Hi Maarten,

That won’t work as it will change the default header for the entire site – I need to target a single templavoila template.

Jangla, please go to the TypoScript Template Analyser (Template module). Have a look at line 192 of the css_styled_content setup. Here the Constant ‘defaultHeaderType’ is being loaded. (If not, search for the line). This will probably help you.

Hint:
lib.stdheader.10.key {
field = header_layout
ifEmpty = {$content.defaultHeaderType}
ifEmpty.override.data = register: defaultHeaderType
}

If you need help, please contact me through maarten (at) emaux.nl.

Ah – I’ve found why the above doesn’t work: the defaultHeaderType needs to be set in the constants field and not the setup field. My question therefore is whether it’s possible to achieve the same result in the setup field so I can change it for a single content definition or templavoila template?

I’ve just tried using the defaultHeaderType but had no luck. Possibly because of the way I’m trying to use it In order to reduce the amount of work needed to change all the H1 tags in the site, I’m trying to specifically target one content definition that only appears in one template.

I’ve got this code to render the content:

tempinfo.right_pag_sub4 = USER
tempinfo.right_pag_sub4 {
userFunc = tx_jspagination_pi2->main
content = USER
content {
defaultHeaderType = 2
userFunc = tx_tsvoila_pi1->main
field = right_column
}
title = TEXT
title.field = title
title.htmlSpecialChars = 1
breaking = FLEX
breaking.field = breaking
subtitle = TEXT
}

… but the H1 tag remains an H1 tag. Any help from anyone – is this even possible to do it this way?

Hi Jangla,

This can be done by using the following patch:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=6637

This will add a TypoScript feature:
special = reverseOrder

It should be in the core of TYPO3 4.3

Was very interested to read this article (finally some decent, easily implemented optimisations in English!) but wondered if you could assist with one thing? I already have some typoscript to generate a breadcrumb style title tag but have no idea how to reverse it to take advantage of the SEO gain mentioned above:

page.headerData.1 = HMENU
page.headerData.1.special = rootline
page.headerData.1.1 = TMENU
page.headerData.1.1.wrap = |
page.headerData.1.1 {
noBlur = 1
NO.linkWrap = | :: |*||*| |
NO.doNotLinkIt = 1
NO.stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
}
page.headerData.1.doNotLinkIt = 1
page.headerData.1.wrap = |

Any ideas?
