I'm using typoscript go get the first file out of a page. This works and is out of the documentation. But the documentation doesn't tell something about a fallback if no files are found.
lib.files = FILES
lib.files {
references {
table = pages
fieldName = media
}
file =
begin = 0
maxItems = 1
renderObj = TEXT
renderObj {
value = URL: {file:current:publicUrl}
insertData = 1
}
}
A naive .if.isNull failed at the first attpent. Is there a possibilty to define a fallback if the FILES-Object is empty?
Mh,
try to make a second object and check there if lib.files is filled with data.

lib.files = FILES
lib.files {
references {
table = pages
fieldName = media
}
file =
begin = 0
maxItems = 1
renderObj = TEXT
renderObj {
value = URL: {file:current:publicUrl}
insertData = 1
}
}
lib.fileFallback = COA
lib.fileFallback {
10 < lib.files
20 = TEXT
20 {
value = Do something
stdWrap.if.isFalse.cObject < lib.fileFallback.10
}
}
I am using this technique often to slide through pages for slideshow objects.
Let me know, if it is working.
You should check the TypoScript Reference stdWrap.ifEmpty.
In your case the code should look like this
lib.files {
# ....
stdWrap.ifEmpty.cObject = IMAGE
stdWrap.ifEmpty.cObject{
file = fileadmin/.../my_image.png
}
# ....
}
You can use every cObject you want.

Am making some complex menus and would like to use CASE (or similar) to determine the number of submenus in a given branch in order to determine the style of menu to use.
Code:
5 = HMENU
5 {
entryLevel = -1
1 = TMENU
1 {
expAll = 1
NO = 1
NO {
...
}
IFSUB = 1
IFSUB {
10 = CASE
10 {
key.data = {register:count_menuItems}
1 = COA
1 {
data = {field:title}
data.insertData = 1
}
2 = COA
2 {
data = {field:title}
data.insertData = 1
}
default = COA
default {
data = {field:title}
data.insertData = 1
}
}
wrapItemAndSub = |
}
}
2 = TMENU
2 {
maxItems = 2
expAll = 1
...
}
}
How can I get CASE to work? I've tried it with and without the braces.
you should get more information how to access fields, register and other data in typoscript.
if you have a property you mostly can modify the way to get other information than a constant text.
In your example it is the key property where constants are not meaningful.
if you want to access a field of the 'current' record/data you just use key.field = fieldname
if it is other data you modify it to key.data = register:registername
accessing a field can be done with key.data = field:fieldname
If you want these data connected to other information you could use a wrap:
key.data = register:registername
key.wrap = prefix- | -suffix
Notice: the parts of the wrap are trimmed before they are connected
another way would be an inline notation where you even can use multiple values:
key = {register:registername}-with-{field:fieldname}
key.insertData = 1
here you have two replacements. each has to be wrapped in braces {} and you need to tell TYPO3 that there are replacements to do: insertData = 1
special case TEXTobject:
10 = TEXT
10.value = constant Text
20 = TEXT
20.field = fieldname
30 = TEXT
30.data = register:registername
40 = TEXT
40.value = register is '{register:registername}' and field is '{field:fieldname}'
40.insertData = 1
ADDED:
see the manual of the typoscript data type getText where you can find what else can be used instead of register:
then the manual entry for data which is a property of the function .stdWrap and of type getText.
This entry is followed by the property field stating, it is a shortcut for data = field:
(This explaines why your COA with .data results in anything, as doing a .stdWrap.data on any object will replace the object's content.)
be aware that field (either as property or as key of getText) will select
a field of the current record, which might vary dependent on context:
for page rendering it is the record of the current page (table pages),
for rendering a content element it is the element (table tt_content),
inside a filesProcessor it is a file (table sys_file_reference`),
in the renderObj of CONTENT, RECORDS, or split it is the selction you define.
Found the answer. As far as I can tell, CASE works on stdwrap.cObjects and so the code
10 = CASE
10 {
key.data = {register:count_menuItems}
...
}
should be
stdWrap.cObject = CASE
stdWrap.cObject {
key.data = register:count_menuItems
if.isTrue.data = register:count_menuItems
...
}
This way it works.
The official TYPO3 Documentation explains how to create (or copy) and use a lib.dynamicContent to render columns into a Fluidtemplate.
I do not understand exactly whats going on in this example.
