Search this list or the english list. I think I have given an answer at this 
before (it's on this list). Single and latest/list on same page.

The TS to get the single show the latest news is on page 61, Default news id.

Of course you can use the extensions, personaly I try to do it with pure 
TS if I can. Both these aren't using xclass, but hooks, so they shouldn't 
make to much trouble when upgrading.

The TS listStartId is correct, but is deprecated. The correct TS is excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews 
= 1. But I have some problem with them working together with list and single 
on same page.

Michael. I suppose you are using the news plugin as a content element. An 
advice is to try to configure the news elements as pure TS. A bit more complicated, 
but it gives much more oportunity to finetune the behavior off tt_news.
