[TYPO3-ttnews] realurl: simplifying the url

[Claudio Strizzolo]

Hi Dmitry
thanks for your reply.

Almost got it, just I don't understand the 301 stuff: could you please 
explain?

BTW, I have discovered a drawback of setting dontUseBackPid in order to 
make tt_news build nice paths with realurl. It just stays in the manual 
but I hadn't noticed it yet:

  > “dontUseBackPid” will prevent the backPid and all other backPid-
  > related parameters in links from tt_news. The disadvantage of this

  > “plugin.tt_news.backPid”.

This is a problem to me, because I need to return back to different pages 
from SINGLE views, according to the page listing a category or another. 
I'm afraid I'll have to disable dontUseBackPid, although this will create 
again ugly URLs.

Do you mean that I get rid of the whole three "/archive/2009/01/"
levels? This is too much: I'd like to keep the year and the month.

I looked at some documentation including your precious "RealURL made
easy" pages, and tried in several ways but didn't succeed. Last attempts 
were with something like:

'fixedPostVars' => array(
  100 => array {
    'article' => array(
                array(
                  'GETvar' => 'tx_ttnews[tt_news]',
                  'lookUpTable' => array(
                    'table' => 'tt_news',
                    'id_field' => 'uid',
                    'alias_field' => 'title',
                    'addWhereClause' => ' AND NOT deleted',
                    'useUniqueCache' => 1,
                    'useUniqueCache_conf' => array(
                       'strtolower' => 1,
                       'spaceCharacter' => '-',
                    ),
                  ),
                ),
                array(
                  'GETvar' => 'tx_ttnews[swords]',
                ),    
  ),
),

The "article" part disappears, but the title of the news item too.
Any hints?
Greetings
