Attention

TYPO3 v6 has reached its end-of-life April 18th, 2017 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is strongly recommended updating your project.

Examples

Function:

Method in class:

user_stringReversing->reverseString

Comment

Indicates a function or method in a class to call. See more information at the USER cObject.

Depending on implementation the class or function name (but not the method name) should probably be prefixed with "user_". The prefix can be changed in the $TYPO3_CONF_VARS config though. The function / method is normally called with 2 parameters, $conf (TS configuration) and $content (some content to be processed and returned).

Also if you call a method in a class, it is checked (when using the USER/USER_INT objects) whether a class with the same name, but prefixed with "ux_" is present and if so, this class is instantiated instead. See the document "Inside TYPO3" for more information on extending classes in TYPO3!
