Sometimes I am frustrated with TYPO3. Small things like a blog which are set up so easily using for example WordPress, can take a hell of a time with TYPO3. TimTab in my case.

I couldn’t find a decent way of having linkable tags in my single posts, so I came up with my own: newstags.

It takes the keywords, transforms them into tags that are (optional) linkable to a page with the search plugin for news.

For now: just install, include static templates, and change the constant to the pid where the search plugin is located. Next add the plugin under the tt_news element where you get your single view with and your tags are there.

Make sure you restrict the search plugin from tt_news to only search in keywords. You can achieve this by setting the following in TS Setup:

plugin.tt_news.searchFieldList = keywords

It should be in TER soon, if you want it now, leave a comment.

Update: The extension is now available in TER right here.

If you were frustrated as I was, and this extension is welcome to you, please consider donating a considerable (just kidding) amount of money via paypal.
