[TYPO3-english] dynamic content snippets

[Mario Šargač]

Hi Kay,

thank you for reply. I didn't plan to create own extension for this 
task, and though I use TV FCE's quite much, I wouldn't know how to solve 
this problem with it.

So far, I didn't figure it out yet what would be right approach, but I'm 
thinking in these (different) directions right now:

A: to create a content block, where those variables would be defined,... 
a TV FCE might be useful here to create and edit the list of variables, 
but then I don't know how to retrieve these variables and reuse them on 
other places,

B: similarly I still think of creating constants and try to place them 
into desired content using TS, but I read that CONSTANTS are used for 
other purposes, not for content reuse exactly,

C: to create a DB table with needed records (maybe a separate table with 
separate frontend to insert data, or use tt_content table... don't know 
yet, and then use CONTENT object to retrieve and glue data with TS into 
TV TS Object Path containers, where needed.

Did you ever tried to solve anything similar, or what do you suggest?

Best,
Mario
