QFQ Report Keywords
See :ref:`qfq_keywords`.
QFQ content element
The QFQ extension is activated through tt-content records. One or more tt-content records per page are necessary to render forms and reports. Specify column and language per content record as wished.
The title of the QFQ content element will not be rendered. It's only visible in the backend for orientation of the webmaster.
To display a report on any given TYPO3 page, create a content element of type 'QFQ Element' (plugin) on that page.
A simple example
Assume that the database has a table person with columns firstName and lastName. To create a simple list of all persons, we can do the following:
10.sql = SELECT firstName, lastName FROM Person
The '10' indicates a root level of the report (see section :ref:`Structure<Structure>`). The expression '10.sql' defines an SQL query for the specific level. When the query is executed, it will return a result having one single column name containing first and last name separated by a space character.
The HTML output, displayed on the page, resulting from only this definition, could look as follows:
JohnDoeJaneMillerFrankStar
I.e., QFQ will simply output the content of the SQL result row after row for each single level.
Format output: mix style and content
Variant 1: pure SQL
To format the upper example, just create additional columns:
10.sql = SELECT firstName, ", ", lastName, "<br>" FROM Person
HTML output:
Doe, John<br>
Miller, Jane<br>
Star, Frank<br>
Variant 2: SQL plus QFQ helper
QFQ provides several helper functions to wrap rows and columns, or to separate them. E.g. fsep
stands for field
separate and rend
for row end:
10.sql = SELECT firstName, lastName FROM Person
10.fsep = ', '
10.rend = <br>
HTML output:
Doe, John<br>
Miller, Jane<br>
Star, Frank<br>
Check out all QFQ helpers under :ref:`qfq_keywords`.
Due to mixing style and content, this becomes harder to maintain with more complex layout.
Format output: separate style and content
The result of the query can be passed to the Twig template engine in order to fill a template with the data.:
10.sql = SELECT firstName, lastName FROM Person
10.twig = {% for row in result %}
{{ row.lastName }}, {{ row.firstName }<br />
{% endfor %}
HTML output:
Doe, John<br>
Miller, Jane<br>
Star, Frank<br>
Check out :ref:`using-twig`.
Syntax of report
All root level queries will be fired in the order specified by 'level' (Integer value).
For each row of a query (this means all queries), all subqueries will be fired once.
- E.g. if the outer query selects 5 rows, and a nested query select 3 rows, than the total number of rows are 5 x 3 = 15 rows.
There is a set of variables that will get replaced before ('count' also after) the SQL-Query gets executed:
{{<name>[:<store/s>[:...]]}}
- Variables from specific stores.
{{<name>:R}}
- use case of the above generic definition. See also :ref:`access-column-values`.
{{<level>.<columnName>}}
- Similar to
{{<name>:R}}
but more specific. There is no sanitize class, escape mode or default value.
See :ref:`qfq_keywords` for a full list.
See :ref:`variables` for a full list of all available variables.
Different types of SQL queries are possible: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SHOW, REPLACE
Only SELECT and SHOW queries will fire subqueries.
Processing of the resulting rows and columns:
In general, all columns of all rows will be printed out sequentially.
On a per column base, printing of columns can be suppressed by starting the column name with an underscore '_'. E.g.
SELECT id AS _id
.This might be useful to store values, which will be used later on in another query via the
{{id:R}}
or{{<level>.columnName}}
variable. To suppress printing of a column, use a underscore as column name prefix. E.g.SELECT id AS _id
Reserved column names have a special meaning and will be processed in a special way. See :ref:`Processing of columns in the SQL result<Processing of columns in the SQL result>` for details.
There are extensive ways to wrap columns and rows. See :ref:`wrapping-rows-and-columns`
Using Twig
How to write Twig templates is documented by the Twig Project.
QFQ passes the result of a given query to the corresponding Twig template using the Twig variable result. So templates need to use this variable to access the result of a query.
Specifying a Template
By default the string passed to the twig-key is used as template directly, as shown in the simple example above:
10.twig = {% for row in result %}
{{ row.lastName }}, {{ row.firstName }<br />
{% endfor %}
However, if the string starts with file:, the template is read from the file specified.:
10.twig = file:table_sortable.html.twig
The file is searched relative to <site path> and if the file is not found there, it's searched relative to QFQ's twig_template folder where the included base templates are stored.
