tt_news archive link not being generated - typo3

At the top of my LATEST template I have
<!--###LINK_ARCHIVE###-->###GOTOARCHIVE###<!--###LINK_ARCHIVE###-->
In my config I have:
pid_list = 18
archiveTypoLink.parameter = 86
singlePid = 87
Latest, single and list views are all working, but the link archive link is not being displayed. What am I missing! (Thanks!)

My bad. Config values were being defined as constants!
archiveTypoLink.parameter is required for the archive link to be rendered.

TYPO3 11 Sitepackage Tutorial expected template file Standard/1.html

TL;DR:
The Backend Layouts of the site package tutorial (Default/Standard and Two Columns) do not show up for new pages in Appearance -> Backend Layout. The error message in this thread (1.html) is an artefact of prior Backend Layouts which came from the original old site setup.
Solution:
To make the Backend Layouts of the site package tutorial show up there, I had to edit the root page of the site: Resources -> Include static Page TSconfig (from extensions) and add site-package from the Available Items list.
This can also be achieved without "Resources -> Include static Page TSconfig (from extensions)" but via file ext_localconf.php in the root of the site package extension (gpcf_theme):
<?php
defined('TYPO3_MODE') || die();
$boot = function (string $_EXTKEY): void {
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPageTSConfig('
<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source="FILE:EXT:'.$_EXTKEY.'/Configuration/TsConfig/Page/Page.tsconfig">
');
};
$boot('gpcf_theme');
unset($boot);
Original Question:
I'm still trying to bring an existing (older) web page into Typo3 11 following the TYPO3 Sitepackage Tutorial.
Currently I get an
"Oops, an error occurred! Code: 202111161210589c32f8c0"
and can't get rid of it whatever I do.
The corresponding entry in the log files is (line breaks added by me):
../../var/log/typo3_61306f633c.log:Tue, 16 Nov 2021 12:10:58 +0000 [ALERT] request="30cc4e082c853"
component="TYPO3.CMS.Frontend.ContentObject.Exception.ProductionExceptionHandler":
Oops, an error occurred! Code: 202111161210589c32f8c0- InvalidTemplateResourceException:
Tried resolving a template file for controller action "Standard->1" in format ".html",
but none of the paths contained the expected template file (Standard/1.html).
The following paths were checked:
/var/www/html/typo3_11/public/typo3conf/ext/gpcf_theme/Resources/Private/Templates/Page/,
in file /var/www/html/typo3_11/vendor/typo3fluid/fluid/src/View/TemplatePaths.php
I can't find the reason of this error, because I have no idea, where the needed template Standard/1.html is requested from.
Is this some kind of hard coded default if nothing else is found?
If this is the case, the real problem is, that my customizations to the Sitepackage Tutorial source code seems to be wrong, but it never produced any different error despite the above one, which isn't really helpful. Ok, this is speculation, because I don't know.
As you can see, the site package was renamed to gpcf_theme, it's available in the backend and applied as root template to the site. No other template is active (AFAIK). A simple newly created test page creates above error.
If I uncomment in Configuration/TypoScript/Setup/Page.typoscript the lines so that:
page = PAGE
page {
typeNum = 0
10 = TEXT
10.value = Hello World!
}
same error, no hello world.
Any idea how to locate the reason for my misery?
Maybe the fix is really simple. Try to go into the backend:
Edit the homepage
To to the "Appearance" tab
Set the Backend Layout for this and subpages
Save your change
There is a good chance that it is working now.
Whats going on?
You can cast this query on your database:
SELECT
uid, pid, title, backend_layout, backend_layout_next_level
FROM
pages;
Here you get a list of pages, some with backend_layout and backend_layout_next_level filled. Most likely your home pages has some values in this fields?
The value of this field is generated by the TSConfig for backend layouts you set in:
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-sitepackage/11.5/en-us/ContentMapping/Index.html#dynamic-content-rendering-in-typoscript
This column is then read and processed in your TypoScript:
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-sitepackage/11.5/en-us/TypoScriptConfiguration/Index.html#part-1-fluid-template-section
It is explained below the code snippet.
If the 4 steps from the beginning of my answer did not solve your problem, then this are the places to look.
In TSConfig is the definition of the backend layouts, columns, labels and what is written in the pages.backend_layout db-field
DB columns if the value makes sense pagets__<yourTemplateName>
The TypoScript that reads this db-field cuts of the pagets__ takes the rest, adds .html and searches in the paths defined in the TypoScript below.
check if the Folder and Filename of your Template file are correct.
the error message states that the file 1.html is expected in the folder /var/www/html/typo3_11/public/typo3conf/ext/gpcf_theme/Resources/Private/Templates/Page/
as you noted that you have renamed the site package you may have missed some occurrences of the original package name and so some configuration is missing or pointing to nirvana.

