FlexFormProcessor

TYPO3 offers “FlexForms” which can be used to store data within an XML structure inside a single DB column. The data processor TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor converts the FlexForm data of a given field into a Fluid readable array.

Options

fieldname

Required:false Type:string Default:‘pi_flexform’

Field name of the column the FlexForm data is stored in

as

Required:false Type:string Default:‘flexFormData’

Name for the variable in the Fluid template.

Examples

Example of a minimal TypoScript configuration

10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor

The converted array can be accessed within the Fluid template with the {flexFormData} variable.

Example of an advanced TypoScript configuration

10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor
10 {
    fieldName = my_flexform_field
    as = myOutputVariable
}

The converted array can be accessed within the Fluid template with the {myOutputVariable} variable.

Example with a custom sub-processor

10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor
10 {
    fieldName = my_flexform_field
    as = myOutputVariable
    dataProcessing {
       10 = Vendor\MyExtension\DataProcessing\CustomFlexFormProcessor
    }
}
