[TYPO3-templavoila] Conditionals in Data Structure

[Ron Hall]

To help close this thread. After even more searching, I started from scratch
to my testing between code in a regular ts template and the ts in the
typoscript field in Templa.

I have not been able to get the [globalVar] conditional to work. However, I
have been able to figure out how the stdWrap "if" conditional should work.

Originally, I was writing something like this which does not work:

10 = COA
10.if {
value = {$myConstant}
equals = on
}
10.value = This will only display if condition is true

I should have been writing this which works:

10 = COA
10.if {
value = {$myConstant}
equals = on
}
10.10 = HTML
10.10.value = This will only display if condition is true

Thanks,
Ron Hall
