tt_news No categories when creating news - typo3

When I create a new article in the News administration of tt_news in Typo3 6.2, I am not able to select any categories in the "Options" window of the news, as there are none listed. But I have categories created and I can assign already existing new to categories, if I select it in the "Items" window of the category itself.
In image 1 you can see there are no categories listed, when creating or editing news entries, although there are some.
When I try to assign news to a category in the list module (opening the category and assigning a news item to it via "Items" section) it works, as you can see in image 2.
I have looked up if I need to specify for tt_news where the categories are stored, but I have not been able to find anything and I cannot remember doing so in the past (for other pages). Did I miss anything?

Did you figure it out ...?
To me it looks like you confused the tt_news categories, they would not show in the tab in image 1 ...
You'd edit this selecting the folder where your news is stored, selecting the article you'd like to assign to a category and then the 'Categories & Relations' tab ...

There is no out-of-the box solution for this.
But you can use the following :
Or create your own extension where you gather the categories of your page and render them on your page. You then can also create a sort of category menu.
You can use category collection :
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/CoreApiReference/ApiOverview/Categories/Index.html
cObject RECORDS has also a categories property, so you could also use typoscript for rendering.
For this purpose you can use extensions to your website.
Catalogue extension package
Which relates to categorisers and if you want to you can customize it in your own manner.
Use of these extensions make simple in listing category.
The usage is also given in its manual ans its simple to adopt it.

How to link tt_news H1 title to the news itself?

For the SEO reason, I have to link the news title in single view to the news itself. When I try this by ###LINK_ITEM### marker it links to the (return-page) I've chosen in flexforms to return.
How should I link that title to the page itself, it also can be used as PERMALINK the other systems like wordpress have.
You can extend tt_news with new marker.
create the extension with the kickstarter or just create empty one (extend tt_news table if
necessary)
create hook-objects and register for the hook "extraItemMarkerProcessor"
create the marker and content within that hook and assign value of current url $url=t3lib_div::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_REQUEST_URL');

Add sort by category in product listing Magento

I've tried to find a possible solution for this but without any result I need to display a sort by category field in the default Magento toolbar in product listing page. Does anyone know how to add this feature without messing up my core files?
What you looking for is something Magento calls Layered Navigation.
First you must make a parant category Apparel and one (ore more) child categories, for example:
- shirts
- shoes
- hoodies
Then for all the child categories go to the admin back-end and navigate to:
Catalog -> Manage Categories -> Display settings.
Now make sure you set the field "Is Anchor" to yes.
Apply this setting for all the children categories.
After these steps your front-end product-listing should look like:
http://demo.magentocommerce.com/catalog/category/view/s/apparel/id/18/
At the left sidebar you can see the categories that are children of the parent category Apparel. Of course you can use your own names for the diffrent categories.
Cheers.

tt_news: List of categors with link

I have a LIST VIEW in tt_news. I want to display a list of all the categories each entry belongs to, like this:
"TITLE OF NEWS
Sports, Travel, Photos"
so that each category name links to the view of all news from that category, like the CATMENU.
How could I do it? Im using genericmarkers for tt_news to add custom objects
Use the extraItemMarkerProcessor we were talking about before and insert new marker ie. ###ITEM_CATEGORIES###. Then you can use some kind of loop for every category to build link with and pass it to the marker as a list of coma-separated links:
$pObj->cObj->typolink($catName, $catLinkConfArray);
Building links with typolink is documented in TSref
