[TYPO3-english] News system (ext: news) previous-next pagination for detailed view

Developer's thoughts are mostly same :)
I've once developed an extension (not based on tt_news, but custom one), 
which also had list and single view, and it was required to have prev-next 
navigation in single view. Moreover, on of list views was search result. And 
there were more, than one list on a page. So, I also solved this by storing 
list of uids in a session, but they were bound not to page id (since, we 
could have more, than one list on a page), but to uid of content element, 
which renders a list.

But, yes, this solution had the same problem - if session expires, no more 
prev-next navigation for a single view. And one additional problem: if 
plugin was inserted via TS (not like normal CE), then it was not possible to 
get the uid of CE to bound the uid list, so also no previous-next 
navigations for a single view of such lists. But it has an advantage as 
well: since you have uid of list CE in your single view, you can get all the 
settings of that CE, if needed.

So, talking about the subject, such a solution may be a temporary, since it 
will not work in all the cases, but it is quite quick.
