extension news typo3 preview function

Question

Hi I am looking for a way to preview a new newspost with the extension news from Georg Ringer. Is there a way or an extension to do this? In the documentation I cannot find a way to achieve this. Does anybody has a workaround for this?

Answer 1

As Michael says, you need to create a (hidden = BE users only) preview page with a news plugin on it and set

plugin.tx_news.settings.enablePreviewOfHiddenRecords =1

See http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/news/AdministratorManual/Configuration/TypoScript/Index.html?highlight=hidden#previewhiddenrecords

If you call this page something "preview page for hidden news", it should be very understandable for editors.
