Introduction¶
This new version is using rtehtmlarea extension instead of now obsolete pb_rte_htmlarea. RTE is not mandatory anymore. There are also some multilaguage markers added into template so you'll get rid of english only messages.
For other requested features look at the to-do list.
What does it do?¶
It is a frontend plugin that enables frontend users to publish news. It even includes simple moderation function, RTE (htmlarea) support and image uploads.
Screenshots¶
Users manual¶
It is very simple. Go to the frontend page that contains plugin, fill form fields on page, choose desired image from your local disk and submit. If you are logged, frontend extension will take your FE name as author name, if not you will be recorded as anonymous . Before final submission you will have a preview with a chance to correct any mistakes. After submitting editing is not possible anymore.
Note:
When inserting links be careful to use “http://”.
FAQ¶
- Will you provide standards compliant template?
- Yes, in one of the next versions.
Adminstration¶
- Install extension and all the dependencies through extension repository.
- Include it on page as a content element using insert plugin option.
- If you enabled moderation option, news items queue will be in task center.
Configuration¶
In constant editor or in Typoscript Object browser set following options:
- plugin.tx_fertenews_pi1.storagePID = pid of news or categories storage page
- plugin.tx_fertenews_pi1.newsPID = pid of news page
If you want to enable moderation of submitted news items set:
- plugin.tx_fertenews_pi1.queuePublish = 1
- plugin.tx_fertenews_pi1.mailAdmin = your e-mail address
Do not forget that if you want full RTE compatibility you have to turn off html transformations on page where you will publish your news items, or you have to at least specify a broad list of allowTags to your parseFunc function.
