TypoScript Content Object FOLDER

The Problem

Existing TYPO3 TypoScript Content Objects make it hard to load sysfolders:

• The CONTENT cObj is restricted to not load pages with doktype 200 and above (sysfolders have 254).
• If you want to use the RECORDS cObj you need to know the uid of the sysfolder.

The Solution

This extension introduces a new TypoScript cObj called FOLDER.

Example to load one folder uid:

lib.footerNavigationPid = FOLDER
lib.footerNavigationPid {
  containsModule = tx_myext_footernavigation
  restrictToRootPage = 1
  renderObj = TEXT
  renderObj.field = uid
  limit = 1
}

This will load the uid of the folders that has tx_myext_footernavigation assigned in the pages.module (contains module) field - and is on the first level of the current rootline.

Example to load a list of folder uids:

lib.footerNavigationPid = FOLDER
lib.footerNavigationPid {
  containsModule = tx_myext_footernavigation
  renderObj = TEXT
  renderObj.field = uid
  renderObj.wrap = |,
  stdWrap.substring = 0,-1
}

This will load the uids of all folders that have tx_myext_footernavigation assigned in the pages.module (contains module) field. The last trailing comma is removed by stdWrap.substring = 0,-1.
