[TYPO3-ttnews] 3.0 related news by category

[Rupert Germann]

hi Steffen,

that should work again in tt_news 3.0.0 since a week or so. I reverted
the "split the init functions" changes almost completely because that would
add to much complex side effects like you discoved one.

btw: I'm currently working on the getRelatdNewsByCategory stuff to make it
more customizable ... suggestions ?

greets
rupert
