[TYPO3] TS for specific [news, or other] content elements / grabbing data from tt_news content elements? [resolved]

[Kathryn Blair]

Hi Tyler,

Sorry, I think it does work. I did try it before, and I thought it didn't
work (which is why I said that), but I tried it just NOW and it looks like
it did work, so thanks a lot and I'm sorry I was confused about what was
going on. The TS with annotation was EXTREMELY helpful. 

Thanks a lot -- I'm going to fiddle with it some more and make sure I fully
understand how it works. 

Thanks a lot,

Kathryn Blair

Hi

How do you know that's not what you need? Did you try it?

They are not the same - my way lets you pull out one specific content 
item (the one your editors can chnage things on) and then also tweak the 
tt_news rendering for that one item alone!

# pull out the content
dates.60=CONTENT
dates.60.table = tt_content
dates.60.select.pidInList=879
dates.60.select.uidInList=1316
dates.60.select.wrap = <div class="important-dates-employers"> | </div>


	# define the rendering for this news item
	# ( this will then use the defualt rendering for news and the
settings 
from the individual extension instance )
dates.60.renderObj =< plugin.tt_news


	# redefine the rendering template for this one item only (in this
area 
we can then start to over-ride the default setting)
	#so if we wanted this one instance of the news item to always use 
sub-catagories no matter any setting we could force that here
dates.60.renderObj.templateFile = 
fileadmin/Arts_Co-op/templates/news_templates/arts-co-op-headlines.tmpl
dates.60.renderObj.useSubCategories=1

I could be wrong about this working but I can't see a reason it wouldn't 
work.
