[TYPO3-ttnews] tt_news title as page title - multiple languages

[adam harvie]

Hi all,
I've been wanting to set the page title of our single-news reader page
to the title of the tt_news item being displayed.
There are a number of places that suggest this solution using RECORDS:

lib.newstitle = RECORDS
lib.newstitle {
    dontCheckPid = 1
    tables = tt_news
    source.data = GPvar:tx_ttnews|tt_news
    conf.tt_news = TEXT
    conf.tt_news.field = title
    conf.tt_news.required = 1
}

Which works fine, but only in the default language  - all other
language versions of the article display the default language's title.
I've been trying to figure out a solution using CONTENT, but I'm not
getting results. Here's the Typoscript setup I'm using:

[globalVar = TSFE:id = 108] #id of our single news page

lib.newstitle = CONTENT
lib.newstitle {
 table = tt_news
  select {
    selectFields = title
    pidInList = 45 #id of our main news list page with the tt_news records
    andWhere.cObject = TEXT
    andWhere.cObject {
      data = GPvar:tx_ttnews|tt_news #tt_news ID from
      wrap = uid=”|”
    }
  }
  renderObj = TEXT
  renderObj.field = title
}
temp.mainTemplate.subparts.PAGETITLE < lib.newstitle.renderObj

[global]

This just renders the normal page title from tt_content. If I try a
different field from the tt_news table, such as 'short', it comes up
blank. I've tried manually entering a tt_news uid in the select, but
it still doesn't seem to find anything. Can anyone give me some advice
on this?

Thanks,
Adam
