Typo3: How can i set common data in header and footer like logo?

Question

I want to set a dynamic logo for mobile and desktop versions in header footer. I want to set an email, phone number and address in the footer. how can I set all data in one place? Should I store every page of all data?

Constant is basically for a general setting, you can create in your base template. However, sitepackagebuilder provides minimal setting.

It's pretty easy! You can create your own constant with simple code below:

1. Create constant, Add constant in your constant.ts (Generally file path is ext/yourExt/Configuration/TypoScript)

   plugin.tx_yourplugin {
      settings {
          # cat=plugin.tx_yourplugin/file; type=string; label=Website Logo
          siteLogo =
      }
   }
   

Now, you will find constant in your TYPO3 backend template->constant Editor module, within your extension constants.

2. Assign a value to setup.ts: Add below code in your setup.ts which is located in the same directory.

   plugin.tx_yourplugin {
       settings {
          siteLogo = {$plugin.tx_yourplugin.settings.siteLogo}
       }
   }
   

Now, your dynamic value from constant can be accessible to your fluid template or your extbase controller. You will find your constant in the settings user below debug.

<f:debug>{_all}</f:debug>

Here is some useful link:

• https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-typoscript/master/en-us/UsingSetting/Constants.html
• https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-typoscript/master/en-us/UsingSetting/TheConstantEditor.html#type

As far as I know, a multiline constant and type file is not yet supported.

I hope this helps!
