Site settings

Changed in version 12.1: Before TYPO3 v12.1 the site settings were stored in the config.yaml file under the settings key. An upgrade wizard migrates settings to the new settings.yaml file.

Site settings can be used to provide settings for a site. They can be accessed via

For instance, settings can be used in custom frontend code to deliver features which might vary per site for extensions. An example may be to configure storage page IDs.

The settings are defined in the config/sites/<my_site>/settings.yaml file.

Adding site settings

Add settings to the settings.yaml:

config/sites/<my_site>/settings.yaml | typo3conf/sites/<my_site>/settings.yaml
categoryPid: 658
styles:
  content:
    loginform:
      pid: 23

Note

This example shows how to fill a constant of EXT:felogin via site settings (styles.content.loginform.pid) and configures a custom categoryPid.

Accessing site settings in page TSconfig or TypoScript

// store tx_ext_data records on the given storage page by default (e.g. through IRRE)
TCAdefaults.tx_ext_data.pid = {$categoryPid}

// load category selection for plugin from out dedicated storage page
TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.ext_pi1.sDEF.categories.PAGE_TSCONFIG_ID = {$categoryPid}

Note

The TypoScript constants are evaluated in this order:

  1. Configuration from $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['defaultTypoScript_constants']

  2. Site specific settings from the site configuration

  3. Constants from sys_template database records
