[TYPO3-ttnews] Displaying Category before a block

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

i tried to realize following with 5 Elements displaying News from a single 
Category, using COA

<h2>Category1</h2>
...
<h2>Category2</h2>
...
etc.

I used TS like this:

#<h2>Tisch &amp; Kultur</h2>
 20 < plugin.tt_news
 20 {
  templateFile = fileadmin/templates/news_test.html
  code = LATEST
  limit = 4
  singlePid  = 30
  pid_list=24
  categoryMode = 1
  categorySelection = 1

 }
 #<h2>Kochen mit Küchenchef Lutz Philipp</h2>
 40 < plugin.tt_news
 40 {
  templateFile = fileadmin/templates/news_test.html
  code = LATEST
  limit = 4
  singlePid  = 30
  pid_list=24
  categoryMode = 1
  categorySelection = 2
 }
...

Now i look for any solution to wrap a block (in my case the 20,40 etc) - I 
looked for any stdWrap-solution to make the wrap denpendend from the content 
of each block, will say : I don't want to display the Heading when no news 
in this category.

I also tried another with the template:

<!-- ###TEMPLATE_LATEST### begin
 This is the template for the latest news, typically displayed on a 
frontpage
-->
<span>###NEWS_CATEGORY###</span>
<ul>
<!-- ###CONTENT### begin
    This is the part of the template substituted with the list of news:
 -->

 <!-- ###NEWS### begin
   Template for a single item
  -->
  <li><em>###NEWS_DATE###::</em><br />
  <!--###LINK_ITEM###-->###NEWS_TITLE###<!--###LINK_ITEM###--><br 
/><span>###NEWS_CATEGORY###</span>
  </li>
  <!-- ###NEWS### end-->
<!-- ###CONTENT###  end -->
</ul>
<!-- ###TEMPLATE_LATEST### end -->

but  ###NEWS_CATEGORY### is not replaced at this position.

Does anybody know a way to solve it ?

Thanks, mg
Steffen
