8.0.0 - 2020/21/04

Breaking changes

The following changes should be carefully checked.

Removed ViewHelpers

The following Social ViewHelpers have been removed:

  • Disqus
  • GooglePlus
  • Gravatar
  • Twitter
  • Facebook/Comment
  • Facebook/Like
  • Facebook/Share

Remove local xlf files

The translated xlf files have been removed in favor of Crowdin as Language Service. In TYPO3 10 Crowdin is used by default, for 9 Crowdin must be enabled with a feature flag.

Get all information about that at https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/master/en-us/ApiOverview/Internationalization/ManagingTranslations.html.

The Crowdin project can be found at https://crowdin.com/project/typo3-extension-news.

Use extension configuration api

Watch out that only the configuration $GLOBALS[’TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTENSION']['news'] is used. The serialized counterpart $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['extConf'] has been deprecated with TYPO3 9 already!

Remove import command

The import command controller has never really been used and has been removed.

Features

Improved SEO features

The TitleTagViewHelper has been migrated to use the PageTitleProvider.

Hreflang on news detail pages

If using languages with the language mode strict, the hreflang tag must only be generated if the according news record is translated as well!

EXT:news reduces the rendered hreflang attributes by using this event and checking the availability of the records.

Check availability in Fluid templates

If you are building a language menu and want to check if the news record is available, you can use the ViewHelper <n:check.pageAvailableInLanguage language="{languageId}">. A full example can look like this:

<ul>
    <f:for each="{LanguageMenu}" as="item">
        <f:if condition="{item.available}">
            <n:check.pageAvailableInLanguage language="{item.languageId}">
                <li class="language-switch {f:if(condition:item.active, then:'active')}">
                    <a href="{item.link}">{item.navigationTitle}</a>
                </li>
            </n:check.pageAvailableInLanguage>
        </f:if>
    </f:for>
</ul>
