Hi Michael, the difference between layouts and templates is pretty simple: a layout can be used by multiple templates and defines sections that are implemented in the templates.
It is up to you, where to store them when using the standalone FLUIDTEMPLATE. If you don't have any <f:layout name="xyz" /> declaration in your template, your code should already work. If a <f:layout name="xyz" /> tag is in the template file, Fluid looks up the according file in the layoutRootPath and "merges" the sections (e.g. <f:section name="content">my content</f:section> ) from the template into the layout (<f:render section="content" />) It makes much more sense when you have to deal with plugins/extensions and need to have some sort of global wrappers for different controllers and actions. So long story short: your layouts are templates (from a technical point of view) ;) HTH, Andreas _______________________________________________ TYPO3-english mailing list TYPO3-english@lists.typo3.org http://lists.typo3.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-english
