This is the main plugin for showing TypoTonic records on the frontend. It can show a list of records, or the details of a single record.

​
Configuration

​
Plugin Type

The Plugin Type decides what is injected into your Fluid template.
  • List — Multiple records, injected into {records}.
  • Detail — One fixed record, selected in the plugin, injected into {record}.
  • Dynamic Detail — One record, chosen dynamically from a URL parameter, injected into {record}.
  • Raw Fluid — Renders Fluid code without loading any record. Useful for showing custom content or variables without a record context.

​
Datatype

Select which Datatype’s records this plugin shows.

​
Record

Only shown for single-record plugin types, such as Detail. Select the specific record to show.

​
Page for Detail View

Link a record to a detail page that contains a Dynamic Detail plugin. You can set the target page with a Fluid condition, so different conditions can link to different detail pages. A condition is valid when it is empty or evaluates to true. Link a record with the t:link.record ViewHelper:
See ViewHelpers for all available ViewHelpers.

​
Record Storage Page

Select the page where the records for this Datatype are stored. Selecting the Record Storage Page in the Display Records plugin Selecting a Record Storage Page

​
Field/Value Filter Settings

  • Available Markers — Shows which markers are available in your Fluid filter code, based on the variables you selected for injection.
  • Filter Condition — Build a filter to control which records are shown. Filters modify the underlying database query.
  • Condition for activating the filter (Fluid) — A Fluid condition that decides when the filter is active. Leave it empty to always activate the filter.
Example of a Field/Value Filter configuration Example filter configuration

​
Repository Settings

  • Limit — The maximum number of records to show.
  • Sorting — Configure one or more sort orders. Each sorting can be activated through a variable, for example a GET parameter, so you can offer several sort options on the same page.
  • Condition for activating the filter (Fluid) — Same as above, a Fluid condition that decides when this sorting is active.
Example sorting configuration using a GET parameter Example: sorting that changes direction based on a ?argument=title-down parameter

​
Template Settings

  • Template Selection — Choose how the template is rendered:
    • Debug Template — Shows debug information. This is the default.
    • Select a custom template path — Choose a Fluid file from your file system.
    • Enter custom fluid code — Write Fluid code directly in the plugin.
    • Your configured template — Shows any templates you predefined in TypoScript. See Templating.
  • Render this Template without Sitetemplate — Shows only this plugin’s output, without the rest of the page template.
  • Template Switch — Use a different template when a Fluid condition matches, instead of the template selected above.
  • Variable Injection — Select which Template Variables are injected into the Fluid template. When a condition field is shown elsewhere in the plugin, this section tells you which variables you can use in it.

​
Overrides

Overrides let a Template Variable replace a plugin setting automatically, whenever that variable has a value.

​
Developer Settings

  • Debug — Shows the SQL query used to fetch records, above the rendered page.
  • Custom Headers — Sends or overwrites response headers. Use this to output XML or JSON with a Content-Type header, or force a file download with Content-Disposition.
