RealURL is a great plugin. Having clean looking URL's really adds a professional touch. But a problem occurs with the links for pdf_generator2 and make_printlink on pages that contain a tt_news plugin set to SINGLE view: instead of a nice printable page or pdf the message "no news_id given" is shown.

The reason for the no news message is just what it says: no news_id! This problem is the same as backPid in SINGILE view. To correct the backPid problem it is necessary to simply set dontUseBackPid =1 in the tt_news setup. This way the unique backPid will be available. To correct the problem with the pdf and print links the variables tx_ttnews[tt_news] and tx_ttnews[sViewPointer] must be in the URL.

The code example at the bottom of the page does the following:

• If the page does NOT have tt_news set to SINGLE view it will leave the link alone and let realURL make it pretty.
• If the page is a tt_news page set to SINGLE view it will add the tx_ttnews[tt_news] variable to the URL as well as the correct page type.
• If tt_news is configured to show news items over multiple pages it will get the tx_ttnews[sViewPointer] and no_cache. The no_cache is important because otherwise we would only see the first cached version of the article.

_{Note: For sone reason the TS setting "no_cache = 1" does not get added to the Typolink. This is why there is the constant "cc=&no_cache = 1".}
