Settings

Five values configure the three plugins. This page lists all of them, with the default each one ships with.

Settings of the site set

These are the settings the site set Profiles declares. They are edited in the settings editor of a site that uses the set — see Site set — or written to config/sites/<identifier>/settings.yaml by hand.

Name	Type	Label
modernextbasefrontendedit		Profiles
modernextbasefrontendedit.persistence.storagePid	`string`	Storage page
modernextbasefrontendedit.showPageUid	`page`	Detail page
modernextbasefrontendedit.editPageUid	`page`	Edit page
modernextbasefrontendedit.ajaxPageType	`int`	Endpoint page type
modernextbasefrontendedit.imageUploadFolder	`string`	Image upload folder

modernextbasefrontendedit

Label: Profiles

modernextbasefrontendedit.persistence.storagePid

Type: string
Default: "0"
Label: Storage page
Category: Profiles

Comma separated list of page uids the profile records are stored on. There is no value meaning "all pages": an empty configuration lists nothing.

modernextbasefrontendedit.showPageUid

Type: page
Default: 0
Label: Detail page
Category: Profiles

The page holding the profile detail plugin. The list plugin links its entries to this page.

modernextbasefrontendedit.editPageUid

Type: page
Default: 0
Label: Edit page
Category: Profiles

The page holding the profile edit plugin. The list plugin links here for profiles the current frontend user owns, and renders no edit link while this is unset.

modernextbasefrontendedit.ajaxPageType

Type: int
Default: 1589
Label: Endpoint page type
Category: Profiles

The page type the editing endpoints answer on. Change it only when another extension on this site already uses this number.

modernextbasefrontendedit.imageUploadFolder

Type: string
Default: "1:/user_upload/profiles/"
Label: Image upload folder
Category: Profiles

The folder uploaded profile images are stored in, as a combined storage identifier such as "1:/user_upload/profiles/". It is created on the first upload.

The equivalent TypoScript constants

An installation that does not use site sets configures the same values as TypoScript constants. The two spellings differ — the site setting is a flat, dotted key, the constant sits below the Extbase plugin namespace — so they are listed side by side:

Site setting	TypoScript constant	Default
`modernextbasefrontendedit.persistence.storagePid`	`plugin.tx_modernextbasefrontendedit.persistence.storagePid`	`0`
`modernextbasefrontendedit.showPageUid`	`plugin.tx_modernextbasefrontendedit.settings.showPageUid`	`0`
`modernextbasefrontendedit.editPageUid`	`plugin.tx_modernextbasefrontendedit.settings.editPageUid`	`0`
`modernextbasefrontendedit.ajaxPageType`	`plugin.tx_modernextbasefrontendedit.settings.ajaxPageType`	`1589`
`modernextbasefrontendedit.imageUploadFolder`	`plugin.tx_modernextbasefrontendedit.settings.imageUploadFolder`	`1:/user_upload/profiles/`

Note that only the storage page keeps its persistence level in the constant. The other four are Extbase plugin settings and therefore live below settings, while the storage page is framework configuration that Extbase reads from persistence.

Behaviour to be aware of

Two of these values behave in a way that a default does not suggest, and both are worth knowing before a page is built around them.

Important

There is no value meaning "all pages" for the storage page.

An empty or unset storage page is not "search everywhere". Extbase turns the empty configuration into the page id list 0, profile records do not live on the root level, and the list plugin therefore renders its empty state. The value has to name the page — or the comma separated pages — the records are stored on.

Warning

An endpoint page type of 0 makes the edit plugin read only.

The plugin builds one finished URL per editing endpoint from this page type, and it builds none while the value is 0. The editing component is not activated without that map, and what stays on the page is the server rendered profile: readable, complete, and not editable.

That is a deliberate failure mode rather than an error — every button would otherwise call an address that answers with an HTML page instead of JSON — but it does mean a value of 0 silently turns editing off. Change the page type only when the number 1589 collides with another extension on the same site, and change it to another free number, never to 0.

The image upload folder is a combined storage identifier: a storage number, a colon, and a folder path, as in 1:/user_upload/profiles/. Any other shape is refused by the upload configuration, and the endpoint then answers with an error instead of JSON. The folder itself is created on the first upload; the storage it names has to exist. An empty value falls back to the same default.
