typo3 tt_news检索模板中的类别ID

Question

Im stuck with a problem and hope you can help me out. I am using tt_news and I need to retrieve the ID of the category directly in the LATEST view. ###NEWS_CATEGORY### gives me the name of the category, but I need the corresponding ID. Is this possible?

Thank you

Answer 1

I helped myself and used generic markers if anyone needs it:

plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers {
  catid = RECORDS
  catid {
    tables = tt_news_cat
    source.data = register:newsCategoryUid

    conf.tt_news_cat  = TEXT
    conf.tt_news_cat.field = uid
  }
}

Answer 2

It should be enough to pass the register like this:

plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers {
    CATID = TEXT
    CATID {
        value = {register:newsCategoryUid}
        insertData = 1
    }
}
