Settings
Under "Settings" extension options, you can change the information and thus overwrite the default setting.
Select output mode: Defines the output/display of the news on the website. Choose between e.g. the list view, the detailed view or the date menu.
Sort by: Defines how news is sorted.
Sorting: News is displayed either in ascending or descending order.
Category mode: Here you can select which news items are to be displayed.
Category selection: Select your institution and target group here.
Including subcategories: Check this box if you want subcategories to be displayed.
Archive: Defines whether only archived news or only non-archived news should be displayed.
Note on the archive menu: If you create a plug-in with a date menu and also want to display archived (non-active) news there, the list view to which you refer must also be able to display archived news.
In principle, the date menu must have the same configuration as its list view. In the same way, each plug-in for the detail view must have the same settings as the list view.
Time limit & time restriction: Fill in these fields if you want to display news at a specific time or for a specific period.
Top news items: Select whether all or only top news items should be displayed.
Starting point: Select the news folder of your institution here.
