will match numeric values, and globalString will match characters. So if =
you
wanted to match pages with title "hi", you would use globalString like =
this:

[globalString =3D TSFE:page|title =3D hi]

And you use global var to match numbers, like

[globalVar =3D TSFE:page|uid =3D 332]

So because TSFE:cObj|currentRecord prints "table:uid", I used =
globalString
because it includes the title of the table:

[globalString=3DTSFE:cObj|currentRecord=3Dtt_content:1316]
plugin.tt_news.templateFile=3Dfileadmin/Arts_Co-op/templates/news_templat=
es/ar
ts-co-op-headlines.tmpl
[global]

But I must be either doing something wrong because I can't get that to =
work
in a condition, or it just doesn't work in conditions. Works for just
grabbing the data though.

I also tried using .if**, but it doesn't seem like that works past just
rendering the object or not. So I could do:

dates.10.if=20
....

and decide whether to render the object "dates.10", but I can't do

dates.10.wrap.if=20
...

and determine whether or not to wrap it, so it doesn't look like that =
will
work for the template file / other plugin.tt_news setting, because it =
would
have to be

plugin.tt_news.templateFile.if
...


I'm now using an alternate approach I saw here:
http://www.typo3-jack.net/typo3-english-lists-netfielders-de/11808-typo3-=
how
-set-typoscript-specific-content-element.html

It works, but it means that all of the options (categories, number of =
items
to display, etc) for the object are set via typoscript, which is not =
ideal
because I won't be maintaining the site.=20

Hi,

Prehaps I'm missing the idea here, but are globalVar and globalString=20
not two different things? And if you want to test for a specific news=20
record displaying  wouldn't you use tx_ttnews[tt_news]=3D401 and do=20
something like

[globalVar =3D GP:tt_news=3D401]
or
[globalVar =3D GP:tx_ttnews|tt_news=3D401]

What exactly are you trying to do? (you don't really explain that here)=20
Are you wanting to draw out one specific record and place it on one=20
specific page (with out it being in the BE page content)? Can you please =

give a better description of what you want to achieve
