CLI

The extension provides some additional CLI options to manage new directly on the server:

  • ringo-admin news add <jsonfile> (The add command can be used to either add new or update existing news items.)
  • ringo-admin news delete <id>

JSON:

{"subject": "Foo", "date": "YYYY-MM-DD", "text": "Foo text the body of the
message"}

If the json contains an id then the command will try to load the item with the given id and update the news in the database. In all other cases (including giving no id at all) will create a new news item with a new id will be generated.

On default the added news will be added to all users in the system. Later enhancements might be giving a list of usernames, filtering by groups and roles etc.

As this command basically utilize the import of ringo like the ringo-admin db loadata command it is capable of doing almost the same things (e.g defining relation)
