[TYPO3] Using subtitle in template

Discussion:

Hello,

I want to use the pages subtitle as a text in my template. I use this
typoscript:

# subtitle
lib.sub = TEXT
lib.sub {
value = domain.com
value.override.field = subtitle
value.wrap = domain.com: |
}

And have tried many variations on this one, but none of them show any
result. What am I doing wrong?

BTW, I'm new to typoscript, I hope questions like this are appropriate
on this list. I could not find a special 'newbie list'.

Thanks in advance,
Edwin.

You are trying to get subtitle from tt_content but you need pages table.
So try:
value.override.data = page:subtitle

It is ok, support is here, in this list.

value.override.data = page:subtitle

Thanks. I have just tried this, and when viewing the page, it just shows
'domain.com', it isn't overwritten with the subtitle. The page I'm
viewing does have a subtitle.

Thanks matthew. I have already read that tutorial, and tried a script
like that, but it didn't work.

You are trying to get subtitle from tt_content but you need pages
value.override.data = page:subtitle

"value" doesn't offer stdWrap properties in TEXT elements.
So this is the correct syntax:

lib.sub = TEXT
lib.sub {
value = domain.com
override.field = subtitle
override.wrap = domain.com: |
}

but then you might run into problems since the wrap will make the override
always happen even if the field subtitle is empty so I guess it would be
better to do it like this:

lib.sub = COA
lib.sub {
wrap = domain.com|
10 = TEXT
10.dataWrap = : {field:subtitle}
10.fieldRequired = subtitle
}

Thanks Joey,

I tried both codes, but they both only render the wrap, without the
subtitle. Could there be something else I'm doing wrong??

It seems you are not in the correct "scope" to get the field "subtitle".
It is a field of the pages table. So I assumed you are rendering this field
while rendering other stuff of the pages data array.
If you try do get the subtitle field while rendering elements from other
tables (like i.e. tt_content) you have to do it like Dmitry already
mentioned:

10.dataWrap = : {page:subtitle}

Should be working then.

Thanks for all the input, but I can't get any of the typoscript to work.
I'm new to typoscript (I have read the basic tutorials), and am not very
familiar with scopes.

Here is what I did: I mapped <h1> tags using templavoila as editing
type: typoscript object path. I then added the typoscript to my template
just like I did for the menu's (which are working fine).

I still have not figured out what I'm doing wrong.. The Typoscripts I
have used (as suggested here) seem right, but still it's just not
working. I only get the first part of the wrap, I can't access the
subtitle field for some reason.. Any further suggestions would be
appreciated.
