the news plugin. This needs to enabled by TsConfig:

# Example:
tx_news.categoryRestrictionForFlexForms = 1

showContentElementsInNewsSysFolder

showContentElementsInNewsSysFolder
Type:bool
Path:tx_news

If a sys folder is configured with Contains Plugin: News, content elements are hidden on those pages in the page and list module. If the content elements should be shown, use the Page TsConfig.

# Example:
tx_news.showContentElementsInNewsSysFolder = 1
