If you are using TemplaVoila, you might have noticed that the Menu/Sitemap type "Section index (pagecontent w/Index checked)", doesn't work correctly anymore. (Deleted elements show up on the menu and the sorting order is wrong.)

This is because TemplaVoila rendering doesn't rely on the sorting or the deleted fields, but instead stores a list of uids for the visible content elements in an extra pages field (tx_templavoila_flex).

With a little bit of TypoScript magic, we can solve that problem.

By storing the list of visible uids in a register value (recordsInTVField ), we can reuse the uidlist for making a TypoScript SQL lookup, returning only the visible CEs, and in the correct sorting order.

The register value could also be used in other scripts, where you need to know the list of CE uids.

The "Fix"

In your TemplaVoila Data Structure (DS), locate all the fields which are set to hold Content Elements (CE)

It usually looks like this:

10 = RECORDS
10.source.current=1
10.tables = tt_content
10.wrap = <!--TYPO3SEARCH_begin--> | <!--TYPO3SEARCH_end-->

Change it to the following:

5 = LOAD_REGISTER
5.recordsInTVField.data = current:1
10 = RECORDS
10.source.data=register:recordsInTVField
10.tables = tt_content
10.wrap = <!--TYPO3SEARCH_begin--> | <!--TYPO3SEARCH_end-->
15 = RESTORE_REGISTER

Then in your TypoScript SETUP field, enter this:

tt_content.menu.20.3 >
tt_content.menu.20.3 = CONTENT
tt_content.menu.20.3 {
  wrap = <ul class="csc-menu csc-menu-3">|</ul>
  table = tt_content
  select.pidInList = this
  select.andWhere.dataWrap = uid IN ({register:recordsInTVField}) AND sectionIndex!=0
  renderObj = TEXT
  renderObj {
    fieldRequired = header
    trim=1
    field = header
    htmlSpecialChars = 1
    wrap = <li class="csc-section">|</li>
    typolink.parameter.field = pid
    typolink.section.field = uid
  }
}

NOTE: You should do this for every column in your Page DS, or you might end up with uid values

from the other columns.

Great snippet! But I could no get the CONTENT object to return the content elements in the correct order. I think because MySQL always use the PRIMARY index and returns them in order.

I changed it to RECORDS and it works (found here http://bugs.typo3.org/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=465):

tt_content.menu.20.3 >
tt_content.menu.20 {
3 = RECORDS
3.wrap = <ul class="csc-menu csc-menu-3">|</ul>
3.source.data = register:recordsInTVField
3.tables = tt_content
3.conf.tt_content = TEXT
3.conf.tt_content {
if.isTrue.field = sectionIndex
noBlur = 1 #XXX added
fieldRequired = header
trim=1
field = header
htmlSpecialChars = 1
wrap = <li class="csc-section">|</li>
typolink.parameter.field = pid
typolink.section.field = uid
}&#8203;
