CONFIG & config

The 'config' top-level-object

Internally TYPO3 always creates an array config with various configuration values which are evaluated during the rendering process and treated in some special, predefined and predictive way. This is what we mean when we say the property config, actually the array 'config' is of type CONFIG. It is a "top-level-object" because it is not subordinate to any other configuration setting.

In PHP you can refer to the array within typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/ files by writing $GLOBALS['TSFE']->config['config'].

This typoscript "top level object" config provides access to the internal array. This means, that configuration settings can be made easily. For example:

# TypoScript
config.debug = 1

# will produce, in php
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->config['config']['debug'] // with value 1

Properties of 'config'

absRefPrefix

absRefPrefix
Data type

string

Special value

"auto"

If set, the string is prepended to all relative links that TYPO3 generates.

config.absRefPrefix = auto lets TYPO3 autodetect the site root based on path prefixes and not based on host name variables from the server, making this value safe for multi-domain environments.

If the option config.forceAbsoluteUrls is enabled, absRefPrefix is overridden.

Using an URI in absRefPrefix will require additional conditions if you use different domains for your deployment stages in CI environments.

If you are working on a server where you have different domain names or different path segments leading to the same page (e.g. for internal and external access), you may do yourself a favor and set absRefPrefix to the URL and path of your site, e.g. https://example.org/. If you do not, you risk to render pages to cache from the internal network and thereby prefix image references and links with a wrong path or a path not accessible from outside.

Examples

  1. Prefixing all links with a "/" results in absolute link paths:

    EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
    config.absRefPrefix = /
    
  2. Prefixing all links with the path to a subdirectory:

    EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
    config.absRefPrefix = /some-subsite/
    
  3. Prefixing all links with a URI scheme:

    EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
    config.absRefPrefix = https://example.org/
    

additionalHeaders

additionalHeaders
Data type

numerically indexed array of "HTTP header entries".

By means of config.additionalHeaders as series of additional HTTP headers can be configured. An entry has the following structure:

10.header = the header string

This value is required.

10.replace = 0 | 1

Optional, boolean, default is 1. If true, the header will replace an existing one that has the same name.

10.httpResponseCode = 201

Optional, integer, a http status code that the page should return.

By default TYPO3 sends a "Content-Type" header with the defined encoding. It then sends cache headers, if configured via sendCacheHeaders. Then additional headers are send, plus finally a "Content-Length" header, if enabled via enableContentLengthHeader.

Examples

  1. General usage

    EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
    config.additionalHeaders {
      10 {
        # The header string
        header = foo
    
        # Do not replace previous headers with the same name.
        replace = 0
    
        # Force a 401 HTTP response code
        httpResponseCode = 401
      }
      # Always set cache headers to private, overwriting the default TYPO3 Cache-control header
      20.header = Cache-control: Private
    }
    
  2. General usage, same usage, alternate notation

    EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
    config.additionalHeaders.10.header = foo
    config.additionalHeaders.10.replace = 0
    config.additionalHeaders.10.httpResponseCode = 401
    config.additionalHeaders.20.header = Cache-control: Private
    
  3. Set content type for a page returning JSON

    EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
    json = PAGE
    json {
      typeNum = 1617455215
      10 =< tt_content.list.20.tx_myextension_myjsonplugin
      config {
        disableAllHeaderCode = 1
        additionalHeaders.10.header = Content-type:application/json
      }
    }
    

admPanel

config.admPanel = 1 can be used to enable the admin panel. See Configuration in the Admin Panel manual.

ATagParams

Property

ATagParams

Data type

<A>-params

Description

Additional parameters to all links in TYPO3 (excluding menu-links).

cache

Property

cache

Data type

array

Description

Determine the maximum cache lifetime of a page.

The maximum cache lifetime of a page can not only be determined by the start and stop times of content elements on the page itself, but also by arbitrary records on any other page. However, the page has to be configured so that TYPO3 knows the start and stop times of which records to include. Otherwise, the cache entry will be used although a start/stop date already passed by.

To include records of type <table name> on page <pid> into the cache lifetime calculation of page <page-id>, add the following TypoScript:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.cache.<page-id> = <table name>:<storage-pid>

Multiple record sources can be added as comma-separated list, see the examples.

You can use the keyword "all" instead of a <page-id> to consider records for the cache lifetime of all pages.

