Important: The plugin assigns a record view variable 

Description 

TYPO3 v14 rewrote the header partial of EXT:fluid_styled_content. Where v13 Header/All.html reads {data.header}, the v14 Header/All.fluid.html renders header and subheader with {record -> f:render.text(...)}, and that ViewHelper requires a record object.

The shipped Contacts/List.html does not render that partial: the header of the content element comes from the layout of lib.contentElement around it. A site package that moves the header into its own list template instead, and leaves it out of the layout of this content element, renders the partial there, and on TYPO3 v14 such a template aborted with

The Contacts for this page content element now assigns an additional record view variable, built from the tt_content row of the current content element, as the plugins of EXT:academic_jobs and EXT:academic_bite_jobs do. TYPO3 v13 ignores it, its header partial keeps reading data.

Impact 

Nothing was removed or renamed. A template override may render the core header partial, for example with <f:render partial="Header/All" arguments="{_all}" />, or use {record} directly. Rendering the partial takes three things:

  • EXT:fluid_styled_content/Resources/Private/Partials/ in the partial root paths of the plugin,
  • the default header type in the plugin settings, which the partial falls back to for the header layout Default and which plugin settings do not carry: plugin.tx_academiccontacts4pages.settings.defaultHeaderType = {$styles.content.defaultHeaderType} ,

  • a layout for this content element that does not render the header as well — with the layout of EXT:fluid_styled_content the header appears twice. A copy of its Default layout without the two Header blocks keeps the frame, the anchor and the spacing classes:

Affected Installations 

Installations running the content element on TYPO3 v14 with a list template of their own. TYPO3 v13 installations are unaffected.

Migration 

None required.
