[TYPO3] Using tt_news to display the latest item dynamically

[Michiel de Vries]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your help. I have another wish... I'd like to show a number
of news items dynamically, e.g. the last one, the one but last, etc.

I'm using this to create a slideshow of the latest news items in the
sportshall of my badminton club.

Would you know a way to achieve this?

Thanks,

Michiel.

Michiel,

I've got several websites using news latest to display a full article  
on a page.

If you're using the news subheader in your template, you'll need to  
increase the TypoScript crop property. Else, change your template to  
use NEWS_CONTENT.

Example TS in using news latest for a full page of display.
-----
plugin.tt_news.latestLimit = 1
plugin.tt_news.displayLatest {
     date_stdWrap.strftime= %m/%d/%Y
     time_stdWrap.strftime= %H:%M
     subheader_stdWrap.crop = 10000 | ...
     subheader_stdWrap.ifEmpty.field = bodytext
     imageCount=100
     caption_stdWrap.if.directReturn >
     caption_stdWrap.wrap = <span class="csc-news-image-caption"> | </ 
span>
     caption_stdWrap.trim=1
     caption_stdWrap.required=1
}
