[TYPO3-templavoila] TV-Framework and switching page templates and updating TV

[Stephan Bernhard]

hi ron, nice to see you here around...


> I do not have this detailed out. On the sites I did last year on the non-extension version of the Framework, I have left running on TV 1.3.7 as there is not a compelling reason for me to upgrade right away. However, I am probably going to upgrade the documentation site shortly, so I may write guidance after that.

thanks for your pragmatic guidance.

this TV-upgrade seems to be quite tricky, especially when one has (like 
me) several DS (and TO) for each website (and its webpages) in the 
respective GRSPs in the same tree.