You can use the keyword "current" instead of a <storage-pid> to consider records on the current page for the cache life of itself.

Examples

This includes the fe_users records on page 2 in the cache lifetime calculation for page 10:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.cache.10 = fe_users:2

This includes records from multiple sources, namely the fe_users records on page 2 and the tt_news records on page 11:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.cache.10 = fe_users:2,tt_news:11

Consider the fe_user records on the storage page 2 for the cache lifetime of all pages:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.cache.all = fe_users:2

Each pages cache lifetime is influenced if fe_users stored on the page itself get changed:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.cache.all = fe_users:current

cache_clearAtMidnight

Property

cache_clearAtMidnight

Data type

boolean

Default

false

Description

With this setting the cache always expires at midnight of the day, the page is scheduled to expire.

cache_period

Property

cache_period

Data type

integer

Default

86400 (= 24 hours)

Description

The number of second a page may remain in cache.

This value is overridden by the value set in the page-record (field="cache_timeout") if this value is greater than zero.

compressCss

Property

compressCss

Data type

boolean

Default

0

Description

If set, CSS files referenced in page.includeCSS and the like will be minified and compressed. Does not work on files, which are referenced in page.headerData.

Minification will remove all excess space. The more significant compression step (using gzip compression) requires $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['compressionLevel'] to be enabled in the Install Tool. For this to work you also need to activate the gzip- related compressionLevel options in .htaccess, as otherwise the compressed files will not be readable by the user agent.

TYPO3 comes with a built-in compression handler, but you can also register your own one using $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['cssCompressHandler'].

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['cssCompressHandler'] =
   \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Extension\ExtensionManager::extPath($_EXTKEY) .
   'Classes/CssCompressHandler.php:Vendor\MyExt\CssCompressHandler->compressCss';

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.compressCss = 1

compressJs

Property

compressJs

Data type

boolean

Default

0

Description

Enabling this option together with $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['compressionLevel'] in the Install Tool delivers Frontend JavaScript files referenced in page.includeJS and the like using GZIP compression. Does not work on files, which are referenced in page.headerData.

This can significantly reduce file sizes of linked JavaScript files and thus decrease loading times.

Please note that this requires .htaccess to be adjusted, as otherwise the files will not be readable by the user agent. Please see the description of $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['compressionLevel'] in the Install Tool.

TYPO3 comes with a built-in compression handler, but you can also register your own one using $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['jsCompressHandler'].

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['jsCompressHandler'] =
   \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Extension\ExtensionManager::extPath($_EXTKEY) .
   'Classes/JsCompressHandler.php:Vendor\MyExt\JsCompressHandler->compressJs';

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.compressJs = 1

concatenateCss

Property

concatenateCss

Data type

boolean

Default

0

Description

Setting config.concatenateCss merges Stylesheet files referenced in the Frontend in page.includeCSS and the like together. Files are merged only, if their media attribute has the same value, e.g. if it is "all" for several files. Does not work on files, which are referenced in page.headerData.

TYPO3 comes with a built-in concatenation handler, but you can also register your own one using $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['cssConcatenateHandler'].

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['cssCompressHandler'] =
   \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Extension\ExtensionManager::extPath($_EXTKEY) .
   'Classes/CssCompressHandler.php:Vendor\MyExt\CssCompressHandler->compressCss';

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.concatenateCss = 1

concatenateJs

Property

concatenateJs

Data type

boolean

Default

0

Description

Setting config.concatenateJs merges JavaScript files referenced in the Frontend in page.includeJS and the like together. Does not work on files, which are referenced in page.headerData.

If all files to be concatenated are marked with the async flag, the async attribute is assigned to the script tag.

TYPO3 comes with a built-in concatenation handler, but you can also register your own one using $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['jsConcatenateHandler'].

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['jsConcatenateHandler'] =
   \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Extension\ExtensionManager::extPath($_EXTKEY) .
   'Classes/JsConcatenateHandler.php:Vendor\MyExt\JsConcatenateHandler->concatenateJs';

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.concatenateJs = 1

page = PAGE
page.includeJSFooter {
    test = fileadmin/user_upload/test.js
    test.async = 1

    test2 = fileadmin/user_upload/test2.js
    test2.async = 1
}

contentObjectExceptionHandler

Property

contentObjectExceptionHandler

Data type

array

Description

Exceptions which occur during rendering of content objects (typically plugins) will be caught by default in production context and an error message is shown along with the rendered output.

