Conditions¶

- For full explanations about conditions, especially about condition syntax, please refer to the TypoScript Syntax chapter of the Core API. The “new” condition syntax (since TYPO3 9.4) is based on the symfony expression language
- TypoScript also offers the “if” function to create conditions.

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:

- 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:
route=%2Fajax%2Fsystem-information%2Frender&token=5c53e9b715362e7b0c3275848068133b89bbed77&skipSessionUpdate=1the following array would be provided:
