News module for SilverStripe 3
==============================

[](#news-module-for-silverstripe-3)

A module to add a news page (like a blog) for SilverStripe 3. It uses DataObjects for individual news articles, mapping each one to an individual URL using $url\_handlers.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- DataObjects instead of SiteTree for news articles (much neater than adding every article into SiteTree)
- Controller $url\_handlers to provide each article its own page `//article/-/` (auto-generated)
- Individual article date & time - will not show if in the future allowing schedules posts
- Custom `Breadcrumbs()` function to add articles to breadcrumbs
- RSS feed
- Pagination (see below)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe >=3.1

Pagination
----------

[](#pagination)

By default the articles get paginated per 10 articles. You can change this (for instance) in your `mysite/_config/config.yml`

```
NewsPage:
  articles_per_page: 10
```
