TYPO3 7.6 TCEFORM Custom Layouts doesn't work - typo3

I upgraded TYPO3 6 to 7.6.x and now I can't choose custom layouts in the backend for any content elements in the backend. I only see the default options like "layout 1, layout 2". The reason is obviously that my TCEFORM addings doesn't work..
The following typoscript won't have any effect in a ext-template of a page or in the root setup.ts:
TCEFORM.tt_content.layout.altLabels.2 = Test
TCEFORM.tt_content.layout.removeItems = 2,3
TCEFORM.tt_content.layout.addItems.5 = New Item
I know the problem description is a bit inaccurate. But I don't see the relevant infos which u need. Can u give me an advice what I have to check? Are there known conflicts with extension like fluidcontent, css_styled_content or so?

TypoScript configuring the back end is (though TypoScript by syntax) often called TSConfig and can be added either in page records or via user settings but never in extension templates or similar.
Configuring TCEFORM is usually done in page properties. To add, open page properties of your root page (or the topmost page of the subtree you want to configure) and add your code there.
As in front-end TypoScript you can swap your code to external files.

You need to add this typoscript on Root Page in Page TSconfig.
Edit root page properties and add your typoscript in Resources tab in Page TSConfig section like below image, so it's work fine.

Show other field than title for some page types in TYPO3 backend page tree

We have an extension in TYPO3 8.7, which we're updating to TYPO3 10.4. One thing the extension does is alter the page tree in the backend so for some page types a different field than title is shown. For TYPO3 8 we're using a hook for that: $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/tree/pagetree/class.t3lib_tree_pagetree_dataprovider.php']['postProcessCollections'] where we could loop through the page tree nodes, check the doktype and replace the text.
The page tree has been completely rewritten in TYPO3 9, so this hook doesn't exist anymore. I've looked in the new TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\Page\TreeController class, but don't see any Signal Slot or PSR-14 event in that class we can use.
Is there a way to manipulate the page tree in this way in TYPO3 10?
If you use the Navigation Title field (nav_title) provided by TYPO3 out of the box, you can use the Page TSConfig option showNavTitle to prefer that in the page tree if set for a page:
pageTree {
showNavTitle = 1
}
If nav_title is empty, the regular title is shown instead.

How to set up a TypoScript Playground in Typo 3?

How can one play around with TypoScript code shown in documentations about TypoScript?
Tested with a local Typo3 test instance, Typo3 version 9.5.5, Official Introduction Package installed.
In the backend, create a new page in the tree. Rightclick -> enable it (the red overlay should disappear). Make sure it is selected in the tree.
Click on the blue Template button on the left. Usually it will show you the blue No Template message.
Make sure on the top Info/Modify is selected from the drop down.
Click the gray + (New record) button under the drop down.
On the bottom, click Edit the whole template record.
Optionally give it a speaking template and website title, like 'Playaround' and 'Play Around'.
Optionally, under tab Options -> Clear, select Constants and Setup - this will clear everything this Template has inherited from parent templates, but will also disable the debug infos at the bottom of the frontend for this page (if you have installed the Official Introduction Package).
Under the tab General -> text entry Setup, enter the following TypoScript:
page = PAGE
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value = Hello World
press the Save and then the View button.
A new tab opens, showing you the frontend for your page, printing the text 'Hello World'.
Now you can play around with the code examples given in eg. the TypoScript Reference.
Funnily enough, I just found out that Typoscript is by definition not a programming language, but a configuration description. That's why Typo3 is needed as a substructure for this, I think. There seem to be online demos of Typo3 on the net, but I don't know whether they are up to date and whether you can test TypoScript there. Therefore access local containers / installations as suggested. Or if the possibility exists a dev subdomain.

Flux and TYPO3 6.2.7 / 6.2.9

I tried the latest versions of flux in a fresh TYPO3 Instalaton 6.2.7 and 6.2.9.
I used the same templates for fluidcontent and fluidpages and it dont work properly.
The Page Grids dont work. (The default TYPO3 Grids are shown)
And the grids in the content elements dont work too.
Is there a solution for this?
If it shows the default TYPO3 columns, you probably did not select the fluidpages backend layout in the page record. In recent fedext/TYPO3 versions, you need to edit the properties of your root page and set both "Backend Layout (this page only)" and "Backend Layout (subpages of this page)" to "Fluidpages" in the "Appearance" tab

Preferred way to add an extensions into Fluid Powered TYPO3 template

im working with Claus' Fluid Powered TYPO3 and I'm quiet happy with it. At the moment I have to implement a template wich should contain another extension (e.g. news) in the sidebar.
What is the preferred way to implement this.
My idea was to add the f:cObject ViewHelper and insert the extension in that way.
Is this the correct approach?
Thx
Markus
This depends on the type of template you are building:
Page templates should have proper content areas into which you can insert content. If the content needs to be shared, you have a few options: a) create the element in a sys folder and reference it from your Flux form settings then use v:content.render to render it by UID. b) Place any number of shared elements in a sys folder and render all by PID. c) Use content sliding in a column in your template which is there in all templates and is designed to contain elements which "slide" to every subpage (and can also be edited on subpages if editor has access).
Content templates can use flux:grid with flux:form.column, or flux:form.content as a shortcut to quickly make a single column, to add a content area, then flux:content.render to render those elements. This allows you to control that gets rendered around the plugin.
Plugin templates can associate a Flux form and use the steps described in point 2.
I think you're looking for 1a) or 1c) in this case.

TYPO3 with TemplaVoila missing Backend Content View

After setting up TemplaVoila like ever i end up in this view.
I set up TV with the wizard. all example pages and content elements were there (i deleted them after)
but they werent visible in Page view. also there are no "new contentelement" icons and all that stuff.
Heres the typoscript:
page = PAGE
page.typeNum = 0
page.10 = USER
page.10.userFunc = tx_templavoila_pi1->main_page
No errors, installed everything like 20 times before. Just another TYPO3 Version 4.6.3 - but theres nothing to if there are some conflicts with TV and TYPO3 4.6.3
Check your TemplaVoila mapping. This usually happens when you don't have an entity for content elements mapped.
