Creation of the news widget extension...!

New page

{{Extensioninfobox|title=News Widget|desc=A widget that displays the most recent news.|auth=Min|status=Stable|github={{Github|user=liwoyadan|branch=ext/news-widget}}|LKVer=2.1.0|migration=no|package=no}}

A small extension. Displays a widget on the logged-in dashboard that will show the most recently created/updated news and optionally a truncated text preview. By default the widget displays the two most recent news but can be configured for more. The widget is called with <code>@include('widgets._news', ['textPreview' => true])</code> and can be used elsewhere (i.e. in a sidebar) as long as the <code>$newses</code> variable is declared on respective pages.
== Installation ==

Pull the branch; resolve any conflicts if necessary and run <code>php artisan update-extension-tracker</code>.
There are no migrations in this extension.
== Configuration ==

Setting the 'textPreview' variable to true will show a 300 character long preview of the respective news along with a read more link at the end. Setting it to false will only display the title, posting, and editing date of the news.
To configure how many news are displayed, in <code>app\Http\Controllers\HomeController.php</code> in the first function in the file edit the '2' in <code>'newses' => News::visible()->orderBy('updated_at', 'DESC')->take(2)->get(),</code> to however many news you'd like to be displayed.
The widget itself can be edited and styled in <code>resources\views\widgets\_news.blade.php</code>.
== Usage ==

== Images ==

== Troubleshooting ==

I can be found in the Lorekeeper server!
