[TYPO3-english] advanced typoscript wrapping needed

[Tyler Kraft]

Hi

Of course it says TEXT  - wrap doesn't have any means to do what your 
trying. I think what Christopher was saying was use a COA object in 
total instead of wraps

temp.MainContent < styles.content.get
temp.MainContent.renderObj.stdWrap.preObject = COA{
	10 = HTML
	10.value = <div class="public">
	10.if{...}

	20 = HTML
	20.value = <div class="private">
	20.if{...}

	30 = HTML
	30.value = <div class="ctonly">
	30.if{...}
}
temp.MainContent.renderObj.stdWrap.postObject = HTML
temp.MainContent.renderObj.stdWrap.postObject.value = </div>

This is untested but the idea should obviously wrap each the items 
brought in using get.styles.content.

Another way to do it is adjust the stdWrap.innerWrap2 for tt_content 
items so that the wraps are different and that the key it uses is 
different...

There most likely are more elegant ways to do it instead of either of 
these, but as far as I can see this could be done in 15minutes with 
either of these methods :-)
