[TYPO3-templavoila] how to use "One huge redundant DS - Many different TOs"?

[Christian Wolff]

Hi MaaBoo

you can create many DS/TO out ouf the same template file.
you usualie dont use One Big DS to do everything.

the DS/TS konzept is more for different displays of the same data.

so you could have an "info-box" element whitch kontains of an headline.
text and image. but comes in different "layouts" like full width.
and an other just in 50% width.

if you for both elements the same DS you are able to switch the layout
and all data are kept Correctly.

a more visual explanation is kaspers christmas tutorial were he shows
how to use templaVoila in action.
her are all podcasts
