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This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated.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.

Render content elements

If news is configured to use relations to content elements, those are shown by default in the detail view.

There are two options how to render those elements

Using TypoScript

This is the default way in EXT:news. A basic TypoScript configuration is used to render those. This look like this:

lib.tx_news.contentElementRendering = RECORDS
lib.tx_news.contentElementRendering {
        tables = tt_content
        source.current = 1
        dontCheckPid = 1
}

If you need to extend this, the best way is to introduce your own TypoScript which can be saved anywhere. This needs then to be referenced in the template.

<f:if condition="{newsItem.contentElements}">
        <f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.yourownTypoScript">{newsItem.contentElements}</f:cObject>
</f:if>

Using Fluid

You can also use fluid render the content elements. As an example:

<f:if condition="{newsItem.contentElements}">
        <f:for each="{newsItem.contentElements}" as="element">
                <h3>{element.title}</h3>
                <f:if condition="{element.CType} == 'text'">
                {element.bodytext -> f:format.html()}
                </f:if>
        </f:for>
</f:if>
