Conditions¶

Upgrading¶

Changed in version 10.0.

The "old" condition syntax has been deprecated in 9 and removed in 10. The feature toggle [SYS][features][TypoScript.strictSyntax] has been dropped in 10.0.

Before updating from 9 to 10, you MUST change your templates to use the "new" condition syntax.

old:

# page uid == 2
[page|uid = 2]

# page layout == 1
[page|layout = 1]

# applicationContext is "Production"
[applicationContext = Production*]

new:

[page["uid"] == 2]

[page["layout"] == 1]

[applicationContext == "Production"]

Hint

Look for notices in the deprecation log, such as:

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 15:58:06 +0200 [NOTICE] request="a4130429dafc6" component="TYPO3.CMS.deprecations":
  Core: Error handler (BE): TYPO3 Deprecation Notice:
  Multiple conditions blocks combined with AND, OR, && or || will be removed in TYPO3 v10.0, use
  the new expression language. in ....

However, the deprecation log will only show you deprecations for pages that are being rendered. To get a full overview of old conditions, you should search through your own extensions and possibly the TypoScript templates in the database (available through the "Templates" backend module).

Reference¶

Variables¶

The following variables are available. The values are context related.

applicationContext¶

Variable

applicationContext

Type

String

Description

Current application context as string.

See Application Context.

Beispiel

[applicationContext == "Development"]

Any context that is "Production" or starts with "Production" (eg Production/Staging").

[applicationContext matches "/^Production/"]

page¶

Note

page is only available in the frontend context. As the TypoScript setup may be loaded in some backend modules or the CLI context, it is considered best practice to always guard the property by using the function traverse()

Variable

page

Type

Array

Description

All data of the current page record as array. To find out which fields are available, you can enable the debug mode in the TYPO3 backend which will display the field names.

Example

# Check single page uid
[traverse(page, "uid") == 2]
# Check list of page uids
traverse(page, "uid") in [17,24]]
# Check list of page uids NOT in
[traverse(page, "uid") not in [17,24]]
# Check range of pages (example: page uid from 10 to 20)
[traverse(page, "uid") in 10..20]

# Check the page backend layout
[traverse(page, "backend_layout") == 5]
[traverse(page, "backend_layout") == "example_layout"]

# Check the page title
[traverse(page, "title") == "foo"]

Constant¶

Variable

{$foo.bar}

Functions in all contexts¶

Functions take over the logic of the old conditions which do more than a simple comparison check. The following functions are available in any context:

request¶

Function: request
Parameter: Custom
Description: Allows to fetch information from current request.

request.getQueryParams()¶

Function

request.getQueryParams()

Parameter

Custom

Type

Array

Description

Allows to access all available GET-Parameters from current request.

Assuming the following query within url:

Key: token: Value: 5c53e9b715362e7b0c3275848068133b89bbed77
Key: skipSessionUpdate: Value: 1

Example

Check if query parameter skipSessionUpdate equals 1:

[request.getQueryParams()['skipSessionUpdate'] == 1]

Safely check query parameter array to avoid error logs in case key is not defined (see traverse). This will check if tx_news_pi1['news'] > 0:

[traverse(request.getQueryParams(), 'tx_news_pi1/news') > 0]

Functions in frontend context¶

The following functions are only available in frontend context:

Description

Allows to access values of the current session. Available values depend on values written to the session, e.g. by extensions.

Use | to dig deeper into the structure for stored values.

Example

Example, matches if session has value 1234567 in structure $foo['bar']:

[session("foo|bar") == 1234567]

site¶

Function

site

Parameter

String

Description

Get value from site configuration, or null if no site was found or property does not exists.

Available Information:

site("identifier"): Returns the identifier of current site as string.
site("base"): Returns the base of current site as string.
site("rootPageId"): Returns the root page uid of current site as integer.
site("languages"): Returns array of available languages for current site. For deeper information, see siteLanguage.
site("allLanguages"): Returns array of available and unavailable languages for current site. For deeper information, see siteLanguage.
site("defaultLanguage"): Returns the default language for current site. For deeper information, see siteLanguage.
site("configuration"): Returns an array with all available configuration for current site.

Example

Site identifier:

[site("identifier") == "typo395"]

Matches if site base host:

[site("base").getHost() == "www.example.org"]

Base path:

[site("base").getPath() == "/"]

Rootpage uid:

[site("rootPageId") == 1]

Configuration property:

[traverse(site("configuration"), "myCustomProperty") == true]

Warning

It might seem straight-forward to use site("configuration")["myCustomProperty"] to access configuration properties. However, if the property has not been set, this will trigger a runtime exception, and your log will fill up quickly. Using traverse will silence the error messages.

siteLanguage¶

Available information:

siteLanguage("languageId")

Example, match if siteLanguage locale = foo:

[siteLanguage("locale") == "de_CH"]

Example, match if siteLanguage title = Italy:

[siteLanguage("title") == "Italy"]
