[TYPO3-english] tt_news on the frontpage

[Martin Kjeldsen]

Thank you, I arrived at almost that same solution minutes prior to your 
post:

Two plugins and two templates: One for the single latest news item and 
one for the following four.

Made sure the very latest news item would not be rendered by both 
plugins by adding the following to setup:

plugin.tt_news {
   excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews = 1
}

This is probably the same as setting StartId to 1, as you suggested?

Thank you for your help.

Regards
Martin Kjeldsen
