Accessing “parent” record from DS TypoScript¶
To access “parent” record from “tt_content” or “pages” table in the <TypoScript> section of a field, developer can use special registers. These registers defined only when <TypoScript> section is executed. The following example shows how to use these registers:
<TypoScript>
10 = TEXT
10.data = register:tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.parentRec.uid
10.wrap = “uid” field of parent record is |
</TypoScript>
Thus any field of parent record is defined as tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.parentRec.XXX register, where XXX is replaced by a field name from the corresponding table.
Notice that these registers are undefined for static data structures because static data structures do not have associated parent record. If reference to tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.parentRec.XXX appears in the static data structure, result is undefined.
Section information within DS TypoScript¶
When using TypoScript for items within sections TemplaVoila 1.4 introduced 4 new registers to determine the position of the current item within the entire section. They are defined as tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.sectionPos , tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.sectionCount , tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.sectionIsFirstItem and tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.sectionIsLastItem .
Example:
<TypoScript>
10 = TEXT
10.current = 1
10.dataWrap = {register:tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.sectionPos} / {register:tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.sectionCount}
10.if.isTrue.data = register:tx_templavoilaplus_pi1.sectionIsFirstItem
</TypoScript>
