Using Fluid in TYPO3

Here are some examples of how Fluid can be used in TYPO3:

  • Create a template (theme) using a combination of TypoScript FLUIDTEMPLATE and Fluid. Check out the TYPO3 site package tutorial which walks you through the creation of a sitepackage extension.
  • Create a custom content element type in addition to the already existing content elements TYPO3 supplies.
  • The previous point describes the lightweight components which are created using a combination of TypoScript and Fluid. If you need more functionality or flexibility in your content element, you can create a content plugin using a combination of Extbase and Fluid.
  • Use Fluid to create emails using the TYPO3 Mail API.
  • Use Fluid in backend modules, either with or without Extbase.