If this is done, the page will remain available while the section of the page that produces an error (i.e. throws an exception) will show a configurable error message. By default this error message contains a random code which references the exception and is also logged by the logging framework for developer reference.

Important

Instead of breaking the whole page when an exception occurs, an error message is shown for the part of the page that is broken. Be aware, it is possible that a page with an error message gets cached.

To get rid of the error message not only the actual error needs to be fixed, but the cache must be cleared for this page.

Examples

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
# Use 1 for the default exception handler (enabled by default in production context)
config.contentObjectExceptionHandler = 1

# Use a class name for individual exception handlers
config.contentObjectExceptionHandler = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\Exception\ProductionExceptionHandler

# Customize the error message. A randomly generated code is replaced within the message if needed.
config.contentObjectExceptionHandler.errorMessage = Oops an error occurred. Code: %s

# Configure exception codes which will not be handled, but bubble up again (useful for temporary fatal errors)
tt_content.login.20.exceptionHandler.ignoreCodes.10 = 1414512813

# Disable the exception handling for an individual plugin/ content object
tt_content.login.20.exceptionHandler = 0

# ignoreCodes and errorMessage can be both configured globally …
config.contentObjectExceptionHandler.errorMessage = Oops an error occurred. Code: %s
config.contentObjectExceptionHandler.ignoreCodes.10 = 1414512813

# … or locally for individual content objects
tt_content.login.20.exceptionHandler.errorMessage = Oops an error occurred. Code: %s
tt_content.login.20.exceptionHandler.ignoreCodes.10 = 1414512813

debug

Property

debug

Data type

boolean

Description

If set, then debug information in the TypoScript code is sent. This applies e.g. to menu objects and the parsetime output. The parsetime will be sent as HTTP response header X-TYPO3-Parsetime.

disableAllHeaderCode

Property

disableAllHeaderCode

Data type

boolean

Default

false

Description

If this is not set or set to false, the PAGE object automatically outputs a HTML skeleton, see Output of the PAGE object.

To disable this default behaviour set disableAllHeaderCode = 1. The page outputs only the result of the cObject array (1,2,3,4...) of the PAGE object.

Use this feature in templates supplying other content-types than HTML. That could be an image, a RSS-feed, an ajax request in a format like XML or JSON.

This property can also be used to generate the complete HTML page, including the <html> and <body> tags manually.

Example

A page type providing JSON:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
json = PAGE
json {
   typeNum = 1617455215
   10 =< tt_content.list.20.tx_myextension_myjsonplugin
   config {
      disableAllHeaderCode = 1
      additionalHeaders.10.header = Content-type:application/json
   }
}

disableBodyTag

Property

disableBodyTag

Data type

boolean

Default

0 (false)

Description

If this option is set, the TYPO3 core will not generate the opening <body ...> part of the body tag. The closing </body> is not affected and will still be issued.

disableBodyTag takes precedence over the PAGE properties bodyTagCObject, bodyTag and bodyTagAdd. With config.disableBodyTag = 1 the others are ignored and don't have any effect.

disableCanonical

Property

disableCanonical

Data type

boolean

Description

When the system extension SEO is installed, canonical tags are generated automatically to prevent duplicate content. A good canonical is added in many cases by default. For edge cases, you might want to disable the rendering of this tag. You can do this by setting this property to true.

disableHrefLang

Property

disableHrefLang

Data type

boolean

Description

When the system extension SEO is installed, hreflang tags are generated automatically in multi-language setups. By settings this option to true the rendering of those tags will be skipped.

disablePrefixComment

Property

disablePrefixComment

Data type

boolean

Description

If set, the stdWrap property prefixComment will be disabled, thus preventing any revealing and space-consuming comments in the HTML source code.

disablePreviewNotification

Property

disablePreviewNotification

Data type

boolean

Default

0

Description

Disables the "preview" notification box completely.

disableLanguageHeader

Property

disableLanguageHeader

Data type

boolean

Default

0

Description

TYPO3 by default sends a Content-language: XX HTTP header, where "XX" is the ISO code of the according language. The value is based on the language defined in the Site Configuration.

