6.0.0 - 2017/21/03

Finally 6.0.0 has been released which supports both current LTS versions, 7.6 LTS and 8 LTS.

Important changes

The following changes might be important for your installation.

Version dependency 7.6.13+ or 8.5+

To improve the performance and code quality, at least TYPO3 7.6.13 or 8.5. are required.

Deprecate ViewHelpers for Facebook, Google+, Twitter

The following ViewHelpers have been deprecated:

  • <n:social.facebook.like />
  • <n:social.facebook.comment />
  • <n:social.googlePlus />
  • <n:social.twitter />

The ViewHelpers will be removed with the version 7.0.0.

Install & configure the extension rx_shariff which takes care of the privacy of your users!

Renaming of partials

The following partials have been renamed

  • Detail/FalMediaContainer to Detail/MediaContainer
  • Detail/FalMediaImage to Detail/MediaImage
  • Detail/FalMediaVideo to Detail/MediaVideo

Error message if news not found

While rendering a detail view and a news record is not found anymore (e.g. because it has been deleted or set to hidden) an error message is now shown instead of an exception. This has been achived by setting the following default TypoScript:

plugin.tx_news.settings.detail {
        errorHandling = showStandaloneTemplate,EXT:news/Resources/Private/Templates/News/DetailNotFound.html,404
}
Copied!

To achieve the previous behaviour, use

plugin.tx_news.settings.detail {
        errorHandling = pageNotFoundHandler
}
Copied!

Check width & height set in Flexform

Width and height of images can be set in the plugin. Previously those values have not been used in the templates but they are used now.

<f:image image="{mediaElement}" title="{mediaElement.originalResource.title}" alt="{mediaElement.originalResource.alternative}" maxWidth="{f:if(condition: settings.media.maxWidth, then: settings.media.maxWidth, else: settings.list.media.image.maxWidth)}" maxHeight="{f:if(condition: settings.media.maxHeight, then: settings.media.maxHeight, else: settings.list.media.image.maxHeight)}"/>
Copied!

Improved Administration module

The administration module recived again some more love!

The link in the administration module to toggle the filter form has been moved to the toolbar.

Furthermore the template has been improved to work on smaller screens.

Disable override demand default on

The checkbox Disable override demand in the plugin is now by default enabled.

Features

List of all features.

Provide filter by type

The NewsDemand class got a new property types which can be used to filter the returned news records by its type.

Ajax Pagination

The templates and documentation has been enhanced to make it easy to use AJAX for the pagination. Thanks to Helmut Hummel who provides the awesome extension typoscript_rendering which is used for it.

Add enclosure tag to deliver images in the stream

The List.xml template which is used for RSS feeds is enhanced with the enclosure tag which provides the url to the first preview image.

Add ViewHelper to display media files inline

Using images in the RTE is often loved by editors and disliked by integrators and developers. With this version, a mixture is available which can satisfy all users.

By using the RenderMediaViewHelper in the templates, an editor can now place the keyword [media] in the RTE which are replaced by media elements saved in the FAL relation.

Benefits:

  • An editor can place images and media elements where he wants
  • The relation is safed in a safe manner
  • The media elements can later be still modified

Improved content element relations

To improve the usability of content elements added to a news item, the preview in the backend is enhanced by rendering the content elements as in the page module.

Support for EXT:guide

The extension guide shows guides to editors and makes it easy to explain features. A guide for the administration module has been added

Improved Import module

The import module has been rewritten:

  • Use requireJS
  • Use jQuery instead of ExtJS
  • Use bootstrap for the forms
  • Use a callout for the backup info

Simplify getters for FAL fields

Add easier names for the getters of fields to FAL. As the non-FAL fields have been removed, the simplified getters have been reactivated to fetch the FAL fields. This makes the templates far easier to read.

  • newsItem.falMedia => newsItem.media
  • newsItem.falMediaPreviews => newsItem.mediaPreviews
  • newsItem.falMediaNonPreviews => newsIten.mediaNonPreviews
  • newsItem.firstFalImagePreview => newsItem.firstPreview
  • newsItem.falRelatedFiles => newsItem.relatedFiles
