[TYPO3-english] Is it possible to set a default category in "News System" (ext:news) ?

[Christian Richter]

Hi Everybody,

I'm implementing the news-extension from Georg Ringer and have some trouble optimizing the user-experience for the "Editor".
We use the extension to create so called "dates" (Type: External Page) and normal "blogposts" (Type: News).

you can have a look:

blog: http://cayoux.5punkt1.com/index.php?id=3

dates: http://cayoux.5punkt1.com/index.php?id=4

We are categorizing the news as follows:

• blog			(id=1)
	• projekte		(id=2)
	• tour			(id=3)
	• studio			(id=4)
	

• dates			(id=5)
	• festival			(id=6)
	• main act		(id=7)
	• support		(id=8)
	• free!			(id=9)

All  "Blog"-posts are saved in the Sysfolder "blogposts" 	(id=21)
and all "Dates"-posts are saved in Sysfolder "dates" 		(id=22)

What I like to do now is, setting default categories for those two Sysfolders as News-Records are created.

When the editor creates a new record in the Sysfolder "dates"  it should automatically have the category "dates" (id=5) set,
respectively "blog" (id=1) for newly created records in Sysfolder "blogposts" (id=1).

 If I remember correctly, in EXT_tt_news there was a setting-option called "predefined.categories" which did that.

Is there a way to to that in Georg Ringers "News System"?

Thanks in advance, 

Christian
