our customer needs super long page titles. in the backend i found Configuration > TCA > pages > columns > title > config > max
so this would be the correct setting to increase the page title length right? but where can i add the mandatory TCA to increase the length and how would it look like?
help is much appreciated
You can override the TCA settings with PageTS (TCEFORM).
Documentation is here: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tsconfig/master/en-us/PageTsconfig/TceForm.html
Example for your issue:
TCEFORM.tt_content.header.config.max = <your value>
But be sure that the table field in the DB may be increased as well.
Then you need to add an ext_tables.sql file in your sitepackage extension and add:
CREATE TABLE pages (
title VARCHAR(<your value) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL
);
Are you sure that this is correct?
My approach is this:
TCEFORM.pages.title.config {
max = 250
size = 250
}
It also works in the form, but it still gets truncated on save.
I have deleted caches.
What have I overlooked?
Is there some way how to hide specific elements on specific page using Typoscript in TYPO3?
The URL is for example: www.mywebsite.com/subpage1
I want to hide menu and footer part only on this subpage1.
Thank you
If the menu and footer are created through TypoScript you can use conditions in TypoScript to overwrite them. For example:
lib.footer = TEXT
lib.footer.value = This is my footer
[globalVar = TSFE:id = 4]
lib.footer >
[global]
In this example the uid of the page where I want to not show the footer is 4.
More on conditions in TypoScript can be found here: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Conditions/Reference.html
A clean way would be to define different page-layouts and assign them to the pages where these elements are not desired. With fluid partials you could recycle most parts of the page and depending on the layout render footer and menu.
As you get a nice inheritance mostly the fields backend_layout and backend_layout_next_level are used. You will find a lot of examples.
fluid handling could be found in typoscript backend_layout_next_level not working.
For templa voila (=TV) you can use a similar attempt: select different TV-templates depending on these fields.
Duplicate the given template, remove footer and menu and insert the new template to the set of given templates.
I have a little problem with TYPO3, i have a navbar (fluid) and want to show a number in there which the user should be able to fill in in the Backend.
I would like to use a typoscript variable to show this number but my question is:
Is there a easy way that a user can input a number which I am able to read in my typoscript without editing the CONSTANTS in the template editor? Like some way the user can input this number in the PAGE section.
You can create a text content element on a page and/or in a column that is not being shown on your webpage and then add it to Typoscript like this:
10 = CONTENT
10 {
table = tt_content
select.orderBy = sorting
select.pidInList = 58
select.where = colPos=3
}
Where 58 is the ID of the page your content element is on, and colPos=3 is the number of the column (in this case, 3 is the "Border"-column)
I'm using TYPO3 since version 3 but I have never tried to customize the TYPO3 BE.
Now, what annoys me more in the BE is that in 'Special Menus' the 'Selected Pages' field displays 3 lines by default. I wish to expand it to at least 10 lines.
Inspecting the BE page with FF Developer Tools shows:
<select id="tceforms-multiselect-57f39f13067b0673730065" size="3" class="formField.
Editing the size value to 10 in the Inspector is exactly what I need.
How could I change that size value in TYPO3?

As suggested deactivating and activating the extension did the trick. BTW no need to use Global. The code I put in ext_tables.php is:
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['pages']['config']['size'] = 10;
You can override the default value by using below lines. You can put that lines into ext_tables.php file in your custom extension.
unset($GLOBALS['TCA']['table_name']['columns']['field_name']['config']['size']);
$GLOBALS['TCA']['table_name']['columns']['field_name']['config']['size'] = 10;
You can override this in your own extension via
$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['columns']['pages']['config']['size'] = 10;
Put it in ext:your_ext/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php
alternative in ext:your_ext/ext_localconf.php

actually the title is the whole question.
I just want to modify the template so that the current page title is automatically shown (i'm working with html templates so I just need the bit of typoscript to get the page title out of the database)
I hope that's possible
It is. It's pretty simple to do. I'll assume you're using TemplaVoilà, because if you're not, you should be :-D
Start off by putting some HTML in your template with a dummy page title. Give it an ID attribute so it's easy to map. Like:
<h1 id="page-title">Page Title Here</h1>
Next, go into TemplaVoilà and map that <h1> element to the content type "TypoScript Object Path". When it prompts you for the object path, you can put in anything you want -- convention is that dynamic content is added in the "lib" namespace, so let's call it lib.pagetitle. When it asks you if you want to map this to "INNER" or "OUTER", choose "INNER" -- that will mean you're just mapping the space BETWEEN the <h1>...</h1> tags. ("OUTER" means you're replacing the whole element, including the tags, which we don't want here because we want this to stay an H1.) Save your template mapping.
Now go into your site's TypoScript template. Here you're going to insert the logic that fills in that space we just mapped with actual content. To insert the page title is a matter of a couple of lines of TypoScript:
lib.pagetitle = TEXT
lib.pagetitle.data = page : title
What this says is "take the space in the template that I mapped to lib.pagetitle. Create a content object in that space of type TEXT. Then fill that content object with the title of the page."