The TypoScript there is:
lib.dynamicContent = COA
lib.dynamicContent {
10 = LOAD_REGISTER
10.colPos.cObject = TEXT
10.colPos.cObject {
field = colPos
ifEmpty.cObject = TEXT
ifEmpty.cObject {
value.current = 1
ifEmpty = 0
}
}
20 = CONTENT
20 {
table = tt_content
select {
orderBy = sorting
where = colPos={register:colPos}
where.insertData = 1
}
}
90 = RESTORE_REGISTER
}
I use this snippet in a ton of TYPO3 projects and often had asked myself whats going on there.
I have changed this by experimenting a bit and ended with:
lib {
dynamicContent = COA
dynamicContent {
10 = CONTENT
10 {
table = tt_content
select {
orderBy = sorting
where {
data = field:colPos
wrap = colPos=|
}
}
}
}
}
That seems to do "exactly the same" thing - it outputs my content when called via cObject ViewHelper.
Can somebody explain if or why this is the worse way to render Content?
Here's the link to the lib.dynamicContent-doc: https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-fluid-styled-content/master/en-us/Installation/InsertingContentPageTemplate/Index.html#based-on-the-fluidtemplate-content-object-cobj
Here you go!
you can try this,
# Clear out any constants in this reserved room!
styles.content >
# get content
styles.content.get = CONTENT
styles.content.get {
table = tt_content
select.orderBy = sorting
select.where = colPos=0
}
# Left Column
styles.content.getLeft < styles.content.get
styles.content.getLeft.select.where = colPos=1
# Right content
styles.content.getRight < styles.content.get
styles.content.getRight.select.where = colPos=2
Also, you can use variable in the fluid page object, check this out:
lib.pageTemplate = FLUIDTEMPLATE
lib.pageTemplate {
variables {
content = CONTENT
content {
table = tt_content
select.orderBy = sorting
select.where = colPos=0
}
contentRight = CONTENT
contentRight {
table = tt_content
slide = -1
select.orderBy = sorting
select.where = colPos=2
}
}
}

Typo3 7.6 typoscript problems with markers
Hope this make sense, Cheer...!
You should look at this snippet together with some information about the Fluid view helper <f:cObject> which can be found here: https://docs.typo3.org/other/typo3/view-helper-reference/9.5/en-us/typo3/fluid/latest/CObject.html
As you can see there are the parameters data, currentValueKey and table that will be handed over to the typoscriptObjectPath, which is why the snippet makes perfect sense. The reason is, that it's a bit hard to put the different options into the where clause of the CONTENT object. So it increases readability and those registers can be easily extended.
So the register in this example is used to put in either the value of the data field colPos or if that is empty it will take the current value from the currentValueKey and if that is empty too it will fall back to a value of 0 to make sure the query won't produce an exception.
lib.dynamicContent = COA
lib.dynamicContent {
10 = LOAD_REGISTER
10.colPos.cObject = TEXT
10.colPos.cObject {
field = colPos
ifEmpty.cObject = TEXT
ifEmpty.cObject {
value.current = 1
ifEmpty = 0
}
}
20 = CONTENT
20 {
table = tt_content
select {
orderBy = sorting
where = colPos={register:colPos}
where.insertData = 1
}
}
90 = RESTORE_REGISTER
}
We used a modified version of that snippet to sneak in some more parameter values for the CONTENT object.
So we can hand over a data field pageUid, if that is not set we will use the uid of the current page. This will be overriden if the current or the target page is configured to show content from another page and finally we can trigger a slide with another data field.
lib.dynamicContent = COA
lib.dynamicContent {
5 = LOAD_REGISTER
5 {
colPos.cObject = TEXT
colPos.cObject {
field = colPos
ifEmpty.cObject = TEXT
ifEmpty.cObject {
value.current = 1
ifEmpty = 0
}
}
pageUid.cObject = TEXT
pageUid.cObject {
field = pageUid
ifEmpty.data = TSFE:id
}
contentFromPid.cObject = TEXT
contentFromPid.cObject {
data = DB:pages:{register:pageUid}:content_from_pid
data.insertData = 1
}
}
20 = CONTENT
20 {
table = tt_content
slide = -1
slide.if.isTrue.field = slide
select {
includeRecordsWithoutDefaultTranslation = 1
orderBy = sorting
where = {#colPos}={register:colPos}
where.insertData = 1
pidInList.data = register:pageUid
pidInList.override.data = register:contentFromPid
}
}
90 = RESTORE_REGISTER
}
This enables us to make use of the <f:cObject> view helper while triggering additional parameters just by handing over some more values within the data array.
