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This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated.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

newstocontentrelation

TYPO3 CMS extensions that converts the bodytext fields of news records (ext:news) to relations to tt_content.

Setup

Install the extension with the extension manager. A new backend module will apear below admin tools. If this does not happen, please reload the backend (e.g. by logout-login).

How does it work

It counts all records in tx_news_domain_model_news. For each news record, it adds a new tt_content relation with the content from the bodytext field (the main content area of a news record). Afterwards the content from bodytext is be removed.

Know problems

Access restrictions such as time based access and the deleted flag are currently honored while fetching the records. Therefore it is not possible to convert those records with the current code. A possible solution would be to reset the repository settings to include all records to fetch also deleted and access restricted records.
