Content Sliding

This article is about how to let a content-element "slide" through the rootline to the actual pages (this is for standard method only... not TV). This means that you insert a Content-Element for example in the Right-Column of your Root-Page and it gets inherited to all subpages.

If you place another Content-Element (CE) into the right column on one of the subpages this CE will substitute the element from the root-page and in this part of the page tree the later CE will get shown.

Note that content does not slide through Sysfolders.

This also supports a few other nifty features like "collecting" all elements till the rootpage and display them all together. It is also possible to give a count value how many levels T3 will try to "slide up". So you could for example always display the combined elements of this and the parent page.

Property reference

See https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/ContentObjects/Content/Index.html.

Examples

Example 1

This first example simply enables content-sliding for the right-column wherever you use it:

styles.content.getRight.slide = -1

The second example enable also collecting of elements.

styles.content.getRight.slide = -1
styles.content.getRight.slide {
  collect = -1
  # collectReverse = 1
}

This example collects only the current and the parent page.

styles.content.getRight.slide = -1
styles.content.getRight.slide {
  collect = 2
  # collectReverse = 1
}

Example 2

The above examples were too confusing for me. This helped to understand it:

sidebar < styles.content.getRight
sidebar.slide = -1

(In Typo3 4.2 is this seemingly the only working Syntax.)
