How can I display the version of my sitepackage in the frontend?

I want to display the version of my sitepackage (from my declaration file ext_emconf.php ) in the frontend.

How do I query this information? I was thinking of using a DataProcessor in my FLUIDTEMPLATE, but I’m not sure whether I need to write my own or if there’s already one I can use for that.

Thank you!

Solution

  • Depending on your exact needs you could make use of ExtensionManagementUtility::getExtensionVersion() to inject a global TypoScript constant via ExtensionManagementUtility::addTypoScriptConstants():

    // ext_localconf.php
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addTypoScriptConstants(sprintf(
    'site.version = %s',
    \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getExtensionVersion('sitepackage')
));

    Afterwards you can use this constant anywhere in TypoScript setup including variables of Fluid templates:

    // TypoScript setup
10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
10 {
  // ...
  variables {
    siteVersion = {$site.version}
  }
}

    Now use this variable anywhere you like in your template:

    <!-- Fluid template -->
<p>Site {siteVersion}</p>