If config.disableLanguageHeader is set, this header will not be sent.

doctype

Property

doctype

Data type

string

Description

If set, then a document type declaration (and an XML prologue) will be generated. The value can either be a complete doctype or one of the following keywords:

xhtml_trans for the XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype.

xhtml_strict for the XHTML 1.0 Strict doctype.

xhtml_basic for the XHTML basic doctype.

xhtml_11 for the XHTML 1.1 doctype.

xhtml+rdfa_10 for the XHTML+RDFa 1.0 doctype.

html5 for the HTML5 doctype.

none for no doctype at all.

See config.htmlTag_setParams for more details on the effect on the HTML tag.

Default is the HTML 5 doctype:

<!DOCTYPE html>

enableContentLengthHeader

Property

enableContentLengthHeader

Data type

boolean

Default

1

Description

If set, a header "content-length: [bytes of content]" is sent.

If a backend user is logged in, this is disabled. The reason is that the content length header cannot include the length of these objects and the content-length will cut off the length of the document in some browsers.

extTarget

Property

extTarget

Data type

target

Default

_top

Description

Default external target. Used by typolink if no extTarget is set

fileTarget

Property

fileTarget

Data type

target

Description

Default file link target. Used by typolink if no fileTarget is set.

forceAbsoluteUrls

New in version 12.1.

Property

forceAbsoluteUrls

Data type

boolean

Default

0

Description

If this option is set, all links, reference to images or assets previously built with a relative or absolute path (for example, /fileadmin/my-pdf.pdf) will be rendered as absolute URLs with the site prefix / current domain.

Examples for such use cases are the generation of a complete static version of a TYPO3 site for sending a page via email.

Note

Setting this option will override any setting in config.absRefPrefix and any typolink forceAbsoluteUrl options.

forceTypeValue

Property

forceTypeValue

Data type

integer

Description

Force the &type value of all TYPO3 generated links to a specific value (except if overruled by local forceTypeValue values).

Useful if you run a template with special content at - say &type=95 - but still wants to keep your targets neutral. Then you set your targets to blank and this value to the type value you wish.

headerComment

Property

headerComment

Data type

string

Description

The content is added before the "TYPO3 Content Management Framework" comment in the <head> section of the page. Use this to insert a note like that "Programmed by My-Agency".

htmlTag.attributes

Property

htmlTag.attributes

Data type

array

Description

Sets the attributes for the <html> tag on the page. Allows to override and add custom attributes via TypoScript without having to re-add the existing attributes generated by SiteHandling.

This property supersedes the previous config.htmlTag_setParams option by providing a more flexible API to add attributes.

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.htmlTag.attributes.class = no-js

Results in :

Example output
<html lang="fr" class="no-js">
EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.htmlTag.attributes.amp =

Results in :

Example output
<html lang="fr" amp>

Warning

If you are using htmlTag.attributes the property htmlTag_setParams will not have any effect.

Note

Please note that the lang attribute in these examples are auto-generated by site handling, depending on the value added there.

htmlTag_setParams

Property

htmlTag_setParams

Data type

string

Description

Sets the attributes for the <html> tag on the page. If you set doctype to a keyword enabling XHTML then some attributes are already set. This property allows you to override any preset attributes with your own content if needed.

Special: If you set it to "none" then no attributes will be set at any event.

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.htmlTag_setParams = xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US"

Warning

If you are using htmlTag.attributes this property (htmlTag_setParams) will not have any effect.

Note

Used to older TYPO3 versions? If you are using site handling you do not need to set htmlTag_setParams for language related configuration in TypoScript.

htmlTag_stdWrap

Property

htmlTag_stdWrap

Data type

stdWrap

Description

Modify the whole <html> tag with stdWrap functionality. This can be used to extend or override this tag.

index_descrLgd

Property

index_descrLgd

Data type

integer

Default

200

Description

This indicates how many chars to preserve as description for an indexed page. This may be used in the search result display.

index_enable

Property

index_enable

Data type

boolean

Description

Enables cached pages to be indexed.

Automatically enabled when EXT:indexed_search is enabled.

index_externals

Property

index_externals

Data type

boolean

Description

If set, external media linked to on the pages is indexed as well.

