I'm using TYPO3 10.4.14
I believe, that I understood the relationship of pages and tt_content. But I have not figured out, how to get the tt_content elements and the order from the table pages.
From tt_content it is easy to get the page, but not from pages to tt_content.
What I finally want to do, is to mark a page (additional column), for display the beginning of the page in an overview.
For that I need the content elements of a page!
Edit:
I want to do t with database query.
One possible way would to use the uid of pages and go to the tt_content and search there for the pid. But this is a long winded way.
How is TYPO3 it doing, when display the pages?
you have multiple ways to render any output (typical HTML):
typoscript
PHP
FLUID
(in the end all is PHP, but regarding what you are programming or configuring)
If you want to render some regular content of the current page you will use the defined typoscript styles.content.get (with modifications), which is a TypoScript CONTENT object. This will do a query to get those tt_content records which belong to the current page in the default (or other) column. This results in a query like SELECT * FROM tt_content WHERE pid = current_page_uid AND column = 0 (and some additional conditions regarding visibility (hidden, starttime, endtime, workspace, ...)
This could be assigned to a FLUID variable or requested by a viewhelper (f:cObject).
If you want to get content from another than the current page you need to do a similar request and use another page uid. Either you build your own CONTENT object and use it like the default content. Or you build an own viewhelper in PHP which you can use in FLUID. You can modify the query by reducing the number of records you consider, you also can modify the rendering regarding which fields will be shown in what HTML markup.
Depending on the package you use it may contain already specialized viewhelper which gets you the content of other pages and/or other columns.
I think you want to build teasers for other pages with the content of that pages.
Consider to use a special field in the pages record which contains a clean summary for the page content. Not each page has relevant or recognizable information in the first paragraph.
It's the same as for search engines: if you provide search engines with a summary, that will be shown at the search results and the searcher can better decide if this page is relevant for him.

I try to config extension ke_search. I created Indexer Configuration for tx_news, pages and tt_content.
For Page Indexer, in area "Content element types which should be indexed" I wrote "text,textmedia,textpic,bullets,table,html,header,uploads,tx_news,news,gridelements_pi1"
When I Start Indexer I get result for indexing for page, news and content. So I think thats all good.
But when I search any word from news or tt_content, in the fornt-end, I have no result. If I search page - I have result.
Ensure you set pid in "Record storage page of search data" in News indexing record. It seems to 4 news was indexed successful, so this may be a reason it doesn't find it later.
You don't have to set "tx_news,news," in Page indexing. These content types doesn't contain anything valuable to index, it's only plugin instance, so it will index things like header of that plugin element. But no news records, for that you use your News indexing config.
Check backend module Faceted search -> droplist option Indexed content. Select your Search Storage and investigate what's indexed for Type: news, does the field Abstract / Content contains anything? Are the pids correct?
Using flux to create custom content elements for TYPO3, fields that are defined in a flux:form are stored in a flex field as XML by default. By the solution Claus Due pointed out here (Fluidtypo3 Flux - save in table field), they can also be stored as individual columns in tt_content.
Now, when creating page templates and defining template parameters as flux input fields, could those be stored as indiviual columns in the "pages" table?
The obvious approach to do this in the same way as described for content elements, i.e.:
<flux:field.text name="pages.extrafield" label="Content" />
did not work. (I created the field "extrafield" in the pages table using my extension's ext_tables.sql)
The format you used is the correct one, but in order to get the field saved it first must be 1) allowed for the user who saves and 2) shown somewhere in the form; types passthrough and none should also work.
The last requirement is a safeguard added in a recent major version and is there to prevent doing things that normally would be prohibited by access settings or field availability.
I need to get a list of elements linking to a specific TYPO3 page or element (all IDs oder pages, that link or refer to a this element). I thought this was at the Info module, but I can't find it.
I have spent hours finding this info on the web and even in my oldschool TYPO3 manual book... nothing, but I know that I once had this list.
