[TYPO3-core] Source for TypoScript if no real "pid" is selected

[Stefan Neufeind]

Hi,

I've discussed this with some folks in the last days and also looked
into how others handle this case. To me it appears like there currently
is no "clean" solution. Either I just didn't find it yet or maybe we
need to find some general solution for that.


The question is how to set certain values for a plugin/module via
TypoScript if we are not inside a FE-context, so there is no pid where
you can place a template on. This is for example the case when you run
tasks through CLI (and maybe also BE-context I expect). In BE you could
set values via UserTS - but that also does not work when you use a
scheduler-entry (CommandController).


Other have added TypoScript-settings then via a small extension and
applied settings in ext_localconf. But I wonder if we can maybe find an
easier to manage (and adjust etc.) solution similar to the regular
"templates".

What about to allow creating templates on the root (pid=0) for those
cases where no particular pid is/can be selected?


Kind regards,
 Stefan
