# Important: Project page reads the page record from page {#important-project-page-reads-the-page-record-from-page}

## Description {#description}

The data processor `project-data` builds the project of a project
page from the page record. It took that record from the variable
`{data}` first, the one a `FLUIDTEMPLATE` page object
assigns, and from the page information object `{page}` of a
`PAGEVIEW` page object only when `{data}` was empty.

`PAGEVIEW`, which TYPO3 v13 offers, reserves `{page}` but not
`{data}`, so a `PAGEVIEW` site package may assign a
`{data}` of its own. A text there failed every project page with a
type error, and the records of a query were read as if they were the page
record.

The processor now takes the record from `{page}` when it is the page
information object, and from `{data}` otherwise. A value that is not
a non-empty array adds no project.

The heading of a project page falls back to the title of the page when the
project has no project title. It read `{data.title}`, which is empty on a
`PAGEVIEW` page object. The template now takes the page record from
`{page.pageRecord}` first and from `{data}` otherwise, too.

## Impact {#impact}

-   A `PAGEVIEW` site package that assigns a variable
    `{data}` of its own, a text or the records of a query for
    example, no longer breaks project pages on TYPO3 v13.
-   A `PAGEVIEW` site package that assigned another page record as
    `{data}` on purpose now gets the project of the page it renders.
-   A project without a project title shows the title of the page as its
    heading on a `PAGEVIEW` page object, where the heading was
    empty.
-   A `FLUIDTEMPLATE` page object on TYPO3 v12 or v13 is not
    affected, also when its site package assigns a variable `{page}` of
    its own.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Installations on TYPO3 v13 that render project pages with a
`PAGEVIEW` page object, in particular when it assigns a variable
`{data}`.
