In what context? – Pulitzer

Answer 1

You can get current PageId like this.

in Controller file.

$currentPid = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->id

Using Typoscript.

temp.page_uid = TEXT
temp.page_uid.field = uid

I tried this "$currentPid = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->id" and it didn't work ! I like to get the id of the current page in backoffice inside an extension that I have created and I don't have any controllers – Mender

The question specifically asked "in the backend". $GLOBALS['TSFE'] is instantiated in the frondend. – Pulitzer

Answer 2

Example: In your controller:

$id = (int)\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::_GP('id');

Just a hint: _GP('id') is only set when you have chosen a page in the page tree. Therefore, be aware of empty values - or zero when cast to integer as above. – Veracity

Answer 3

This depends on context, examples:

• If you are extending FormEngine (editing records), the parent page record is in the data array, prepared by some rather early data provider.
• If you are adding a feature to the 'info' module, the page id is a GET parameter, you should be able to access this in your controller.
