dataProcessing

dataProcessing is a property of FLUIDTEMPLATE.

dataProcessing

| Data type: array of class references by full namespace |

Add one or multiple processors to manipulate the $data variable of the currently rendered content object, like tt_content or page. The sub- property options can be used to pass parameters to the processor class.

There are several DataProcessors available to allow flexible processing e.g. for comma-separated values. To use e.g. with the FLUIDTEMPLATE content object.

CommaSeparatedValueProcessor

The CommaSeparatedValueProcessor allows to split values into a two- dimensional array used for CSV files or tt_content records of CType "table".

Using the CommaSeparatedValueProcessor the following scenario is possible:

page {
   10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
   10 {
      file = EXT:site_default/Resources/Private/Template/Default.html
      dataProcessing.4 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\CommaSeparatedValueProcessor
      dataProcessing.4 {
         if.isTrue.field = bodytext
         fieldName = bodytext
         fieldDelimiter = |
         fieldEnclosure =
         maximumColumns = 2
         as = table
      }
   }
}

In the Fluid template then iterate over the processed data:

<table>
   <f:for each="{table}" as="columns">
      <tr>
         <f:for each="{columns}" as="column">
            <td>{column}</td>
         </f:for>
      <tr>
   </f:for>
</table>

DatabaseQueryProcessor

The DatabaseQueryProcessor works like the code from the Content Object CONTENT, except for just handing over the result as array. A FLUIDTEMPLATE can then simply iterate over processed data automatically.

Using the DatabaseQueryProcessor the following scenario is possible:

tt_content.mycontent.20 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
tt_content.mycontent.20 {
   file = EXT:site_default/Resources/Private/Templates/ContentObjects/MyContent.html

   dataProcessing.10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\DatabaseQueryProcessor
   dataProcessing.10 {
      # regular if syntax
      if.isTrue.field = records

      # the table name from which the data is fetched from
      # + stdWrap
      table = tt_address

      # All properties from .select :ref:`select` can be used directly
      # + stdWrap
      orderBy = sorting
      pidInList = 13,14

      # The target variable to be handed to the ContentObject again, can
      # be used in Fluid e.g. to iterate over the objects. defaults to
      # "records" when not defined
      # + stdWrap
      as = myrecords

      # The fetched records can also be processed by DataProcessors.
      # All configured processors are applied to every row of the result.
      dataProcessing {
         10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FilesProcessor
         10 {
            references.fieldName = image
         }
      }
   }
}

In the Fluid template then iterate over the files:

<ul>
<f:for each="{myrecords}" as="record">
   <li>
      <f:image image="{record.files.0}" />
      <a href="{record.data.www}">{record.data.first_name} {record.data.last_name}</a>
   </li>
</f:for>
</ul>

FilesProcessor

The FilesProcessor resolves file references, files, or files inside a folder or collection to be used for output in the frontend. A FLUIDTEMPLATE can then simply iterate over processed data automatically.

Using the FilesProcessor the following scenario is possible:

tt_content.image.20 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
tt_content.image.20 {
   file = EXT:site_default/Resources/Private/Templates/ContentObjects/Image.html

   dataProcessing.10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FilesProcessor
   dataProcessing.10 {
      # the field name where relations are set
      # + stdWrap
      references.fieldName = image

      # the table name where relations are put, defaults to the currently
      # selected record from $cObj->getTable()
      # + stdWrap
      references.table = tt_content

      # A list of sys_file UID records
      # + stdWrap
      files = 21,42

      # A list of File Collection UID records
      # + stdWrap
      collections = 13,14

      # A list of FAL Folder identifiers and files fetched recursive from
      # all folders
      # + stdWrap
      folders = 1:introduction/images/,1:introduction/posters/
      folders.recursive = 1

      # Property of which the files should be sorted after they have been
      # accumulated
      # can be any property of sys_file, sys_file_metadata
      # + stdWrap
      sorting = description

      # Can be "ascending", "descending" or "random", defaults to
      # "ascending" if none given
      # + stdWrap
      sorting.direction = descending

      # The target variable to be handed to the ContentObject again, can
      # be used in Fluid e.g. to iterate over the objects. defaults to
      # "files" when not defined
      # + stdWrap
      as = myfiles
   }
}

In the Fluid template then iterate over the files:

<ul>
   <f:for each="{myfiles}" as="file">
      <li><a href="{file.publicUrl}">{file.name}</a></li>
   </f:for>
</ul>

GalleryProcessor

The GalleryProcessor provides the logic for working with galleries and calculates the maximum asset size. It uses the files already present in the processedData array for his calculations. The FilesProcessor can be used to fetch the files.

