Getting named anchors to work in TYPO3, tt_news

---

This is one that's evaded me for so long. Getting named anchors to work in my tt_news articles was a feature I've wanted on my TYPO3 websites, but it was something I had always assumed would require a lot of hacking as I thought named anchors were only available for stuff created on regular TYPO3 pages.

Well, basically, if you want to have named anchors working in your tt_news articles, you probably just need to paste the following into the setup section of your site template:

That's what works for me. Before I pasted that into my typoscript template, I could create anchors in the RTE content of my tt_news articles, but when the news record was called in the front end, the anchors would just be appended to the baseurl of my site like this:

When the anchor was really supposed to be appended to the actual url of my news article like this:

Without going into a whole lot of detail, adding the typoscript I wrote above fixes the problem. Now I can copy and paste stuff I created with Openoffice & Zotero on my Ubuntu laptop and have it appear on my website with full HTML anchor support.
