Using site configuration in TCA foreign_table_where

TCA: foreign_table_where

The foreign_table_where setting in TCA allows marker-based placeholders to customize the query. The best place to define site-dependent settings is the site configuration, which can be used within foreign_table_where.

To access a configuration value the following syntax is available:

  • ###SITE:<KEY>### - <KEY> is your setting name from site config e.g. ###SITE:rootPageId###
  • ###SITE:<KEY>.<SUBKEY>### - an array path notation is possible. e.g. ###SITE:mySetting.categoryPid###

Example:

// ...
'fieldConfiguration' => [
    'foreign_table_where' => ' AND ({#sys_category}.uid = ###SITE:rootPageId### OR {#sys_category}.pid = ###SITE:mySetting.categoryPid###) ORDER BY sys_category.title ASC',
],
// ...
