Configuration

Target group: Developers, Integrators

jwtools2 initially does nothing after installation. Each feature has to be activated manually with Extensionmanager configuration (TYPO3 8.7) or with module Settings since TYPO3 9.5.

Property details

typo3EnableUidInPageTree

Activate this settings to show page UIDs in front of page title in pagetree. Yes, it's the same settings like:

options.pageTree.showPageIdWithTitle = 1

typo3TransferTypoScriptCurrent

This is a really special setting. It transports the value of current into its Subproperties. Please have a look to following TypoScript:

tt_content.list.20.avalex_avalex.stdWrap {
  setContentToCurrent = 1
  cObject = CONTENT
  cObject {
    table = tx_drstmplmodule_domain_model_configuration
    select {
      pidInList = {$drs.root}
    }
    renderObj = TEXT
    renderObj {
      current = 1
      replacement {
        10.search = avalexDefaultChurch
        10.replace.data = FIELD:church
        20.search = avalexDefaultResponsible
        20.replace.data = FIELD:responsible
        30.search = avalexDefaultStreet
        30.replace.dataWrap = {FIELD:street} {FIELD:house_number}
        40.search = avalexDefaultZIP
        40.replace.data = FIELD:zip
        50.search = avalexDefaultCity
        50.replace.data = FIELD:city
      }
    }
  }
}

After generating the content of plugin Avalex we call stdWrap and set current to the output of the plugin with setContentToCurrent. As each pagetree has its own configuration record assigned, we have to retrieve this configuration record with CONTENT which sends data to renderObj and now we have a problem: We only have the data of configuration record available within renderObj. As we have a completely new ContentObjectRenderer-object here the current property is empty. So all the replacements in example will be done on an empty string.

If you activate typo3TransferTypoScriptCurrent we make use of a hook in TYPO3 and transfer the value of current into child ContentObjects.

This option will only work for cObj types CONTENT and RECORD.

typo3UploadFieldsInTopOfEB

With TYPO3 8.7.0 following UserTSconfig was removed:

options.uploadFieldsInTopOfEB = 1

https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/52170

After activating this Option we XClasses 3 files to show Upload Fields in top of ElementBrowser and LinkHandler again.

typo3RequiredColumnsForFiles

Add a comma separated list of column names of table sys_file or sys_file_metadata to set these columns as required. If these columns are not filled for an image it is not selectable in FileBrowser. It can not be inserted into a ContentElement or record.

typo3ShowEditButtonInElementInformation

In FileBrowser you can click on the "i" icon to show the element information view. After activation this option you will get an "edit" button just right after the "preview" button for faster access to the file metadata edit form, instead that you have to switch to "filelist" module.

typo3ExcludeVideoFilesFromFalFilter

Hidden files are normally hidden in filelist module of TYPO3. Ok, you can activate hidden files in filelist in your User settings, but may be this Checkbox was hidden by an Integrator or Administrator. Or maybe showing all these system files like .htaccess, .htpasswd, .DS_Store is a little bit too much. If your editor creates a new external video TYPO3 stored this video information in a .youtube and/or .vimeo file. If a title could not be created the files name is still ".youtube". On Mac and Linux Operating Systems files starting with a dot are handled as hidden files. So it is not possible for an editor to rename, edit or show this file. Activating this option will still not show hidden files in general, except files with .youtube and .vimeo file ending.

typo3ApplyFixForMoveTranslatedContentElements

If you move a content element (tt_content) from one col to another (backend_layout) the related translated records will not be moved to new col. This is a problem for over 11 years in TYPO3. See: https://forge.typo3.org/issues/21161

Activate this option to apply a patch (hook) to solve this problem. We add the missing DB queries to move the related translated records to new colPos, too.

