# Important: The page template name of the academic partner page type is set explicitly {#important-1786968000}

## Description {#description}

This extension registers a page type with a backend layout and ships the page
template for it in `Resources/Private/Pages/`. Its TypoScript adds that
directory to `page.10.templateRootPaths`, but it did not set
`page.10.templateName`, the property that actually selects the file.

A site package deriving the name from the backend layout therefore did not find
it. [`bk2k/bootstrap-package`](https://packagist.org/packages/bk2k/bootstrap-package) does exactly that:

```typoscript
templateName.cObject = TEXT
templateName.cObject {
  data = pagelayout
  case = uppercamelcase
  split {
    token = pagets__
    cObjNum = 1
    1.current = 1
  }
}
```

`case = uppercamelcase` is
`GeneralUtility::underscoredToUpperCamelCase()`, which lowercases the whole
string before it camel cases it on underscores. The registered backend layout
`pagets__AcademicPartner` therefore resolved to
`Academicpartner.html`, and the frontend ended in an
`InvalidTemplateResourceException`. In a production context the page body
read *Oops, an error occurred!*.

The extension now sets the name itself, inside the page type condition it
already uses:

```typoscript
[page && traverse(page, "doktype") == 40]
  page.10 {
    templateName >
    templateName = AcademicPartner
  }
[END]
```

The property has to be cleared first. The Bootstrap package assigns
`templateName.cObject`, and a cObject overwrites the plain value in
`ContentObjectRenderer::stdWrapValue()`, so assigning without clearing
would change nothing.

## Impact {#impact}

A page of this type renders its template on a site package that derives the
name from the backend layout, where it previously did not render at all.

Nothing changes for a site package that sets the name itself, as long as it does
so after this extension's TypoScript, and nothing changes for a
`PAGEVIEW` page object on TYPO3 v13. That content object ignores
`templateName` and resolves the file from `paths`, which
is why that integration worked before and is unaffected now.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

All installations of this extension that use a `FLUIDTEMPLATE` page
object. An installation that shipped `Academicpartner.html` in its own
site package to work around this loses that override: the template of this
extension is used instead. Clearing `page.10.templateName` after
this extension's TypoScript restores it.

The name only takes effect when the TypoScript of this extension is parsed
after the TypoScript that assigns `templateName.cObject`.
Otherwise the name is overwritten again, and a page of this type ends in the
exception described above:

-   On TYPO3 v13 and v14 the TypoScript of the site sets is parsed before the
    TypoScript of the `sys_template` records. The static template of the
    Bootstrap Package, which its version 15 offers and its version 16 no longer
    does, therefore wins over the name the set of this extension sets, and so
    does a record of the site package that assigns
    `templateName.cObject` itself. Include the Bootstrap Package
    through its site set instead, or include the static template of this
    extension after the one of the Bootstrap Package in the same record.
-   On TYPO3 v12 the static templates of a record are parsed in the order of
    the record. Include the static template of this extension after the one of
    the Bootstrap Package.

**Included TypoScript** in the module **TypoScript** shows the
order on a page of this type.
