Hiya,
Is there a way to reference a field value in the page record from within
an FCE? I know I can reference parent record values for an fce with
register:tx_templavoila_pi1.parentRec.xxx but I can't seem to find a way
to get anything from the page.
Cheers,
Simon

You can get values of all global vars using TS. TSFE has a reference to page record (in "page" variable).

Or you can get a page uid from "pid" field of parent record and select page fields from db...

Yes, but I can't get a field value form inside the page flexform. I can
do this: TSFEage|title don't think this will work:
TSFEage|tx_templavoila_flex:field_column_1
So I need to insert a new field to the pages table and add the field to
'addRootLineFields'.
Cheers,
Simon

Of course not. It is not possible to get field from flexform through TS. TYPO3 does not support it.

I know. To be honest a more direct link between TV and TS would be
really helpful. I'm aware that it's not on the menu at the moment, but
it would be a great feature. One of the most frustrating things about TV
is the disconnect between the traditional TS approach and the
Information stored in the flexform fields. I've become fond of TV, as it
enables me to really customise the backend elements, but the flip-side
is that some stuff which is pretty simple in TS is virtually impossible
in a datastructure. For example, sliding a content element or grabbing a
value from a different content element or page etc.
So anyway, just my 2 cents...
Cheers,
Simon

Well, I would be happy to help and resolve it but this is not really a TV issue. TV does not process TS. And flexforms are not specific to TV because any extension can make flexform and use it.

If such support is ever built, it will be in TYPO3 core. I would search for corresponding feature request (and post if it does not exist) if I were you.

I understand your feelings. I struggled with the same problem once or twice too.
