[TYPO3-ttnews] 2 Questions: Empty Lines & Default plugin configuration

[Žiga Dolhar]

Dear List & Georg,

I have two questions. I am using tt_news on two projects already. 
Considering the state of continuing development, I decided to use 
Georg's "news" (1.3.1) for the third hobby project I am doing.

1. I set up the list display plugin and 1 news item. In the frontend 
output, I get lots of empty lines (<p class="bodytext">&nbsp;</p>). See 
example output at the end of this mail. Is it a bug or "did I do 
something wrong"?

2. Georg, I really miss option to pre-define almost all aspects 
(settings) of news plugin generally, site-wide in the root template 
(think plugin.tt_news root and child [displayList, displaySingle ...] 
properties in tt_news).

Checking the plugin.tx_news.settings properties in object browser, I see 
that I can address many settings - but not all. Particularly, I really 
miss option to define "startingpoint" (PID). This seems a bit odd?


I'd love your response on these two issues.

Yours,
Žiga Dolhar

p.s.: Happy new year.
