Praised in a way that no longer rang out (8)

I believe the answer is:

extolled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'praised in a way that' is the definition.
'extolled' can be an answer for 'praised' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the rest of the definition.

'no longer rang out' is the wordplay.
'no longer' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'rang out' becomes 'tolled' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ex'+'tolled'='EXTOLLED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for extolled that I've seen before include "Sang the praises of" , "Praised highly, lauded" , "Exalted" , "Enthusiastically praised" , "Glorified, lauded" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
