I have following Typoscript for switching backend layout:
10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
10 {
templateName = TEXT
templateName {
cObject = TEXT
cObject {
data = pagelayout
required = 1
case = uppercamelcase
split {
token = pagets__
cObjNum = 1
1.current = 1
}
}
ifEmpty = Default
}
templateRootPaths {
0 = EXT:package/Resources/Private/Templates/Page/
1 = {$page.fluidtemplate.templateRootPath}
}
partialRootPaths {
0 = EXT:package/Resources/Private/Partials/Page/
1 = {$page.fluidtemplate.partialRootPath}
}
layoutRootPaths {
0 = EXT:package/Resources/Private/Layouts/Page/
1 = {$page.fluidtemplate.layoutRootPath}
}
...
My goal is: I have different backend layouts, like 2 columns, three columns...
When I switch, I want to load 2Columns.html or 3Columns.html from the Resources/Private/Templates/Page/, but keep the Default.html (Main Layout of the Website) in Resources/Private/Layouts/Page/. But I always get the error:
The Fluid template files "/package/Resources/Private/Layouts/Page/2Columns" could not be loaded.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks!
The naming might be misleading.
There are a lot of templates in the world of TYPO3:
there are typoscript configurations which are called template. These consists of records (table sys_template) or files (*.typoscript)
there are HTML-files which includes pattern how the page should be generated (classical HTML-template)
2.a. there are marker-templates for the old way
2.b. there are FLUID-templates. These are divided into three categories which are stored in separate folders named for their purpose:
2.b.I. Templates
2.b.II. Partials
2.b.III. Layouts
And with category 2.b.I. we get another template.
If you use FLUID the primary decision for an appearance of a page is done with the template you start with.
Also that is the only entry in selecting any FLUID files.
Inside this selected template file (= from the folder Templates/) you can select a layout file. With this concept you can have different appearances (e.g. one-, two-, three-columns) with common parts like header/ footer.
In the layout file you define those parts of a page which are common to different templates.
In the partial files you define smaller parts which can be used multiple times or which just make a separate unit (e.g. a menu, or the way you want to include images)
The other non unique name is layout:
Inside the FLUID templates we had the category layout(2.b.III)
but there also are fields in some records named layout: tt_content.layout, pages.layout, pages.backend_layout, pages.backend_layout_next_level
These can make a difference in the appearance of the data.
But that must be configured.
Your example uses pagelayout which gets filled from the fields pages.backend_layout, pages.backend_layout_next_level with inheritance and override, so you can easily use it. and correctly you select a (FLUID-)template.
So: your definition is correct.
You can not select FLUID-layouts from typoscript and you do not need it.

In a installation of Typo3 7.6, I have a simple gridelement, just providing two columns.
When adding a gridelement in the backend, I can set appearence -> layout to one of several values.
The configuration of gridelements via typoscript adds its values to tt_content.gridelements_pi1.20.10.setup
Is there a possibility to add a class to the typoscript-setup, depending on the value in "layout"?
Since the value belongs to the grid container itself, there is no special magic necessary to get it from the record. A simple dataWrap should do the job.
tt_content.gridelements_pi1.20.10.setup {
1 < lib.gridelements.defaultGridSetup
1 {
dataWrap = <div class="layout-number-{field:layout}">|</div>
columns {
...
}
}
}
I am searching for a TYPO3 extension that lets me define variables and use them everywhere in the TYPO3 backend (something like %CEO_NAME%).
The customer wants to define names and addresses (for their CEO for example) centrally, so that when another person gets the job they can just change it once and it gets replaced in every RTE, page title, keyword, etc.
Is there some extension that would allow me to do that easily or is there an easy way this could be achieved with TS?
If at all possible I would like to avoid writing an own extension for this as the budget is somewhat tight on that project.
There are some possibilities with typoscript. Which means no editor can maintain the replacements.
