Overriding fluid_styled_content isn't working as expected - typo3

Hei guys,
I've been trying really hard to override the templates, partials, and headers of some default content elements from fluid_styled_content.
For instance, lets say 'Header'.
I also have a data processing class to fetch certain fields from tt_content table to process inside the header.
Anyhow, I can receive this fetched data inside the template. But not in the partials or layouts.
Did anyone ever faced the same?
This was my TS setup :
lib.contentElement {
templateRootPaths {
200 = EXT:my_ext/Resources/Private/Templates/
}
partialRootPaths {
200 = EXT:my_ext/Resources/Private/Partials/
}
layoutRootPaths {
200 = EXT:my_ext/Resources/Private/Layouts/
}
}
//custom content element definition
tt_content {
header < lib.contentElement
header {
templateName = Header
dataProcessing {
1 = VENDOR\MyExt\DataProcessing\ContentProcessor
}
}
}

I assume it's about the order of your typoscript.
in your example you have the code
tt_content {
header < lib.contentElement
:
which copies the lib.contentElement object. it copies the object in that state it has in the moment when the copy operator is detected. any following changes will not be included.
If you want to build a reference, where you can change the referenced ('copied') object afterwards and all those changes should be active too you need to use the reference operator:
tt_content {
header =< lib.contentElement
:

TYPO3: clear cache by tag for custom content element when record in backend is changed

I have a sysfolder with records which get displayed in the frontend via a custom content element.
Now I have the problem that the frontend is not updated when a new record is added or an existing record is changed.
To clear the cache I'm using a hook in ext_localconf.php:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php']['clearCachePostProc']['foobar'] =
\Vendor\Name\Hooks\DataHandler::class . '->clearCachePostProc';
The hook looks like this:
<?php
namespace Vendor\Name\Hooks;
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Cache\CacheManager;
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\SingletonInterface;
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility;
class DataHandler implements SingletonInterface
{
public function clearCachePostProc(array $params): void
{
if (isset($params['table']) && $params['table'] === 'tx_foo_domain_model_bar') {
$cacheManager = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(CacheManager::class);
$cacheManager->flushCachesByTag('1642782027');
}
}
}
And the content element is implemented with FLUIDTEMPLATE and a dataprocessor:
tt_content {
foo_bar =< lib.contentElement
foo_bar {
templateName = myTemplate
stdWrap.cache {
key = tx_foo_domain_model_bar
tags = 1642782027
lifetime = default
}
dataProcessing {
10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\DatabaseQueryProcessor
10 {
table = tx_foo_domain_model_bar
pidInList = {$foo.storage_pid}
as = foobar
}
}
}
}
Everything seems to work but when I hit Cmd+R/Ctrl+R and reload the page or visit it again via the navigation, the page is not updated with the latest content.
I implemented the following solution.
Within the Typoscript Setup add a addPageCacheTag to your custom content element:
tt_content {
foo_bar =< lib.contentElement
foo_bar {
templateName = FooBar
dataProcessing {
10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\DatabaseQueryProcessor
10 {
table = tx_foo_domain_model_bar
pidInList = {$foo.storage_pid}
as = foobar
}
}
stdWrap.addPageCacheTags = foo_bar
}
}
Add the clearCacheCmd to the Page TSConfig from the storage page like:
TCEMAIN.clearCacheCmd = cacheTag:foo_bar
For testing, add this to your Fluid-Template and be sure to test with a separate browser (without BE login):
<div style="color: red;"><f:format.date format="d.m.Y - H:i:s">now</f:format.date></div>
Kudos to https://daniel-siepmann.de/posts/2019/typo3-content-caching.html
You could use the EXT:Fluid Page Cache

This EXT does all the things you need automatically.

