TYPO3: Single tt_news with ratings and comment on frontpage
There is a TypoScript solution for displaying a single news item on your frontpage, this way you don’t need to use a List of Latest element. But this is not always effective since you are not able to rate or comment this single news item, just the page.
After a long search I found this extension: xw_ttnewslatestsingle
This extension adds a new tt_news view called LatestSingle, which allows you to use your single news template for a latest news item. When used, template markers for rating and stuff from tt_news add-ons are suddenly available since these markers only work in the single template, NOT in the latest template.
This is REALLY useful for direct rating and commenting on the frontpage!

Oooh my… You have SOOOO saved my day!