One solution:
at last in the rendering process you replace any occurence:
page = PAGE
page {
:
do the rendering of the page
:
// now replace any occurence:
stdWrap.replacement {
1.search = __CEO__
1.replace = John Doe
2.search = __COMPANY__
2.replace = ACME
}
}
Be careful to select an unique key as the replacement is done everywhere (in HTML tags, in (inline) javascript/CSS, ...).
Advantage: this replacement can use regular expressions.
Next solutions:
Enhance the parsefunc, which is used for textarea fields.
tt_content.text.20 { <- example
parseFunc {
constants {
// replaces '###CEO###' with 'John Doe'
CEO = John Doe
}
short {
__CEO__ = John Doe
}
}
}
This will replace the markers only in the fields this parseFunc is active.
I'm trying to use the TYPO3 tags function to get strings from an xlf file. If I hard code the reference to the string I want, it returns successfully, but I need to know how to get it to return the appropriate string based on the tag content.
For example, this works:
HTML:
<var>myVar</var>
Typoscript:
lib.parseFunc_myExt{
tags {
var = TEXT
var{
value = {LLL:path/to/locallang.xlf:var.myVar}
insertData = 1
}
}
}
I need a method to take the content of the <var> tag and use it in place of myVar in the value.
I have an object defined in TypoScript
page.10 {
variables {
myObject = COA
myObject{
1 = TEXT
1.value = yome Text
2 = TEXT
2.value = 42
}
}
}
and I need the data of the myObject in a partial
<f:render partial="myPartial" arguments="{content:myObject}" />
that looks like
<section id="myPartial">
<h2>{content.1}</h2>
<p>{content.2}</p>
</section>
Although the content is there ( because {content} will display all the properties) I cannot access it and h2 and p will be empty...
What should I do to fill h2 and p with the content of myObject?
That is not possible. TypoScript only returns text strings at the moment, not arrays. Thus the variable myObject contains the whole concatenated string of the COA, thus yome Text42.
Note that COA means Content Object Array, but the whole COA is one single object that is returned as one string.
Alternative: use the VHS extension's v:var.typoscript ViewHelper:
{namespace v=Tx_Vhs_ViewHelpers}
{v:var.typoscript(path: 'page.10.variables.myObject') -> v:var.set(name: 'myObject')}
After which you can access {myObject.1} etc. in your template. Note that the so-called "chained" usage of v:var.set is optional, but will make it easier to access your variables using an intermediate template variable instead of more expensive calls to retrieve the value completely in multiple locations. The other way:
{v:var.typoscript(path: 'page.10.variables.myObject.1')}
{v:var.typoscript(path: 'page.10.variables.myObject.2')}
etc.

In my typoscript 20.special.value and 10.value.typolink.parameter have the same value, which is a page id. I use this value to build a heading and a menu of its subpages within the same COA object. I would like to be able to re-use this value.
How can I call a object property in typoscript?
Here's what I have tried:
10 = HTML
10 {
value.typolink {
parameter = {$temp.LANDINGPAGEMENU.20.special.value}
}
}
UPDATE:
I am re-utilizing my COA object in different parts of the site, and changing only the special.value, so to display a menu I have:
temp.LANDINGPAGEMENU.10.value.typolink.parameter = 2427
temp.LANDINGPAGEMENU.20.special.value = 2427
temp.COLUMN_NOTSURE < temp.LANDINGPAGEMENU
I am after a cleaner way of handling the
temp.LANDINGPAGEMENU.10.value.typolink.parameter = 2427
temp.LANDINGPAGEMENU.20.special.value = 2427
Full LANDINGPAGEMENU typoscript code is http://pastebin.com/p9kPuZEe
Use the constants but not in a way you tried. You have to define the constant first.
Constants: my_constant = 2427
Setup: parameter = {$my_constant}
...OR...
Assign one of the values by reference using the =< operator. However, this would work only when using the whole object. Example:
temp.something = TEXT
temp.something.value = 2427
...parameter.cObject =< temp.something
I suggest you go with the option 1 using the constants as the 2nd option is somewhat cumbersome.
You can copy the property but not by reference it.
