Ordering in Typo3 Neos template

607 views Asked by At

I created a site template for a website in Typo3 Neos. However, in the template I need to define the ordering of the javascript because the CSS files have to be included before the javascript files. I now have these files:

Default.html:

{namespace neos=TYPO3\Neos\ViewHelpers}
{namespace ts=TYPO3\TypoScript\ViewHelpers}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <f:section name="meta">
          <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

        <meta name="description" content="">
        <meta name="author" content="">
    </f:section>

    <f:section name="stylesheets">
        <!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
        <link href="{f:uri.resource(path: 'css/bootstrap.css', package: 'MyApp')}" rel="stylesheet">
        <link href="{f:uri.resource(path: 'css/responsive.css', package: 'MyApp')}" rel="stylesheet">

        <!-- Plugins -->
        <link href="{f:uri.resource(path: 'plugins/flexslider/flexslider.css', package: 'MyApp')}" rel="stylesheet">

        <!-- Theme style -->
        <link href="{f:uri.resource(path: 'css/theme-style.css', package: 'MyApp')}" rel="stylesheet">
    </f:section>

    <f:section name="headScripts">
        <!-- Le HTML5 shim, for IE6-8 support of HTML5 elements -->
        <!--[if lt IE 9]>
        <script src="{f:uri.resource(path: 'js/html5.js', package: 'MyApp')}"></script>
        <![endif]-->

        <!--Retina.js plugin - @see: http://retinajs.com/-->
        <script src="{f:uri.resource(path: 'plugins/retina/retina.js', package: 'MyApp')}"></script> 
    </f:section>
</head>

And the Root.ts2:

page = Page {
head {

    meta = TYPO3.TypoScript:Template {
        templatePath = 'resource://MyApp/Private/Templates/Page/Default.html'
        sectionName = 'meta'
        title = ${q(node).property('title')}
    }

    stylesheets.site = TYPO3.TypoScript:Template {
        templatePath = 'resource://MyApp/Private/Templates/Page/Default.html'
        sectionName = 'stylesheets'
    }

    javascripts.site = TYPO3.TypoScript:Template {
        templatePath = 'resource://MyApp/Private/Templates/Page/Default.html'
        sectionName = 'headScripts'
    }
}

body {
    templatePath = 'resource://MyApp/Private/Templates/Page/Default.html'
    sectionName = 'body'
    parts {
        menu = Menu
        breadcrumb = Breadcrumb
    }
    // These are your content areas, you can define as many as you want, just name them and the nodePath.
    content {
        // The default content section
        main = PrimaryContent {
            nodePath = 'main'
        }
    }

    javascripts.site = TYPO3.TypoScript:Template {
        templatePath = 'resource://MyApp/Private/Templates/Page/Default.html'
        sectionName = 'bodyScripts'
    }
}
}

The result in the HTML is:

<!DOCTYPE html><html><!--

        <meta name="description" content="">
        <meta name="author" content="">
    

    </head><body>

However I want the meta information at the top, then the stylesheets and finally the javascript files to be included. Is it possible to define the ordering of the elements rendered? I would expect the ordering of the Default.html would be used, but it appears not to.

There is @position in typo script, which you can use to alter ordering.. To see in action, check TYPO3.Neos/Resources/Private/TypoScript/Prototypes/Page.ts2. In your case it should work:

meta.@position = 'start 5'
stylesheets.@position = 'start 10'
javascripts.@position = 'start 15'

or you can put it directly into definition:

meta = TYPO3.TypoScript:Template {
    @position = 'start 5'

You can also use sth like 'after headTag' or 'before stylesheets'.

Regarding TypoScript - TypoScript 2 Pocket Reference is worth checking :)