The following templates are available:
tables/default.html.twig
- A basic table with column headers, sorting and column filters using tablesorter and bootstrap.
tables/single_vertical.html.twig
- A template to display the values of a single record in a vertical table.
Links
The link syntax described in :ref:`column-link` is available inside Twig templates using the qfqlink filter:
{{ "u:http://www.example.com" | qfqlink }}
will render a link to http://www.example.com.
JSON Decode
A String can be JSON decoded in Twig the following way:
{% set decoded = '["this is one", "this is two"]' | json_decode%}
This can then be used as a normal object in Twig:
{{ decoded[0] }}
will render this is one.
Available Store Variables
QFQ also provides access to the following stores via the template context.
- record
- sip
- typo3
- user
- system
- var
All stores are accessed using their lower case name as attribute of the context variable store. The active Typo3 front-end user is therefore available as:
{{ store.typo3.feUser }}
Example
The following block shows an example of a QFQ report.
10.sql selects all users who have been assigned files in our file tracker.
10.10 then selects all files belonging to this user, prints the username as header and then displays the files in a nice table with links to the files.
10.sql = SELECT assigned_to AS _user FROM FileTracker
WHERE assigned_to IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY _user
ORDER BY _user
10.10.sql = SELECT id, path_scan FROM FileTracker
WHERE assigned_to = '{{user:R}}'
10.10.twig = <h2>{{ store.record.user }}</h2>
<table class="table table-hover tablesorter" id="{{pageSlug:T}}-twig">
<thead><tr><th>ID</th><th>File</th></tr></thead>
<tbody>
{% for row in result %}
<tr>
<td>{{ row.id }}</td>
<td>{{ ("d:|M:pdf|s|t:"~ row.path_scan ~"|F:" ~ row.path_scan ) | qfqlink }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
</table>
Reserved names
The following names have a special meaning in QFQ/Typo3. It is recommended to use such names only in the meaning of QFQ/Typo3 and not to use them as free defineable user variables.
id
,type
,L
,form
,r
Debug the bodytext
The parsed bodytext could be displayed by activating 'showDebugInfo' (:ref:`debug`) and specifying:
debugShowBodyText = 1
A small symbol with a tooltip will be shown, where the content record will be displayed on the webpage. Note: :ref:`debug` information will only be shown with showDebugInfo: yes in :ref:`configuration`.
Inline Report editing
For quick changes it can be bothersome to go to the TYPO3 backend to update the page content and reload the page. For this reason, QFQ offers an inline report editing feature whenever there is a TYPO3 BE user logged in. A small link symbol will appear on the right-hand side of each report record. Please note that the TYPO3 Frontend cache is also deleted upon each inline report save.
In order for the inline report editing to work, QFQ needs to be able to access the T3 database. This database is assumed to be accessible with the same credentials as specified with indexQfq.
Structure
A report can be divided into several levels. This can make report definitions more readable because it allows for splitting of otherwise excessively long SQL queries. For example, if your SQL query on the root level selects a number of person records from your person table, you can use the SQL query on the second level to look up the city where each person lives.
See the example below:
10.sql = SELECT id AS _pId, CONCAT(firstName, " ", lastName, " ") AS name FROM Person
10.rsep = <br>
10.10.sql = SELECT CONCAT(postal_code, " ", city) FROM Address WHERE pId = {{10.pId}}
10.10.rbeg = (
10.10.rend = )
This would result in:
John Doe (3004 Bern)
Jane Miller (8008 Zürich)
Frank Star (3012 Bern)
Text across several lines
To get better human readable SQL queries, it's possible to split a line across several lines. Lines with keywords are on their own (:ref:`QFQ Keywords (Bodytext)<qfq_keywords>` start a new line). If a line is not a 'keyword' line, it will be appended to the last keyword line. 'Keyword' lines are detected on:
- <level>.<keyword> =
- {
- <level>[.<sub level] {
Example:
10.sql = SELECT 'hello world'
FROM Mastertable
10.tail = End
20.sql = SELECT 'a warm welcome'
'some additional', 'columns'
FROM AnotherTable
WHERE id>100
20.head = <h3>
20.tail = </h3>
Join mode: SQL
This is the default. All lines are joined with a space in between. E.g.:
10.sql = SELECT 'hello world'
FROM Mastertable
Results to: 10.sql = SELECT 'hello world' FROM Mastertable
Notice the space between "...world'" and "FROM ...".
