[TYPO3-english] Flat Menu (like a Table of Contents) Into subpagesand their content element headings

[JoH asenau]

>   renderObj = TEXT
>   renderObj {
>     field = header
>     wrap=<span class="text">|</span><br>
>     typolink.parameter.field=pid
>     typolink.parameter.dataWrap=|
>     typolink.additionalParams.insertData=1
>     typolink.additionalParams=&content_id={field:uid}
>     typolink.no_cache=1
>     if.isTrue.field=header
>   }

This code looks like complete nonsense to me, since you are linking to the
current page (and therfor don't need to use the pid) and "no_cache" is never
a good idea.
Try this one instead:

renderObj = TEXT
renderObj {
    field = header
    wrap=<span class="text">|</span><br>
    typolink {
        parameter.dataWrap = #{field:uid}
    }
}

To check if the header is set you should better use the MySQL query instead
of TypoScript "if".

        1 {
            wrap = <ul>|</ul>
            NO {
                allWrap = <li>|</li>
                after.cObject = COA
                after.cObject {
                    wrap = <ul>|</ul>
                    10 = CONTENT
                    10 {
                        table = tt_content
                        select {
                            pidInList.field = uid
                            orderBy = sorting
                            where = colPos=0 AND header
                            languageField=sys_language_uid
                        }
                        renderObj = TEXT
                        renderObj {
                            dataWrap = <li>{field:header}</li>
                            typolink {
                                parameter.dataWrap = {field:pid}#{field:uid}
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Not tested though
