Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
This extension allows you to display template-based RSS-Feeds based on tt_news categories. The editor is able to choose which feeds (=categories) are shown including title and description.
Please take a look at the screenshots to get an idea.
|img-1| This extension has been created by CYBERhouse

Users manual¶
To use this extension follow these steps:
Install the extension
Insert the Plugin on the same page and choose the categories you want to display
Include static TS “News-feed (RSS,RDF,ATOM)”
Read the next section to get further information!
Configuration¶
Title & Description¶
You can set a title and a description for every feed in the plugin. One line is for one feed!
If you leave a line empty, the title & description of the category record will be taken! This is set with the (included) TS:
# TS Code
lib.chnewsfieldsnewstitle = RECORDS
lib.chnewsfieldsnewstitle {
tables = tt_news_cat
source.field = tx_chnewsfeedsCat
conf.tt_news_cat = TEXT
conf.tt_news_cat {
field = title
#noTrimWrap = |Kategorie: | |
}
}
plugin.tx_chnewsfeeds_pi1 {
title {
trim = 1
ifEmpty.stdWrap.cObject < lib.chnewsfieldsnewstitle
}
}
Categories - General Storage PID¶
There is not much to configure. Important is that the extension uses the General Storage PID of tt_news. So if you have enabled this in tt_news, you need to set the pid with the tt_news categories as for the tt_news plugin.
More information can be found in the manual of tt_news!
Each category represents a link¶
Setting the checkbox called “Each category represents a link “ will show just 1 RSS feed including all chosen categories.

Feed Configuration¶
The feed itself is still configured with tt_news! The extension chnewsfeeds just generates the links to the feed!
If you want to change the feed itself, you need to take a look at the manual of tt_news! I for myself changed the configuration a bit and it looks like this:
# TS Code
xmlnews = PAGE
xmlnews {
typeNum = 100
10 >
10 < plugin.tt_news
10 {
pid_list >
pid_list = 83
recursive >
recursive = 10
singlePid = 42
defaultCode = XML
dontUseBackPid = 1
useSPidFromCategory = 1
useSPidFromCategoryRecusive = 1
useHRDates = 1
useSubCategories = 1
displaySubCategories = 1
categoryMode = 1
}
config {
disableAllHeaderCode = 1
additionalHeaders = Content-type:text/xml
no_cache = 1
xhtml_cleaning = 0
}
}
You like the extension?¶
I had much work with this extension so if you like this extension, you can do one or more of the following things:
- Write me a mail or create a posting at http://www.rggooglemap.com/dev/chnewsfeeds.html .
- Please rate the extension in the Repository: http://typo3.org/extensions/ search for chnewsfeeds, click on the title and then at “Ratings” (You need to be registered and logged in at typo3.org)
- Donate something, so that I can write those kind of extensions for you. More information is here: German: http://www.rggooglemap.com/menu/spende.html and English: http://www.rggooglemap.com/en/2/donate.html . Thanks!
One of those things is the least you can do for getting all those great extensions completely for free!
Known problems¶
- If you use realUrl to rewrite the tt_news category parameters, disabling the checkbox “Each checkbox represents a link” won't work.
- Nothing else known but please tell me if you found a problem!
To-Do list¶
Nothing planned! If I I missed something please tell me!
