Attention

TYPO3 v8 has reached its end-of-life March 31st, 2020 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 recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

COA, COA_INT

Note

• COA is an object type (= complex data type).

• It is a specific cObject data type.

COA stands for "content object array".

An object with the content type COA is a cObject, in which you can place several other cObjects using numbers to enumerate them.

You can also create this object as a COA_INT in which case it works exactly like the USER_INT object does: It's rendered non-cached! That way you cannot only render non-cached USER_INT objects, but COA_INT allows you to render every cObject non-cached.

Property

if

Data type

->if

Description

If "if" returns false, the COA is not rendered.

Property

1,2,3,4...

Data type

cObject

Description

Numbered properties to define the different cObjects, which should be rendered.

Property

wrap

Data type

wrap /stdWrap

Property

stdWrap

Data type

->stdWrap

[tsref:(cObject).COA/(cObject).COA_INT]

Examples:

lib.menutable = COA
lib.menutable {
  10 = TEXT
  10.value = <table border="0" style="border-spacing: 0px;">

  20 = HMENU
  20.entryLevel = 0
  20.1 = GMENU
  20.1.NO {
    wrap = <tr><td> | </td></tr>
    XY = {$menuXY}
    backColor = {$bgCol}
    20 = TEXT
    20 {
      text.field = title
      fontFile = fileadmin/fonts/hatten.ttf
      fontSize = 23
      fontColor = {$menuCol}
      offset = |*| 5,18 || 25,18
    }
  }

  30 = TEXT
  30.value = </table>
}

The previous example will print a table with a graphical menu in it.

lib.currentDate = COA_INT
lib.currentDate {
  10 = TEXT
  10.stdWrap.data = date:U
  10.stdWrap.strftime = %H:%M:%S
}

This example will not be cached and so will display the current time on each page hit.
