TSFE.constants in Typo3 ver. 4.1.5

[Anders Kongsted]

Hi,

I can't get TSFE.constants to work.
On one of my pages I have in my TS:

TSFE.constants.websiteConfig.siteColor = #119911

And in my template I have:

temp.menu1 = HMENU
temp.menu1 {
  1 = GMENU
  1 {
    NO = 1
    NO {
      wrap = <td> | </td>
      backColor = ${websiteConfig.siteColor}
      ...
    }
}

But the color doesn't change - it's black (#000000).

Any solutions? :)

Regards
Anders Kongsted

Side note for other readers: this is in TSConfig.

According to docs correct syntax is:

backColor = {$websiteConfig.siteColor}

A number of problems:

1. Incorrect syntax in the TS template

[as noted by Dmitri]


2. Declaration does not match call

[i.e. "TSFE.constants.websiteConfig.siteColor" is different from
"websiteConfig.siteColor"--it should NOT be different; if you check
the TSref, you'll see that constants are replaced by simple
str_replace (1), so if one is different from the other, no replacement
can occur]


3. You appear to have entered some part of your TS in the wrong field!

[Quoting: "Side note for other readers: this is in TSConfig." This is
wrong. TS constant declarations belong in the "Constants" field of the
TEMPLATE record, not in the TSconfig field of the page or user record.
Similarly, your actual TS objects belong in the "Setup" field of the
template record]

Hi Christopher,

I have the code from here:
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsconfig/4.0.0/view/1/3/#id2800466

If I read the description for "constants", I can't see your point in our
second reply? Or i'm I wrong? If so, please send a link, where I can
read some more... :)

Please, take a look into TSConfig document first, specifically at the {link below + 1 page down in the browser}:
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsconfig/4.1.0/view/1/3/#id3546072

Right. I haven't read that bit of the TSconfig doc for a long while as
you can probably tell. In any case, a few minutes' testing leads me to
suspect that your problem might be with your GMENU--that is, if your
constants are set up as you've described. Either way, you need to
check your code over in detail--what you've given here does seem to be
right.

This TS code in the template (borrowed from the TS by Example manual):


page.1000 = HMENU
page.1000.1 = GMENU
page.1000.1.NO {
  XY = [10.w],[10.h]
  backColor = {$websiteConfig.id}
  10 = TEXT
  10.text.field = title
  10.offset = 0,7
}


And this code in the TSconfig field of the root page record:


TSFE.constants.websiteConfig.id = #ff9900


Yields the expected result: a GMENU with a garish orange background :-)

Already corrected my earlier mistake. It seems the whole TSconfig
document does not fit in my head :)

It's exactly what I have done.

Template - setup:

temp.menu1 = HMENU
temp.menu1 {
1 = GMENU
1 {
NO = 1
NO {
wrap = <td> | </td>
backColor = {$websiteConfig.id}
XY = 150,20

...

TSconfig:
TSFE.constants.websiteConfig.id = #aa0099

I tried to change siteColor to id - just to try something.... :)

But..... No.... It doesn't work.... :(

I had read an email on the list, with another person who had the same
problem after an upgrade from 3.X to 4.X.... Could it be the same
problem? A little unwanted feature (also known as a bug)? :)

Unlikely such a bug would have survived so long into the 4.x series
with few references.

Questions for you:

1. Does your GMENU work when you use the literal hex value instead of
the constant?

2. Does the expected value show up in the TS Object Browser when
you've got the "Constants display" option set to "Plain substitution"
or "Substituted constants in green"?

3. Does anything change if you use "lib.menu1" instead of
"temp.menu1"? (*If* there is a difference when you do this though, I'd
expect it to be output -vs- no output)

1: Yes. If I use the following code, I get a dark blue bg.

temp.menu1 = HMENU
temp.menu1 {
  1 = GMENU
  1 {
    NO = 1  
    NO {
      wrap = <td> | </td>
      backColor = #123456
      XY = 150,20
...

2: I got the following in my page TS Obj. Browser.

[TSFE]
[constants]
[siteColor]=*#FF0000*
[websiteConfig]
[id]=*#aa0099*

And I can also get this from the obj. browser:
   
 
Welcome

TSFE.constants.websiteConfig.id = #aa0099



 From my template TS obj. browser I can only see:
       
*CONSTANTS ROOT*

       
[siteColor]=*#FF0000*


That one I can use, but that settings is from the root of the website,
and I need individual colors. I had tried to insert
"TSFE.constants.siteColor = #987654" in the page TSconfig, but it doen't
make any changes. :(

3: No changes.... :/

Wait: do you mean you're trying to vary the colour for individual
pages by placing different values in various pages' TSconfig fields?
If so, then this may apply:

"Notice: In the frontend the setting of default constants will only
apply to a branch of the tree if a template record is found on that
page (or if a template record is set for "next level"). In other
words: If you want the Page TSconfig constant defaults to affect only
a certain branch of the page tree, make sure to create a template
record (a blank one will do) on the page that carries the Page
TSconfig information."

(From the TSconfig page you linked to earlier)

Okay. I see the problem.
I have now created some template extension, and it change the colors.

Is there an easy way to change the color on each page, AND have
different colors on each menu options?

Menu 1 - blue menu options, and blue theme.
Menu 2 - red menu options, and red theme.
Menu 3 - green menu option, and green theme.

Or is the only way to do it with template extension to the page-color,
and optionsSplit to the menu-color?

Anders Kongsted

I can't make sense of what you're trying to do from this description.
Post a graphic somewhere or post some sample html code. Between
TYPO3's constants, conditions, and optionsplit (to say nothing of CSS
etc), it shouldn't be too difficult...
