But that is the way we do this.
We have conditions in our constants template on root page.
-----------

homeID = 1
catId = 1,2,3
showListId = 4
showEventId = 5

#now there is another constants set for the PIDinRootline 703 in the 
following lines:

[PIDinRootline = 703]
homeID = 703
catId = 1,6,18
showListId = 946
showEventId = 945
[end]

#and another constants set if we are in rootline 1450:

[PIDinRootline = 1450]
homeID = 1450
catId = 1,9,19
showListId = 1451
showEventId = 1452
[end]

------------
one single constants TS on the rootpage
is that the faster way for rendering?
or put an ext TS template on page 703 with the constants set in it
homeID = 703
catId = 1,6,18
showListId = 946
showEventId = 945

Thanks for your hints so far.
