Insert after navbar - typo3

I'm using Typo3 6.2.15 with bootstrap_package.
I have inserted language bar after shopping basket. How to insert after navbar instead?
lib.navigation.basket.20 < lib.language
Screenshot from DOM: link

Have a look at template EXT:bootstrap_package/Resources/Private/Layouts/Page/Default.html. There you should see the lines
<f:render partial="Navigation/Main" arguments="{_all}"/>
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.navigation.breadcrumb"/>
You can overwrite this template in TypoScript constants:
page.fluidtemplate.layoutRootPath = EXT:yourExt/Resources/Private/Layouts/Page/
In the new template you now can make any modifications you want.
The best will be, you create a new TypoScript object for the basket:
lib.basket = TEXT
lib.basket.value = whatever
Then, you can arrange the contents in the layout template as you wish:
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.basket"/>
<f:render partial="Navigation/Main" arguments="{_all}"/>
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.language"/>
Don't assign the TypoScript objects to other TypoScript objects (like you do with "lib.navigation.basket.20 < lib.language"), modify the templates (but do not modify the original templates EXT:bootstrap_package, create your own template storage)!

Render overridden fluid template

I want to override an extension's fluid template in Typo3 with my own template. My own template contains an if-condition. If not met, I want to include/render the extension's template (i.e. the overridden template) instead.
The actual case: I'm using the Typo3 News Extension which allows custom "template layouts". I want to add my custom template layout but also keep the News Extension's default template:
<!-- my_site_package/Resources/Private/Extensions/News/Templates/News/List.html -->
<f:if condition="{settings.templateLayout} == 2">
<f:then>
My specific list view for news entries
<ul>
<li>
...
</li>
</ul>
</f:then>
<f:else>
<!--
Include the original template here, e.g.
EXT:news/Resources/Private/Templates/Styles/Twb5/Templates/News/List.html
-->
</f:else>
</f:if>
How can I include / render the overridden template itself?
Fluid Is not able to Render the "Original Template" as there might be any number of TemplateRootpaths providing the Template. what you could do:
if the original Template is Part of an extension you controll, best to move the "Repeating" parts to an Partial. and let the Original Template use this partial as well.
if the original template is part of an extension you do not controll. (eg by a third party) you should copy the orignal template as partial in your Extension and then render this Partial. maybe ad a comment that this is an 1:1 copy of the original and shoud not be modified.
You can create another template layouts using page TSConfig, Define this TS in your root Page TSconfig (inside Resources) Tab.
plugin.tx_news {
templateLayouts {
1 = Homepage
2 = Specific list
}
}
then in your template you will get selected template value here in case 1 or 2.

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.

How to use usage of Appearnce tab of Mask CE in TYPO3?

When adding Mask content element it doesn't reflect some setting of the Appearance tab at front-end, like Layout, Frame, Space Before or After, also it doesn't include the uid of content element. How can I make usage of these fields?
By default Mask elements do not use standard wrapping for rendering the content element, fortunately you can easily access them within data variable which contains array of tt_content.
To check what fields of tt_content are available just put the line in FE template of your Mask element:
<f:debug>{data}</f:debug>
So you can make the wrapper div by yourself using simple Fluid syntax
<div class="
{f:if(condition: data.layout, then: 'frame-layout-{data.layout}')}
{f:if(condition: data.frame_class, then: 'frame-{data.frame_class}')}
{f:if(condition: data.space_before_class, then: 'frame-space-before-{data.space_before_class}')}
{f:if(condition: data.space_after_class, then: 'frame-space-after-{data.space_after_class}')} ">
<!-- your markup here -->
</div>
You can use the layouts like fluid_styled_content does - it takes care of headers, frames, spaceBefore, etc. This is also the easiest way.
First step: define the layout directories in TypoScript:
lib.maskContentElement.layoutRootPaths.5 = EXT:fluid_styled_content/Resources/Private/Layouts/
lib.maskContentElement.partialRootPaths.5 = EXT:fluid_styled_content/Resources/Private/Partials/
Second step: use the layout in your template:
<html xmlns:f="http://typo3.org/ns/TYPO3/CMS/Fluid/ViewHelpers" data-namespace-typo3-fluid="true">
<f:layout name="Default" />
<f:section name="Main">
<!-- your markup here -->
</f:section>
</html>
This also works for DCE (with corresponding TypoScript path)
Of course you can copy the layouts and partials to your theme path and make changes there, but I recommend sticking to the core functionality.

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.