Using the GalleryProcessor the following scenario is possible:

tt_content.textmedia.20 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
tt_content.textmedia.20 {
   file = EXT:site_default/Resources/Private/Templates/ContentObjects/Image.html

   dataProcessing {
      # Process files
      10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FilesProcessor

      # Calculate gallery info
      20 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\GalleryProcessor
      20 {
         # filesProcessedDataKey :: Key in processedData array that holds
         # the files (default: files) + stdWrap
         filesProcessedDataKey = files

         # mediaOrientation :: Media orientation, see:
         # TCA[tt_content][column][imageorient] (default: data.imageorient) + stdWrap
         mediaOrientation.field = imageorient

         # numberOfColumns :: Number of columns (default: data.imagecols) + stdWrap
         numberOfColumns.field = imagecols

         # equalMediaHeight :: Equal media height in pixels (default: data.imageheight) + stdWrap
         equalMediaHeight.field = imageheight

         # equalMediaWidth :: Equal media width in pixels (default: data.imagewidth) + stdWrap
         equalMediaWidth.field = imagewidth

         # maxGalleryWidth :: Max gallery width in pixels (default: 600) + stdWrap
         maxGalleryWidth = 1000

         # maxGalleryWidthInText :: Max gallery width in pixels when
         # orientation intext (default: 300) + stdWrap
         maxGalleryWidthInText = 1000

         # columnSpacing :: Column spacing width in pixels (default: 0) + stdWrap
         columnSpacing = 0

         # borderEnabled :: Border enabled (default: data.imageborder) + stdWrap
         borderEnabled.field = imageborder

         # borderWidth :: Border width in pixels (default: 0) + stdWrap
         borderWidth = 0

         # borderPadding :: Border padding in pixels  (default: 0) + stdWrap
         borderPadding = 10

         # as :: Name of key in processedData array where result is
         # placed (default: gallery) + stdWrap
         as = gallery
      }
   }
}

Content of the basic Fluid template of the gallery (rendering of the gallery will be done in partial MediaGallery):

<f:if condition="{gallery.position.noWrap} != 1">
   <f:render partial="Header" arguments="{_all}" />
</f:if>

<div class="ce-textpic ce-{gallery.position.horizontal}
     ce-{gallery.position.vertical}{f:if(condition: '{gallery.position.noWrap}',

LanguageMenuProcessor

The LanguageMenuProcessor utilizes HMENU to generate a JSON encoded menu string based on the site language configuration that will be decoded again and assigned to FLUIDTEMPLATE as variable.

Options:

if

TypoScript if condition

languages

A list of comma separated language IDs (e.g. 0,1,2) to use for the menu creation or auto to load from site languages

as

The variable to be used within the result

Using the LanguageMenuProcessor the following scenario is possible:

10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\LanguageMenuProcessor
10 {
   languages = auto
   as = languageNavigation
}

This generated menu can be used in Fluid like this:

<f:if condition="{languageNavigation}">
   <ul id="language" class="language-menu">
      <f:for each="{languageNavigation}" as="item">
         <li class="{f:if(condition: item.active, then: 'active')}
                    {f:if(condition: item.available, else: ' text-muted')}">
            <f:if condition="{item.available}">
               <f:then>
                  <a href="{item.link}" hreflang="{item.hreflang}"
                     title="{item.navigationTitle}">
                     <span>{item.navigationTitle}</span>
                  </a>
               </f:then>
               <f:else>
                  <span>{item.navigationTitle}</span>
               </f:else>
            </f:if>
         </li>
      </f:for>
   </ul>
</f:if>

MenuProcessor

The MenuProcessor utilizes HMENU to generate a JSON encoded menu string that will be decoded again and assigned to FLUIDTEMPLATE as variable. Additional data processing is supported and will be applied to each record.

Using the MenuProcessor the following scenario is possible:

10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\MenuProcessor
10 {
   special = directory
   special.value = <parent page uid>
   levels = 2
   as = headerMenu
   expandAll = 1
   includeSpacer = 1
   titleField = nav_title // title
}

This generated menu can be used in Fluid like that:

<nav>
   <ul class="header_navigation">
      <f:for each="{headerMenu}" as="menuItem">
         <li class="{f:if(condition:'{menuItem.active}',then:'active')}">
            <f:link.page pageUid="{menuItem.uid}">{menuItem.title}</f:link.page>
         </li>
      </f:for>
   </ul>
</nav>

SplitProcessor

The SplitProcessor allows to split values separated with a delimiter inside a single database field into an array to loop over it.

With the help of the SplitProcessor the following scenario is possible:

page {
   10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
   10 {
      file = EXT:site_default/Resources/Private/Template/Default.html

      dataProcessing.2 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\SplitProcessor
      dataProcessing.2 {
         if.isTrue.field = bodytext
         delimiter = ,
         fieldName = bodytext
         removeEmptyEntries = 1
         filterIntegers = 0
         filterUnique = 1
         as = keywords
      }
   }
   }

In the Fluid template then iterate over the splitted data:

<f:for each="{keywords}" as="keyword">
   <li>Keyword: {keyword}</li>
</f:for>

Custom dataProcessors

Last but not least, it is possible to create your own data processors and use them in FLUIDTEMPLATE:

my_custom_ctype = FLUIDTEMPLATE
my_custom_ctype {
   templateName = CustomName
   templateRootPaths {
      10 = EXT:site_default/Resources/Private/Templates
   }
   settings {
      extraParam = 1
   }
   dataProcessing {
      1 = Vendor\YourExtensionKey\DataProcessing\MyFirstCustomProcessor
      2 = Vendor2\AnotherExtensionKey\DataProcessing\MySecondCustomProcessor
      2 {
         options {
            myOption = SomeValue
         }
      }
   }
}