Typo3 LanguageMenu Error "sr_language_menu_pi1" no rendering definition

Shortly, i needed to help a good friend, to move her complete typo3 install to another provider.
There was no chance in getting help from the developer at all.
I exported and imported the tables
downloaded all of the folder and uploaded it again
I set new InstallTool Password and added new Administrator
I updated the MySQL-Connection
Now everything seems to work correctly, BESIDES an error calling at the top of the page (where the language selection is supposed to be) saying:
ERROR: Content Element type "sr_language_menu_pi1" has no rendering definition!
For now, I tried to hide this annoying layer with CSS-property display none ;)
But it's a website where I need to have multiple languages enabled.
I have no experience with typo3, so please describe possible solutions as simple as possible.
This error happens e.g. under TYPO3 6.2.17.
You must have a sysfolder called "Templates" where you create a new extension template setup for the extension sr_language_menu. (Template Module)
Use the title "+ext sr_language_menu".
There you enter a constants part like this:
plugin.tx_srlanguagemenu {
addSelectionListHeader = 0
showCurrentFirst = 0
defaultLanguageISOCode = DE
hideIfNoAltLanguages = 1
showInactive = 0
pointerImage =
defaultLayout = 0
addLinksListHeader = 0
doNotLinkCurrent = 1
separator =
token = |
selectionListSeparator =
showCurrent = 1
useIsoLanguageCountryCode = 1
}
And you enter a setup like this.
plugin.tx_srlanguagemenu {
_CSS_DEFAULT_STYLE >
flags.stdWrap.split.wrap = <ul id="langmenu">|*| | |*| |</ul>
flag.NO.stdWrap.wrap = <li>|</li>
flag.INACT.stdWrap.wrap = <li>|</li>
flag.CUR.stdWrap.wrap = <li>|</li>
links.stdWrap.split.wrap >
}
Then go to the tab "Include static (from extensions):" and set the
Selected Items to
"Language Menu setup (sr_language_menu)" and
"Language Menu CSS Styles (sr_language_menu)"
Then go to your main template setup. (Template Module).
Edit Template "Main Template" on page "..."
Go to the tab "Includes" and add the "+ext sr_language_menu". to "Include Basis Template:". You can use the page browser in the new popup window to navigate to the Templates folder and select the record with the template name "+ext sr_language_menu".
Then you must install static_info_tables 6.2.1 or higher, and install the country specific static_info_tables extensions. Deinstall sr_language_menu and reinstall it again. Then open the Extension Manager an see the green round arrow symbol "Execute the update script".
Afterwards the error message has gone and the language menu shows up.
You can see if the templates of this extension is present on the project installation.
Might be you din not include static from template of "sr_language_menu"
Go to Web > Template > Root page
Info/Modify: edit whole template

TYPO3 how duplicate content in severals page

I have a TYPO3 website.
I have 4 contents in my home page which I had created with TemplaVoila (flexible content).
I want to know if there is an easy way to duplicate these contents in all the others pages.
Yes, TemplaVoila allows you to reference ContentElements with special icon, which means that you insert it on some page and then you creates a references. If "first" CE changes, all references reflect it automatically.
Optionally, if all CE's are places in one TV's column you can use TV Content Slide extension by Bernhard Kraft.
Just map that content using typoscript using the below code and use it:
lib.leftcolumncontents = COA
lib.leftcolumncontents{
5 = RECORDS
5 {
tables = tt_content
source = 26 # content element id
}
15 = RECORDS
15 {
tables = tt_content
source = 36 # content element id
}
}

TT_NEWS Force Display of Latest News in Single/Latest implementatin (TYPO3)

