Intranet News Teaser Icons

Dan Osby asked on April 9, 2015 21:22

How you you remove the news teaser icons? We do not want to have to upload a teaser image with each item nor do we want the default camera icon to display.

From Kentico Support...

"To be able to edit transformations in the Intranet latest news widget, you have to first enable this option in the Widgets application. Here search for Intranet latest news, go to Properties select field TransformationName and check Display field in editing form checkbox."

You can edit the transformation for the news listing web part (ex: a repeater) and remove the code for teaser image.

Something like this

  <div class="teaser">
<a href="{% url %}" title="{% title %} ">
  {% if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(NewsTeaser)) 
    { 
      "<img src=\"~/App_Themes/CorporateSite/Images/no_image_news.png\" width=\"60\" alt=\"Default news teaser image\" />"  
    } 
    else 
    { 
      GetImage(NewsTeaser, title, 90, 0, 0) } 
  |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}
</a>

In the News page type, you'd set the field to "not required" and "hide on public form". If you simply delete it, you'll have to fix all transformations (not that you shouldn't) but this will give you a quick fix to hide it from the form and not require users to enter something.

Brenden, we cannot find where to set the field to "not required" and "hide on public form". Do you mean Admin \ Pages or Admin \ Templates?

OK, found out how to hide it on the editing form, but it still shows up on the list of news articles on the home page.

Hi Rui, I apologize but I'm a newbie with Kentico. How do I find where to edit the transformation for the news listing web part? I went to Admin\Web Parts\News List, but I can't find anywhere to edit the transformation!

OK Rui, I think I found where to modify the transformation. But the code you gave didn't do anything.

This simple little thing should not be so hard to pull off!
