In your main TS template? Ridiculous.

No extension can automatically put anything in the setup OR constants
field of your template. Extensions can add TS to a site, but they
cannot add anything into a template. In your example above, for
example, how could an extension predict the name of the stylesheet and
template or the uid of a page?

Something similar to what you describe is possible only if you've
imported a group of records from another site or from a tutorial.

I do not see how this can be possible.

You just said that the setup field is blank. Is it or isn't it?

By following one of the tutorials and learning how. Did you really
think that asking 'how do I build a site' on a mailing list could
replace the process of studying a lengthy tutorial?

Sorry, but it is quite plain that you have not studied any of the MTB,
Golive or FTB tutorials, and until you do, it is not going to be
possible to help you and it's extremely frustrating to try.

Your messages in this thread show that you lack even the most basic TS
knowledge required to get a site built. and nobody is going to be able
to help you build a site yourself until you start to become familiar,
in at least a basic way, with TS templating.
