Integrations with TypoScript¶
This page gives you same examples which you can use for integrating EXT:news into a website.
Add news by TypoScript¶
If EXT:news should be integrated by using TypoScript only, you can use this code snippet:
lib.news = USER
lib.news {
userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
extensionName = News
pluginName = Pi1
vendorName = GeorgRinger
switchableControllerActions {
News {
1 = list
}
}
settings < plugin.tx_news.settings
settings {
//categories = 49
limit = 30
detailPid = 31
overrideFlexformSettingsIfEmpty := addToList(detailPid)
startingpoint = 13
}
}
Now you can use the object lib.news.
List and detail on the same page using TypoScript¶
This is the example of how to display list and detail view on the same page.
# Basic plugin settings
lib.news = USER
lib.news {
userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
pluginName = Pi1
vendorName = GeorgRinger
extensionName = News
controller = News
settings =< plugin.tx_news.settings
persistence =< plugin.tx_news.persistence
view =< plugin.tx_news.view
}
Configure list and detail actions:
lib.news_list < lib.news
lib.news_list {
action = list
switchableControllerActions.News.1 = list
}
lib.news_detail < lib.news
lib.news_detail {
action = detail
switchableControllerActions.News.1 = detail
}
Insert configured objects to wherever you want to use them, depending on the GET parameter of detail view:
[globalVar = GP:tx_news_pi1|news > 0]
page.10.marks.content < lib.news_detail
[else]
page.10.marks.content < lib.news_list
[end]
Add HTML to the header part in the detail view.¶
There might be a use case where you need to add specific code to the header part when the detail view is rendered. There are some possible ways to go.
Plain TypoScript¶
You could use a code like the following one to render e.g. the title of a news article inside a title-tag.
[globalVar = TSFE:id = NEWS-DETAIL-PAGE-ID]
config.noPageTitle = 2
temp.newsTitle = RECORDS
temp.newsTitle {
dontCheckPid = 1
tables = tx_news_domain_model_news
source.data = GP:tx_news_pi1|news
source.intval = 1
conf.tx_news_domain_model_news = TEXT
conf.tx_news_domain_model_news {
field = title
htmlSpecialChars = 1
}
wrap = <title>|</title>
}
page.headerData.1 >
page.headerData.1 < temp.newsTitle
[global]
If you want to show the categories of a news record, you can use the following code:
lib.categoryTitle = CONTENT
lib.categoryTitle {
if.isTrue.data = GP:tx_news_pi1|news
table = tx_news_domain_model_news
select {
uidInList.data = GP:tx_news_pi1|news
pidInList = 123
join = sys_category_record_mm ON tx_news_domain_model_news.uid = sys_category_record_mm.uid_foreign JOIN sys_category ON sys_category.uid = sys_category_record_mm.uid_local
orderBy = sys_category.sorting
max = 1
}
renderObj = TEXT
renderObj {
field = title
htmlSpecialChars = 1
}
}
Usage of a ViewHelper¶
Use a viewHelper of EXT:news to write any code into the header part. The code could look like this
<n:headerData><script>var newsId = {newsItem.uid};</n:headerData>
If you want to set the title tag, you can use a specific viewHelper:
<n:titleTag>{newsItem.title}</n:titleTag>
Fallback in Detail view if no news found¶
If the detail view is called without a news uid given, an error is thrown (depending on the setting settings.errorHandling). If the desired behaviour is to show a different news record this can be set in the plugin with the field “singleNews”.
The drawback would be that the alternative news record would be always the same. If this should be kind of dynamic, take a look at the given TypoScript snippet:
plugin.tx_news.settings {
overrideFlexformSettingsIfEmpty = singleNews,cropMaxCharacters,dateField,timeRestriction,orderBy,orderDirection,backPid,listPid,startingpoint
useStdWrap = singleNews
singleNews.stdWrap.cObject = CONTENT
singleNews.stdWrap.cObject {
table = tx_news_domain_model_news
select {
max = 1
orderBy = datetime
pidInList = 3
}
renderObj = TEXT
renderObj.field = uid
}
}
By using the field useStdWrap it is possible to call the full range of stdWrap on any setting. In this case the first news record from the page with uid 3 is used as fallback.
Show news items with same category in Detail.html¶
If you want to show in the detail action articles with the same category as the current one, you can use a snippet like this one:
Add this to the Detail.html which will pass the first category uid to the TypoScript object lib.tx_news.relatedByFirstCategory.
<f:if condition="{newsItem.firstCategory}">
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.tx_news.relatedByFirstCategory">{newsItem.firstCategory.uid}</f:cObject>
</f:if>
lib.tx_news.relatedByFirstCategory = USER
lib.tx_news.relatedByFirstCategory {
userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
extensionName = News
pluginName = Pi1
vendorName = GeorgRinger
switchableControllerActions {
News {
1 = list
}
}
settings < plugin.tx_news.settings
settings {
relatedView = 1
detailPid = 31
useStdWrap := addToList(categories)
categories.current = 1
categoryConjunction = or
overrideFlexformSettingsIfEmpty := addToList(detailPid)
startingpoint = 78
}
}
Important is the line categories.current = 1 which will set the category configuration.
Of course you need to adopt the snippet to your own needs, like setting the detailPid, startingPoint, …
By defining a custom property like relatedView = 1 you can differ in the List.html if it is called by this snippet or by a regular plugin.
