TYPO3 Extbase: Set storagepid for Backend Module - typo3

I have written a small extension that provide news for Backend User.
Ist is just 2 Parts. One part showing the news for all BE User as a own Module, and the other part are create and edit functions provided by the TCA.
To work with the TCA forms and the default extbase getter, i need the correct storagePid. I can't set them via TypoScript, because I'm never in a page context.
My Idea was to use the Plugin settings with the file ext_conf_template.txt
# cat=persistence/enable; type=int; label=Storage pid
storagePid = 4457
But how can I tell TYPO3 to look at this Settings?
At least Repository->findAll() must respect it

Normally you would define this using TypoScript:
module.tx_yourextensionkey.persistence.storagePid = 123
Not being in a page context is not a blocker as long as you place the configuration on the first root TypoScript template (or include the TypoScript via other means which cause global inclusion not specific to any sys_template record or page tree location).

Maybe not the best solution, but it works.
I have written my own function in the repository with the pid as parameter.
I'm using the TYPO3 Query builder.
With $query->equals('pid', $pid); I get entries with my pid.
And with $query->getQuerySettings()->setRespectStoragePage(false); the default pid will be ignored.
And as the last step. My Controller gets the pid from the Settings, unserialize($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['extConf']['my_extension']['storagePid']); an gives it to the function.

How to get the Log In Form on every page? (for example in footer) Typo3

Is there a way to get the Log In Form for Frontend User on every page? I would prefer the footer.
And if someone is logged in you can see the Log Out Button.
Is this possible without an extension?
You can copy the default felogin output to wherever you want on your template. For example use lib.login, copy the plugin.tx_felogin_pi1 into it, change the template and you're fine.
lib.login < plugin.tx_felogin_pi1
lib.login.templateFile = path/to/your/template/file
More you can see in the official documentation: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/felogin/8.7/Configuration/Index.html
In general there are three options to include a CE (e.g. the Login-form) on all pages:
use typoscript to generate the CE. Normally the CEs are defined in tt_content, from where you could copy the base configuration and adapt it. For some plugins you also find a complete configuration beyond lib (for newer extensions there you only find the settings). All the configuration must be done in typoscript.
use typoscript to render the content of a special page/ column. In this variant you have a special page only for content referenced somewhere else. Advantage: you could configure the CE in the usual way. Try to avoid referencing CEs by uid as an editor might disable or delete the current element(s) and insert a new one which would not be rendered.
use a special column in your root page and inherit the content to all subpages. Advantage: you could change the inherited content easily on each page (if this column is available in the current backend layout).
example for 3:
variables {
footer_content < styles.content.get
footer_content.select.where = colPos = 15
footer_content.slide = -1
}

Manage hierarchy / enforce priority of TS-templates

Well, there is actually another guy with exact the same problem. But until today, they didn't come up with a solution, that's why I'm asking it once again.
My entire TS is included by an extension in TYPO3 7.6.8. This works fine except with indexed_search. The TS inside my resources EXT get overwritten by the indexed_search default TS.
This is the order of the TS inside the Template-Analyzer:
SYS: TYPO3_CONF_VARS:FE:defaultTypoScript
EXT:fluid_styled_content/Configuration/TypoScript/...
... a bunch of other third party extensions ...
EXT:indexed_search/Configuration/TypoScript
EXT:templates_ext/Resources/Private/TypoScript
extbase
fluid
extensionmanager
belog
beuser
felogin
indexed_search
sys_note
realurl
So #7 is the extension which includes all my TS but it gets overwritten by #14. The only way to configure the indexed_search is inside the setup of the page template (which comes after all those above). But I want to avoid that to keep things clean.
Is there a way to prioritize a certain TS so that it doesn't get overwritten?
Open the TypoScript record, switch to the tab "Includes", at the bottom you will find the field Static Template Files from TYPO3 Extensions:. Select the value Include before all static templates if root flag is set.
Try putting the TS from your template extension inside the root page Setup field like this (adjust the path if necessary, your example says Resources/Private/TypoScript?):
<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source="FILE:EXT:templates_ext/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.ts">
This should make sure that it is included AFTER all the other includes (I assume you included those via the includes tab?)

