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

[Ron Hall]

Hi MaaBoo,

I think the behavior you are experiencing is because you are probably  
using the same HTML file for both TOs. In effect the DS fields are not  
being used but the HTML you have in the template still shows up (as  
expected).

If you make a copy of the HTML file, delete the two items that you do  
not want and use that for the basis of the other TOs it will work. As  
before you would not map those DS fields on those templates. In others  
words you can have one DS but you have to use multiple HTML files for  
the TOs.

BTW. What you are trying to do works best with fields that have TS  
driven output. If they are fields which are for the user to place  
content then it is best to do an additional DS.

Hope this helps,
Ron
