TYPO3 extension news and realurl

Question

TYPO3 v 7.6.13 News 5.3.1 realurl 2.1.5

I've added the stock realurl configuration for ext:news to my site (manual realurl.conf).

And my URLs are reading as:

www.example.com/news/story/news/detail/News/thisismystorytitle

My page tree:

Root
-News (News - List)
--Story (News - Detail)

My realurl configuration

<?php

                ),
        ),
),
// EXT:news end

      ),
    ),
  ),
);

Grateful if anyone could advise on whats missing or wrong with my setup.

Answer 1

As you configuration

array(
        'GETvar' => 'tx_news_pi1[action]',
),
array(
        'GETvar' => 'tx_news_pi1[controller]',
),

says, the Variables for action and controller are passed thru.

Appending an valueMap and noMatch you can delete them:

array(
        'GETvar' => 'tx_news_pi1[action]',
        'valueMap' => array(),
        'noMatch' => 'bypass'
),
array(
        'GETvar' => 'tx_news_pi1[controller]',
        'valueMap' => array(),
        'noMatch' => 'bypass'
),

Please be aware that this remove these arguments, on pages where the detail action is not default the news details can not be displayed.
