Administration

Important

The flag Allow queries (Admin) must be set by an Admin user in the content flexform to execute queries.

Warning

This extension generates raw javacript codes from the chart configurations in the backend.

Most often, simple configurations are taken from the chart.js documentation. However, more complex configurations can be entered. As said in the TYPO3 Security Guide, “Even if editors do not insert malicious code intentionally, sometimes the lack of knowledge, expertise or security awareness could put your website under risk”.

Admin users should be careful before granting the rights for backend users to enter charts.

TypoScript Constants and Setup

The extension comes with defaut TypoScript configurations for constants and setup.

plugin.tx_savcharts {
   view {
      # cat=plugin.tx_savcharts/file; type=string; label=Path to template root (FE)
      templateRootPath = EXT:sav_charts/Resources/Private/Templates/
      # cat=plugin.tx_savcharts/file; type=string; label=Path to template partials (FE)
      partialRootPath = EXT:sav_charts/Resources/Private/Partials/
      # cat=plugin.tx_savcharts/file; type=string; label=Path to template layouts (FE)
      layoutRootPath = EXT:sav_charts/Resources/Private/Layouts/
   }
   persistence {
      # cat=plugin.tx_savcharts//a; type=string; label=Default storage PID
      storagePid =
   }
}

plugin.tx_savcharts {
   view {
      templateRootPath = {$plugin.tx_savcharts.view.templateRootPath}
      partialRootPath = {$plugin.tx_savcharts.view.partialRootPath}
      layoutRootPath = {$plugin.tx_savcharts.view.layoutRootPath}
   }
   persistence {
      storagePid = {$plugin.tx_savcharts.persistence.storagePid}
   }
}

Marker Tags From TypoScript

Marker tags can be created from TypoScript and used in charts. In the following example the marker MyMarker takes the value MyValue.

plugin.tx_savcharts.settings.marker.myMarker = TEXT
plugin.tx_savcharts.settings.marker.myMarker.value = MyValue

Marker Replacement in Queries

Marker replacement can also be performed in queries. The following example shows how to define the marker MyMarker associated with the query whose uid is equal to 1. The marker value MyValue will replace any marker ###MyMarker### in the query clauses.

plugin.tx_savcharts.settings.customQuery = COA
plugin.tx_savcharts.settings.customQuery.1.MyMarker = TEXT
plugin.tx_savcharts.settings.customQuery.1.MyMarker.value = MyValue
