How to get Speaking URLs for News 7.0.7 on Typo3 9.5.0

Question

I really like the ease Typo3 9.5.0 is creating speaking URL's.

The only problem I do have is to make it work with extensions like news. Could not find a way to make it work and have no clue where to start. Appreciate your help.

Best regards Dan

You can do this with the routeEnhancers directive in your site configuration YAML file (typically htdocs/config/sites//config.yaml). There is an example in the official documentation, though hidden a little bit:

https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/Changelog/9.5/Feature-86365-RoutingEnhancersAndAspects.html

This is a configuration I am actively using:

rootPageId: <site id>
...
routeEnhancers:
 NewsPlugin:
  type: Extbase
  limitToPages:
    - 49 (when your news detail page id is 49)
    - ...
  extension: News
  plugin: Pi1
  routes:
    -
     routePath: '/blog/{page}'
     _controller: 'News::list'
     _arguments:
       page: '@widget_0/currentPage'
    -
     routePath: '/tag/{tag_name}'
     _controller: 'News::list'
     _arguments:
       tag_name: overwriteDemand/tags
    -
     routePath: '/{news_title}'
     _controller: 'News::detail'
     _arguments:
       news_title: news
    -
     routePath: '/archive/{year}/{month}'
     _controller: 'News::archive'
  defaultController: 'News::list'
  defaults:
   page: '0'
  aspects:
   news_title:
    type: PersistedAliasMapper
    tableName: tx_news_domain_model_news
    routeFieldName: path_segment
