This extension extends EXT:news with new types and a field "author profile" which can contain a link to any page.
- Install the extension
- update the database in the install tool if necessary
- Include static TypoScript template: "Additional types for EXT:news (news_exampleextension)"
{newsItem.type}contains four new types: blogText, blogImage, blogVideo or blogEvent.{newsItem.authorprofile}has the uid of the author profile page.
The list view maybe shows type "news" for all the new types. This is a core bug that got fixed in TYPO3 6.2.11. See #65689 for details. Kudos to Georg Ringer for fixing this issue.
