[TYPO3] tt_news - AMENU

[Lamb, Brian]

I managed to get it worked out. I used your TypoScript and made a few other changes and it works as expected. Now, the links that are generated look like: "2007: 23 items". 

Is it possible to either
a) Change the display to be "2007" or
b) Wrap the <span> tag around the entire link. Currently, it is only wrapped around 2007.

Hi Brian,

There are some parts of your TS I don't understand:

>       11 = TEXT
>       11 {
>         field = stop
>         strftime = &nbsp;
>       }

What's that supposed to do? What's a &nbsp; entity doing as a  
strftime value?

> This will correctly display the menu. However, when I click on a link,
> it does not show the articles from that year. Any thoughts?

Well what do your links look like? Could you post an example?

If it maybe of any help, here is some TS coming from one of my web  
sites with yearly-archiving mode:

     archiveMode = year
     useHRDates = 1
     archiveTitleCObject.10 {
         if.value.date = Y
         if.equals.data = GPvar:tx_ttnews|year
         strftime = %Y
         wrap = <span class="cw_itemcur">|</span>
     }
     archiveTitleCObject.20 {
         if.value.date = Y
         if.equals.data = GPvar:tx_ttnews|year
         strftime = %Y
     }
     newsAmenuUserFunc >
     amenuWithCatSelector = 1

Note that this represents only the changes from the default TS setup.  
I use human-readable dates because it fits better with RealURL.
