Typo3 mask extension grid element creation - typo3

I'm new to typo3 mask extension.I need a three column grid and it should contain another mask CE. Is it possible? Im using the very last version of mask 3.0.1 and typo3 version 8.7.4 .

should be no problem. just use three fields of type content, where you enable the appropriate CEs at Allowed content elements.
The rendering in the template is as usual. for the content of the first column use: (assumed you named the field of your first column my_col1)
<f:if condition="{data.tx_mask_my_col1}">
<f:for each="{data.tx_mask_my_col1}" as="data_item">
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.tx_mask.content">{data_item.uid}</f:cObject>
</f:for>
</f:if>

TYPO3 : send data from extension to the backend layout

I made an extension which display some data and I need to send them to my Layout.
In my file list.html I made a left column with some data, but finally I need this column in my layout.
there is some code :
Layouts/MyLayout.html
<f:render partial="Structure/Header" arguments="{_all}"/>
<f:render partial="Menus/Main" arguments="{_all}"/>
<!--the left column should be here -->
<f:render section="default" />
List.html
<f:layout name="Default"/>
<f:section name="main">
<aside>
<h2>Title</h2>
<ul>
<f:for each="{Mydata}" as="data">
<li>{data.title}</li>
</f:for>
</ul>
</aside>
</f:section>
That's why I would need to retrieve my extension data in my layout. It is possible to get I ?
If it's not possible, it is possible to get in list.html the name of the actual backend layout with some typoscript ?
There are multiple options to handle whether there are data for an additional column in layout.
first:
Even if in FLUID the files are stored in three folder (Layouts/, Partials/, Templates/) you are not forced to use it in that way. Meaning: you also can decide the layout in the template files.
In the default layout you just render a mainsection (from the template file). And in the different templates you decide whether a side column exist.
second:
extension data can be provided in multiple ways:
You can do the rendering completely in typoscript - or you use a content element with a plugin. The later would be more transparent for editors.
In your case you can provide a different BackEnd layout where editors can put a plugin in the additional column for that special 'layout'.
The rendering only occurs if that 'layout' is selected and a plugin is stored in that column.

fluid template: render image only if it exists

How can I use f:if to see if an image exists on the server before trying to render it?
I have tried the following without success:
<f:if condition="fileadmin/bilder/Header/{data.title}.jpg">
<f:then>
<f:variable name="imageUri" value="fileadmin/bilder/Header/{data.title}.jpg" />
</f:then>
<f:else>
<f:variable name="imageUri" value="fileadmin/bilder/Header/default.jpg" />
</f:else>
</f:if>
{data.title} works correkt. The Problem is that my condition is wrong. It never goes to the else. Probably my condition is interpret as a string und not as an source.
Description here doesn´t help because my Image is on the server.
Render image in fluid template if it exists?
First of all, why would you have a hardcoded path to a file in fileadmin in a template? That's very uncommon, most of the time you have some kind of relation through TYPO3 (e.g. through the media field in the pages table or something like that).
If this is still something you need, you'd have to write a FileExistsViewHelper that checks if the file exists before using it. Here's the documentation on how to write a custom view helper: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/book-extbasefluid/master/en-us/8-Fluid/8-developing-a-custom-viewhelper.html
You'd need to register your filename as an argument with registerArgument and then prepend the path to the TYPO3 installation (to make it an absolute path) and check for this file with file_exists.
Extend from \TYPO3Fluid\Fluid\Core\ViewHelper\AbstractConditionViewHelper and implement the verdict method.
Your template above just creates a string (as you already guessed).

Typo3 Fluid Template and Grid Elements: not rendering

I am doing first steps with Fluid templates and grid elements in Typo3 8.7.12. So far so good I have a functioning fluid template that works just fine.
Now I wanted to integrate grid elements (first time using it).
I installed the "gridelements" extension and loaded the static template to the page template. I created some grid elements with the wizard. They are showing in the BE and I can fill them with content. All good so far.
Then I added the following to my SETUP (as found here):
tt_content.gridelements_pi1.10 =< lib.stdheader
tt_content.gridelements_pi1.20.10.setup {
  4 < lib.gridelements.defaultGridSetup
 4 {
     cObject = FLUIDTEMPLATE
     cObject {
         file = fileadmin/fluid/templates/grid_2-1-2.html
     }
   }
}
Then I added the columns (column numbers are defined correctly) in my HTML template:
<div class="col-md-6 col-xs-12">
{data.tx_gridelements_view_column_10->f:format.raw()}
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 col-xs-12">
{data.tx_gridelements_view_column_11->f:format.raw()}
</div>
Is there anything more to it? Template is rendered but not the content of the Grid Element CE's.
Did you include the Gridelements static file containing the TypoScript setup for lib.gridelements.defaultGridSetup already?
if so, when checking your setup with the TypoScript Object Browser, what is the value of the userFunc within
tt_content.gridelements_pi1.20.10.userFunc
BTW: You might want to follow the instructions in that article to get a fully Fluid based output for your Gridelements: https://coders.care/blog/tutorial/gridelements-and-cms-8/
I got confused with the template files. I accidentally re-rendered the entire template within the template instead of the grid element template. Thanks to Joey‘s input I finally figured it out.

Is it possible to set by fluid a argument that the typo3 backend uses as input

In the typo3 template I'm using the following line to get the last 5 added items from the backend and this works.
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.lastaddeditmes" />
Only the number of item I want to have it flexible and set in the fluid template. So for example like below where the qty is set to three, is this possible?
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.lastaddeditmes(3)" />
You can't do that in the view, instead you can make a copy of lib.lastaddeditmes in TypoScript and then use it in other place like:
lib.lastaddeditmesOnlyThree < lib.lastaddeditmes
lib.lastaddeditmesOnlyThree.someSetting.items = 3
and in view:
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.lastaddeditmesOnlyThree" />
Remember that TypoScript is just a configuration syntax (not programming language) so it shouldn't give you any huge performance drop.

typo3 : how can i render page's content with fluidpages

In typo3 6.2, with fluidpage extension. (http://fluidtypo3.org/)
I create a page with 2 fluid content elements.
Im trying to render a page's content with fluid template.
This is my code :
<v:content.render column='0' pageUid="3" as="contentElement">
<f:for each="{contentElement}" as="content">
<f:debug title="Debug of MyArray">{contentElement}</f:debug>
</f:for>
</v:content.render>
Edit : sry, my mistake i didnt indeent the last line.
About debug, it change nothing, because contentElement is empty.
This displays nothing. When I check array's data, I got empty array.
Thanks in advance for you help.
