Typo3: RealURL and Ext:news – News URLs are not rewritten

Question

I'm runnning Typo3 6.2.4 with RealURL 1.12.8 and News (tx_news) 3.0.1. Using the automatic configuration from RealURL rewrites the URLs for "normal" pages, but not for news. The generated links look like this:

index.php?id=5&tx_news_pi1%5Bnews%5D=4&tx_news_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=News&tx_news_pi1%5Baction%5D=detail&cHash=706379a0ef43d4020448c5193f865bf1

This is what automatic configuration gives me. I've just inserted the part from http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/news/Main/Administration/Realurl/Index.html. At the moment I'm not interested in creating a special kind of rewritten URL, I just want to get RealURL rewrite the news URLs. Once that's running, I think I'll get the rest figured out.

So did you turn off automatic configuration and set the path to the configuration file you created? And if so, did you clear the General cache? — lorenz
@lorenz Yes, automatic configuration is turned off, basic.configFile is set to typo3conf/realurl_conf.php. And I cleared the caches. Furthermore I know that RealURL works generally, because the speaking URLs for my non-news pages are accessible. — z80crew

It turned out that my realurl_conf.php was correct, but the TypoScript configuration part was missing. As soon as I put those lines in the template setup of my root page, Typo3 started to rewrite the URLs:

config.absRefPrefix = /
config.tx_realurl_enable = 1
config.uniqueLinkVars = 1
# dont forget to set the allowed range - otherwise anything else could be inserted
config.linkVars = L(0-3)