Save your TypoScript template. Now you're done!
This probably sounds complicated at first glance, and it is, but the nice thing about this system is that it's amazingly flexible. Inserting text dynamically is just the beginning. The TypoScript Reference (a.k.a. the "TSRef") has all the details -- look up "getText" to get a flavor, that's the function that makes the "page : title" call in your TypoScript template drop in the page title.
TSRef is your friend. I keep a printed copy of it at my desk -- if you want to make TYPO3 sing, it is your songbook.
I prefer the vhs solution:
{v:page.info(field:'title')}
https://fluidtypo3.org/viewhelpers/vhs/master/Page/InfoViewHelper.html
lib.pagetitle = RECORDS
lib.pagetitle {
source.data = page:uid
tables = pages
conf.pages = TEXT
conf.pages.field = nav_title
}
To get current page title:
lib.pagetitle = TEXT
lib.pagetitle.field=title
For meta data :
Its very important to place meta after header tag when we are gone through mobile compatible website
In order to prevent quirks mode in IE9 I need to add this lines at the very top of every HTML page:
You can write the whole header by yourself, by adding disableAllHeaderCode = 1 to your typoscript or you can hack it by adding your meta tag directly to the head tag:
page.headTag = <head><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
Place this at your typoscript
meta.X-UA-Compatible = IE=edge,chrome=1
httpEquivalent: (Since TYPO3 4.7) If set to 1, the http-equiv attribute is used in the meta tag instead of the “name” attribute. Default: 0.
For more information about TYPO3 stuff you may visit my blog
https://jainishsenjaliya.wordpress.com/2013/10/10/put-meta-tag-on-top-of-header-section-in-typo3/
If you want to use this in a fluid page template, you can also simple use:
{data.title}
to access the page title.
You can current page title by following typoscript:
lib.pagetitle = TEXT
lib.pagetitle.data = page : title
and then use this object to your page using typoscriptObjectPath like following way:
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.pagetitle"/>
If you want to use a fluid only solution, install the VHS extension and you can output the page title without using any TypoScript at all like this:
Tag Example:
<v:page.header.title title="NULL" whitespaceString="' '" setIndexedDocTitle="1">
<!-- tag content - may be ignored! -->
</v:page.header.title>
Inline Example:
{v:page.header.title(title: 'NULL', whitespaceString: '' '', setIndexedDocTitle: 1)}
lib.page_title = CONTENT
lib.page_title {
table = pages
select {
where = uid = 2
}
renderObj = COA
renderObj {
10 = TEXT
10 {
field = title
wrap = <h1 class="page_title">|</h1>
}
20 = TEXT
20 {
field = subtitle
stdWrap.required = 1
stdWrap.wrap = <h5>|</h5>
}
}
}
call the lib.page_title where want to render typoscript with this lines
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath='lib.page_title' />
I hope this helps !!!
The question is quite old but I still want to add something I never read here.
TYPO3 offers many things concerning the header, and it's right that it's also possible to render it completely individual. Nevertheless all the nice options of TYPO3 are more or less disabled by the individual solution.
So first the direct answer on the question:
The default page title can be overridden like this
config.pageTitle.stdWrap.override.cObject < lib.pagetitle
If several page types are defined and the title shall be set individually for each type, the configuration can be noted inside the page-definitions:
page = PAGE
page {
typeNum = 0
config.pageTitle.stdWrap.override.cObject < lib.pagetitle_1
...
}
anotherPage = PAGE
anotherPage {
typeNum = 1
config.pageTitle.stdWrap.override.cObject < lib.pagetitle_2
...
}
Below still a lib.pagetitle which makes a little bit more than only using title or subtitle - it uses news-title if the extension is used on a page:
lib.pagetitle = COA
lib.pagetitle {
10 = TEXT
10 {
// subtitle: used as field for title tag
value.field = subtitle // title
if.isFalse.data = GP:tx_news_pi1|news
}
20 = RECORDS
20 {
if.isTrue.data = GP:tx_news_pi1|news
dontCheckPid = 1
tables = tx_news_domain_model_news
source.data = GP:tx_news_pi1|news
source.intval = 1
conf.tx_news_domain_model_news = TEXT
conf.tx_news_domain_model_news {
field = title
htmlSpecialChars = 1
}
}
}
Now still some background why I think some individual header might not be the best solution:
TYPO3 usually adds several details to the header, that are useful and it's not required to combine those things individually new.
Scripts and stylesheets are organized and can be even by TypoScript compressed and merged. If some syntax is followed it even takes care that a library like jquery is only included once.
TYPO3 has many functions in TypoScript where everything can be defined related to the header and also it can be decided if scripts shall be perhaps never be included at all in the header but instead in the bottom of the page-source.
Metatags can be defined (and overridden by extensions or sub-templates)
Implementing this whole logic manually again in an own template in my opinion is not useful and I think headers should be only disabled for special page-types like AJAX or dynamic PDF-files. This is the primary reason that I consider that option as useful.
Her still the current link for the most recent documentation about the config-options in TypoScript (anchor pagetitle):
