[TYPO3] Path to files in TT_news

[Stephen Bungert]

All I see in the backend by the file or image fields is the name of the
file, an icon for it's file type, and a prieview (in the case of images).

In the database, all you see is the filename and file extension. If I make
an extension that lists files attached to articles, how can I find out where
it is exactly from just the file name/extension? Or must everything then be
uploaded in a particular folder? So that I can hardcode the files path in
the extension?

I suppose you are thinking about for instance pdf-files. It may depends of 
you are using DAM with dam_ttnews or not and how you are uploading it. But 
standard is uploads/media. But you should see the link in the frontend. If 
you don't there are something wrong.

You find the configuration in tt_news/pi/static/ts_new/setup.txt. I suppose 
you also need to see in the php-files to get all details.

But I haven't had any close look yet.
