TYPO3 newsslider for news system extension 4.0.0

Is there a way to have newsslider extension working with the latest tx_news(news system) 4.0.0 on a fresh installed typo3 7.6.0 besides digging into code? The extension installation warning says that it requires a manual intervention? The page where the plugin is inserted gives Fatal error: Call to a member function wrapClickMenuOnIcon() on null in typo3conf/ext/newsslider/Classes/Hooks/PageLayoutView.php on line 252 viewed in backend.

What is the solution for having any kind of a newsslider with above typo3 version and news system version?

You can always write the template yourself. After all the extension does little more than providing a html rendering (via a custom news template) and some preconfigured Javascript. - pgampe

As written already in the comment, the best way is to use a templateLayout.

Add the following into the Page TsConfig:

tx_news.templateLayouts {
       10 = Slider
}

And then you can select the entry "Slider" in the plugin. Inside the template, you can now check {settings.templateLayout} by using a <f:if>and change the markup you need for the slider.

The great advantages using this way are:

  • No additional dependencies to another extension
  • Use the jquery or any JS library which fits best
