What is the TypoScript template?

TYPO3 CMS has a clear separation between contents and its design. But this works in coordination because of the configuration language, TypoScript.

For instance, TypoScript reads content from the database, prepares it to display, then it shows up in the frontend. Hence, a TypoScript defines how a webpage contents should be rendered in the frontend.

Basically, a TypoScript template, created in the template module can exist on any page. But mistakes in the TypoScript template can end up in errors. So, let’s discuss the error Service Unavailable (503).

3. Next, we select the root page from the page tree. And this opens the Template tool window.

4. Here we select the option Info/Modify from the dropdown in the Docheader.

5. Then we select the option Edit the whole template record.

6. Here our Support Engineers check the entries under the option General. This is where we add the page object. For instance, a standard entry of the page setup appears as,

page = PAGE
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value = <Page setup>

7. Next under the Options tab, we ensure to enable the checkbox Rootlevel.

8. Later, in the Includes tab, we add the appropriate template options.
