It is deliberately limited to creating and displaying short news, or alternatively an RSS feed, to ensure simple and straightforward use and maintenance. Available widgets: - Editorial News: Displays a short list of important messages and announcements for the editorial team - Adding news is restricted to admins by default - Integrators may allow editors to create and manage news items to show for everybody - Editorial Feed: Displays a short list of important news feed items for the editorial team - Integrators may set up an external RSS feed to show news from a project blog or release notes etc - Welcome: Displays a welcome message for editors with useful links and information - Integrators may add a link to a custom manual [![Screenshot](./Documentation/screenshot-widgets.png)](./Documentation/screenshot-widgets.png) ✨ These news records are not enough for your needs? Check out our [internal news extension](https://github.com/xima-media/xima-typo3-internal-news), which provides a full-featured backend news system including categories, media files, recurring dates, a dedicated toolbar module, and a breaking news feature (display selected news as modal when a user logs in). ✨ You want to give your editors some more insights to the content quality of their pages? Check out our [content audit extension](https://github.com/xima-media/xima-typo3-content-audit), which shows stale content, missing metadata and more. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP - TYPO3 Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require xima/xima-typo3-dashboard-news ``` ⚠️ When you want to configure the widgets you need to require the package in your sitepackage, to keep the correct order of service definitions. Source ------ [](#source) Usage ----- [](#usage) - Configure the widgets as needed (see below) - Add dashboard news items to the root page (or any other page, just change the configuration accordingly) - When editors should be able to create news items, make sure to give them access rights to the storage folder and the news record table, and change the widget configuration - Allow the widgets in the backend group settings - Let editors add the widget to their dashboard ### Configuration [](#configuration) You may configure the widgets by adjusting the available parameters. Copy and paste the `parameters` section from the [Services.yaml](./Configuration/Services.yaml) file into your own and adjust the values as needed. Example to allow selected editors adding dashboard news records in storage folder `1337` as well and reduce the maximum characters shown: *EXT:acme\_sitepackage/Configuration/Services.yaml* ``` parameters: xima_typo3_dashboard_news.widgets.news.options: allowedPageUids: [0,1337] maxCharacters: 200 ``` Example to fetch news from a custom project feed: *EXT:acme\_sitepackage/Configuration/Services.yaml* ``` parameters: xima_typo3_dashboard_news.widgets.feed.options: feedUrl: 'https://example.com/agency/release-notes.xml' ``` The package comes with a preset including all widgets. To assign the preset to all new users, add this line to your TSconfig: ``` options.dashboard.dashboardPresetsForNewUsers = tx_ximatypo3dashboardnews_dashboard ``` Widgets are always filtered by permissions of each user. Only widgets that are permitted for the user appear on the board. 💡 Hint: You may create your own a dashboard preset including some default widgets you want to show your editors: [TYPO3 Docs - Dashboard Presets](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3-cms-dashboard:dashboard-presets) Development ----------- [](#development) To set up a development environment, please clone the repository and run ``` ddev start && ddev init-typo3 ``` Execute the command again to reset the installation.
