Conditions

TSconfig TypoScript conditions offer a way to conditionally change TypoScript based on current context. See the TypoScript syntax condition chapter for the basic syntax of conditions.

It is possible to use TypoScript conditions in both user TSconfig and page TSconfig, just as it is done in frontend TypoScript. The list of available variables and functions is different, though.

The Symfony expression language tends to throw warnings when sub arrays are checked in a condition that do not exist. Use the traverse function to avoid this.
