Reference 

See Rendering Architecture for how GridChildrenProcessor fits into rendering overall, and DataProcessing for how to configure it. This page lists its TypoScript options and their defaults.

TypoScript 

setup 

Property
dataProcessing
Data type
array of class references by full namespace
Description
Add one or multiple processors to manipulate the $data variable of the currently rendered content object, like tt_content or page. The sub-property options can be used to pass parameters to the processor class.
Default
10 = GridElementsTeam\Gridelements\DataProcessing\GridChildrenProcessor

dataProcessing.123.default 

Property
default
Data type
Internal
Description
The default setup used by any Grid Element layout that has not got its own setup available. Layouts are assigned by their identifier. Just provide individual blocks myIdentifier{...} for each layout.
Default
default

dataProcessing.123.default.as 

Property
as
Data type
Internal / stdWrap
Description
This will be the name of the variable filled with the output generated by the GridChildrenProcessor. You can access it via {children} from within your Fluid template.
Default
children

dataProcessing.123.default.options 

Property
options
Data type
Internal
Description
Can contain any of the following options to determine the behaviour of the GridChildrenProcessor.
Default
N/A

dataProcessing.123.default.options.sortingDirection 

Property
sortingDirection
Data type
String / stdWrap
Description
Determines the sorting direction of the database query for children. Only desc is treated specially; any other value, including asc, results in ascending sorting.
Default
asc

dataProcessing.123.default.options.sortingField 

Property
sortingField
Data type
String / stdWrap
Description
Determines the sorting field of the database query for children. Can be any field name but you have to make sure that the field exists yourself, otherwise the query might fail.
Default
sorting

dataProcessing.123.default.options.recursive 

Property
recursive
Data type
Integer / stdWrap
Description
Determines how many additional levels of a nested container's own children are pre-fetched within this single processing pass. This is a data-eagerness setting, not a structural depth limit; nesting itself is unconditional regardless of this value, see Nesting. The whole pre-fetched tree of children will be handed over to the variable as a data array. Be aware of the fact that this ignores different setups of child elements
Default
0

dataProcessing.123.default.options.resolveFlexFormData 

Property
resolveFlexFormData
Data type
Boolean / stdWrap
Description
Determines if FlexForms of containers should be resolved and assigned to virtual fields named flexform\_my\_fieldname. Setting this option to 0 will disable resolving of child FlexForms too, unless you explicitly allow them using resolveChildFlexFormData
Default
1

dataProcessing.123.default.options.resolveChildFlexFormData 

Property
resolveChildFlexFormData
Data type
Boolean / stdWrap
Description
Determines if FlexForms of children should be resolved and assigned to virtual fields named flexform\_my\_fieldname. The default will be overridden by setting resolveFlexFormData to 0
Default
1

dataProcessing.123.default.options.resolveBackendLayout 

Property
resolveBackendLayout
Data type
Boolean / stdWrap
Description
Determines if CE-BackendLayouts should be resolved. This is applied to the current Grid Element itself, not only to its children: its resolved layout information is required for processing the Grid structure, including its rows and columns. Child Grid Elements may then also have their Backend Layout information resolved, assigned to virtual fields named tx\_gridelements\_backend\_layout\_resolved. Use this information e.g. to generate CSS classes based on layout data.
Default
1

dataProcessing.123.default.options.respectColumns 

Property
respectColumns
Data type
Boolean / stdWrap
Description
Determines if layout columns should be recognized and assigned while rendering children. When enabled, children itself becomes a matrix indexed by the Grid Elements structural column identifiers, based on tx\_gridelements\_columns, instead of a flat list.
Default
1

dataProcessing.123.default.options.respectRows 

Property
respectRows
Data type
Boolean / stdWrap
Description
Determines if layout rows should be recognized and assigned while rendering columns. When enabled, children itself is indexed by row instead of by column, and each row directly contains the column-indexed child arrays described under respectColumns. Sets respectColumns internally if not set.
Default
1
