[TYPO3-english] possible to render tt_news content (with resized images) in PHP?

[Erich Specht]

Hello.   Thanks to the help of this user group, I am now able to use a USER
method on a class to gather up the info provided in a flexible content
element.

 

I have an FCE that allow a user to add an event, with a title, date, and
list of related news.  Where I'm running into problems is I'm trying to
render the news items in typoscript and the event content as a USER
function.  Is there a way to create an instance of a tt_news plugin to
display a LIST of news with images resizing as usual - all within a USER php
function?  I'm trying to avoid passing content objects back and forth
between typoscript and PHP and also to be able to better synchronize what
appears next to each news item.


Thanks for any suggestions.
