Provides dexterity content types for news articles.
Project description
Introduction
ftw.news provides dexterity content types for news articles and an integration for ftw.simplelayout (news listing block). An optional feature can be installed allowing the news listing block on the Plone Site to render specially marked news items only.
Compatibility
Plone 4.3.x
Installation
Add the package to your buildout configuration:
[instance]
eggs +=
...
ftw.news
Install the “default” GenericSetup profile.
Optionally (and additionally to the “default” GenericSetup profile) you may install the “show-on-homepage” GenericSetup profile.
Install the “select2js” profile from “ftw.keywordwidget” if you do not have installed the “select2” plugin yet.
Usage
Create a news folder then start adding news items into the folder.
News listing and archive portlet
By default, news folders support simplelayout and a news listing block is added to the news folder when the folder is created. There is also a news archive portlet, which works with the news_listing view, but it does only appear on the news folder when the news folder default layout is switched to news_listing or on views such as the archive view of the news listing block. The portlet does not appear on the simplalyout view (standard view) of news folders because they may have no or many news listing blocks, which would then be confusing.
Mopage Support
ftw.news provides integration for the mopage mobile app (http://web.anthrazit.org/).
Data Endpoint
The view mopage.news.xml returns an XML-feed with the latest news within the context it is called. It can becalled on any type of object.
The mopage-API expects a partnerid and a importid. They are incldued when submitted via GET-parameter, e.g.: http://foo.com/news/mopage.news.xml?partnerid=123&importid=456
The endpoint returns only 100 news by default. This can be changed with the parameter ?per_page=200.
The endpoint returns Link-headers in the response with pagination links.
Trigger behavior
The behavior ftw.news.behaviors.mopage.IPublisherMopageTrigger can be added on a news folder in order to configure automatic notification to the mopage API that new news are published.
In order for the behavior to work properly you need an ftw.publisher setup. Only the receiver-side (public website) will trigger the notification. A configured collective.taskqueue is required for this to work.
Buildout example:
[instance]
eggs +=
ftw.news[mopage_publisher_receiver]
zope-conf-additional +=
%import collective.taskqueue
<taskqueue />
<taskqueue-server />Then enable the behavior for the news container type and configure the trigger with the newly availabe fields.
