BASIC INFO: LAYOUTS AVAILABLE

  • default - this layout shows the output like the nomal List view mode. You  show/hide and move some elements acting on the checkboxes
  • newsletter-plain - this can be useful to obtain an output on a particular page where you can copy the text (dragging the mouse) and then paste it into a textarea (ie. Direct Mail) to send plain format newsletter
  • cards - you can select 1,2,3,4 columns and according to the maximum news to display (see news configuration) you can get one or more rows
  • Universal - no bootstrap needed toDO!

KNOWN PROBLEMS

none

NOTES

  • not tested with other bootstraps than bootstrap_package. Prefereably install bootstrap_package.
  • this +ext load some scss styles. If you get some error maybe that you are not using scss.
  • not yet tested with less. Maybe in the future there will be a new version for less and scss, now the extension works only with scss
  • documentation at the moment not available, but the use is very intuitive

TESTED UNDER ...

TROUBLESHOOTING

    solution: include the library newsstylist editing the whole template
