Example: Set the default storage page via TypoScript constant

You can use the TypoScript provider or other means of setting the TypoScript constants.

Changed in version 13.1

It is recommended to use the Settings for the "Frontend Login" site set instead, as TypoScript constants will be phased out in the future.

config/sites/MySite/constants.typoscript

styles.content.loginform {
  pid = 42
  recursive = 255
}

Example: Set the default storage page via TypoScript setup

In order to set the default storage page to a more dynamic value, use the TypoScript setup. Use the TypoScript provider or other means of ref:setting the TypoScript setup <t3tsref:using-and-setting>.

config/sites/MySite/constants.typoscript

[{$tx_my_extension.settings.feature1Enabled} == 1]
  plugin.tx_felogin_login.settings.pid = 123
[ELSE]
  plugin.tx_felogin_login.settings.pid = 42
[END]

Example: Override the default storage page in the plugin's FlexForm

If you set any FlexForm setting within the content element representing the plugin to a non-empty value it will override any other setting not matter if it is made via site settings, TypoScript constant ot TypoScript setup. Empty values take no effect if a default was set by other means.

In the backend module Content > Layout edit the content element containing the login form. Go to tab Plugin and sub tab General. You should see a form similar to the following:

A screenshot showing the "General" tab of the plugin settings — Settings in the tab General of the plugin tab

Choose the desired page or pages in the field with label User Storage Page (key settings.pages).

Tip

It is sometimes hard to determine, which label in the FlexForm corresponds to which key in the FlexForm reference.

Turn on the backend debug mode to get a visual hint in the backend for the keys of the FlexForm field.
