News Component
Class Name
The News Component is implemented by the class
org.onehippo.cms7.essentials.components.EssentialsNewsComponent
Purpose
The News component is a specialization of the List component. Similar to the Events component, it provides you with the option to specify a query filter indicating that all future news items should be hidden, allowing CMS users to prepare (but not yet show) new news items. This component uses a date granularity of days, meaning that new news items will become available when a new day has started.
Component Parameters
| Name | Description |
| hideFutureItems | Flag indicating if future items should be hidden or not. By default, they are hidden. |
| documentDateField | Name of the attribute of the repository node representing the news document, which holds document's date value. This parameter is only considered if hiding of future items is turned on. |
See also the inherited component parameters of the List Component.
The News component is part of the News feature available in the Essentials Library. The News feature also includes a News Item document type, and a News List channel manager component.

Field that contains document date (for hiding): myhippoproject:date
News Document types (comma separated): myhippoproject:newsdocument
