hi

I use smth like this in the forked version of news:

In the Classes/BaseControlle.php I do:


	protected function initializeView1(Tx_Extbase_MVC_View_ViewInterface 
$view) {
		// overwrite default template
		$controller = $this->request->getControllerName();
		$action = $this->request->getControllerActionName();
		if ($controller && $action) {
			if ($this->settings['Default']['default']['templateFile']) {
				// overwrite from flexform
				$templateFile = $this->settings['Default']['default']['templateFile'];
			} else {
				// overwrite from typoscript
				$templateFile = $this->settings[$controller][$action]['templateFile'];
			}
			$templateFile = t3lib_div::getFileAbsFileName($templateFile);
			if (file_exists($templateFile) && $templateFile) {
				$this->view->setTemplatePathAndFilename($templateFile);
			}
		}
	}


then in flexform I add:

<settings.Default.default.templateFile>
                         <TCEforms>
                             <label>Template file (if empty the default 
will be choosen)</label>
                             <config>
                                 <type>group</type>
                                 <internal_type>file</internal_type>
                                 <allowed>tpl,html</allowed>
                                 <max_size>500</max_size>
                                 <uploadfolder></uploadfolder>
                                 <minitems>0</minitems>
                                 <maxitems>1</maxitems>
                                 <size>1</size>
                             </config>
                         </TCEforms>
                     </settings.Default.default.templateFile>



This was I can use separate template in flexform but also have separate 
template for each TS call like for example:

20 = USER
20 {
  userFunc = tx_extbase_core_bootstrap->run
  extensionName = Vcs
  pluginName = Pi1
  switchableControllerActions.Item.1 = list
  settings {
       featuredRestriction = nonFeatured
       Item.list.templateFile = 
{$plugin.tx_vcs.view.templateRootPath}Item/MenuSidebarNonFeatured.html
}


20 = USER
20 {
  userFunc = tx_extbase_core_bootstrap->run
  extensionName = Vcs
  pluginName = Pi1
  switchableControllerActions.Item.1 = list
  settings {
       featuredRestriction = featured
       Item.list.templateFile = 
{$plugin.tx_vcs.view.templateRootPath}Item/MenuSidebarFeatured.html
}


This way I can use the power of demaned object and prevent from having 
lot of actions like those building menu from record like 
menuSidebarAction, menuFooterAction etc, etc.

All I need is a powerfull list action and lot of tempaltes.
