tt_news - where is the register "newsMoreLink" be defined? - function

Question

The extension tt_news is very useful for me but there is this little thingy called "register:newsMoreLink". This register does contain the singlePid of the contentelement (defined a single view page) and the uid of the newsarticle from the news extension.
This is the typoscript section of the "new ts" of the extension tt_news
As you can see there is "append.data = register:newsMoreLink"...
plugin.tt_news {
displayLatest {
subheader_stdWrap {
# the "more" link is directly appended to the subheader
append = TEXT
append.data = register:newsMoreLink
append.wrap = <span class="news-list-morelink">|</span>
# display the "more" link only if the field bodytext contains something
append.if.isTrue.field = bodytext
outerWrap = <p>|</p>
}
}
}
What is "register:newsMoreLink"? Is this like a function or something? I do not know. But "register:newsMoreLink" produces a strange link if I use this on "append.data". It produces are "More >" link. The "More >" link after a news article teaser looks like this:
http://192.168.1.29/website/index.php?id=474&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=24&cHash=95d80a09fb9cbade7e934cda5e14e00a
474 is the "singlePid" (this is what it calls in the database
24 is the "uid" of the news article (the ones you create with the tt_news plugin in the backend)
My question is: Where is the "register:newsMoreLink" defined? Is it defined generally or do I miss a fact of Typo3..? How can I add an anchor link at the end of this "More >" href? Like:
http://192.168.1.29/website/index.php?id=474&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=24&cHash=95d80a09fb9cbade7e934cda5e14e00a#myAnchor1

Answer 1

register:newsMoreLink is not a function. It's one of the data types. In other words a type of data that you can access with stdWrap.data. register is set with LOAD_REGISTER. Though, in case of tt_news this is set in the PHP code with $this->local_cObj->LOAD_REGISTER().
I'm afraid you cannot easily add an anchor to that link. However, you can set the append to create your own custom link to the news record using typolink:
append = TEXT
append {
value = text of the link
typolink {
# ...typolink configuration...
}
}
You shall be interested in the typolink's attributes parameter, additionalParams and section.

Answer 2

this is the code I use to link to an pid with a anchor target:
displayList.plugin.tt_news.subheader_stdWrap {
append = TEXT
append.data >
append {
value = mehr
typolink{
parameter = 47 // pid
section = entry_{field:uid} // anchor name
section.insertData = 1
}
}
