How to get the value of TYPO3 backend_layout in your fluid content element?

Question

I need to get the value of the field backend_layout in my fluid content element.

Via <f:debug /> I get the value in my page template, but not at the level of the content element.

Answer 1

The easiest way is to use the vhs extension and the view helper v:page.info available there or pass the variable somehow (TypoScript, register, etc.) down to your content elements.

Answer 2

try to set the following in setup typoscript for "page":

page {

    # e.g. inside your page template "10"
    10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
    10 {
        # ...

        variables {

            # access this with {layout} in your fluid templates
            layout = TEXT
            layout {
                data = levelfield:-2,backend_layout_next_level,slide
                override {
                    field = backend_layout
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
