[TYPO3-ttnews] linking related news items

[Oliver Rowlands]

Hi Nagita,

If I understand you correctly the related news article titles are 
appearing but they are not being linked, is that the case?

Your TS looks fine. My guess is that there must be a problem with your 
{$uid.singlePage} constant.

Have a look in the TS object browser in the 'Constants' mode to see if 
your {$uid.singlePage} constant to make sure it has been set correclty.

Otherwise you could try commenting out this local TS setup, set 
tt_news's default {$plugin.tt_news.singlePid} constant, clear the cache 
and see if it works.

Let me know how you get on,

Oliver
