[TYPO3-english] realURL, tt_news: strange value_alias

[Christian Zenker]

Hi.

This is known to happen, when the title of the news is left blank when  
first saving.
Just force your editors to fill the title via TCA (or maybe TSconfig - I'm  
not sure if this property is supported).
Additionally you can delete the faulty realurl alias either via the  
Info-Module or on the database level.

Hope this solves your problem.

Christian.