Join mode: strip whitespace
Ending a line with a \ strips all leading and trailing whitespaces of that line joins the line directly (no extra space in between). E.g.:
10.sql = SELECT 'hello world', 'd:final.pdf \
|p:/export \
|t:Download' AS _pdf \
Results to: 10.sql = SELECT 'hello world', 'd:final.pdf|p:/export|t:Download' AS _pdf
Note: the \ does not force the joining, it only removes the whitespaces.
To get the same result, the following is also possible:
10.sql = SELECT 'hello world', CONCAT('d:final.pdf'
'|p:/export',
'|t:Download') AS _pdf
Nesting of levels
Levels can be nested. E.g.:
10 {
sql = SELECT ...
5 {
sql = SELECT ...
head = ...
}
}
This is equal to:
10.sql = SELECT ...
10.5.sql = SELECT ...
10.5.head = ...
Leading / trailing spaces
By default, leading or trailing whitespaces are removed from strings behind '='. E.g. 'rend = test ' becomes 'test' for rend. To prevent any leading or trailing spaces, surround them by using single or double ticks. Example:
10.sql = SELECT name FROM Person
10.rsep = ' '
10.head = "Names: "
Braces character for nesting
By default, curly braces '{}' are used for nesting. Alternatively angle braces '<>', round braces '()' or square braces '[]' are also possible. To define the braces to use, the first line of the bodytext has to be a comment line and the last character of that line must be one of '{[(<'. The corresponding braces are used for that QFQ record. E.g.:
# Specific code. >
10 <
sql = SELECT
head = <script>
data = [
{
10, 20
}
]
</script>
>
Per QFQ tt-content record, only one type of nesting braces can be used.
Be careful to:
-
write nothing else than whitespaces/newline behind an open brace
-
the closing brace has to be alone on a line:
10.sql = SELECT 'Yearly Report' 20 { sql = SELECT companyName FROM Company LIMIT 1 head = <h1> tail = </h1> } 30 { sql = SELECT depName FROM Department head = <p> tail = </p> 5 { sql = SELECT 'detailed information for department' 1.sql = SELECT name FROM Person LIMIT 7 1.head = Employees: } } 30.5.tail = More will follow 50 { sql = SELECT 'A query with braces on their own' }
Access column values
Columns of the upper / outer level result can be accessed via variables in two ways
- STORE_RECORD:
{{pId:R}}
- Level Key:
{{10.pId}}
The STORE_RECORD will always be merged with previous content. The Level Keys are unique.
Important
Multiple columns, with the same column name, can't be accessed individually. Only the last column is available.
Important
Retrieving the final value of :ref:`special-column-names` is possible via '{{&<column>:R}} (there is an '&' direct behind '{{')
Example:
10.sql = SELECT 'p:/home?form=Person|s|b:success|t:Edit' AS _link
10.20.sql = SELECT '{{link:R}}', '{{&link:R}}'
The first column of row 10.20 returns p:/home?form=Person|s|b:success|t:Edit,the second column returns '<span class="btn btn-success"><a href="?home&s=badcaffee1234">Edit</a></span>'.
Example STORE_RECORD:
10.sql= SELECT p.id AS _pId, p.name FROM Person AS p
10.5.sql = SELECT adr.city, 'dummy' AS _pId FROM Address AS adr WHERE adr.pId={{pId:R}}
10.5.20.sql = SELECT '{{pId:R}}'
10.10.sql = SELECT '{{pId:R}}'
The line '10.10' will output 'dummy' in cases where there is at least one corresponding address. If there are no addresses (all persons) it reports the person id. If there is at least one address, it reports 'dummy', cause that's the last stored content.
