[TYPO3-ttnews] tt_news and typo3 6.1

[jaco graaff]

Yes - you are right

-------------------------------------------------

tt_news used an add-on - an extension to tt_news: "xw_ttnewslatestsingle" 
developed by Christian Juerges
to get the behaviour.

I will have to stick with tx_news or try and fix tt_news incompatible 
extensions

----------------------------------------------

but I am not as good a developer as Georg - more a conceptual guy
- so I will not try and mess with his code if I do not have a LOT of time -

I am an implementer/user of Typo3 websites - not a developer of extensions

I appreciate Georg's work - really great development - and appreciate that 
he cannot cater for any scenario

Knowing Georg I believe that he is truly sorry that it doesn't work for
you, but that it is a bit hard to keep track of the things you tried and
the problems you found in a long list of progress updates.

It's very important to have an overview of what you want to achieve.
Maybe you can make some schematics that show what should be visible on a
page and how you want to navigate between pages.
I'm sure Georg or others will try to see how that can be achieved.

There is a feature request in forge, but it is technically impossible to
solve that in a correct way. tt_news doesn't have a proper
implementation either. Your visitor comes from a list view with all
kinds of settings to determine which items to show, in which order, etc.
Navigation in the detail view should know about these settings too, but
this not trivial (and maybe not possible at all).
