This cObject is used to retrieve single records. CONTENT was designed to get a list of records - normally from the table tt_content. But it could be any table:
A quick example:
page.10 = RECORDS
page.10.source = 1
page.10.tables = tt_content
page.10.conf.tt_content = TEXT
page.10.conf.tt_content {field = header
case = upper
wrap = <B> | </B>
}
results in:
... because the record from table "tt_content" with uid "1" was :
Another example:
In the tt_address database there are a few records with Simpsons characters. They are at the page "Another site in.../Lists/Addresses/"
temp.tt_address = COA
temp.tt_address.wrap = | <HR>
temp.tt_address.10 = TEXT
temp.tt_address.10 {field = name
case = upper
wrap = <B> | </B><BR>
}
temp.tt_address.20 = IMAGE
temp.tt_address.20 {file.import.field = image
file.import = uploads/pics/
file.import.listNum = 0
file.height = 100
}
page.10 = RECORDS
page.10.source = 3,1,5
page.10.tables = tt_address
page.10.conf.tt_address < temp.tt_address
Results in:
Notice how "tt_content" in the first TypoScript is now "tt_address" because we're working on a different table.
An alternative implementation does exactly the same is this:
tt_address = COA
tt_address.wrap = | <HR>
tt_address.10 = TEXT
tt_address.10 {field = name
case = upper
wrap = <B> | </B><BR>
}
tt_address.20 = IMAGE
tt_address.20 {file.import.field = image
file.import = uploads/pics/
file.import.listNum = 0
file.height = 100
}
page.10 = RECORDS
page.10.source = 3,1,5
page.10.tables = tt_address
Notice how the line "page.10.conf.tt_address < temp.tt_address" was removed. That line copied the object "temp.tt_address" and used that for rendering of the record. But the default option is to use the toplevel object named like the table. Thus "tt_address" on the toplevel would render the record if this line is left out and that's exactly what the example shows ("temp.tt_address" was changed to "tt_address").
