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

Hi Georg,

thanks for all the wishes and HNY to you as well :).

Hm - then I shall have to ask directly: What would be the most optimal 
solution to my problem? :)

I see. Well, I would like to do in tx_news the following (analogy from 
tt_news):

plugin.tt_news.pid_list = X

In tx_news, I guess I should set something like 
plugin.tx_news.settings.pid_list. However, looking through TS Object 
Browser or checking out 
typo3conf\ext\news\Configuration\TypoScript\setup.txt, I cannot find a 
proper setting.

(And, as I understand, after I find out what the proper setting is 
named, I should also add it to the .overrideFlexformSettingsIfEmpty array.)

I hope this clarifies my problem a bit :).

Yours,
Žiga
