[TYPO3-ttnews] News categories and permissions

[Tony P]

This question seems to have been answered by Oliver Rowlands in thread 
"[TYPO3-ttnews] tt_news category question", quoted below:

- Force the selection of at least one category by altering the 
validation of the category field. This can be done by adding the 
following lines to your 'typo3conf/extTables.php' file:

t3lib_div::loadTCA('tt_news');
$TCA['tt_news']['columns']['category']['config']['minitems'] = 1;

Hope this helps,

Oliver
