FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Overview
The News module provides a straightforward method for creating and publishing news articles on a website. In some respects it is similar to the Blog module, however news articles are meant to be focused more around press release style content - this means a News Article can be represented by normal Content, a hosted file (eg a PDF) or a completely remote article on a separate website. Additionally, News Articles allow authors to specify a separate Summary from the main content, useful for aggregating content references on your site, and allows authors to attach a thumbnail for an article.
News Holders can be configured to automatically file contained articles into a date based hierarchy, generating a hierarchy for archive purposes.
Unlike the Blog module, the News Module does not support widgets at all, and does not come with Comments enabled by default. While these things could be added on by yourself, it is not core to the functionality of the module.
Documentation
Extract to the "news" directory in your SilverStripe folder, and run dev/build. You should now have a "News Holder" page type, and News Item page types to be created beneath the news holders.
The News module also provides functionality to automatically file articles beneath a hierarchy ordered by Year, Month and day. This will then automatically provide an "archive" type functionality for news articles. To enable this, select the checkbox for "Automatically file contained articles" on the News Holder.
Known issues
When creating articles with the automatic filing functionality, and its eventual parent location isn't visible, the article will initially appear in the root of the site tree, even though it has been created underneath the correct location. Refreshing the tree fixes this problem.
Pagination will not work when using the SubSections loop when the holder contains child holder pages because the Pagination details will be separate for each child holder page. Use the TotalChildArticles loop instead of SubSections to get around this.
