news: remove path “article” or “article detail”

I use TYPO3 8.7 and extension "news" version 6.1. I want to shorten the news article detail path. I already use this (the advanced example):

https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/news/AdministratorManual/BestPractice/Realurl/Index.html

Now I have: article/title-of-the-news/

How to get rid of the "article" path? "article" is the title of the page where the news detail plugin is located.

At first I thought you could just hide the page via the "exclude form speaking url" checkbox in the page settings. But I don't think you can actually shorten that URL any further - that won't work, because then realurl will try to display the home page. – deadfishli

There are the hooks "encodeSpURL_postProc" and "decodeSpURL_preProc" in realurl. With them you can overwrite and remove parts from your url.

I guess you use "fixedPostVars"?

Use the page, where you the news list is located, also as page for the news details. The news list will get overwritten with the news details.

I think there is no other solution, you can't have a page "article" for the news details but no part "article" in the url: TYPO3 has to know on which page it should display the news details.
