Important changes

Changed behavior for TS settings.search.paginate.itemsPerPage

The TypoScript setting settings.search.paginate.itemsPerPage has been disabled in the default TypoScript setup.
This makes it possible that the setting provied in the plugin configuration (FlexForms) is used.
However, this uses the default backup of settings.list.paginate.itemsPerPage.

Deprecated hooks

The following hooks have been deprecated and will be removed with the next major version:

• $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['news']['Domain/Repository/AbstractDemandedRepository.php']['findDemanded']: use the event \GeorgRinger\News\Event\ModifyDemandRepositoryEvent
• $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['news']['Controller/NewsController.php']['overrideSettings']: use the event \GeorgRinger\News\Event\NewsControllerOverrideSettingsEvent
• $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['news']['Controller/NewsController.php']['createDemandObjectFromSettings']: use the event \GeorgRinger\News\Event\CreateDemandObjectFromSettingsEvent
• $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['news'][\GeorgRinger\News\Hooks\PluginPreviewRenderer::class]['extensionSummary']: use the event \GeorgRinger\News\Event\PluginPreviewSummaryEvent

Calling any of the aforementioned hooks will trigger deprecation log entries.

Features

New events

Finally the last hooks of the extension are now available as event to follow the best practices of TYPO3 core.

The most used is $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['news']['Domain/Repository/AbstractDemandedRepository.php']['findDemanded'] which is used to modify the query to fetch the news records. This is now available as \GeorgRinger\News\Event\ModifyDemandRepositoryEvent.

See above for a full list of available events.

Support of PHP 8.4

PHP 8.4 is now officially supported.

Features

Provide additional information to result of Live Search

The result of the live search now contains additional information from the fields:

• Date
• Teaser
• Author
• Slug

This makes it easier to find the correct record.

Improved suggest wizards in FlexForms

The suggest wizards in FlexForms now skip pages that are not reachable.
The selection of a page for the detail view ignores doktypes like sysfolder.

This makes the life of editors easier - especially on bigger instances.

Tagged Data Processors

The usage of the data processors has been simplified by using their tags.

      # old
      10 = GeorgRinger\News\DataProcessing\AddNewsToMenuProcessor
      20 = GeorgRinger\News\DataProcessing\DisableLanguageMenuProcessor
      new
      10 = add-news-to-menu
      20 = disable-language-menu

Site Set Support

The extension now supports site sets as drop in replacements for TypoScript includes.

TYPO3 13 only

Flag topnews records in backend list

If a record is marked as topnews, it is now highlighted in the backend list
with a small blue border on the left side.

TYPO3 13 only

Add StatusInformation to pages with news

If a page contains a news plugin, a small icon is shown in the page tree to indicate this.

This feature is TYPO3 13 only and can be disabled in the global extension settings.
