[TYPO3-english] best practise for multiple layouts (layout selector) with tx_news?

Hey there.

What about this:
<f:layout name="my-layout-{settings.templateLayout}" />

There are two drawbacks of this:

1: You need to have every possible layout available as a distinct layout file. If you miss one of those which gets called there is no "default" but your FE will end up in an exception.
1.1: The "my-layout-1.html" to "my-layout-99.html" files are pretty obvious, but just in case there is no templteLayout setting at all, you need a "my-layout-.html" file as well.
2: And obviously this is only possible once per template.

If you want to switch rendering per news type, just drop the singleNewsElement fragment to partials.

<f:render partial="single-news-{news.type}" arguments="{_all}" />

I don't know if the "type" property is supported by default tx_news. I don't refer to specific tx_news mechanisms but to fluid in general.

If you have lots of different options, like ~30 different result types of solr results in a search result, this becomes very handy. My most recent projects always had search result types like news-default, news-internal, news-special-events, page-default, page-product-details, location, fal-default, fal-special-publication, whatever. The result types where decided when indexing records, obviously there are subtypes. Instead of creating a huge if/else thingy I always split those up into individual partial files. I find this much easier to understand and maintain.
