[TYPO3-ttnews] Displaying Category before a block

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

its typically - after i postet my problem, i got an idea, and the best: it 
works :)

I made a COA for each block, so I got stdWrap-Function. No my Solution is 
like that:


temp.newsblocks = COA
temps.newsblocks {
10 = COA
 10 {
  stdWrap.required = 1
  stdWrap.wrap = <h2>Tisch &amp; Kultur</h2>|
  10 < plugin.tt_news
  10 {
   templateFile = fileadmin/templates/news_test.html
   code = LATEST
   limit = 4
   singlePid  = 30
   pid_list=24
   categoryMode = 1
   categorySelection = 1
  }
 }

 20 = COA
 20 {
  stdWrap.required = 1
  stdWrap.wrap = <h2>Kochen mit Küchenchef Lutz Philipp</h2>|
  10 < plugin.tt_news
  10 {
   templateFile = fileadmin/templates/news_test.html
   code = LATEST
   limit = 4
   singlePid  = 30
   pid_list=24
   categoryMode = 1
   categorySelection = 2
  }
 }
...

for making the Blocks empty if there are no news, i made it with
plugin.tt_news.noNewsToListMsg_stdWrap.if.equals = Hallo Du

anyway, may be there is a more simple solution ?