Automatically enabled when EXT:indexed_search is enabled.

index_metatags

Property

index_metatags

Data type

boolean

Default

true

Description

This allows to turn on or off the indexing of metatags. It is turned on by default.

inlineStyle2TempFile

Property

inlineStyle2TempFile

Data type

boolean

Default

1

Description

If set, the inline styles TYPO3 controls in the core are written to a file, typo3temp/assets/css/stylesheet_[hashstring].css, and the header will only contain the link to the stylesheet.

The file hash is based solely on the content of the styles.

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.inlineStyle2TempFile = 0

intTarget

Property

intTarget

Data type

target

Description

Default internal target. Used by typolink if no target is set

linkVars

Property

linkVars

Data type

list

Description

HTTP_GET_VARS, which should be passed on with links in TYPO3. This is compiled into a string stored in $GLOBALS['TSFE']->linkVars

The values are rawurlencoded in PHP.

You can specify a range of valid values by appending a () after each value. If this range does not match, the variable won't be appended to links. This is very important to prevent that the cache system gets flooded with forged values.

The range may contain one of these values:

  • [a]-[b] -A range of allowed integer values

  • int -Only integer values are allowed

  • [a]|[b]|[c] -A list of allowed strings (whitespaces will be removed)

  • /[regex]/ -Match against a regular expression (PCRE style)

You can use the pipe character (|) to access nested properties.

Note

Do not include the type and L parameter in the linkVars list, as this will result in unexpected behavior.

Examples

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.linkVars = print

This will add &print=[print-value] to all links in TYPO3.

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.linkVars = tracking|green(0-5)

With the above configuration the following example GET parameters will be kept: &tracking[green]=3. But a get parameter like tracking[blue] will not be kept.

message_preview

Property

message_preview

Data type

string

Description

Alternative message in HTML that appears when the preview function is active.

message_preview_workspace

Property

message_preview_workspace

Data type

string

Description

Alternative message in HTML that appears when the preview function is active in a draft workspace. You can use sprintf() placeholders for Workspace title (first) and number (second).

Examples

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.message_preview_workspace = <div class="previewbox">Displaying workspace named "%s" (number %s)!</div>
config.message_preview_workspace = <div class="previewbox">Displaying workspace number %2$s named "%1$s"!</div>

metaCharset

Changed in version 12.0: The TYPO3 frontend is always rendered in UTF-8, therefore setting config.metaCharset has no effect anymore.

Migration:

TYPO3 Installations with a different charset than UTF-8 should convert their own content in a custom middleware, as this specific use-case is not supported by TYPO3 Core anymore.

moveJsFromHeaderToFooter

Property

moveJsFromHeaderToFooter

Data type

boolean

Description

If set, all JavaScript (includes and inline) will be moved to the bottom of the HTML document, which is after the content and before the closing body tag.

MP_defaults

Property

MP_defaults

Data type

string

Description

Allows you to set a list of page id numbers which will always have a certain "&MP=..." parameter added.

Syntax:

[id],[id],... : [MP-var] | [id],[id],... : [MP-var] | ...

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.MP_defaults = 36,37,48 : 2-207

This will by default add &MP=2-207 to all links pointing to pages 36,37 and 48.

MP_disableTypolinkClosestMPvalue

Property

MP_disableTypolinkClosestMPvalue

Data type

boolean

Description

If set, the typolink function will not try to find the closest MP value for the id.

MP_mapRootPoints

Property

MP_mapRootPoints

Data type

list of PIDs / string

Description

Defines a list of ID numbers from which the MP-vars are automatically calculated for the branch.

The result is used just like MP_defaults are used to find MP-vars if none has been specified prior to the call to \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Typolink\PageLinkBuilder.

You can specify root as a special keyword in the list of IDs and that will create a map-tree for the whole site (but this may be VERY processing intensive if there are many pages!).

The order of IDs specified may have a significance; Any ID in a branch which is processed already (by a previous ID root point) will not be processed again.

The configured IDs have to be the uids of Mount Point pages itself, not the targets.

namespaces

Property

namespaces

Data type

(array of strings)

Description

This property enables you to add xml namespaces (xmlns) to the <html> tag. This is especially useful if you want to add RDFa or microformats to your HTML.

