Setup

To activate the kotti_newsitem add-on in your Kotti site, you need to add an entry to the kotti.configurators setting in your Paste Deploy config. If you don’t have a kotti.configurators option, add one. The line in your [app:main] (or [app:kotti], depending on how you setup Fanstatic) section could then look like this:

kotti.configurators = kotti_newsitem.kotti_configure

Configuration

If you want the RecentNews widget to show up in your site, you have to add a line like this:

kotti_newsitem.widget.slot = right

The for a list of available slots in a default Kotti site see the kotti.view.slots API docs

To change the default number of news items shown in the widget (5), add a line like this:

kotti_newsitem.widget.num_news = 10
