[TYPO3-english] Mapping Content Element Containers with TypoScript

Tue Oct 12 13:15:05 CEST 2010

Hi list,

I am currently experimenting with creating templates using TYPOSCRIPT 
rather than TemplaVoila, the documentation on this topic seems a little 
distributed and sparse, so I was wondering if someone could help me with 
my last problem!

I have the following extension template as part of the site :

# <HEAD> Inclusions Overwrite
page.headerData.10 = TEXT
page.headerData.10.value (
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" 
href="fileadmin/templates/addysg/resources/turbine/css.php?files=childrens.cssp" 
media="all" />
)

# Include main template for childrens section.
page.50 = TEMPLATE
page.50.template = FILE
page.50.template.file = 
fileadmin/templates/addysg/templates/childrens_content.html

as you can see this extension template is pulling in a different CSS 
file to the main template ( I tried using includeCSS but nothing was 
outputted :( ) and a simple call to a template file which sits in the 
middle of templates that are further up on the template hierarchy. This 
is all wonderful and works fantastically, what I would like to know is 
how to map one of the markers '###MAIN_CONTENT###' in 
'childrens_content.html' to be a container for content elements, so that 
contributors may input data using the back end.

In TemplaVoila this is done using the clickety click mapping feature, 
would anyone be able to show me how this is done using TYPOSCRIPT.

I don't think I am using anything version specific here, but I am using 
the latest build of 4.4 if that helps at all.

If you would like any more information please let me know :)

Thanks again list!
Dayle.
