How could it be? TYPO3 loosing from WordPress which I stopped using fervently after discovering the power of TYPO3… I felt abandoned, a little betrayed actually…

And now it happens to me again. Why? Yesterday I saw a movie on youtube about a guy installing a WordPress site, with a unique theme and… a shop in less than 5 minutes. He even had a product in and added a payment solution in that time… And now… Now I just upgraded to the newest version of WordPress fully automatically…

I think I need to start looking if Users/Permissions/Roles and localization have been improved as dramatically as this…

Should I consider trading TYPO3 for WP?

I have come to love the TYPO3 way of things, the power, the community, the friends in freelance collegeaus that I met… So should I? Or should I not?

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.
