News
The news record is obviously the most important record in this extension.
Add news record
News can be added in the News administration or List module.
By default there are three types of news records:
- Standard news: These contain the content directly as text or content elements
- Internal links: The content is stored on a standard typo3 page
- External page: The content is found outside of the news installation
Standard news
In most projects when you create a new news record it will be automatically a standard news record. To confirm this check that the field Type is set to News. Standard news should usually have a text in the field Text field, some content elements in the Content elements tab and or some media in the Media tab.
News as internal link
In some projects the text of the news itself is stored on a standard page. The news can still be listed in the list view of the news plugin.
Click the button Create new news record on the top of the News Administration module. Then switch the select filed Type to Internal link. Fill in the title field and other required or desired fields.
Then click the button to edit the Internal link.
When you are done, click the Save button. Depending on the settings of your project you might have to empty the cache before the news will be displayed in the list views.
News as external page
In some projects the text of the news itself is stored on an external page. The news can still be listed in the list view of the news plugin.
Creating an external page works just like an internal link. However you chose the type External page and enter the external link in the field Link to External URL.
