This +ext is reserved to administrators only. However if you limit the access of your folders (this will be explained in detailed mode in the future) you will able to allow the news approval, deletion and other to one ore more BE users.
This manual is under development, so that to run correctly the extension I suggest to follow step-by-step the configuration instructions; see next Chapter.
Legal issue: somewhere in your site please cite the sites/engine visited.
It is recommend to read carefully this steps, otherwise it will be very difficult to run correctly the extension!
Install the extension from admin BE user.
just installed please clear /typo3conf cache.
Confirm the requested DB modifications. The extension requires tt_news +ext installed and will add a new field to tt_news table: this is required to understand from what site the news was fetched.
Create a sysfolder (i.e. name it NEWS_FEEDER) to store your configuration parameters and take note of the PID number:
a. within your site you can create one or more folders – suggested: create one folder.
b. edit the page properties of your FOLDER or another page in your root-line (above your page...) and in the Tsconfig insert the following configuration lines – simple you can copy/paste them:
(copy and paste, then change references...):
mod.web_txttnewsfeederM1 {clearCachePages = 1,364,365,366,367,369,370,378,383
useRandomTime = 1
fetchImages = 1
resizeImages = 1
resizedJpgCompression = 60
resizedImagePxWidth = 80
maxImageByteSize = 20000
maxImagePxWidth = 240
maxImagePxHeight = 240
useSubIfTitleIsEmpty = 1
useTitleIfSubIsEmpty = 1
backDays = 7
suspendFlag = 0
autosuspendLimit = 100
maxRecordsPerSession = 30
feederSysFolderPID = 353
newsSysFolderPID = 360
removeExternalOldNews = 20
removeMyOldNews = 360
debugFeed = 0
charSet = cp1252
cronWriteOnlyAccredited = 1
}
Images
TEST/MANUAL CHECK - If you need to download images note that News Feeder you must define the following parameters (like above):
fetchImages = 1
resizeImages = 1
CRON MODE - If you need to download images remember that the pictures are written within uploads/pics. News Feeder assigns automatically them to owner/group of the folder uploads/pics. However you can force another owner/group adding this two params to the configuration above:
apacheOwner = www-data
apacheGroup = www-data
Finally you can set the compression quality for Jpg file formats and the limits (see reference).
Clear the cache
Just in CRON mode, when the feeder is over, you need to clear the cache for some pages, using this parameter:
mod.web_txttnewsfeederM1.clearCachePages = all
depending on your needings you can use 'pages', temp_CACHED' (see TYPO3 API reference).
