1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

This extension was created by Kasper Skårhøj for the tutorial Modern Template Building Part 1+2. It allows backend users to choose a different external HTML-template for each page. This especially makes sense when users are not allowed to touch the real template record but need the ability to change the layout of their page.

I added some new features to the original extension which also allows you to use pure TypoScript templates instead of external HTML files.

You should read the section in the tutorial to getter a better idea of how this extension works, since everything will be explained there right from the start. Nevertheless you can also use this extension without reading the tutorial, since the most important steps will be explained here, too.

Warning: By the time there have been made several changes to the original extension from the tutorial, only trust this manual, some steps mentioned in the tutorial probably won't work!
