I needed an image in the RTE to support the ‘click and enlarge’ option in tt_news. Now, I used Google to find a solution but no luck, although it seems I’m not the only one trying to make this work. Looks like this isn’t as easy as it would sound..

How to set the click and enlarge option for the RTE in tt_news:

Step 1:
Include the static template: Clickenlarge Rendering (rtehtmlarea)

Now the click and enlarge rendering should work for normal content elements, but still no result for tt_news.

Step 2:
Add the following TypoScript to your setup:

# Rendering RTE tt_news. Use the normal RTE parseFunc
# configuration for tt_news rte content
plugin.tt_news {
        general_stdWrap {
   	      parseFunc < tt_content.text.20.parseFunc
        }
}

Your Done

It turns out tt_news uses another way of rendering the RTE, so this should be reversed.

Update: It seems this snippet is actually part of the tt_news static template but out-commented... makes me wonder why?
