CONTENT¶
An object with the content type CONTENT is designed to generate content by allowing to finely select records and have them rendered.
What records are visible is controlled by start
and end
fields and
more standard fields automatically. The internal value SYS_LASTCHANGED
is raised to the maximum timestamp value of the respective records.

The cObject RECORDS in contrast is for displaying lists of records from a variety of tables without fine graining.
Properties¶
renderObj¶
slide¶
- slide¶
- Data type
integer /stdWrap
If set and no content element is found by the select command, the rootLine will be traversed back until some content is found.
Possible values are
-1
(slide back up to the siteroot),1
(only the current level) and2
(up from one level back).Use
-1
in combination with collect.
- slide.collect¶
- Data type
integer /stdWrap
If set, all content elements found on the current and parent pages will be collected. Otherwise, the sliding would stop after the first hit. Set this value to the amount of levels to collect on, or use
-1
to collect up to the site root.
- slide.collectFuzzy¶
- Data type
boolean /stdWrap
Only useful in with
slide.collect
. If no content elements have been found for the specified depth in collect mode, traverse further until at least one match has occurred.

See cache function description for details.
Examples¶
CONTENT explained in detail¶
See PHP class \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentContentObject
for details on code level.
1 = CONTENT
1 {
if {
}
table = tt_content
select {
pidInList = this
where = colPos = 1
orderBy = sorting
}
renderObj = < tt_content
slide = 0
slide {
collect = 0
collectReverse = 0
collectFuzzy = 0
}
wrap =
stdWrap =
}
Expanded form:
1 = CONTENT
// STEP 1: do nothing if 'if' evaluates to false
1.if {
# ifclause =
}
// STEP 2: define parameters
1.table = tt_content # default='' #stdWrap
1.select {
pidInList = this
where = colPos = 1
orderBy = sorting
}
# renderObj = <TABLEVALUE # default!
1.renderObj =
# slide = 0 # default! #stdWrap
1.slide = -1
# slideCollect = 0 # default! #stdWrap
1.slide.collect =
# slideCollectReverse = false # default! #stdWrap
1.slide.collectReverse =
# slideCollectFuzzy = false # default! #stdWrap
1.slide.collectFuzzy =
// STEP 3: find all records
// STEP 4: apply the renderObj to each record and collect
// the results as string 'totalResult'
// STEP 5: Apply wrap to the 'totalResult'
1.wrap = | # default!
// STEP 6: Apply stdWrap to the 'totalResult'
1.stdWrap = # default! #stdWrap
// STEP 6: Return 'totalResult'

Content Objects (cObject)
Display all tt_content records from this page¶
Here is an example of the CONTENT object:
1 = CONTENT
1.table = tt_content
1.select {
pidInList = this
orderBy = sorting
where = {#colPos}=0
}
Since in the above example .renderObj
is not set explicitly, TYPO3
will automatically set 1.renderObj < tt_content
, so that renderObj
will reference the TypoScript configuration of tt_content
. The
according TypoScript configuration will be copied to renderObj
.
Apply special rendering¶
Here is an example of record-rendering objects:
page = PAGE
page.typeNum = 0
# The CONTENT object executes a database query and loads the content.
page.10 = CONTENT
page.10.table = tt_content
page.10.select {
# "sorting" is a column from the tt_content table and
# keeps track of the sorting order, which was specified in
# the backend.
orderBy = sorting
# Only select content from column "0" (the column called
# "normal") and quote the database identifier (column name)
# "colPos" (indicated by wrapping with {#})
where = {#colPos}=0
}
# For every result line from the database query (that means for every content
# element) the renderObj is executed and the internal data array is filled
# with the content. This ensures that we can call the .field property and we
# get the according value.
page.10.renderObj = COA
page.10.renderObj {
10 = TEXT
# The field tt_content.header normally holds the headline.
10.stdWrap.field = header
10.stdWrap.wrap = <h1>|</h1>
20 = TEXT
# The field tt_content.bodytext holds the content text.
20.stdWrap.field = bodytext
20.stdWrap.wrap = <p>|</p>
}
