[TYPO3-ttnews] tt_news - quo vadis? (Workspace preview, versioning)

[Robert Wildling]

Henrik,

On Forge, there is new2, which intends to integrate all features of 
tt_news 3 on the basis of extBase and fluid. Check this list - not too 
long ago (3 weeks?), there was a very vivid discussion about news2 going 
on. You should read up on it and also get a look into fluid and how to 
handle layouts...

The ext is not yet finished, so a testing feedback also from your side 
would surely be very welcome.

Furthermore, the situation that you describe, has also been discussed 
here. Please dig a little deeper in time to find them. And to be more 
able to help you, please post some more detailed info as to which 
version of TYPO3 you are using.

We all had our times with tt_news, and one got more desperate over it 
than others, but I guess nobody is willing to just critisize this ext, 
because it is really just ONE GREAT powerful ext that also comes along 
with a very good manual and - of course - which also demands one's 
skills to handle it.

In case you didn't work with the ext yet, spend some more time with it 
and you will find out the flexibilities you have with it.

One thing that many peple seem to forget when it comes to multilanguage 
sites: after having installed an ext like tt_news, ALWAYS update your 
TYPO3 language configuration in the language settings. Otherwise the 
language files only support English, and many people wonder, why such 
things like "read more" won't translate properly, even though they have 
defined languages by TypoScript.

Good luck!
Robert
