[TYPO3-dev] gridelements and fluid

Yes and no - since each value of both the record and the flexform will 
be made available via cObj->data. Flexform values are prefixed with 
flexform_. You will get even values of the parent element prefixed with 
parentgrid_ so you can render children differently depending on parent 
values. Additionally you will get vitual fields containing Arrrays with 
children, prerendered columns and the like. The names of these fields 
can be found in the TypoScript reference.

Currently there is no way to render sections, but there is a pending 
feature request in the tracker. IMHO using sections in Gridelements 
contradicts the goals we had, namely getting rid of XML in favor of 
normalized relations, which is why we didn't implement it by default.

My personal opinion is: Instead of implementing the whole featureset of 
TemplaVoila into Gridelements Flexforms again IMHO one could use the 
original, since it is still available and does all that XML based stuff 
quite good.

But since people are asking for it, this might be something we should 
discuss at the developer days during the Gridelements workshop.

> Official documentation also only show examples based on Typoscript.

Official documenation has a kind of "hidden" feature. Take a look at the 
default TypoScript code at the beginning of the TypoScript section. 
There's a commented part that tells you how to render the whole 
container based on FLUIDTEMPLATE.

Just put

cObject = FLUIDTEMPLATE

into your template and set the paths to your template accordingly.
Anything else will be done as usual with Fluid.
