What are you talking about? First of all, there is nothing in that
tutorial that should be affected by TV. Secondly, conditional comments
can't be used in TV because of the limitations of TYPO3's HTML parser.
Using something like this works fine:

page.headerdata {
  5 = HTML
  5 {
    value = <!--[if IE]><style type="text/css">@import
url(ie_win.css);</style><![endif]-->
  }
}

Moreover, if you read the TSref entry on page.headerData [1], you'll
see that it is '...inserted after all the style-definitions'--which,
IMO, is a powerful argument for NOT relying on TV to select
stylesheets etc from the header (though I don't actually know where
the headerData stuff gets inserted when you do use TV to select CSS
files).

In any case, what on earth do you think this has to do with constants?
Every problem you've reported in this thread so far indicates a
garden-variety problem with an un-set constant. You said, for example:

If, for some reason, the constant fails to work, try the literal value
in the TS; instead of:


20.typolink.parameter = {$plugin.tx_newloginbox.loginUID}


Try e.g.:


20.typolink.parameter = 43


Once you get it working with the literals, you can go back and see if
there's a problem with constants.

I've also just checked in an all TV site in a similar TS
object--constants are processed as expected.
