6. Constants

6.1. What are constants?

Constants are values defined in the "Constants"-field of a template. They follow the syntax of ordinary TypoScript!

NOTE, reserved name: The object or property "file" is always interpreted as data type "resource".

NOTE: Toplevel "object" TSConstantEditor cannot be used. It's reserved for configuration of the ConstantEditor module (Changed from beta4)

Example:

Here "bgCol" is set to "red" and "file.toplogo" is set to "logo*.gif" which is found in the resource-field of the template.

  bgCol = red

  topimg.width = 200

  topimg.file.pic2 = fileadmin/logo2.gif

  file.toplogo = logo*.gif

 

This could also be defined like this:

  bgCol = red

  file {

    toplogo = logo*.gif

  }

  topimg {

    width = 200

    file.pic2 = fileadmin/logo2.gif

  }

 

(The objects in bold is the reserved word "file" and the properties are always of data type "resource"
