Typo3 News Extension: “TypoScript object path ”lib.tx_news.contentElementRendering“ does not exist”

Question

Without knowingly having changed something in the configuration or templates, I can't output content elements in the detail view of news-articles.

1/1) #1253191023 TYPO3Fluid\Fluid\Core\ViewHelper\Exception

TypoScript object path "lib.tx_news.contentElementRendering" does not exist

I have this configuration:

typo3conf/ext/news/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.txt

# Rendering of content elements in detail view
lib.tx_news.contentElementRendering = RECORDS
lib.tx_news.contentElementRendering {
    tables = tt_content
    source.current = 1
    dontCheckPid = 1
}

typo3conf/ext/site_package/Resources/Plugin/News/Templates/News/Detail.html

<f:if condition="{newsItem.contentElements}">
 <!-- content elements -->
 <f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.tx_news.contentElementRendering">
  {newsItem.contentElementIdList}
 </f:cObject>
</f:if>

So it looks to me as it is what is recommended in the docs: https://docs.typo3.org/p/georgringer/news/master/en-us/Tutorials/Templates/RenderContentElements/Index.html

Typo3 version: 10.4.12

News version: 8.5.2

I can't figure out why I can't output content-elements in news-articles all of the sudden.

Can anyone help?

Have you included the static TypoScript of EXT:news in your (TypoScript-)Template? docs.typo3.org/p/georgringer/news/master/en-us/… — Julian Hofmann
You are right, the static template was not included... Thank you. How can I award this question to you? — user838531

If lib.tx_news.contentElementRenderingis not defined, most likely you've forgotten to include the static TypoScript Template of EXT:news.

News system - Installation:

Preparation: Include static TypoScript

The extension ships some TypoScript code which needs to be included.

Switch to the root page of your site.

Switch to the Template module and select Info/Modify.

Press the link Edit the whole template record and switch to the tab Includes.

Select News (news) at the field Include static (from extensions):
