[TYPO3-ttnews] tx_news - detail from news or pid

[Jan Slusarczyk]

Hi,
I have the following problem I cannot solve on my own, any help will be 
appreciated.

Typo3 6.2.4, news 3.0.1.

1. I have 5 pages with separate news structures - sysfolder, list and 
detail pages under common umbrella page. They all are operated by 
separate editors and are displayed as a simple blog-like instance. At 
the moment they share common basic categories (like 
"tips","observations" etc).

2. I need to add a common list to the umbrella page with all items from 
each of the subpages (this is easy) but retaining links to separate 
detail pages (because of this all "blog-like" customizations in display 
of each instance, urls and disqus comments etc).

One solution that comes to mind is to use separate categories for each 
"blog" and to get detail page id from category. Is it possible to 
predefine category in each blog so that my editors wouldn't forget to 
assign one or preferably wouldn't be able to remove it from their posts?

Another solution would be to have a detail page defined by news element, 
or by news pid. Is this possible at all?

Regards
Jan
