Browsing the demo in FF 3.0 I had feeling like its done with use of 
ajax. FF 3.0 refresh this site so quickly :)



... back to testing.

I installed tt_news 3.0 on my TYPO3 and it works after 2 little fixes. 
What I needed to do was:

1. Include new static "News settings (tt_news)". The old one was gone.

2. Modify template of LIST view because by default setup.txt of tt_news 
has now:

plugin.tt_news {
displayList {
subheader_stdWrap {
       stripHtml = 1
       crop = 230 | ... | 1
       ifEmpty.field = bodytext

	  # the "more" link is directly appended to the subheader
	  append = TEXT
	  append.data = register:newsMoreLink
	  append.wrap = <span class="news-list-morelink">|</span>
	  # display the "more" link only if the field bodytext contains something
	  append.if.isTrue.field = bodytext

	  outerWrap = <p>|</p>
	}
  }
}


So for a moment I had two "more link".




After this 2 little glitches fixed now everything works great, although 
I did not tested the new features.

Maybe a list of new features would help because I do not even what to to 
test : ). Of course I can notice "News Admin", but for sure there is 
some more new features.


Thanks Rupert!
