Hi all,
I am really sorry to keep on but would very much appreciate your thoughts.
I have set a new string property on the TYPO3.Neos:Page Node, in my
project Notypes.yaml, which I can set via the Neos UI.
I then wish to select the fluid template used to render a Page basd on
this property.
so I have assumed that in my project Roots.ts2 i can acces this property
like this:
layoutType = ${q(node).property('layoutType')}
Which i think should return a string.
Then I wish to select the fluid template based on this:
so i in my Roots.ts2 have tried
page.body{
...
templatePath = ${layoutType !='home' ?
'resource://reroot.DemoSiteReroot/Private/Templates/Page/Default.html':
'resource://reroot.DemoSiteReroot/Private/Templates/Page/Home.html'}
...
}
But I always get the default template.
I am not quite sure where I am going wrong as I am not very confident
with Typoscript and in fact if this is something that can be done?
Any ideas pointers most appreciated
Many thanks
Nick
