TYPO3 - typoscript backlink

0
votes

I am currently looking all over the web for a solution to create a link back to the referring page.

atm I am just using JS e.g.

<a href="javascript:history.back()">« back</a>

I would like to add the information to which page the link leads back using the page title of the referring page e.g.

<a href="javascript:history.back()">« back to: <referring-page-title></a>

is there any way to create such a backlink with typoscript or fluid?

thx for helping me out, rgds stooky

You could also check the referrer in TYPO3 but that would lead to the problem that the full cache can't be cached anymore. I woudln't recommend that.

What about misusing e.g. the local storage, write all page information you need into some JS variables, save it into the local storage whenever a link is triggered and use it from there?

If you are in the page tree you can use something like this:

lib.backlink = HMENU
lib.backlink {
    entryLevel = 2
    special = browse
    special.items = up
    wrap = <nav id="backlink">|</nav>

    1 = TMENU
    1.NO.stdWrap.dataWrap = <span>back to:&nbsp;| </span>
}

otherwise

renderObj.10 = TEXT
renderObj.10.value = <a href="javascript:history.back()">Go back</a>
