When ttnews_feeder is launched interactively or via CRON it stores the news in the DB for the sites marked 'production' ; news fetched from accredited sites are immediately published (to do it, please configure your TSConfig properly, parameter:  clearCachePages).If you don't clear the cache or the page cache is not cleared using other methods your news will not available in the FE. News approval is very easy.

Click on  Web > News Feeder and click on your FEEDER FOLDER. I suggest you, before run a Manual Check, to define correctly one or more sites and then test them through the menu 'Site/Search Engine Test'.

Manual Check loads the news retrieved in your database; the news fetched from accredited sites will be immediately available online if you set the cache parameters correctly (see forward for the parameter:  clearCachePages).

This otpion is only for Admins - Click on  Web > News Feeder and click on your FEEDER FOLDER. You can define one or more search engines/site to visit and easily fetch the news required. Just you have define one site and marked it as 'test-site' you can try if it works correctly and test the criteria loaded for exclusion or automatic approval. Note: this option visit all sites and repeats the visit for each keyword associated.

This option allow you to delete manually all news updated, according the preferences selected for each searc engine/site defined. News will be not really deleted, it will be loaded on your database as record marked 'deleted'. This is very useful  because News Feeder will check if a title is already loaded and all criteria will work until the record will be removed definitely.

Acts only on the records deleted with the previous; records will be definitely removed from your database after the number of days according to your preferences, see option removeExternalOldNews (external News) and helps you to maintain clean your database for your internal  News, see the option: removeMyOldNews.

Images note: this option will remove definitely all images related to your  news.

This is a simple report for each search engine, showing if the engine is under test, hidden and other parameters for delete and clean options.

This otpion is only for Admins - This allows the admin user to load any of predefined sites listed and checked.

New siteif the site was not loaded before, it will be added on your database. Each new site added will be configured to run on test mode; to run it on production mode you should edit the record properties and change the status.

Updateif the site was  created before using News feeder the site (if checked) will be automatically  updated. Updating process  modifies  only the fields containing the occurrences to extract records from the page and the site url to connect.You must re-update your site definitions when something goes wrong (i.e. You can't more read news from Google.com).

Important – if you need update your sites, remember that running this options News Feeder doesn't uses internet to establish a connection and download new definitions. You must to reinstall the extension. To do it the best way is to download directly from typo3.org/extensions/ and avoid older version (often mirrors are not updated).

Warning – updating process override all fields values and it is based on the creation date for the records listed. The only way to use data from a pre-defined site is to copy it ONLY using the BE interface; infact the creation date changes and you have a new site that will be not more update. This could  happen  e.g. you are dutch and you need to copy 'google.com news' site to keep  the original site and modify the copied (e.g. google.nl news).  Read the following steps:

Latest site update
