Extension tx_news: Use different templates

TYPO3 Tipps

To differentiate the presentation of news in tx_news, the tx_news plug-in has the "Template" extension option. In it we see a dropdown called "Template Laypout".

This is not activated by default, so these must first be defined.

Procedure

In the root page of the Typo3 site, we need to call up the page properties by clicking on "Page" - "Root page" and the pencil.

In the Resources tab we find the "Page-TScofig". There we can define which items in the drop-down menu in the template of the tx_news plug-in can be opened and selected.

This is where it is copied:

tx_news.templateLayouts {

         1 = Normale News

         2 = Fortbildungen

         3 = News ohne Bilder       

}

If we now open the plugin, we see the relevant selection, but this has no effect yet, as tx_news still has no idea which modified resource it should access.

Where are the templates defined?

If we deviate from the normal template of tx_news, we define in the constants of the main Typo3 template where the fluid templates are stored.

plugin.tx_news.settings.cssFile = fileadmin/news/Resources/Public/Css/news-basic.css

plugin.tx_news.view.layoutRootPath = fileadmin/news/Resources/Private/Layouts/

plugin.tx_news.view.partialRootPath = fileadmin/news/Resources/Private/Partials/

plugin.tx_news.view.templateRootPath = fileadmin/news/Resources/Private/Templates/

Within these files, the various areas that are to be customised are now marked using Typoscript and a condition.

docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/news/2.2.1/Main/Templating/Additional/Index.html

E.g. as here in the path fileadmin/news/Resources/Private/Partials/List/Item.html

<f:if condition="{settings.templateLayout} == 1">

<f:then>

Typoscript für News Aussehen 1

  </f:then>

       </f:if>

        

       <f:if condition="{settings.templateLayout} == 2">

<f:then>

Typoscript für News Aussehen 2

 </f:then>

       </f:if>

        

       <f:if condition="{settings.templateLayout} == 3">

<f:then>

Typoscript für News Aussehen 3

 </f:then>

       </f:if>

Therefore, no different templates are used, but via conditions within my main resource.

If you have any questions about the Internet, web design or Typo3, please do not hesitate to ask me.
