I'm using TYPO3 7.6 with the latest tx_news release from TER.
I want to show two news plugins at one page: one is configured to show all news from storage folder "A"; the other one is configured to show only the latest record from storage folder "B".
Now, once the first plugin paginates, the second one renders empty content since it tries to paginate as well (which doesn't make sense since it should display only the latest record).
So, my question is: How can I separate the pagination between both plugins?
In TYPO3 7.6 there is no solution to your issue, sorry. Workarounds include adding manual pagination for the second plugin or overriding the second widget with one that forces a different ID.
In TYPO3 8.6+ you can override the ID of each widget which causes the URL scope to change so you can isolate parameters for each widget. More information can be found on https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/8.7/Changelog/8.6/Feature-47006-ExtendTheWidgetIdentifierWithCustomString.html
I tweaked the fluid template to totally avoid the pagination in this case (based on "settings.templateLayout"
In the meantime (I don't know whether it was in place three years ago) there is an option Hide the pagination in the news plugin. You will find it in the tab Additional.
So if you place more than one list view on one page, you can disable pagination for all lists, which should not get paginated.

I am working on a TYPO3 v10 LTS website with integration of the news extension v8.3.0. Many news are assigned to multiple categories and they are displayed on different detail pages according to their assigned categories. Now I would like to define one categories as master and use this category for the generation of canonical links to avoid duplicate content problems. On an older version of the website (TYPO3 v7 LTS) I used the solution explained here: https://www.typo3.net/forum/thematik/zeige/thema/116056/
I'm not so experienced with TYPO3 v9/v10 LTS yet, but I think that there must be a solution with routeEnhancers.
Any hints are welcome.
You need no route enhancer, just use the basic configuration of EXT:news.
one solution would be: for detail-view (show) always use one page. in this way each news will have a unique url. (problem: you can't ´return´ to the former list view with a hard link[1], as you don't know from which list you came)
2nd: configure a show-page with your news-categories: this page will be preferred for detail view (it always will be the first category) and each news will always be shown on this category detail page. (no ´return´ to the original list as above)
[1] you can't use a page as link target, but you can use javascript:history.back()
I have a page with multiple news plugins. Each plugin should only render news list and single view for a given category. This is accomplished via "Single-view page for news from this category" and the TyposScript setting detailPidDetermination. Furthermore I have plugins with "List of selected items". This all works fine.
Now my problem: I have no clue how that could happen, but Google has now some news twice in the index. Once with the correct path to the single view and once with the path to any other plugin. This leads to duplicate content problems.
So it seems that any news plugin can render the single view for any record. Is there any way to prevent that? Especially when I use the plugin with "List of selected items", I expect it to render list and single view only for those selected records.
TYPO3 8.7
EXT:news 7.3.1
The only optional check is currently for the storage pid which can be enabled with settings.detail.checkPidOfNewsRecord = 1.
If you need further checks you need to use the signalSlot detailAction. However it will be very hard to know on the detail page if this news record is allowed or not as the detail view knows nothing from the list plugin.
I'm struggling with a strange behavior.
I use News 8.3.0 and TYPO3 9.5.18. It is a TYPO3 instance with many micro-sites and its own news, which can also be displayed on other pages, depending on the category.
This works for a while but at some point (a few days) no more news are displayed. (List / detail) If I clear all cache it works again. Is such behavior known? Or do you have a hint for troubleshooting?
The extension eventnews is also used and on the page, the plugin is available twice with the action News-> list. Maybe multiple use of the action on the same site is the problem.
Both list-views use the widget n:widget.paginate
on TYPO3 with the tt_news extension, my contributors would like to previews news before publishing ; Problem : impossible to get a preview if the news is hidden. Our website is big and we can't display the news before to finish it, even for preview for a few seconds.
According to this documentation :
If a preview of hidden records needs to be allowed too, the checkbox
“Allow hidden records” needs to be checked in the plugin.
No way to find this checkbox.
Do you have any solution ?
According to the tt_news documentation, you have to set the following Page TSconfig:
tx_ttnews.singlePid = 37
where 37 is the UID of the page containing the single view plugin.
Apparently this functionality is currently broken:
https://forge.typo3.org/issues/67304
https://forge.typo3.org/issues/75768
The second issue on forge.typo3.org provides a possible solution which should work in general with all records of any extension (TYPO3 v7 and above!). Again, Page TSconfig (no TypoScript):
TCEMAIN.preview {
tt_news {
previewPageId = 37
useDefaultLanguageRecord = 0
fieldToParameterMap {
uid = tx_ttnews[tt_news]
}
}
}
I successfully tested this in TYPO3 v7. One major drawback – as already noted in your question – is that this does not work with hidden records.
Previewing hidden records result in the error message
no news_id given
Edit: As Bernd suggested, you could make use of categories to hide drafts of news records and use the preview solution above:
If you already use news categories: Set the category mode in the list view plugin(s) of tt_news to hide news records which do not own the desired categories. Let the editors assign the categories only if the content is ready.
Otherwise: use a new category preview – as Bernd suggested – and hide records with this category in the list view plugin.
The latter is a bit more risky to use for editors, as they could forget to set this temporary category. Nonetheless, you as an integrator could use the TSconfig TCAdefaults to automatically assign this preview category to all new records. The editors would only have to remove the category when the news record is completed.
Another possible workaround could be to save drafts in a separate folder which is not used by the list view plugin of tt_news. Then you also could use the preview solution above.
If that's not the right way of working for you or your editors, you could try using the workspaces extension which ships with the TYPO3 core.
a clean solution would be the usage of workspaces. but not all extension support it.
so another option would be to simulate workspaces:
build a page where your news can be seen and secure it with a login. so if only the new records should be shown you might create a 'preview' category, which is shown only on the special preview page.
I am using the news plugin to simulate the classic page content elements but with previews. Now I would like to be able to manually set the order of the articles just as I would in the page module for the standard elements. But there seems to be no such option in the list module. How would I achieve such functionality?
There is an extension that adds a sorting field to tt_news so you can order the news entries in the list view. It has not been maintained for quite some time, but since it works on TCA and FlexForm level, it should still work with never versions. Check it out:
