How i get the current URL segment as constants - typo3

it's possible to save the current URL in constants for used this in setup?
URL Example: example.com/de/site1
I need the URL segment: "/de/site2"
Part of my constants:
#--------------------------------------------------
# Site Config
siteConfig {
homePid = 2
footerNaviPid = 4
currentURL =
}
In the setup i build a onPager navi and need the currentURL segment there.
Part of my setup
#---------------------
# Make Sections for OnePager
lib.sectionContentNavi = HMENU
lib.sectionContentNavi {
wrap = |
#entryLevel = 1
special = directory
special.value = 2
#excludeUidList = 25
entryLevel = 1
1 = TMENU
1 {
expAll = 1
noBlur = 1
wrap = <ul>|</ul>
NO {
wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
linkWrap =|
}
ACT = 1
ACT {
wrapItemAndSub = <li class="act">|</li>
linkWrap =|
}
}
2 = TMENU
2 {
expAll = 1
noBlur = 1
wrap = <ul>|</ul>
NO = 1
NO {
doNotLinkIt = 1
linkWrap = <li>|</li>
stdWrap >
stdWrap {
wrap = |
insertData = 1
cObject = TEXT
cObject {
field = nav_title // title
}
}
}
ACT = 1
ACT {
wrapItemAndSub = <li class="act">|</li>
linkWrap =|
}
}
}
A tip from you make me happy :-)
Greets Deukaei

you cant get variable data in your typoscript constants.
you can use variables in your setup (something like GET, POST or ENV).
for easier (or multiple) usage you can store these values in register variables.
But you should not build a-tags in typoscript or fluid on your own.
Try to use typolink or f:link viewhelpers.
in this way you never need to access the current URL as you only link to a page uid (and maybe action paramters and record parameters) and TYPO3 resolves it to the correct path segments.

How to get "leveltitle" for HMENU items via TypoScript?

I have a menu (HMENU with special = updated) that gives me the latest sub and sub-sub pages from 3 categories.
The page structure looks like this in the backend:
In addition to the title, I would like to output the name of the respective category (the parent level-1 page).
This is my TypoScript attempt:
lib.myMenu = HMENU
lib.myMenu {
special = updated
special{
value.field = 10,11,12
beginAtLevel = 1
limit = 99
}
1 = TMENU
1{
NO{
doNotLinkIt = 1
stdWrap.cObject = COA
stdWrap.cObject {
10 = TEXT
10{
wrap = <h3>|</h3>
field = seo_title // title
typolink.parameter.field = uid
}
20 = HMENU
20{
wrap = <div class="category attempt-1">|</div>
special = rootline
special.range = 1|1
special.value.field = uid # does not work
1 = TMENU
1.NO.allWrap = |
}
30 = TEXT
30{
wrap = <div class="category attempt-2">|</div>
data = leveltitle : 1 # does not work as expected
}
}
}
}
}
Unfortunately it does not work, because …
special = rootline does not support special.value.
data = leveltitle : 1 uses the ID of the current page, instead of the TMENU item ID.
Does anyone have another approach how I can get the title of the respective category using TypoScript?
Edit: Background information / what this is needed for
With this menu I intend to replace the news module ext:news of an existing project. Instead of news records, pages are now used and this menu creates the list view. Of course a TypoScript page browser will be added.
I would not rebuild the complete menu item generation (NO.doNotLinkIt = 1).
Just use NO.after.cObject = COA.
leveltitle : 1 is correct if you want to have the title for the current page.
The same if you show a rootline menu: it is generated for the current page.
If you want the levelfield for another page you need to build it by yourself.
In typoscript you might use a userfunction. (there is a core function for getting the rootline for a given page id)
If you generate your menu with FLUID you might use a viewhelper. (You might get inspired from this option of viewhelper menu.directory or this option of VH page.breadCrumb in ext:vhs.)
Edit:
you might store the needed information directly in the pagesrecord.
add a new field to the record (or use any unused).
then make sure that each category page contains some page TS_config:
TCADefaults.pages.<yourfield> = CategoryName
With this configuration each new page below will get this value set automatically.
Of course you need to set these values for all existing pages by hand or by some manual queries.
And if the editors are to be prevented from changing this value you need to remove the field from the edit form with this TSConfig on the top-page:
TCEForm.pages.<yourfield>.hide= 1
I have found a pure TypoScript solution that may not be very elegant, but it works:
lib.myMenu = HMENU
lib.myMenu {
special = updated
special{
value.field = 10,11,12
beginAtLevel = 1
limit = 99
}
1 = TMENU
1{
NO{
doNotLinkIt = 1
stdWrap.cObject = COA
stdWrap.cObject {
10 = TEXT
10{
wrap = <h3>|</h3>
field = seo_title // title
typolink.parameter.field = uid
}
20 = HMENU
20{
wrap = <div class="category">|</div>
special = list
special.value.field = pid
1 = TMENU
1{
NO{
doNotLinkIt = 1
stdWrap.override{
# Overwrite it if we are not yet at the category level
if{
# The ID of the page parent to the categories ("Website") is 1618
equals = 1618
value.field = pid
negate = 1
}
cObject = HMENU
cObject{
special = list
special.value.field = pid
1 = TMENU
1.NO.doNotLinkIt = 1
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
If the menu is to go over further levels, the override must of course be nested even deeper.
Edit – Improvements:
RECORDS instead of HMENU: Bernd Wilke suggested in the comments to use CONTENT instead of HMENU to generate the category title. This caused problems in my tests when sysfolders (as subpages of the categories) were used to structure the items. This could be related to the bug/feature #20933 (Enable working with SysFolders in CONTENT). But RECORDS might be comparable. I tried it and was able to improve the render times a little bit (see table below).
lib.myMenu.1.NO.stdWrap.cObject.20 = RECORDS
lib.myMenu.1.NO.stdWrap.cObject.20{
stdWrap.wrap = <div class="category">|</div>
source.field = pid
tables = pages
conf.pages = TEXT
conf.pages {
field = seo_title // title
stdWrap.override{
# Overwrite it if we are not yet at the category level
if{
# The ID of the page parent to the categories ("Website") is 1618
equals = 1618
value.field = pid
negate = 1
}
cObject = RECORDS
cObject{
source.field = pid
tables = pages
conf.pages = TEXT
conf.pages.field = seo_title // title
}
}
}
}
CONTENT instead of HMENU: if no sysfolders are needed (as of TYPO3 10.4 sysfolders should also work)
lib.myMenu.1.NO.stdWrap.cObject.20 = CONTENT
lib.myMenu.1.NO.stdWrap.cObject.20{
stdWrap.wrap = <div class="category">|</div>
table = pages
select {
uidInList.field = pid
pidInList = 0
selectFields = uid, pid, seo_title, title
}
renderObj = TEXT
renderObj {
field = seo_title // title
stdWrap.override{
# Overwrite it if we are not yet at the category level
if{
# The ID of the page parent to the categories ("Website") is 1618
equals = 1618
value.field = pid
negate = 1
}
cObject = CONTENT
cObject{
table = pages
select {
uidInList.field = pid
pidInList = 0
selectFields = uid, pid, seo_title, title
}
renderObj = TEXT
renderObj.field = seo_title // title
}
}
}
}
userFunc instead of HMENU: Bernd Wilke suggested in his answer to use a userfunction. Even if this is not a pure TypoScript solution, I would have liked to test it to be able to compare the performance. The method getRootLine() has unfortunately been marked as deprecated. Since I'm not an extension developer, it's not clear to me yet how to read the category via a userFunc and if this is actually more effective. If I still come across a solution regarding this, it will be added here.
Rendertime: I have test-implemented the menu in the live site (in the existing template) and compared the website render times with and without the output of the categories to see how much the nested menu affects the performance. The values are average values from 10 measurements. I also limited the output to 20 items, which should be a more realistic value per page later on:
mode
20 items
100 items
without category
99 ms
218 ms
categories via HMENU
133 ms
353 ms
categories via RECORDS
132 ms
331 ms
categories via CONTENT
121 ms
255 ms
categories via userFunc
TBD
TBD
You should neither use a separate HMENU nor a userFunc but a simple LOAD_REGISTER within the menu items of the parent level. This generates register entries, that can be added, changed or restored while looping through the different levels of the HMENU structure.
So you don't need the custom code of a PHP function and you won't get the performance penalty of a nested HMENU.
Basically it's shown in the official documentation, but with a CSS class instead of a title. But of course you could hand over other information from the parent to its children the same way.
Here is the example:
10 = COA
10 {
### left menu table column
10 = LOAD_REGISTER
10 {
ulClass = col-left
}
### right menu table column
20 = LOAD_REGISTER
20 {
ulClass = col-right
}
30 = HMENU
30 {
special = list
special.value = 1
1 = TMENU
# ...
3 = TMENU
3 {
stdWrap {
preCObject = COA
preCObject {
10 = RESTORE_REGISTER
}
dataWrap = <ul class="{register:ulClass}">|</ul>
}
wrap =
SPC = 1
SPC {
allStdWrap {
replacement {
10 {
search = ---
replace =
}
}
dataWrap = </ul>|<ul class="{register:ulClass}">
}
}
}
}
}

Assign register value to TYPO3 CASE key

Am making some complex menus and would like to use CASE (or similar) to determine the number of submenus in a given branch in order to determine the style of menu to use.
Code:
5 = HMENU
5 {
entryLevel = -1
1 = TMENU
1 {
expAll = 1
NO = 1
NO {
...
}
IFSUB = 1
IFSUB {
10 = CASE
10 {
key.data = {register:count_menuItems}
1 = COA
1 {
data = {field:title}
data.insertData = 1
}
2 = COA
2 {
data = {field:title}
data.insertData = 1
}
default = COA
default {
data = {field:title}
data.insertData = 1
}
}
wrapItemAndSub = |
}
}
2 = TMENU
2 {
maxItems = 2
expAll = 1
...
}
}
How can I get CASE to work? I've tried it with and without the braces.
you should get more information how to access fields, register and other data in typoscript.
if you have a property you mostly can modify the way to get other information than a constant text.
In your example it is the key property where constants are not meaningful.
if you want to access a field of the 'current' record/data you just use key.field = fieldname
if it is other data you modify it to key.data = register:registername
accessing a field can be done with key.data = field:fieldname
If you want these data connected to other information you could use a wrap:
key.data = register:registername
key.wrap = prefix- | -suffix
Notice: the parts of the wrap are trimmed before they are connected
another way would be an inline notation where you even can use multiple values:
key = {register:registername}-with-{field:fieldname}
key.insertData = 1
here you have two replacements. each has to be wrapped in braces {} and you need to tell TYPO3 that there are replacements to do: insertData = 1
special case TEXTobject:
10 = TEXT
10.value = constant Text
20 = TEXT
20.field = fieldname
30 = TEXT
30.data = register:registername
40 = TEXT
40.value = register is '{register:registername}' and field is '{field:fieldname}'
40.insertData = 1
ADDED:
see the manual of the typoscript data type getText where you can find what else can be used instead of register:
then the manual entry for data which is a property of the function .stdWrap and of type getText.
This entry is followed by the property field stating, it is a shortcut for data = field:
(This explaines why your COA with .data results in anything, as doing a .stdWrap.data on any object will replace the object's content.)
be aware that field (either as property or as key of getText) will select
a field of the current record, which might vary dependent on context:
for page rendering it is the record of the current page (table pages),
for rendering a content element it is the element (table tt_content),
inside a filesProcessor it is a file (table sys_file_reference`),
in the renderObj of CONTENT, RECORDS, or split it is the selction you define.
Found the answer. As far as I can tell, CASE works on stdwrap.cObjects and so the code
10 = CASE
10 {
key.data = {register:count_menuItems}
...
}
should be
stdWrap.cObject = CASE
stdWrap.cObject {
key.data = register:count_menuItems
if.isTrue.data = register:count_menuItems
...
}
This way it works.

TypoScript Menu: USERDEF1 and USERDEF2 states not working for tx_news

This is "my" ages old language switch that also accounts for tx_news and does not link the language if there is no translation for a page or a news item (that's the function of USERDEF):
temp.lang_nav = HMENU
temp.lang_nav {
special = language
special.value = 0,1
special.normalWhenNoLanguage = 0
wrap = |
1 = TMENU
1 {
NO = 1
NO {
linkWrap = <li>|</li>
stdWrap.override = DE || EN
# Build Typolink ourself
doNotLinkIt = 1
stdWrap.typolink.parameter.data = page:uid
stdWrap.typolink.additionalParams = &L=0 || &L=1
stdWrap.typolink.addQueryString = 1
stdWrap.typolink.addQueryString.exclude = L,id,cHash,no_cache
stdWrap.typolink.addQueryString.method = GET
stdWrap.typolink.useCacheHash = 1
stdWrap.typolink.no_cache = 0
}
// Active language
ACT = 1
ACT < .NO
ACT {
stdWrap.typolink.ATagParams = class="active"
}
// = NO + No translation
USERDEF1 = 1
USERDEF1 < .NO
USERDEF1{
//doNotShowLink = 1
stdWrap.typolink >
}
// = ACT + No translation
USERDEF2 = 1
USERDEF2 < .USERDEF1
}
}
Also, I've used a variant according to https://gist.github.com/michelalbers/fb0c2e04af1d6ff94788 that has a more modern syntax.
A user reported that suddenly the USERDEF state doesn't kick in anymore for untranslated news.
Actually, I can't prove this did work for untranslated news before, but I'm quite sure.
What do you think; a bug? Wrong syntax? USERDEF not for news, just for pages? Or could this have never worked at all?
If the last, is there a way to achieve such an effect (don't link to translation for untranslated news)?
Apparently, what I'm asking for is not a feature.
A workaround to prevent users from landing on the global 404 page when using the lang switch on an untranslated item would be to make a separate 404 page for news with a clearer explanation.
If you have set something like
'pageNotFound_handling' => 'USER_FUNCTION:typo3conf/ext/template/Classes/Various/noAccess.php:noAccess->pageNotFound',
in localconf, you can do that work there.

Refer to media field of original language in TYPO3

In TYPO3 6.2 (just upgraded from 4.5) I have a TMENU with Images, using a cObject in NO to build the menu as desired.
It works in the main language, but in the second language's frontend, the images are not rendered - unless they are filled in in the second language's media field.
How do you force FILES to refer to the media field of the original language?
In my case, always. In other cases, a fallback solution may be desired.
temp.menu = COA
temp.menu {
wrap = <div class="teasermenu">|</div>
15 = HMENU
15 {
special = list
//special.value.cObject < temp.displayedpages
// recieves a list, such as:
special.value = 1,3,9
1 = TMENU
1 {
noBlur = 1
maxItems = 16
wrap = <ul>|</ul>
NO {
wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
ATagBeforeWrap = 1
ATagParams = || || || || class="red" |*| |*|
stdWrap.cObject=COA
stdWrap.cObject{
10 = TEXT
10.field = nav_title // title
10.wrap = <strong class="teasermenu_header">|</span></strong>
20=FILES
20{
if{
isInList.field = uid
//value.cObject < temp.displayedpages_wimage
// receives another list, like:
// value = 3,9
}
references {
table=pages
fieldName=media
}
renderObj=IMAGE
renderObj{
file{
height=80
maxH=80
import.data=file:current:publicUrl
}
altText.field=title
titleText.field=title
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
PS there are many media field / FAL fallback related bugs on forge, e.g. this one. But I have a feeling this might be a simpler issue.
mergeIfNotBlank is gone now, the current solution (TYPO3 8.7) seems to be to set
$GLOBALS['TCA']['pages']['columns']['media']['config']['behaviour']['allowLanguageSynchronization'] = 1;
But based on https://forum.typo3.org/index.php/t/217033/-typo3-ug-freiburg-media-feld-in-den-seiteneigenschaften (thanks) there's this snippet. It also works with cropVariants:
temp.bgimg_wide = CONTENT
temp.bgimg_wide{
table = sys_file_reference
select{
pidInList = {$pids.pidHome}
where = tablenames='pages' AND fieldname='media'
orderBy = sorting_foreign
languageField = 0
selectFields = uid_local
max = 1
begin = 0
}
renderObj = FILES
renderObj{
files.stdWrap.field = uid
renderObj = IMG_RESOURCE
renderObj {
file {
import.data = file:current:uid
treatIdAsReference = 1
width = 1600
cropVariant = bgimg_wide
}
}
}
}
}
This works!
With TYPO3 CMS 7.6 you need to exclude field media of table pages from [FE][pageOverlayFields] as set in ~/typo3_src-7.6.10/typo3/sysext/core/Configuration/DefaultConfiguration.php, until it is solved - see forge issue https://forge.typo3.org/issues/65863
Write in your AdditionalConfiguration
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['pageOverlayFields'] = 'uid,doktype,title,subtitle,nav_title,keywords,description,abstract,author,author_email,url,urltype,shortcut,shortcut_mode';
or in your Extension ext_localconf.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['pageOverlayFields'] = str_replace(',media', '', $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['pageOverlayFields']);
Based on Urs' answer, here comes a slight variation.
lib.getCurrentPageMedia = CONTENT
lib.getCurrentPageMedia {
table = sys_file_reference
select{
pinInList = root, this
where = tablenames='pages' AND fieldname='media' AND uid_foreign=###pid###
orderBy = sorting_foreign
languageField = 0
selectFields = uid_local
max = 1
begin = 0
markers {
pid.data = TSFE:id
}
}
renderObj = TEXT
renderObj.stdWrap.field = uid
}
Fluid:
<f:image src="{f:cObject(typoscriptObjectPath:'lib.getCurrentPageMedia')}" alt="" width="400c" height="400c" treatIdAsReference="1" class="img-responsive" />
Advantage: you can define cropping, alt-text, etc. in your template.
You might want to try to set the TCA of the media field to l10n_mode => mergeIfNotBlank .
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/Reference/Columns/Index.html#columns-properties-l10n-mode
Put this into the typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php:
$TCA['pages']['columns']['media']['l10n_mode'] = 'mergeIfNotBlank';
Since this issue is from Februari, you've probably found a solution by now. I just ran into this issue and solved it by including:
$GLOBALS['TCA']['pages_language_overlay']['columns']['media']['l10n_mode'] = 'mergeIfNotBlank';
in my ext_tables.php

Typo3 get content from another Extension

I had an extension called "mbl_newsevent" that work with tt_news. The newsevent ext has his own TS and generates a register button on every news if i enable it. Now the newesevent ext generates a button with a url that contains the current tt_news id.
TS config part:
plugin.tt_news.mbl_newsevent {
registrationLink_typolink {
title.data = LLL:EXT:mbl_newsevent/locallang.xml:registerLinkLabel
parameter = {$powermail.plugin.pid}
parameter.override.field = tx_mblnewsevent_regurl
additionalParams.field = uid
additionalParams.intval = 1
additionalParams.wrap = &tx_powermail_pi1[eventUid]=|
#this returns the correct ID of tt_news for example 99
}
}
But now i need this eventUid in another location of my basic TS. I need this eventUid for my second menu as a parameter
Basic TS:
2 = TMENU
2 {
wrap = <ul class="naviMainLevel2"> | </ul>
NO {
wrapItemAndSub = <li> | </li>
}
ACT = 1
ACT {
wrapItemAndSub = <li class="active"> | </li>
additionalParams.data = GP:tx_ttnews|tt_news
additionalParams.intval = 1
#Here is the part where i need the id from tt_news.mbl_newsevent
#atm it returns &tx_events_pi1[newsUid]=0 correct id would be for example 99
additionalParams.wrap = &tx_events_pi1[newsUid]=|
}
CUR = 1
CUR < .ACT
}
How can i access to another Database (Extension) to get the same id?
temp.xyz = RECORDS
temp.xyz {
tables = tt_news.mbl_newsevent
...
}