Pass a variable to a content object containing a tx_news plugin

This is very similar to my question Counter for mask elements in a TYPO3 column
I need to pass a variable (in my case, the value of cObj:parentRecordNumber which is the counter for the current item in it's column) to the template.
In the main page template:
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.content.pageteasers" />
In typoscript:
lib.content {
pageteasers < styles.content.get
pageteasers {
select {
where = colPos=2
max = 8
}
// this passes the variable elementCounter to the fluid template of the rendered mask content element:
renderObj.mask_teaser {
variables {
elementCounter = TEXT
elementCounter.value = {cObj:parentRecordNumber}
elementCounter.insertData = 1
}
}
// this should pass the same value to a rendered tx_news plugin:
variables {
elementCounter = TEXT
elementCounter.value = {cObj:parentRecordNumber}
elementCounter.insertData = 1
}
// it doesn't. what about these trial & error:
renderObj.list < .variables
renderObj.plugin.tx_news < .variables
renderObj.list.20.news_pi1 < .variables
renderObj.news_pi1 < .variables
// none of these seem to work either
}
}
And then in the rendered CE template (News/List.html)
<f:debug title="" inline="1">{_all}</f:debug>
I don't manage to see the above variable in here. What is the correct way to pass the variable from TS to the news fluid template?
PS Another try was using the Good Old Register
pageteasers < styles.content.get
pageteasers {
select {
where = colPos=2
max = 8
}
append = LOAD_REGISTER
append {
elementCounter = TEXT
elementCounter.value = {cObj:parentRecordNumber}
elementCounter.insertData = 1
}
}
And in the template:
{v:variable.register.get(name: 'elementCounter')}
but that is NULL
Your try via register could work. But you have to care, where you are doing what...
Registers
LOAD_REGISTER is of type string/stdWrap and not a cObject per definition. If you wanna use content based on a cObject, you can declare this via the stdWrap-property (as shown in the examples):
1 = LOAD_REGISTER
1.param.cObject = TEXT
1.param.cObject.stdWrap.data = GP:the_id
So, in your case it should like:
elementCounter.cObject = TEXT
elementCounter.cObject.data = cObj:parentRecordNumber
Appending at the right place
You are trying to use append directly as a property of pageteasers (which is a copy of styles.content.get which is of type CONTENT.
CONTENT does not have an append-property. In addition, you would put the register in front of the entire content, not the individual content elements.
=> It's needed as part of the renderObj, so it's rendered per CE.
The renderObj of CONTENT is of type CASE, which also has no stdWrap-properties directly. But it has a property stdWrap with stdWrap-properties...
Conclusion
So, you can end up with this snippet:
lib.content {
pageteasers {
renderObj {
stdWrap {
append = LOAD_REGISTER
append {
elementCounter.cObject = TEXT
elementCounter.cObject.data = cObj:parentRecordNumber
}
}
}
}
}

Typo3 10.4.4 Gridelements 10.0.0 extension not working

Hey I am pretty new to typo3 and I want to build a website.
I am running version 10.4.4 of TYPO3 with the bootstrap package installed.
I have tried to follow the guide on https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/gridelements/stable/
I have copied the TypoScript into my template setup, but there is no output on the frontend.
Remember I am new to this so I don't understand the TypoScript well yet.
So any ideas to what I could do?
EDIT:
I want to use GriElements so that I can create my own layouts on my page. The standard layouts are good but I need more freedom than what they offer.
I can get output on the frontend without GridElements, but when I use the extension only the content in the GridElements block wont show. If I remove the standard TypoScript from the example on the manual page for this extension i get an error saying "Oops an error occurred! Code:" and then a code that changes every time I update the page.
My TypoScript on my template looks like this:
page.includeCSS.1 = fileadmin/user_upload/template/css/fonts.css
page.includeCSS.theme = fileadmin/user_upload/template/css/custom-theme.scss
# plugin.tx_bootstrappackage._LOCAL_LANG.da.readmore = test (NOT WORKING)

