[TYPO3-ttnews] tx_news - no entry for show latest

[jaco graaff]

I read through the documentation again - and the suggestion is definitely to 
use DETAIL VIEW for the detail view - and - leave the "Show a single news 
record" dialogue entry blank (no option for latest by default)

I want 1 page for news and list

The tutorial uses 2 pages

A page with the LIST view

a separate second page with the DETAIL view (It can have a LIST view on 
side)

You have to go to the DETAIL view via the LIST view page

going directly to the DETAIL page throws the error

So I cannot have a NEWS page with the Latest always showing in DETAIL area 
and the LIST on the side.

example

on this site with tt_news I have one compact "general news" page
http://buildinghelp.com.au/general-news/

It shows both the LIST (Displaying: LATEST) and DETAIL view on the same 
page - the DETAIL view is populated with the most current news item 
(Displaying: LATESTSINGLE)

I also like the Navigation on the bottom with the name of previous and next 
ARTICLES/NEWS (tx_news only have BACK by default - meaning - back to your 
list page)

I guess I can replicate this with clever typoscript

Hi Georg - thanks for your work on this - I decided last time to stick with
tt_news - but have made a fresh start with 6.1 with the aim to move this
site on to 6.2 LTS, and also use your tx_news instead.
steps I go through:

1. Place the News System plugin in column A with the purpose to be the
Detail View
2. On Settings tab: What to display: Detail View
3. On Settings Tab: Show a single news record () - now I have to
"hardcode"/select a news item - but I always want the  latest to show here

I think this is my mistake - I misunderstand the wording/semantics - Because
I want to show a LIST view on the side and DETAIL view in the centre - I
chose the DETAIL VIEW option -

But it seems DETAIL VIEW behaves by default like a STATIC VIEW until you
select a news item on the LIST on side. I do not have the option in DETAIL
VIEW to select LATEST and if I do not select anything - it throws the error
until I click on an item in the LIST view

what I need to do is configure both as LIST VIEW and limit my DETAIL-LIST
view to show only 1 record - LAST EDITED - and then the Second LIST VIEW -
that is actually the list view - to show x-amount.

This works - the detail-list view item does not show up on the list-view as
expected - and the Latest shows on the news page

So the answer for me is to place 2 LIST-VIEWS on the same page.

I got confused with the semantics.

Thanks again Georg

Hi,

I can't reproduce that, really sorry. Which TYPO3 version are you using?

ok

so you just use the detail view without "show a single news record" and
in the side a list view. latest is the same as list, there is IMO also
no difference in tt_news except a different template.

It is important to use the view "List view (without overloading detail
view)" for the list view as otherwise you would have got 2 detail views
on the same page.

this is a bit tricky as detail view needs to be *rendered* before the
list view
