Features -------- [](#features) ### Backend users as article authors [](#backend-users-as-article-authors) The *author* and *author\_email* fields are hidden, but a new field for selecting a backend user as author for the article is displayed instead. The old fields are still accessible through e.g. `{news.author}` though. To access the backend user record, utilize `{news.authorRecord}`. ### Profile page for backend users [](#profile-page-for-backend-users) Backend users now contain a *profilePid* field which allows linking to a static page for displaying the author's profile. The page id to link to it is accessible through e.g. `{news.authorRecord.profilePid}`. ### Abstract for backend users [](#abstract-for-backend-users) This extension allows to add a short abstract about the author to each backend user record which is accessible through e.g. `{news.authorRecord.abstract}`. If you set "abstract relations" in the extension manager, you'll be able to select a tt\_content record as abstract, which is translatable and therefore suggested for multi-language setups. Access the related tt\_content record with `{news.authorRecord.abstractContent}`. We also added support for the avatar-field which is available in TYPO3 v7. Use the file reference from the authorRecord to display the user's avatar image right next to the abstract; `` ### Automatic assignmend of current backend user [](#automatic-assignmend-of-current-backend-user) If you create or edit a record, the backend user you're currently logged in as will be assigned to the news record as author automatically. ### Filter articles by author [](#filter-articles-by-author) You can utilize TypoScript setting `plugin.tx_news.settings.authors` or GP param `tx_news_pi1[overwriteDemand][authors]` to filter records by author(s) where the first takes precedence over the latter. Both take a comma-separated list of backend user id's to filter records. This way, you can set up author pages with a list of their articles or filter the news list by author. ### RTE transformation service to support code formatting [](#rte-transformation-service-to-support-code-formatting) As the default RTE transformations drop almost anything required to properly display multi-lined code with proper indentation, it adapts the news' *bodytext* field (where you type your content into) and applies the following transformations **to content wrapped inside pre-tags only**: - Before storing content into the database: - Consecutive space characters are converted to non-breaking spaces (` `). This allows proper indentation, as they would be dropped otherwise. - Newlines are converted to `` in order to keep line breaks where intended. - Before displaying content inside the RTE: - `` tags are converted back to newlines for easier editing in RTE. ### Health Score 23 — LowBetter than 27% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community4 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
