I try to extend the tx_news extension with the field imageright.

For that I found this tutorial: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/news/2.2.1/Main/Tutorial/ExtendingNews/Index.html

The first step is to use extension_builder to add the field. As I already have a extension in where I want to implement the extension I do not want to use the extension_builder (also I tried it with a new extension and extend the news-model did not work - I have no clue how to do it right). However this are the steps I did:

  • In my extension my_template I added the folders and file: Classes/Domain/Model/News.php: 

        class MyTemplate_Domain_Model_News extends Tx_News_Domain_Model_News {

            /**
            * @var bool
            */
            protected $imageright;


            /**
             * Returns the imageright
             *
             * @return bool $imageright
             */
            public function getImageright() {
                    return $this->imageright;
            }


            /**
             * Sets the sort
             *
             * @param bool $imageright
             * @return void
             */
            public function setImageright($imageright)
            {
                $this->imageright = $imageright;
            }

    }

?>

  • /Ressources/Private/extend-news.txt:

    Domain/Model/News

  • Created the field imageright as tinyint in the table tx_news_domain_model_news (and added it to the SQL file)

  • I knew I have to create a TCA file in /Configuration/TCA/, but I have no clue how this should look like or what name it needs to have. I think this is the last step I need to make this working.

Also note the extension my_template was just a template, so before my changes there where no Classes and no TCA files.
