Your own variables¶

Youcan declare own variables in TypoScript for your own template. This variables are here valid: page, questions, answers and the highscore/poll result list. This is important for even/odd interpretations. You can use “plugin.tx_myquizpoll_pi1.myVars.page.” in TEMPLATE_QUESTION_PAGE and TEMPLATE_RESULT_PAGE, “plugin.tx_myquizpoll_pi1.myVars.questions.” for questions, “plugin.tx_myquizpoll_pi1.myVars.answers.” for answers and “plugin.tx_myquizpoll_pi1.myVars.list.” for the highscore and the poll result list.

This variables can be used in your template at this way: ###MY_YOURVARIABLE###. Replace YOURVARIABLE with the name of your variable. Recommendation: take a look at the “template_analysis.html”.

:underline:`Note` : MY_SELECT (select-box), MY_OPTION (select- option), MY_INPUT_TEXT (text-answer), MY_INPUT_AREA (text-area), MY_INPUT_RADIO (radio-button), MY_INPUT_CHECKBOX (checkbox), MY_INPUT_WRAP (wrap the text of input-fields), MY_INPUT_ID and MY_INPUT_LABEL are reserved for questions and/or answers and can be set via TypoScript.Radio-buttons and check-boxes have no class- attribute. This is the only way to give them a class-attribute!Yes-no- boxes are automatically wrapped by the the classes tx_myquizpoll_pi1-yesno, -yes and -no.

Example 1:

TypoScript: myVars.questions.eo_align = tx_myquizpoll_pi1-right,tx_myquizpoll_pi1-left

HTML-Template, area ###TEMPLATE_QUESTION###: <div class="###MY_EO_ALIGN###">

This means: ###MY_EO_ALIGN### will be replaced by “tx_myquizpoll_pi1-right” for odd questions (question 1,3,5,...) and “tx_myquizpoll_pi1-left” for even questions (question 2,4,6,...).

Example 2:

TypoScript: myVars.answers.align = left,center,right,center,left

HTML-Template, area ###TEMPLATE_QRESULT###: <p align="###MY_ALIGN###">

This means: ###MY_ALIGN### will be replaced by “left” for the 1st and 5th answer of a question, “center” for the 2nd and 4 ^th answer and “right” for the 3th answer of every question.

Example 3:

TypoScript: myVars.list.even_odd = -odd,-even

Template ###TEMPLATE_HIGHSCORE_ENTRY###: <tr class="###PREFIX###-tr###MY_EVEN_ODD###">

This means: ###MY_EVEN_ODD### will be replaced by “-odd” for odd rows and “-even” for even rows.

Example 4:

TypoScript:myVars.answers.input_radio = onclick="changeBG();" style="float: right;"

The style- and onclick-Attribute will be added to every radio-button of a question.

Example 5:

TypoScript:myVars.answers.input_wrap = <label for=”answer1”>|</label>,<label for=”answer2”>|</label>

You can wrap the text of radio-buttons and check-boxes.

Example 6:

TypoScript:myVars.answers.input_id = 1andmyVars.answers.input_label = 1

Automatically wraps the radio-buttons and check-boxes with a label- field and sets an ID for every input-field.With “input_label = 2” the label will wrap the input-field and the text!

Example 7:

TypoScript:myVars.answers.select= class=”select- box”ormyVars.answers.input_area = cols=”33” rows=”5”

All select-boxes of the quiz will get the class “select-box”; size for textareas.

Example 8:

TypoScript:myVars.page.name= Test-quiz

You can use this variable in the page-template as ###MY_NAME###.
