Conditions¶
Frontend TypoScript conditions offer a way to conditionally change TypoScript based on current context. Do not confuse conditions with the "if" function, which is a stdWrap property to act on current data.
See also
Have a look at the TypoScript syntax condition chapter for the basic syntax of conditions.
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.

This function has two parameters: The first parameter is the string to search in, the second parameter is the search string.
Example:
# Search a string with * within another string [like("fooBarBaz", "*Bar*")] # Search string with single characters in between, using ? [like("fooBarBaz", "f?oBa?Baz")] # Search string using regular expression [like("fooBarBaz", "/f[o]{2,2}[aBrz]+/")]
traverse()¶
- traverse()¶
- Parameter
Array, String
- Data type
Mixed
This function gets a value from an array with arbitrary depth and suppresses a PHP warning when sub-arrays do not exist. It has two parameters: The first parameter is the array to traverse, the second parameter is the path to traverse.
In case the path is not found in the array, an empty string is returned.
Example:
# Traverse query parameters of current request along tx_news_pi1[news] [request && traverse(request.getQueryParams(), 'tx_news_pi1/news') > 0]
Tip
Checking for the request object to be available before using
traverse()
may be necessary, for example, when using Extbase repositories in CLI context (as Extbase depends on TypoScript and on the command line is no request object available). This avoids the errorUnable to call method "getQueryParams" of non-object "request"
.
compatVersion()¶
- compatVersion()¶
- Parameter
String
- Data type
Boolean
Compares against the current TYPO3 branch.
Example:
# True, if the current TYPO3 version is 12.4.x [compatVersion("12.4")] # True, if the current TYPO3 version is 12.4.5 [compatVersion("12.4.5")]
getTSFE()¶
- getTSFE()¶
- Data type
Object
Provides access to TypoScriptFrontendController
$GLOBALS['TSFE']
. This function can directly access methods ofTypoScriptFrontendController
. This class is target of a mid-term refactoring. It should be used with care since it will eventually vanish in the future.Using the
getTSFE()
function, developers have to ensure that "TSFE" is available before accessing its properties. A missing "TSFE", for example, in backend context, does no longer automatically evaluate the whole condition tofalse
. Instead, the function returnsnull
, which can be checked using either[getTSFE() && getTSFE().id == 17]
or the null-safe operator[getTSFE()?.id == 17]
.Example:
# True, if the current page UID is 17. Use the page variable instead [getTSFE()?.id == 17]
feature()¶
- feature()¶
- Data type
String
Provides access to the current state of feature toggles.
Example:
# True, if the feature toggle for enforcing the Content Security Policy # in the frontend is enabled [feature("security.frontend.enforceContentSecurityPolicy") === true]
ip()¶
Changed in version 13.0: This function is only available in TypoScript frontend context. For migration hints see the changelog.
- ip()¶
- Parameter
String
- Data type
Boolean
Value or constraint, wildcard or regular expression possible; special value: "devIP" (matches the devIPmask).
Example:
[ip("172.18.*")] page.10.value = Your IP matches "172.18.*" [END] [ip("devIP")] page.10.value = Your IP matches the configured devIp [END]
request()¶
Deprecated since version 12.3: Using this function in page TSconfig or user TSconfig conditions is deprecated. Such conditions will stop working with TYPO3 v13 and will then always evaluate to false. For migration hints see the changelog.
- request()¶
- Data type
Mixed
Allows to fetch information from current request.
Tip
Checking for the request object before
using in a condition may be necessary, for example, when using
Extbase repositories in
CLI context (as Extbase
depends on TypoScript and on the command line is no request object
available). This avoids, for example, the error
Unable to call method "getQueryParams" of non-object "request"
.
request.getQueryParams()¶
- request.getQueryParams()¶
- Data type
Array
Allows to access GET parameters from current request.
Assuming the following query within URL:
route=%2Fajax%2Fsystem-information%2Frender&token=5c53e9b715362e7b0c3275848068133b89bbed77&skipSessionUpdate=1
then the following array would be provided:
- Key:
route
Value:
/ajax/system-information/render
- Key:
token
Value:
5c53e9b715362e7b0c3275848068133b89bbed77
- Key:
skipSessionUpdate
Value:
1
Example:
# Safely check the query parameter array to avoid error logs in case key # is not defined. This will check if the GET parameter # tx_news_pi1[news] in the URL is greater than 0: [request && traverse(request.getQueryParams(), 'tx_news_pi1/news') > 0]
request.getParsedBody()¶
- request.getParsedBody()¶

- Data type
Array

- request.getCookieParams()¶
- Data type

- request.getNormalizedParams()¶
- Data type
Array
Provides access to the
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Http\NormalizedParams
object. Have a look at the normalized parameters of the request object for a list of the available methods.Example:
[request && request.getNormalizedParams().isHttps()] page.10.value = HTTPS is being used [END] [request && request.getNormalizedParams().getHttpHost() == "example.org"] page.10.value = The host is "example.org" [END]

- request.getPageArguments()¶
- Data type

session()¶
- session()¶
- Parameter
String
- Data type
Mixed
Allows to access values of the current session. Available values depend on values written to the session, for example, by extensions. Use
