Hey Ant,

to get a parameter from the URL, you should look into the “getData” information in the TSref.

Basically, you could do a

lib.myvar = TEXT
lib.myvar.value = Link to a detailed news page
lib.myvar.typolink.parameter = 13 (or whatever your newsdetail page is)
lib.myvar.typolink.additionalParams = &tt_news[tt_news]={GPvar:tt_news|tt_news}
lib.myvar.typolink.additionalParams.insertData = 1

Well, if you want something even smoother, check out the typoscript. object in TSref. There should be something like typolink.addQueryParams = 1 that automatically adds all $GET parameters from the current URL.

Hey Antonio,

yeah, possible, but then I’d suggest looking into the CONTENT object, with the select. TypoScript object, you can do a DB query with a JOIN (with the tt_news_category, the MM table and the tt_news table). Don’t know it from the top of my head, but it’s quite straightforward, I use a similar approach (tt_address and tt_addressgroups) for a couple of my sites.

along these same lines, do you know of a way to extract the parameters from a URL, from within Typoscript? I.e. if I link from a page that has a tt_news record displayed, can I pass the news id, etc.. from the URL to the linked page?

Kind regards

Comment on When switching from baseURL to absRefPrefix… by ben van 't ende

It would make sense to use the first domain record there is in the website as baseURL. That is the way the ‘original’ RealURL functioned. At this moment ‘baseURL’ has to be set in several places, also in RealURL.

How can I set default value to category field ?
I try to add TSConfig:

# Set default values
TCAdefaults {
tt_news {
category = 1
}
}

But it does not works! Category is empty for new items.
