# Configuration {#configuration}

## Site Sets {#site-sets}

<!-- TODO: no Markdown rendering for "versionadded" -->

If you are working with TYPO3 v12.4, use TypoScript Records.

Using Site Sets is the new way how to configure your site and extensions.
Read more about it in the TYPO3 documentation at [Site sets](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/13.4/en-us/ApiOverview/SiteHandling/SiteSets.html#site-sets).

Follow [Configuration with Site-Sets](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/georgringer/news:configuration-site-set@main) how to use EXT:news in combination with Site Sets.

## TypoScript Records {#configuration-typoscript-record}

The extension ships some TypoScript code which needs to be included.

1.  Switch to the root page of your site.
1.  Switch to **Template > Info/Modify**.
1.  Press the link **Edit the whole template record** and switch to the
    tab **Includes**.
1.  Select **News (news)** at the field **Include static (from extensions):**

1.  Include the static template of `EXT:fluid_styled_content` or provide the
    following TypoScript yourself:

    ```typoscript
    plugin.tx_news.settings.detail.media.image.lightbox {
       enabled = 0
       class = lightbox
       width = 800m
       height = 600m
    }
    ```
1.  **Optional:** If your templates are based on Twitter Bootstrap, add the TWB
    styles as well to get optimized templates.