In TYPO3 6.2 (just upgraded from 4.5) I have a TMENU with Images, using a cObject in NO to build the menu as desired.
It works in the main language, but in the second language's frontend, the images are not rendered - unless they are filled in in the second language's media field.
How do you force FILES to refer to the media field of the original language?
In my case, always. In other cases, a fallback solution may be desired.
temp.menu = COA
temp.menu {
wrap = <div class="teasermenu">|</div>
15 = HMENU
15 {
special = list
//special.value.cObject < temp.displayedpages
// recieves a list, such as:
special.value = 1,3,9
1 = TMENU
1 {
noBlur = 1
maxItems = 16
wrap = <ul>|</ul>
NO {
wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
ATagBeforeWrap = 1
ATagParams = || || || || class="red" |*| |*|
stdWrap.cObject=COA
stdWrap.cObject{
10 = TEXT
10.field = nav_title // title
10.wrap = <strong class="teasermenu_header">|</span></strong>
20=FILES
20{
if{
isInList.field = uid
//value.cObject < temp.displayedpages_wimage
// receives another list, like:
// value = 3,9
}
references {
table=pages
fieldName=media
}
renderObj=IMAGE
renderObj{
file{
height=80
maxH=80
import.data=file:current:publicUrl
}
altText.field=title
titleText.field=title
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
PS there are many media field / FAL fallback related bugs on forge, e.g. this one. But I have a feeling this might be a simpler issue.
mergeIfNotBlank is gone now, the current solution (TYPO3 8.7) seems to be to set
$GLOBALS['TCA']['pages']['columns']['media']['config']['behaviour']['allowLanguageSynchronization'] = 1;
But based on https://forum.typo3.org/index.php/t/217033/-typo3-ug-freiburg-media-feld-in-den-seiteneigenschaften (thanks) there's this snippet. It also works with cropVariants:
temp.bgimg_wide = CONTENT
temp.bgimg_wide{
table = sys_file_reference
select{
pidInList = {$pids.pidHome}
where = tablenames='pages' AND fieldname='media'
orderBy = sorting_foreign
languageField = 0
selectFields = uid_local
max = 1
begin = 0
}
renderObj = FILES
renderObj{
files.stdWrap.field = uid
renderObj = IMG_RESOURCE
renderObj {
file {
import.data = file:current:uid
treatIdAsReference = 1
width = 1600
cropVariant = bgimg_wide
}
}
}
}
}
This works!
With TYPO3 CMS 7.6 you need to exclude field media of table pages from [FE][pageOverlayFields] as set in ~/typo3_src-7.6.10/typo3/sysext/core/Configuration/DefaultConfiguration.php, until it is solved - see forge issue https://forge.typo3.org/issues/65863
Write in your AdditionalConfiguration
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['pageOverlayFields'] = 'uid,doktype,title,subtitle,nav_title,keywords,description,abstract,author,author_email,url,urltype,shortcut,shortcut_mode';
or in your Extension ext_localconf.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['pageOverlayFields'] = str_replace(',media', '', $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['pageOverlayFields']);
Based on Urs' answer, here comes a slight variation.
lib.getCurrentPageMedia = CONTENT
lib.getCurrentPageMedia {
table = sys_file_reference
select{
pinInList = root, this
where = tablenames='pages' AND fieldname='media' AND uid_foreign=###pid###
orderBy = sorting_foreign
languageField = 0
selectFields = uid_local
max = 1
begin = 0
markers {
pid.data = TSFE:id
}
}
renderObj = TEXT
renderObj.stdWrap.field = uid
}
Fluid:
<f:image src="{f:cObject(typoscriptObjectPath:'lib.getCurrentPageMedia')}" alt="" width="400c" height="400c" treatIdAsReference="1" class="img-responsive" />
Advantage: you can define cropping, alt-text, etc. in your template.
You might want to try to set the TCA of the media field to l10n_mode => mergeIfNotBlank .
