1.13. Changelog

changes in tt_news 2.5.0

  1. New feature: category trees in BE are expandable and collapsible now (requires xajax)

  2. New feature: added a new backend module called "tt_news category manager" (Requires TYPO3 4.0). This module is located under web/info. It shows the complete category tree - of course expandable and collapsable - and offers drag and drop for moving and copying news categories. Thank goes to: CNV (Christelijk Nationaal Vakverbond) for sponsoring this feature.

  3. New feature: "Exclude already displayed news". The new TS option "excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews" allows you to place multiple news plugins on one page where the plugin itself takes care that no newsarticle is displayed twice. This feature makes the options "excludeLatestFromList" and "listStartId" obsolete. If "excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews" is enabled "excludeLatestFromList" and "listStartId" will be ignored.

  4. New feature: added the category tree to be_users and be_groups records. Now it is possible to select the allowed and visible categories for a certain be_user/group with the category tree. If categories are selected in the be_user/group records the TSconfig settings 'options.useListOfAllowedItems', 'tt_newsPerms.tt_news_cat.includeList' and 'tt_newsPerms.tt_news_cat.allowedItems' have no effect anymore. (thanks to netcreators.nl for sponsoring this feature)

  5. New feature:

    Now it's possible to export news as RDF and Atom 0.3 additionally to the formats RSS 0.91 and RSS 2 (Thanks to Ingo Renner for the patches)

  6. New feature: "Single view with multiple pages". Pagebreaks can be inserted manually or after a certain amount of words.

  7. New feature: "Bidirectional relations". If a news record has a relation to another record, the relation back to the source article will be inserted automatically.

  9. New feature: "Human readable Dates". tt_news can now be configured to use "year" and "month" instead of "pS". "pL" and "arc" for links pointing to certain archive periods.

  10. New feature: Human readable dates can also be used for the link to the single view. Additionaly to year and month the link for single view can show the day, so realUrls can look like this: /news/view/2004/10/19/newstitle/

    (Thanks again to Ingo Renner for the patches)

  4. It's now possible to use the "Latest"-template to display archived news. (new TSvar: "displayArchivedInLatest")

  5. new TSvar "dontUseBackPid": If you enable this, you can prevent the use of the variables for dynamic back-Links in links, that point to the single-view. The advantage is, that all those links will look the same, what will f.e. prevent multiple indexing by the indexed search. (RealUrl Links will also look nicer without backpid-paramters).