Fluidpages Flux Configuration inheritance incomplete

I'm currently using TYPO3 6.1.8-dev to build a flux/fluidpages (GitHub Master) powered template and managed to have it running on the root pages, though, I have issues with the sub-pages, in terms of value inheritance.
I've implemented the following scenario:
A Flux Flexform Configuration is used, if there is no TypoScript override variable set, retrieved from TS Setup.
The Flexform fields have the following names:
gridsettings.topRow_use (checkbox)
gridsettings.topRow_cols (select)
After the Flexform Configuration, I use these fields to build the backend grid, after I mix in some static values of a TypoScript configuration with:
{v:iterator.merge(a:'{gridsettings}', b:'{tssettings}') -> v:var.set(name:'gridsettings')}
This works for every page with explicit settings in the page properties, but not for sub-pages, which should just inherit the parents settings.
In the case of sub-pages the gridsettings array is null, and only my TS settings are visible.
I'd like to have the convenience to just create a new sub-page, and add content to the inherited backend-layout grid without any further interaction in the page settings.
How can I solve this issue?
Two parts to this:
1) To solve the problem that you manually must merge TS with FlexForm settings, use the prefix settings. in all your field names. This special, reserved variable name will be used by both Extbase and Fluid without requiring you to transfer it, and your FlexForm settings will be merged (on top of) your TS settings.
2) Inheritance requires the exact same page template on parent and child page, or that child page sets parent decides as option for which template to use. There could be other causes for failing inheritance (for example, the use of default on any of your fields - since you don't include your Flux form structure this is impossible to determine) but mismatching parent/child template is the most common. Also, make sure your Flux is up-to-date; there have been bugfixes recently related to inheritance.

Typo3: Reference about TSFE array

Where can be found references about the $GLOBALS['TSFE'] variable for typo3?
For example some code snippets report that "TSFE:id" is the id of the current page, but where can I find the reference about this variables?
There is none. Really :-(.
But you also must know that $GLOBALS['TSFE'] (TypoScript Frontend) is not just an array containing some information, TSFE also consists of objects that can be used by extensions or in TypoScript context to access data from the current page or user. E.g.
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->sys_page is an instance of \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Page\PageRepository
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user is an instance of \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Authentication\FrontendUserAuthentication
So basically the documentation is spread all over the TYPO3 documentation. You will also realize that a lot of the information can be accessed or used by TypoScript or TYPO3 API without needing to parse the TSFE array.
There used to be a (incomplete) section on TYPO3's wiki, but it seems to be gone now. You can find it on the wayback machine though:
https://web.archive.org/web/20130621221807/http://wiki.typo3.org/TSref/getText
The only online "documentation" that I know of is the TYPO3 source of the TypoScript Frontend Controller (a.k.a. TSFE):
https://api.typo3.org/TYPO3_8-7/_typo_script_frontend_controller_8php_source.html
It's all of the public properties you can access directly via TS:
10 = TEXT
10.data = TSFE:fe_user|user|username

TYPO3 extension: how to find certain TS setting

I found in typo3 admin side(/typo3), you can have two ways to set up TS,
you can set up through template->root, I think TS here will affect the whole site.
you can set up through template->certain page, it will only affect this page.
So my question is:
If I want to find where(which page) has TS setting such as : code = LIST, how could I do?
Use Web > Template module it has tools, you can for an example use Template Analyzer for the search
Try querying the database in phpMyAdmin or similar. The following looks in Template Setup:
SELECT pid, config, constants
FROM sys_template
WHERE config LIKE '%code = LIST%'
Replace config with constants to look in Template Constants. pid is the page ID.
If it is not set in the TypoScript, it perhaps has been set in the plugin itself. Just check the plugin content element itself.
In the Template module, go to the page where the setting is in effect.
Use the TSOB (Typo Script Object Browser) to search for "list":
This must show you all TS for this page that contains "list".
If you don't see the setting you can run a cmd/ctrl-F Search over the entire results.
You would have to search for "[code] = LIST".
Which will lead you to the following entry:
Hovering over the label will produce the above tooltip. Copy the line number.
Now change to the Template Analyzer. Here, you can click through all cascading templates and search for the line number:
This is definitely the line that sets that value.
From the "Template hierarchy" tree you will easily find the template that contains the setting.
