Integrations

Flare ships with optional integrations for popular Contao bundles. Each integration activates automatically when the corresponding package is installed — there is nothing to configure. (Internally, the bundle extension loads a service set from config/integrations/*.yaml per detected package.)

Contao News​

Package: contao/news-bundle

The News list type (flare_news) works on tl_news and joins tl_news_archive. It adds a published filter by default — adding your own published filter replaces the default one. The integration also provides reader listeners that populate page metadata and Schema.org JSON-LD for news detail pages.

Contao Calendar​

Package: contao/calendar-bundle

Adds the Events list type (flare_events) for tl_calendar_events, joining tl_calendar as the archive table. Like the News type, it adds a published filter by default. On top of the regular list behavior, the calendar integration provides:

  • An event-aware interactive view (InteractiveEventsView) whose getEntriesGrouped() groups entries by date, expanding multi-day and recurring events onto each date they occur.
  • The Calendar time window filter element (flare_calendar_current) for filtering events by a date range that respects recurring events.
  • Reader page-meta support for event detail pages.

Contao Comments​

Package: contao/comments-bundle

Attaches comments data to reader pages when the list's data container supports comments. The default reader template renders them in its footer block — see Templating / Comments Integration.

Codefog Tags​

Package: codefog/tags-bundle

Adds two filter elements for tag-based filtering:

  • Tags choice (cfg_tags_choice): a choice field of the source field's tags, with single/multiple selection and preselect support.
  • Tags search (cfg_tags_search): a keyword search across tag names.

The integration registers the necessary tl_cfg_tag joins automatically based on the tag manager of the filtered field.

Terminal42 ChangeLanguage / DC_Multilingual​

Packages: terminal42/changelanguage, terminal42/dc_multilingual

Not yet active

This integration (alternate-language reader URLs and a multilingual data container list type, flare_generic_dc_multilingual) exists in the codebase but is currently disabled and under development.
