TYPO3 Core

I set it like this in the site configuration settings.yaml file:

myextension:
  news:
    startingPoint: 14
    categoryUid: 2

If I leave out the condition part, this works btw:

TCAdefaults {
  tx_news_domain_model_news {
    categories = {$myextension.news.categoryUid}
  }
}

Not exactly my area but have you checked https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ApiOverview/SiteHandling/UseSiteInConditions.html#typoscript-examples and tried something like:

[traverse(page, "uid") == site("configuration")["myextension.news.startingPoint"]]

Could also be

[traverse(page, "uid") == site("configuration")["myextension"]["news"][startingPoint"]]

I believe expressions are diffferently evaluated and maybe before other constants are resolved like for content assignment in "pure" typoscript.

(Can't check the code right now as I'm only on mobile but maybe this helps)

I now finally tried this with v14 main and v13.

I used the dummy installation here: https://github.com/TYPO3-Documentation/site-introduction.git

- git clone
- ddev start
- make install
- enter password
- ddev launch typo3
- login to backend
- Create file config/sites/main/settings.yaml
- Insert simple content somePageUid: 7
- Edit page properties of page UID 7 and set TSconfig to:

[traverse(page, "uid") == {$somePageUid}]
TCEFORM.tt_content.header_layout {
  removeItems := addToList(100)
}
[global]

TCEFORM.tt_content.header_layout {
  removeItems := addToList(4,5)
}

Could you please describe where I diverge from the setup that creates the issues for you? Do you maybe have an extension at work that operates on the symfony expressions and manipulate it?

I can't seem to get it to work. Even without the variable, a simple:

[traverse(page, "uid") == 1]

only works sometimes in Page TSconfig, i.e.:

[traverse(page, "uid") == 14]

TCAdefaults {
  tx_news_domain_model_news {
    categories = 2
  }
}

[END]

I can't really figure out why it works sometimes or why it fails when I reload all caches of replace 14 with a variable from the site configuration settings.

Can you please check if the above code is working for you? I don't get any errors in the TYPO3 log file, even with my custom conditions. I also deactivated my custom conditions but still, this is almost only working once and only on page ID 1. Page ID 14 i.e. is not working every time. This is just for TSconfig, in TypoScript the same condition works every time, i.e.

[traverse(page, "uid") == 4]

page >

[END]

Can you also please check a variable like this extension.xyz.somePageUid instead of only somePageUid?

I set the page TSconfig in the file Configuration/page.tsconfig and not in the page properties. But even in the page properties the condition won't work.

Yes, I also verified this works with a extensions.xxx.yyy subarray.

It would be helpful if you can get the site-introduction repository to work for us to align our tests?

Your problem could stem from several issues (sitepackages, third party extensions, pagetree TS) and we need to find the minimal setup to trigger your problem. If you can see it working with the site-introduction, then you could try to step-by-step add other parts into it, and see where the problem may be caused.

We can only progress here if you could please do what I asked with the site-introduction package and exact steps to reproduce. Thank you!

I finally figured out what the problem was and this was on my side as I loaded the whole TSconfig for a check in a custom function (BackendUtility::getPagesTSconfig). I fixed this and not the conditions are working, although an error is still thrown in the log file as I mentioned before:

Sat, 11 Jan 2025 17:48:00 +0100 [ERROR] request="58d8e84cf1bf9" component="TYPO3.CMS.Core.TypoScript.IncludeTree.Visitor.IncludeTreeConditionMatcherVisitor": Expression could not be parsed. - {"expression":"traverse(page, \"uid\") == {$somePageUid}"}

This is also the case in my test environment with the introduction package as you suggested. Can you confirm this?