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.namespaces.dc = http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
config.namespaces.foaf = http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/

This configuration will result in an <html> tag like:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
<html xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
   xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/">

no_cache

Property

no_cache

Data type

boolean

Default

0

Description

If this is set to 1, it disables the pages cache, meaning that the rendered result/response will not be saved to cache. If set to 0, it's ignored. Rendered result (e.g. full html of a page) is stored in the pages cache. Other parameters may have set it to true for other reasons. Note that setting this to 1 doesn't disable other TYPO3 caches. Instead of setting config.no_cache you might consider changing dynamic (non-cacheable) content from USER to USER_INT (COA to COA_INT) For more information about cache types see cache types chapter.

noPageTitle

Property

noPageTitle

Data type

integer

Default

0

Description

If you only want to have the site name (from the template record) in your <title> tag, set this to 1. If the value is 2 then the <title> tag is not printed at all.

Please take note that this tag is required for (X)HTML compliant output, so you should only disable this tag if you generate it manually already.

pageRendererTemplateFile

Property

pageRendererTemplateFile

Data type

string

Default

EXT:core/Resources/Private/Templates/PageRenderer.html

Description

Sets the template for page renderer class TYPO3\CMS\Core\Page\PageRenderer.

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
pageRendererTemplateFile = fileadmin/test_pagerender.html

pageTitle

Property

pageTitle

Data type

stdWrap

Description

stdWrap for the page title. This option will be executed after all other processing options like pageTitleFirst.

pageTitleFirst

Property

pageTitleFirst

Data type

boolean

Default

0

Description

TYPO3 by default prints a title tag in the format "website: page title".

If pageTitleFirst is set (and if the page title is printed), then the page title will be printed IN FRONT OF the template title. So it will look like "page title: website".

pageTitleProviders

Property

pageTitleProviders

Data type

array

Description

In order to keep setting the titles in control, an API to set the page title is available. The API uses PageTitleProviders to define the page title based on page record and the content on the page.

Based on the priority of the providers, the PageTitleProviderManager will check the providers if a title is given by the provider. It will start with the highest priority PageTitleProviders and will end with the lowest in priority.

Examples

By default, TYPO3 ships with two providers:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.pageTitleProviders {
   record {
      provider = TYPO3\CMS\Core\PageTitle\RecordPageTitleProvider
   }
   seo {
      provider = TYPO3\CMS\Seo\PageTitle\SeoTitlePageTitleProvider
      before = record
   }
}

The ordering of the providers is based on the before and after parameters. If you want a provider to be handled before a specific other provider, set that provider in the before, do the same with after.

Note

The seo PageTitleProvider is only available with installed SEO system extension.

You can find information about creating own PageTitleProviders in the section PageTitle API.

pageTitleSeparator

Property

pageTitleSeparator

Data type

string / stdWrap

Default

: (colon with following space)

Description

The signs which should be printed in the title tag between the website name and the page title. If pageTitleSeparator is set, but no sub-properties are defined, then a space will be added to the end of the separator. stdWrap is useful to adjust whitespaces at the beginning and the end of the separator.

Examples

This produces a title tag with the content "website . page title":

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.pageTitleSeparator = .

This produces a title tag with the content "website - page title":

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.pageTitleSeparator = -
config.pageTitleSeparator.noTrimWrap = | | |

This produces a title tag with the content "website*page title":

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.pageTitleSeparator = *
config.pageTitleSeparator.noTrimWrap = |||

If you want to remove the web page title from the displayed title, choose a separator that is not included in the web page title. Then split the title from that character and return the second part only:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.pageTitleSeparator = *
config.pageTitle.stdWrap {
    split {
        token = *
        returnKey = 1
    }
}

removeDefaultCss

Property

removeDefaultCss

Data type

boolean

Description

Remove CSS generated by _CSS_DEFAULT_STYLE configuration of extensions. (_CSS_DEFAULT_STYLE outputs a set of default styles, just because an extension is installed.)

removeDefaultJS

Property

removeDefaultJS

Data type

boolean / string

Default

external

Description

If set, the default JavaScript in the header will be removed.

The default JavaScript is the decryption function for email addresses.

Special case: If the value is "external", then the default JavaScript is written to a temporary file and included from that file. See inlineStyle2TempFile.

Examples

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.removeDefaultJS = external
config.removeDefaultJS = 1

sendCacheHeaders

Property

sendCacheHeaders

Data type

boolean

Description

If set, TYPO3 will output cache-control headers to the client based mainly on whether the page was cached internally. This feature allows client browsers and/or reverse proxies to take load off TYPO3 websites.

