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.

Hey Michiel.

As I told you over PM, quite simple:

GIFBUILDER.TEXT.text = blabla

works. .text here has a stdWrap feature included. However, the lib.newstitle is a separate CObject (it’s a COA), not a stdWrap. BUT stdWrap allows you to fill the stdWrap content with a cObject. Do this.

GIFBUILDER.TEXT.text.cObject < lib.newstitle

Hi Benni,

I can use the lib in all kind of places. The place I want to use it in however, I cannot get it to work. I would like to use the value in a graphical header image.

So it needs to be injected in ag GIFBUILDER TEXT object. And the object accepts lots of stuff, except the lib.newstitle.

Hi, I just found your tip in the mailing list, it’s very nice ;
by the way I think you forgot one line of code in this web page, e.g. this one :

lib.breadcrumbs.20 = RECORDS

Chris
