[TYPO3] Multiple Templates on One Site

[Tyler Kraft]

No real tutorial but the important stuff is below

Once you know how to reference in a html template then all you do is 
change one line for various set ups. In the case below I'm just changing 
the way various columns get wrapped depending on the layout option. You 
can put anything you want in there really. If you consistently use the 
same marks for the html templates then just simply have one line of ts 
that changes the template html that is used depending upon the layout 
chosen - read up on this in the tsref, and typoscript syntax documents


	#default layout incae other pages dont get a layout for some reason
	temp.maincol.wrap = <div id="innermaincol" class="r500">|</div>
	temp.rhcol.wrap = <div id="rhcol" class="w500" >|</div>

[globalVar = TSFE:page|layout=0]
	#default layout again
	temp.maincol.wrap = <div id="innermaincol" class="r500">|</div>
	temp.rhcol.wrap = <div id="rhcol" class="w500" >|</div>

[globalVar = TSFE:page|layout=1]
	temp.maincol.wrap = <div id="innermaincol" class="r300">|</div>
	temp.rhcol.wrap = <div id="rhcol" class="w300 nborder">|</div>


[global]


Then to rename the options just use the below ts in the page tsconfig 
(from tsconfig document, where you can also read on how to add options)

TCEFORM.pages.layout.altLabels.0 = 300px/White/Img Border
TCEFORM.pages.layout.altLabels.1 = 500px/White/no Img border
