You can not believe how long ive been looking for something like this. Browsed through 8 pages of Yahoo results and couldnt find anything. Very first page on Bing. There this is…. Really have to start using it more often!

Thanks for the tip. I have tried using this on my news and notices and works fine in the default language. However - upon Localization into another language - tt_news keeps default language breadcrumbs and titles. I’m a typoscript noob and was wondering if anything needs to be changed here to support multiple languages.

Thanks

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.

sorry, the correct code is :

lib.newstitle=RECORDS
