Hi tt_news experts!

I have a site that has two implementations of tt_news; one as a normal
news article server, the other as a frequently updated "did you know?"
section. I'm using categories to separate the two different types of
entries.

However, on the root page of the site, the client wants to have a
"latest news" box which shows the most recent news article, and a
"latest did you know" box which shows the latest "did you know?"
entry... He also wants a "read more" link for each of the entry types...
also a "see archive" link.

This "see archive" link is where I'm having problems... pid_list is set
in Typoscript... It's not possible to define two, so if I click the "see
archive" link for the "did you know"s, it of course goes to the normal
news list instead of the "did you know" list.

I've tried putting a TS condition in to check which content element is
currently being processed, and accordingly set a new pid_list, but this
doesn't work, and I've since found out that it's not possible to
conditionally check for the uid of the current content element.

Ideally, there would be a "PageId for list display" field on the
plugin's "other settings" tab, just as there is for the "PageId for
single news display"

But there isn't

Is there a way to do this?

Hi Andrew,

I use tscobj plugin and insert tt_news as raw TypoScript code.
It helps you have complete different TypoScript setup for both news lists.