Example 'level':
10.sql= SELECT p.id AS _pId, p.name FROM Person AS p
10.5.sql = SELECT adr.city, 'dummy' AS _pId FROM Address AS adr WHERE adr.pId={{10.pId}}
10.5.20.sql = SELECT '{{10.pId}}'
10.10.sql = SELECT '{{10.pId}}'
Notes to the level:
Levels | A report is divided into levels. The Example has levels 10, 20, 30, 30.5, 30.5.1, 50 |
Qualifier | A level is divided into qualifiers 30.5.1 has 3 qualifiers 30, 5, 1 |
Root levels | Is a level with one qualifier. E.g.: 10 |
Sub levels | Is a level with more than one qualifier. E.g. levels 30.5 or 30.5.1 |
Child | The level 30 has one child and child child: 30.5 and 30.5.1 |
Example | 10, 20, 30, 50* are root level and will be completely processed one after each other. 30.5 will be executed as many times as 30 has row numbers. 30.5.1 will be executed as many times as 30.5 has row numbers. |
Report Example 1:
# Displays current date
10.sql = SELECT CURDATE()
# Show all students from the person table
20.sql = SELECT p.id AS pId, p.firstName, " - ", p.lastName FROM Person AS p WHERE p.typ LIKE "student"
# Show all the marks from the current student ordered chronological
20.25.sql = SELECT e.mark FROM Exam AS e WHERE e.pId={{20.pId}} ORDER BY e.date
# This query will never be fired, cause there is no direct parent called 20.30.
20.30.10.sql = SELECT 'never fired'
Wrapping rows and columns: Level
Order and nesting of queries, will be defined with a TypoScript-alike syntax:
level.sublevel1.subsublevel2. ...
- Each 'level' directive needs a final key, e.g: 20.30.10. sql.
- A key sql is necessary in order to process a level.
See all :ref:`QFQ Keywords (Bodytext)<qfq_keywords>`.
Processing of columns in the SQL result
- The content of all columns of all rows will be printed sequentially, without separator (except one is defined).
- Rows with :ref:`special-column-names` will be rendered internally by QFQ and the QFQ output of such processing (if there is any) is taken as the content.
Special column names
Note
Twig: respect that the 'special column name'-columns are rendered before Twig becomes active. The recommended way by using Twig is not to use special column names at all. Use the Twig version qfqLink.
QFQ don't care about the content of any SQL-Query - it just copy the content to the output (=Browser).
One exception are columns, whose name starts with '_'. E.g.:
10.sql = SELECT 'All', 'cats' AS red, 'are' AS _green, 'grey in the night' AS _link
-
The first and second column are regular columns. No QFQ processing.
-
The third column (alias name 'green') is no QFQ special column name, but has an '_' at the beginning: this column content will be hidden.
-
The fourth column (alias name 'link') uses a QFQ special column name. Here, only in this example, it has no further meaning.
-
All columns in a row, with the same special column name (e.g.
... AS _page
) will have the same column name: 'page'. To access individual columns a uniq column title is necessary and can be added...|column1
:10.sql = SELECT '..1..' AS '_page|column1', '..2..' AS '_page|column2'
Those columns can be accessed via
{{column1:R}}
,{{column2:R}}
(recommended) or{{10.column1}}
,{{10.column2}}
. -
To skip wrapping via
fbeg
,fsep
,fend
for dedicated columns, add the keyword|_noWrap
to the column alias. Example:10.sql = SELECT 'world' AS 'title|_noWrap'
Summary:
Note
- For 'special column names': the column name together with the value controls how QFQ processes the column.
- Special column names always start with '_'.
- Important: to reference a column, the name has to be given without '_'. E.g.
SELECT 'cat' AS _pet
will be used with{{pet:R}}
(notice the missing '_'). - Columns starting with a '_' but not defined as as QFQ special column name are hidden(!) - in other words: they are not printed as output.
- Tip: if a column name starts with '_' the column name becomes '_....' - which will be hidden! To be safe: always define an alias!
- Access to 'hidden' columns via
{{<level>.<column>}}
or{{<column>:R}}
are possible and often used.