The conditions for allowing client caching are:

  • page was cached

  • No *_INT or *_EXT objects were on the page (e.g. USER and USER_INT)

  • No frontend user is logged in

  • No backend user is logged in

If these conditions are met, the headers sent are:

  • Last-Modified [SYS_LASTCHANGED of page id]

  • Expires [expire time of page cache]

  • ETag [md5 of content]

  • Cache-Control: max-age: [seconds til expiretime]

  • Pragma: public

In case caching is not allowed, these headers are sent to avoid client caching:

  • Cache-Control: private, no-store

Notice that enabling the browser caches means you have to consider how log files are written. Because when a page is cached on the client it will not invoke a request to the webserver, thus not writing the request to the log. There should be ways to circumvent these problems but they are outside the domain of TYPO3 in any case.

Tip: Enabling cache-control headers might confuse editors seeing old content served from the browser cache. "Shift-Reload" will bypass both browser- and reverse-proxy caches and even make TYPO3 regenerate the page. Teach them that trick!

Thanks to Ole Tange, www.forbrug.dk for co-authoring this feature.

showWebsiteTitle

New in version 12.0.

Property

showWebsiteTitle

Data type

boolean

Default

1

Description

The option can be used to specify whether the website title defined in the site configuration should be added to the page title (used for the <title> tag, for example).

By default, the website title is added. To omit the website title, the option has to be set to 0.

spamProtectEmailAddresses

Property

spamProtectEmailAddresses

Data type

-10 to 10

Description

If set, then all email addresses in typolinks will be encrypted so that it is harder for spam bots to detect them.

If you set this value to a number, then the encryption is an offset of character values. If you set this value to "-2" then all characters will have their ASCII value offset by "-2". To make this possible, a little JavaScript code is added to every generated web page!

(It is recommended to set the value in the range from -5 to 1 since setting it to >= 2 means a "z" is converted to "|" which is a special character in TYPO3 tables syntax – and that might confuse columns in tables.)

It is required to enable the default JavaScript and not disable it. (see removeDefaultJS)

spamProtectEmailAddresses_atSubst

Property

spamProtectEmailAddresses_atSubst

Data type

string

Default

(at)

Description

Substitute label for the at-sign (@).

spamProtectEmailAddresses_lastDotSubst

Property

spamProtectEmailAddresses_lastDotSubst

Data type

string

Default

. (just a simple dot)

Description

Substitute label for the last dot in the email address.

Example

(dot)

tx_[extension key with no underscores]_[*]

Property

tx_[extension key with no underscores]_[*]

Data type

array

Description

Configuration space for extensions. This can be used – for example – by plugins that need some TypoScript configuration, but that don't actually display anything in the frontend (i.e. don't receive their configuration as an argument from the frontend rendering process).

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.tx_realurl_enable = 1
config.tx_myextension.width  = 10
config.tx_myextension.length = 20

typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages

Property

typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages

Data type

integer (page id) / keyword "NONE"

Description

If set, typolinks pointing to access restricted pages will still link to the page even though the page cannot be accessed. If the value of this setting is an integer it will be interpreted as a page id to which the link will be directed.

If the value is NONE the original link to the page will be kept although it will generate a page-not-found situation (which can of course be picked up properly by the page-not-found handler and present a nice login form).

See showAccessRestrictedPages for menu objects as well (similar feature for menus)

Property:

New in version 12.3.

.ATagParams: Add custom attributes to the anchor tag.

Example

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
config.typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages = 29
config.typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages.ATagParams = class="restricted"
config.typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages_addParams = &return_url=###RETURN_URL###&pageId=###PAGE_ID###

Will create a link to page with id 29 and add GET parameters where the return URL and original page id is a part of it. Additionally, a CSS class "restricted" is added to the anchor tag.

typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages_addParams

Property

typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages_addParams

Data type

string

Description

See typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages above.

xmlprologue

Property

xmlprologue

Data type

string

Description

If empty (not set) then the default XML 1.0 prologue is set, when the doctype is set to a known keyword (e.g. xhtml_11):

Output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8">

If set to one of the following keywords then a standard prologue will be set:

xml_10: XML 1.0 prologue (see above)

xml_11: XML 1.1 prologue

none: The default XML prologue is not set.

Any other string is used as the XML prologue itself.