}
# if you want to provide your own templating, just insert a cObject here

The error I get:
Tried resolving a template file for controller action "Standard->3" in format ".html", but none of the paths contained the expected template file (Standard/3.html). The following paths were checked: /httpdocs/typo3conf/ext/bootstrap_package/Resources/Private/Templates/ContentElements/, /httpdocs/typo3conf/ext/gridelements/Resources/Private/Templates/
You probably missed to include the static template of gridelemnts. To do so edit your TS-Root-Template, select in the dropdown at the top "Info/Modify", hit the button "Edit the whole template record", go to tab "Includes" and select gridelements static setup in the Multiselect box on the right.
Please provide more information:
Which static templates have you included at all? Maybe you forgot to include fluid_styled_content?
How does your Typoscript/Flexform setup look like?
For what do you need gridelements?
EDIT: bootstrap_package did not very well together with gridelements in the past. Maybe you should first try to install Benjamin Knott's extension autogrids (see this issue on github for more information)
EDIT 2: Try this Typoscript, it just wraps a section around all elements but maybe you will then see your content in the frontend:
tt_content.gridelements_pi1.20.10.setup {
section < lib.gridelements.defaultGridSetup
section {
wrap >
dataWrap = <section id="c{field:uid}">|</section>
}
}
SOLVED:
I installed an extension that is called "Grids for bootstrap" included it in the template and it worked.
Thnaks for all the help you guys gave!
I think your problem is coming from your fluid code for gridelemnts, you didn't use the right syntax maybe.

Check field on parent page in TMENU?

In a TMENU, can I check the value of a field on the parent page?
I want to do something like this:
lib.mymenu = HMENU
lib.mymenu {
entryLevel=0
1 = TMENU
1 {
...
}
2 < .1
2 {
NO {
stdWrap.wrap {
if.equals.field = parent:myfield
if.value = 1
cObject < lib.specialmenu
}
}
}
}
Does the parent mean the item of the first level in this case? Or in other words: a field in the record which UID is the PID of the current item?
Then, there's a (german) blogpost on how to get dynamically fields via stdWrap:
https://blog.marit.ag/2009/12/15/datenbankfelder-stdwrap-data/
guess you have to implement a custom menuprocessor, or try at least a fluid version of your menu. in plain typoscript i dont know a solution for this.
this link may help you for my suggestion: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-sitepackage/master/en-us/MainMenuCreation/Index.html

Typo3 Fluid Templates - How to set up different templates for different pages

I'm trying to build from scratch a website with typo3 9.5 and setting up different template files for different pages. How do I achieve this?
I'm following the tutorial from https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-sitepackage/master/en-us/TypoScriptConfiguration/Index.html and also tried the solution with no success provided at Typo3 Fluid Templates How to add multiple templates
Now all pages load the Default template and if I set the default cObject to Alternative, it loads the Alternative.html to all pages, even when the TCA at Typo3 is set correctly for each page:
All Pages Back-end Layout to [Default]
Contact set to [Alternative].
_
page = PAGE
page {
typeNum = 0
// Part 1: Fluid template section
10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
10 {
templateName = TEXT
templateName.stdWrap.cObject = CASE
templateName.stdWrap.cObject {
key.data = pagelayout
pagets__default = TEXT
pagets__default.value = Default
default = TEXT
default.value = Default
pagets__alternative = TEXT
pagets__alternative.value = Alternative
alternative = TEXT
alternative.value = Alternative
}
templateRootPaths {
0 = EXT:photo/Resources/Private/Templates/Page/
1 = {$page.fluidtemplate.templateRootPath}
}
partialRootPaths {
0 = EXT:photo/Resources/Private/Partials/Page/
1 = {$page.fluidtemplate.partialRootPath}
}
layoutRootPaths {
0 = EXT:photo/Resources/Private/Layouts/Page/
1 = {$page.fluidtemplate.layoutRootPath}
}
dataProcessing {
10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\MenuProcessor
10 {
levels = 1
includeSpacer = 1
as = mainnavigation
}
}
}
I want to use for instance a default.html template for all pages except contact page, which will have it's own template ( site_template/Resources/Private/Templates/Page/Alternative.html ).
First:
you should use higher numbers for the paths to your templates.
The higher the number the higher the priority for overriding files with the same name.
second:
there is no field pagelayout. either use layout or better backend_layout and backend_layout_next_level (example configuration with the full usage of configuration for subpages).
Your key values (pagets__default and pagets__alternative) already hint to the usage of backend_layout (pagets__* is the usual key for backend layouts defined in page TSconfig).
Probably the example in the documentation needs some correction. (Pull-request commited)
