[TYPO3-ttnews] tt_news: Link to two different LIST plugins from the same page?

[Andrew Plank]

Hi tt_news experts!

I have a site that has two implementations of tt_news; one as a normal 
news article server, the other as a frequently updated "did you know?" 
section. I'm using categories to separate the two different types of 
entries.

However, on the root page of the site, the client wants to have a 
"latest news" box which shows the most recent news article, and a 
"latest did you know" box which shows the latest "did you know?" 
entry... He also wants a "read more" link for each of the entry types... 
also a "see archive" link.

This "see archive" link is where I'm having problems... pid_list is set 
in Typoscript... It's not possible to define two, so if I click the "see 
archive" link for the "did you know"s, it of course goes to the normal 
news list instead of the "did you know" list.

I've tried putting a TS condition in to check which content element is 
currently being processed, and accordingly set a new pid_list, but this 
doesn't work, and I've since found out that it's not possible to 
conditionally check for the uid of the current content element.

Ideally, there would be a "PageId for list display" field on the 
plugin's "other settings" tab, just as there is for the "PageId for 
single news display"

But there isn't :(

Is there a way to do this?
