custom fields in news?

Added by Reiner Lichtenberger about 1 year ago

Hi, is there a possibility to create custom fields in "news" or only the showed options.
Maybe with programming?

News currently do not allow any custom fields since there is no UI-accessible way to use those fields.

If you think there is a general use-case for custom fields, you could add a new issue and describe your details use-case, including what you want to store in the fields and how you would like to use the stored data.

I think it would be useful to have custom fields for news items, which would then get rendered as part of the news item post.

Imagine for example wanting to categorize news into different categories. Then "news category" could be one such custom field. Or imagine that release announcements in the news section should always refer to a specific version / tag / ... - that could be another custom field. Or news items announcing events will always refer to a date... that could be another custom field.
