[TYPO3-ttnews] Hide related news / links if none available

[Oliver Rowlands]

Hi Kimmo,

It looks like your problem is coming from the fact that you have added a 
wrap to 'plugin.tt_news.getRelatedCObject'.

In your source code I can see that the related news article entries are 
wrapped by:

<table class="contenttable"><tr><td>|</td></tr></table>

This is actually invalid (X)HTML since this table is actually wrapped 
inside a <dl>.

As a starting point I would recommend that you insure that the HTML you 
are outputting through the tt_news templates and your TS is actually valid.

To do so you can use the W3C validator [http://validator.w3.org/] or the 
far more convenient Web Developers Toolbar in Firefox 
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/60/].

By default tt_news does not display the related news

<dl class="news-single-related">|</dl>

block if no news articles have been set in the 'Related news' field, so 
the problem must be coming from your custom TS.

Good luck,

Oliver