Thanks a lot in advance! (version is TYPO3 4.6, I am preparing an upgrade right now)
You could search your database manually to find such links. I will start to give you a list where you could search for.
Find tt_content headers which link to a page, element or any url:
SELECT * FROM tt_content WHERE header_link NOT LIKE '' AND deleted = 0;
In RTE fields, you could manually check.
Go to backend modul 'Configuration', choose '$TCA (Tabel configuration array)' and search for 'RTE'.
Then you schould get all RTE fields, which could have links set to any TYPO3 pages or elements.
Like fx: tt_content.bodytext.config.wizards.RTE...
These fields you could search for any links vis MySQL
SELECT * FROM tt_content WHERE bodytext LIKE '%<link%' OR bodytext LIKE '%<LINK%' AND deleted = 0;
Maybe someone can add more default fields not listed above.
I think you have seen the references of a record normaly seen in the list module.
If you hover your mouse over the count you get a list of origins.
That list is not always up to date and the usability of the origins differs from version to version. Sometimes you can use the origins as direct link to edit the origin record.
Maybe you had an extension which enhances the usage.
In gerneral: if records are used with TYPO3 (TCA group fields which build relations to other records with uid-lists, or mm-records) this is also stored as refrence.
As links are also relations they are not always stored as referenes, espeacially if the link is inside a textfield.
I'm working on a project based on Laravel 5.3 and Backpack CRUD. My project has about 8 different content types (news, page, portfolio, events, team, video, gallery, jobs).
I need to be able to add tags to every content type (n-n), and every content type has its own specific tags, so tags are NOT shared between the content types.
If I want to use the select_multiple or select2_multiple field type, I would need 8 tables for the content itself, 8 pivot tables, and 8 tables for the tags(!).
Obviously I would like to have just one table for the tags, but if I use the select_multiple or select2_multiple field type, I get all tags in the edit-form of every content type.
So, my question is: Is there an elegant way to filter the results of the select_multiple or select2_multiple field type?
I have created a simple schema with two content types:
http://dbdesigner.net/designer/schema/60412
In this example I want to be able to filter the tag list on content_type_id, when I'm editing the content of news or page. So I just want to see the news tags in the news-edit form, and just the page tags, in the page-edit form.
Or maybe I should just use the select_multiple field type as intended, and accept the 8 tag tables(?)
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I think a clean way would be to:
create different models for each tag use, so NewsTag, PageTag, PortfolioTag etc. that would only extend the Tag model and use a global scope to filter the results after content_type_id;
use backpack select2_multiple fields with NewsTag, PageTag, PortfolioTag etc; anything you set on the Tag model will be used (including the table attribute, mutators, accessors, etc);
Cheers!
I have been using the content report table macro, which has been working. Ideally, I only want to list content matching certain labels, and lock in an alphabetical sort order and not show the content author.
I have not been successful in figuring out a way to do this just yet.
Is there a way to just edit the source code for that macro and create a "new one"? I'm struggling to find any useful documentation out there.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
I was also interested on doing this some days ago. Unfortunately, the Content Report Table Macro only have very limited parameters which are very strict. However, the way I succeeded to display only certain properties from the pages and present them in a tabular way (in Confluence 5.8) was with the combination of the macros Page Properties and Page Properties Report, both of them linked by a unique label. I'll break it down below.
Outcome:
1. Set up of properties you want to track
Create a page.
Add the Page Properties macro (no need to specify an ID)
Within the macro just add a table with all the properties you need to keep track of, similar to this:
Important, this is what links the two macros together: Add a label to the recently created page.
2. Display properties in main page
Add Page Properties Report macro. Specify label used across all the already created pages. Also specify the space (I just love this part). In here you also add custom fields (some fields from Content Reports are here). In Options you can specify which properties to display (columns to show), also the sorting order (in my case I'm sorting by the property ID that I added to each page).
Note: if you just want to remove the content author this can even be done easier: no need to add any property, just specify the label of your pages and add the fields you need to show and sorting order.
Hope this helps.
