Hi,

I agree. The fact that I need to mix TV records and tt_news records
bothered me, too. :-P

Actually, you can.
1. Go to the extension manager, click on tt_news, and change the setting
"Use General record storage page [useStoragePid]" to 0 (uncheck the
checkbox, then click "Update").
2. Create a sysfolder, make it a news-folder (by setting 'contains
plugin'), and put your categories and news there.
3. In your TypoScript-template, insert:
CONSTANTS: const.pages.news = [id of the sysfolder created in step 2]
SETUP: plugin.tt_news.pid_list = {$const.pages.news}
This will work fine as long as you do not have multiple sites in one
TYPO3 installations that shall not see each others categories.
BTW, it's all in the manual. ;)
