Remove Action & Controller from url - EXT:news & RealURL - typo3

Question

I'm having trouble removing /news/story/ from my URL's when using ext:news and real url.
What I'd like is:
www.mysite.com/en/news/this-is-my-story-title
And not:
www.mysite.com/en/news/story/this-is-my-story-title
Current page structure:
-root(1)
--Home (2)
--News (3)
---Story (4)
This is my manual realurl conf:
<?php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['addRootLineFields'] .= ',tx_realurl_pathsegment';
$domain = 'mysite.com';
$rootPageUid = 1;
$rssFeedPageType = 9818; // pageType of your RSS feed page
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['realurl'][$domain] = [

Using TYPO3 v8.7.15,RealURL 2.3 and News v7.0.4
RealUrl is set to use my manual conf file also.
Thanks again T3 community

Answer 1

realUrl Provide pretty nice option to exclude a page from URL segment. For that go to Page-> property->General. You will find an option Exclude from speaking URL check this Screenshot.
In your case go to story page and exclude this from URL
-root(1)
--Home (2)
--News (3)
---Story (4) // Exclude from realUrl
That's it, this what you're actually looking for!