BUT: Currently I haven't found a solution to hook into JavaScript of TYPO3 to move the translated records directly. So after a move of tt_content records you have to reload the right frame on your own. If you have a cool idea how to solve that the nice way feel free to create a PullRequest to jwtools2 ;-)

reduceCategoriesToPageTree

Activate this settings to reduce all available sys_category records in Categorytrees to categories which are created in current pagetree.

We try to get the current Page UID you're editing and slide up until we find a page which is configured as isSiteRoot. Now we get all sys_category records for this pagetree and remove all disallowed categories from Categorytrees.

enableSqlQueryTask

Adds a new task to scheduler to execute your individual SQL-Query.

enableContextMenuToUpdateFileMetadata

Adds a new entry Create/Update file metadata into context menu of filelist module to create a missing file metadata record or to update the existing metadata record (sys_file_metadata).

This entry will read original width/height from file and uses them to create a NEW file (imagemagick) with same dimension, 100% quality and colorspace RGB to update width/height also in EXIF metadata. That's needed for the registered file extractors like OnlineHelper and EXT:tika which may read width/heigth from EXIF instead, which could be wrong in some cases. Because of different image tools (Photoshop, Paint, Gimp) the original file may result in a different image size after process with imagemagick/graphicsmagick.

enableCachingFrameworkLogger

With help of the Caching Framework Logger you can analyze each cache entry just before it was written to cache.

This feature is helpful to inform you, if a "wrong" cache entry was written.

If you activate that feature you (as administrator) have to create one or more cache expression records on root page (PID: 0). Give it a title and enter an expression. If you just search for a word in a cache entry leave checkbox for regular expression untouched. Internally it will start a PHP:mb_strpos search, so please be aware of case sensitive strings. For more complex search activate checkbox for regular expression. It starts a PHP:preg_match search internally. You don't need to prepend/append a delimiter. It uses "/" internally and escaped values for you automatically.

enableLiveSearchPerformanceForAdmins

For admins LiveSearch is very slow (TYPO3 < 11). That's because LiveSearch builds up a complete list of ALL available page UIDs. That's not neccessary as admins always have access to all pages.

Activate that checkbox to get more performance while searching with LiveSearch as admin.

enableReportProvider

If EXT:reports is installed and activated this option will add additional information to reports module. These information will also be available in status report mail, if configured in scheduler.

Currently following information will be shown:

  • List of all (not only security related) updatable extensions incl. version number.

  • ...

sendUpdatableExtensionsWithSeverity

Default: info

Only valid, if option enableReportProvider was activated and you make use of the System Status Update (reports) task.

The information about updatable extensions has a severity of type INFO by default. It does not make sense for us to categorize bugfix extensions as WARNING. But why should YOU decide about that?

There is a checkbox called Always send notification mail (not only on errors or warnings) in System Status Update (reports) task which is deactivated by default. As we categorize updatable extensions as INFO you will not be notified about them in status mail. But if you activate the checkbox in task you will be notified about various system status and of cause updatable extensions with each scheduler run. Yes, this can be a lot of mails and a lot of content to search for the right section. Maybe a frustrating job.

Setting sendUpdatableExtensionsWithSeverity to warning will set severity of updatable extensions to WARNING. Now, you can leave the checkbox in task deactivated and you will only get mails, if there are warnings in your TYPO3 system and/or updatable extensions.

solrEnable

Activates Solr feature in our jwtools2 Backend module where you can manage your Solr cores and clear individual index types.

solrSchedulerTaskUid

If you make use of our Solr Scheduler Task after activating solrEnable you must copy and paste the UID of our Scheduler Task into this setting. We need it to show Scheduler Task related information in our Solr backend module.

solrApplyPatches

We have fixed following issues in EXT:solr: - https://github.com/TYPO3-Solr/ext-solr/pull/2323/ - https://github.com/TYPO3-Solr/ext-solr/pull/2324/

Currently these patches were merged in EXT:solr version 10. If you need these fixes for earlier solr versions you can activate this checkbox to override them via TYPO3 XClasses.