Sirs,
I have a nice working implementation of SINGLE and Latest on same page. My realurl is working perfectly. Problem is, by default, single doesn't show anything until you click on one of the listed news (displayed by the list plugin). I would like the single plugin to show the latest news on landing.
Any ideas?
FIRST SOLUTION
The solution for the requested behavior is described in the tt_news manual:
Default news id
Insert the following lines to the setup field of an ext-template at
the page where you want to display the latest news item in SINGLE view
if no SINGLE view for another record was requested:
# hide the "no news id" message
plugin.tt_news._LOCAL_LANG.default.noNewsIdMsg =
# set the tt_news singlePid to the current page
plugin.tt_news.singlePid = 977
# fill the content of the main-column to a tmp.object
tmp.pagecontent < page.10.subparts.contentarea
# clear the content of the main column
page.10.subparts.contentarea >
# build a new object for this column as content-object-array
page.10.subparts.contentarea = COA
page.10.subparts.contentarea {
10 = CONTENT
10.table = tt_news
10.select {
# insert the pids of all pages from where you want to fetch news.
# the recursive-field has no influence on this selection
pidInList = 1078,1079,1080,1081,1082,1083,1084
orderBy = datetime desc
max = 1
}
# insert the object “10.” only if there is no SINGLE news selected
# ATTENTION, OUTDATED IN MANUAL, USE GP:... instead of GPvar:... !!!
#10.stdWrap.if.isFalse.data = GPvar:tx_ttnews|tt_news
10.stdWrap.if.isFalse.data = GP:tx_ttnews|tt_news
# re-insert the normal pagecontent to the page
20 < tmp.pagecontent
}
The page in this example contains 2 columns. The news LIST is located
in the left column. the main column (page.10.subparts.contentarea)
contains a SINGLE news content-element.
SECOND SOLUTION – MY FAVORITE
My personal favorite to solve the problem is a bit more slick. It makes use of the noNewsIdMsg (which is simply emptied in the above solution) and uses its stdWrap version to show the latest record exactly when there would normally be a "No news ID" message.
# use the "no news id" message position for the latest news record
plugin.tt_news.singlePid = 977
plugin.tt_news.noNewsIdMsg_stdWrap.cObject = COA
plugin.tt_news.noNewsIdMsg_stdWrap.cObject {
10 = CONTENT
10.table = tt_news
10.select {
# insert the pids of all pages from where you want to fetch news.
# the recursive-field has no influence on this selection
pidInList = 1078,1079,1080,1081,1082,1083,1084
orderBy = datetime desc
max = 1
}
}
Please be aware that in BOTH solutions the template subpart that is used for the inserted default record is NOT ###TEMPLATE_SINGLE### but ###TEMPLATE_SINGLE_RECORDINSERT###.
One solution is to change the text limit for latest view in that particular news plugin as given below:
plugin.tt_news.displayLatest.subheader_stdWrap.crop = 10000 | ... | 1
and also provide a separate template file without
<!--###LINK_ITEM###-->
markers in latest view section.
The Safe Single News extension
adds a new tt_news code: SAFE_SINGLE which ensures that a single news
article is shown even if none is specified. If a news article is
selected, it will simply show it. If none is selected, it will display
the latest news article for the configured category.
Maybe it could help you.
Why not have a "single/latest" view showing a single view (if submitted) and latest if no single view requested. In this plugin set news-limit for latest to "1".
Below add another latest (or list) with news limit set to 3 (or as wanted)

Is fpdi shrinking template and/or adding whitespace?

Using FPDI, I first use a template to create a table of contents. I then import additional pages, which are linked to by the table of contents. What I'm experiencing is that FPDI is shrinking the templates and possible adding white space. I believe I have eliminated any browser added whitespace/shrinkage by merging the same documents into one via the passthru() command.
I have pasted code here: http://pastebin.com/VeLEN8nz. Line 45 - 57 is where the Table of Contents gets included as a template file.
The original file is here: http://truckingshow.com/TOC.pdf
The post-FPDI file is here: http://truckingshow.com/TOC-afterFPDI.pdf
The most noticeable difference is in the right and bottom margins.
Thank you for taking a look, please let me know if I can provide more info.
The document that was given to me was "Letter", not "A4" (the default for FPDF())
Instead of $pdf = new FPDI('P', 'pt') Simply using $pdf = new FPDI('P', 'pt', 'Letter') solved the problem.
Thanks!