Reserved column name | Purpose |
---|---|
_link | :ref:`column-link` - Build links with different features. |
_pageX or _PageX | :ref:`column_pageX` - Shortcut version of the link interface for fast creation of internal links. The column name is composed of the string page/Page and a optional character to specify the type of the link. |
_download | :ref:`download` - single file (any type) or concatenate multiple files (PDF, ZIP) |
_pdf, _file, _zip _Pdf, _File, _Zip | :ref:`column_pdf` - Shortcut version of the link interface for fast creation of :ref:`download` links. Used to offer single file download or to concatenate several PDFs and printout of websites to one PDF file. |
_savePdf | :ref:`column-save-pdf` - pre render PDF files |
_excel | :ref:`excel-export` - creates Excel exports based on QFQ Report queries, optional with pre uploaded Excel template files |
_yank | :ref:`copyToClipboard`. Shortcut version of the link interface |
_mailto | :ref:`column_mailto` - Build email links. A click on the link will open the default mailer. The address is encrypted via JS against email bots. |
_sendmail | :ref:`column_sendmail` - Send emails. |
_exec | :ref:`column_exec` - Run batch files or executables on the webserver. |
_script | :ref:`column_script` - Run php function defined in an external script. |

_striptags | HTML Tags will be stripped. |
_htmlentities | Characters will be encoded to their HTML entity representation. |
_fileSize | Show file size of a given file |
_mimeType | Show mime type of a given file |
_thumbnail | :ref:`thumbnail<thumbnail>` - Create thumbnails on the fly. See :ref:`column-thumbnail`. |
_monitor | :ref:`column-monitor` - Constantly display a file. See :ref:`column-monitor`. |
_XLS | Used for Excel export. Append a newline character at the end of the string. Token must be part of string. See :ref:`excel-export`. |
_XLSs | Used for Excel export. Prepend the token 's=' and append a newline character at the string. See :ref:`excel-export`. |
_XLSb | Used for Excel export. Like '_XLSs' but encode the string base64. See :ref:`excel-export`. |
_XLSn | Used for Excel export. Prepend 'n=' and append a newline character around the string. See :ref:`excel-export`. |
_noWrap | Skip wrapping via fbeg , fsep , fend . |
_hide | Hide a column with a special column name (like ... AS _link ). Note: regular columns should be hidden by using '_' as the first letter of the column name. |
_+<html-tag attributes> | The content will be wrapped with '<html-tag attributes>'. Example: SELECT 'example' AS '_+a href="http://example.com"' creates '<a href="http://example.com">example</a>'
|
_=<varname> | The content will be saved in store 'user' under 'varname'. Retrieve it later via {{varname:U}} . Example: 'SELECT "Hello world" AS _=text' .
See :ref:`STORE_USER`, :ref:`store_user_examples` |
_<nonReservedName> | Suppress output. Column names with leading underscore are used to select data from the database and make it available in other parts of the report without generating any output. |
_formJson | System internal. Return form with given id as JSON string. (SELECT 'fid:<formId>[|reduce][|b64]' AS _formJson). Flag reduce filters out 'modified', 'created' as well as keys which hold default values. Flag b64 encodes the JSON string in base 64. |
_encrypt | :ref:`column-encrypt` - Encrypt value. |
_decrypt | :ref:`column-decrypt` - Decrypt value. |
Column: _link
- Most URLs will be rendered via class link.
- Column names like
_pagee`, ``_mailto
, ... are wrapper to class link. - The parameters for link contains a prefix to make them position-independent.
- Parameter have to be separated with '|'. If '|' is part of the value, it needs to be escaped '\|'. This can be done
via QFQ SQL function
QBAR()

Render mode
The following table might be hard to read - but it's really useful to understand. It solves a lot of different situations. If there are no special condition (like missing value, or suppressed links), render mode 0 is sufficient. But if the URL text is missing, or the URL is missing, OR the link should be rendered in sql row 1-10, but not 5, then render mode might dynamically control the rendered link.
- Column Mode is the render mode and controls how the link is rendered.
Mode | Given: url & text | Given: only url | Given: only text | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 (default) | <a href=url>text</a> | <a href=url>url</a> | text or image will be shown, only if there is a url, page or mailto | |
1 | <a href=url>text</a> | <a href=url>url</a> | text | text or image will be shown, independently of whether there is a url or not |
2 | <a href=url>text</a> | no link if text is empty | ||
3 | text | url | text |
|
4 | url | url | text | no link, show text, if text is empty, show url, incl. optional tooltip |
5 | nothing at all | |||
6 | pure text | pure text | no link, pure text | |
7 | pure url | pure url | no link, pure url | |
8 | pure sip | pure sip | no link, no html, only the 13 digit sip code. |
Example:
10.sql = SELECT CONCAT('u:', p.homepage, IF(p.showHomepage='yes', '|r:0', '|r:5') ) AS _link FROM Person AS p