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/Reference/Columns/Index.html#columns-properties-l10n-mode
Put this into the typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php:
$TCA['pages']['columns']['media']['l10n_mode'] = 'mergeIfNotBlank';
Since this issue is from Februari, you've probably found a solution by now. I just ran into this issue and solved it by including:
$GLOBALS['TCA']['pages_language_overlay']['columns']['media']['l10n_mode'] = 'mergeIfNotBlank';
in my ext_tables.php
i want to add the language id in a typolink
so far
LOGO = COA
LOGO {
10 = TEXT
10 {
value = logo
typolink {
parameter = 116
additionalParams = &L={$config.sys_language_uid}
}
}
}
if L=4 it's working
but if i use L={$config.sys_language_uid} it gets ignored altogether
same with L=GP:L
and L=GPvar:L
what would be the proper syntax here
working if i do something like
additionalParams = COA
additionalParams {
10 = TEXT
10.data = GP : L
10.intval = 1
10.wrap = &L=|
}
You do not need to do that on your own. With the following global TypoScript configuration the parameter L will added to every link:
config.linkVars = L(int)
So, if you use HMENU.special = language this will be managed on the switch automatically, too:)
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Setup/Config/Index.html
I do not know about {$config.sys_language_uid}, but your code will output it as plain text. In order to use variables like {GP:L}, you got to dataWrap it or insert "insertData" after the value.
10 = TEXT
10 {
value = logo
typolink {
parameter = 116
additionalParams.dataWrap = &L={GP:L}
}
}
OR (the best way I'd say):
10 = TEXT
10 {
value = logo
typolink {
parameter = 116
additionalParams.cObject = TEXT
additionalParams.cObject {
wrap = &L=|
data = GP:L
}
}
}
Using {TSFE:sys_language_uid} might be a better option if you are querying the database.
There is no need to make a cObject or COA
additionalParams = type=0&L={GP:L}
additionalParams.insertData = 1
You can do this kind of URL using addQueryString = 1. https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Functions/Typolink/Index.html#addquerystring
What I'm trying to do is quite complex and an Extbase extension is involved...
Step by step, what I'm trying to do:
An Extbase plugin decides, if certain navigation elements should be marked.
This plugin has one action for each navigation element.
The returned value (0 or 1) from each action in TS is stored on the stack (LOAD_REGISTER).
A list of page UIDs is build by checking against the stored values (0,1).
The navigation COA is modified using this list of page UIDs.
Here is the typoscript code I'm using:
// load information, if pages lack info, into register
10 = LOAD_REGISTER
10 {
lacksAnfahrt {
cObject = USER_INT
cObject {
userFunc = tx_extbase_core_bootstrap->run
pluginName = Pa_klinik_data_edit
extensionName = Hplusinfo
controller = SpitalInfoPA
switchableControllerActions {
SpitalInfoPA {
1 = completeAnfahrt
}
}
}
}
lacksAktivitaeten < .lacksAnfahrt
lacksAktivitaeten.cObject.switchableControllerActions.SpitalInfoPA.1 = completeAktivitaeten
lacksBildergalerie < .lacksAnfahrt
lacksBildergalerie.cObject.switchableControllerActions.SpitalInfoPA.1 = completeBildergalerie
// build a list of PIDs that are going to be marked in navigation
lackPIDs.cObject = COA
lackPIDs.cObject {
10 = TEXT
10 {
value = {$config.PIDLists.anfahrt},
if {
value = 1
equals.data = register:lacksAnfahrt
}
}
20 < .10
20.value = {$config.PIDLists.bildergalerie},
20.if.equals.data = register:lacksBildergalerie
30 < .10
30.value = {$config.PIDLists.aktivitaeten},
30.if.equals.data = register:lacksAktivitaeten
// don't let the comma separated list end with a comma
99 = TEXT
99.value = 0
} // lackPIDs
} // REGISTER
// mark incomplete pages with a red exclamation mark
20 { // = HMENU
1 { // = TMENU
NO { // = 1
stdWrap.wrap = |<span class="warning lacksInfo">!</span>
stdWrap.wrap.if {
value.data = register:lackPIDs
isInList.field = uid
}
}
}
}
If i print out register:lacksBildergalerie and all the others, their values are correct (0 or 1).
But the lackPIDslist always empty (except of the 0 at the end)... There must be something wrong with the middle part:
10 {
value = {$nav.PIDLists.anfahrt},
if {
value = 1
equals.data = register:lacksAnfahrt
}
}
This evaluation seams to return false in any case.
I also tried with different if function like:
10 {
value = {$nav.PIDLists.anfahrt},
if {
isTrue.data = register:lacksAnfahrt
}
}
But this doesn't solve the problem.
Just overlooked that the other registers are using USER_INT as well
