Extend the Contao news module with categories which allows for better news organization in the frontend and backend. Every category has its own title, alias, front end title, description and other useful features. Additionally, each of them can be hidden from the public just like the news articles. The extension comes with adjustments to all news frontend modules and an extra content element which allows for even quicker frontend stuff setup.
