It is recommended to use the Settings for the "Frontend Login" site set instead, as TypoScript constants will be phased out in the future. **config/sites/MySite/constants.typoscript** ```typoscript styles.content.loginform { pid = 42 recursive = 255 } ``` ## Example: Set the default storage page via TypoScript setup {#configuration-examples-typoscript} In order to set the default storage page to a more dynamic value, use the TypoScript setup. Use the [TypoScript provider](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ApiOverview/SiteHandling/SiteSets/Index.html#site-sets-typoscript) or other means of ref:`setting the TypoScript setup `. **config/sites/MySite/constants.typoscript** ```typoscript [{$tx_my_extension.settings.feature1Enabled} == 1] plugin.tx_felogin_login.settings.pid = 123 [ELSE] plugin.tx_felogin_login.settings.pid = 42 [END] ``` ## Example: Override the default storage page in the plugin's FlexForm {#configuration-examples-flexform} If you set any FlexForm setting within the content element representing the plugin to a **non-empty value** it will override any other setting not matter if it is made via site settings, TypoScript constant ot TypoScript setup. Empty values take no effect if a default was set by other means. In the backend module **Content > Layout** edit the content element containing the login form. Go to tab **Plugin** and sub tab **General**. You should see a form similar to the following: ![A screenshot showing the "General" tab of the plugin settings](../Images/GeneralSettings.png) Choose the desired page or pages in the field with label **User Storage Page** (key [settings.pages](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3/cms-felogin:confval-typoscript-pages@14.3)). > [!TIP] > It is sometimes hard to determine, which label in the FlexForm corresponds > to which key in the [FlexForm reference](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3/cms-felogin:plugin-tx-felogin-login@14.3). > > Turn on the [backend debug mode](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/Configuration/Typo3ConfVars/BE.html#confval-globals-typo3-conf-vars-be-debug) > to get a visual hint in the backend for the keys of the FlexForm field. ![A screenshot showing FlexForm Field with key \`settings.pages\`](../Images/FlexFormKey.png)
