[Typo3] templavoila sub template

[Christoph Koehler]

Hello,

ya I left the DS intact and made a different TO. the only difference in  
the sub template is a sub menu, and it's already there in the DS, so  
that's fine. I even got it to show already but didn't know where to set up  
the sub menu.
To do that, do I just go to the standard template config and add a  
submenu, it just won't show in the TO without the submenu, only in the TO  
with one?
