tt_news - Force plugin to start at a particular id

Question

In earlier versions of the tt_news plugin there was some configuration in the flex form which allowed you to force a start id for the plugin.

In newer versions this is not possible. I haven't had a problem with this so far however I now want to have three plugins on the page. A latest and two lists.

The Latest and first list plugin will be linked and rotate through the 4 latest articles using the jquery cycle plugin.

However further down the page I have more news where I want to show article 5-12. Because I have already used plugin.tt_news{excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews = 0} so that I could rotate the top two plugins

The third plugin (second list is showing article 1-8 but I need it to show 5-12). Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get around this problem? I have considered IFraming 5-12 from a blank page which would work but obviously wouldn't be the ideal solution.

Answer 1

You can substitute this option with the extension ttnews_selectconf . Check the TypoScript options : The " begin " and " max " parameters should be the right choice:

plugin.tt_news {
  extensions {
    ttnews_selectconf {
      begin = 5
      max = 7
    }
  }
}
