[Typo3] GlobalVar - this one *should* be simple, right ... ? [SOLVED!]

[Scotty C]

Christopher,

You are BRILLIANT!!! Here is what I did (for the
reference of others). This will give a different
template for the root page:


Create page tree like so:


www.mysite.com (id = 286)
   +  About (id = 295)
   +  Contact (id = 294)
   +  Products (id = 293)

-> The page "www.mysite.com" (id=286) must have "is
root of site" set in page header!


In the TS for www.mysite.com, add the following to the
constants:

templateFile = fileadmin/xpressxperience/template.html
[treeLevel = 0]
templateFile = fileadmin/xpressxperience/home.html
[global]

This will set the default template to be
template.html, but use home.html for the root of the
web site (i.e. pageid=286)


Then the setup becomes easy! Just implement the
template like so:

page.19 = TEMPLATE
page.19 {
     template = FILE
     template.file = {$templateFile}

     # insert your custom code here

} # end template


Thanks again Christopher - I hope this can be of help
to others, as it certainly was for me!

-Scott.
