DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

Improved back links ¶

The back link on a detail page is a fixed link to a given page. However it might be that you use multiple list views and want to change the link depending on the given list view.

A nice solution would be to use this JavaScript jQuery snippet:

if ($(".news-backlink-wrap a").length > 0) {
        if(document.referrer.indexOf(window.location.hostname) != -1) {
                $(".news-backlink-wrap a").attr("href","javascript:history.back();").text('Back');
        }
}

Creating links with fluid ¶

Besides the ViewHelper <n:link /> you can also use the ViewHelpers of fluid itself:

<f:link.page pageUid="13" additionalParams="{tx_news_pi1: {controller: 'News',action: 'detail', news:newsItem.uid}}">{newsItem.title}</f:link.page>
<a href="{f:uri.page(pageUid:13,additionalParams:'{tx_news_pi1:{controller:\'News\',action:\'detail\',news:newsItem.uid}}')}">{newsItem.title}</a>

Render category rootline ¶

If you want to show not only the title of a single category which is related to the news item but the complete category rootline use this snippets.

<f:if condition="{category:newsItem.firstCategory}">
        <ul class="category-breadcrumb">
                <f:render section="categoryBreadcrumb" arguments="{category:newsItem.firstCategory}" />
        </ul>
</f:if>

and

<f:section name="categoryBreadcrumb">
        <f:if condition="{category}">
                <f:if condition="{category.parentCategory}">
                        <f:render section="categoryBreadcrumb" arguments="{category:category.parentCategory}" />
                </f:if>
                <li>{category.title}</li>
        </f:if>
</f:section>

<ul>
        <f:for each="{newsItem.tags->v:iterator.sort(order: 'ASC', sortBy: 'title')}" as="tag">
                <li>{tag.title}</li>
        </f:for>
</ul>
