Extending controllers¶

If we want to add new actions or change existing ones edit actions. In this example wee add a custom validator and change updateAction:

1. Create class:

   <?php
   class Tx_Communitylocal_Controller_UserController extends Tx_Community_Controller_UserController {
   /**
   * Update the edited user.
   *
   * @param Tx_Community_Domain_Model_User $updatedUser
   * @validate $updatedUser Tx_Communitylocal_Domain_Validator_EditUserValidator
   */
   public function updateAction(Tx_Community_Domain_Model_User $updatedUser) {
    parent::updateAction($updatedUser);
   // CUSTOM CODE HERE
   }
   /**
   * Foo
   */
   public function fooAction() {
   // CUSTOM CODE HERE
    }
   }
   

2. In TS add the following code:

   # force communityLocal to use the same request parameter namespace
   plugin.tx_communitylocal.view.pluginNamespace = tx_community
   #override controller
   config.tx_extbase.objects.Tx_Community_Controller_UserController.className = Tx_Communitylocal_Controller_UserController
   

3. In ext_localconf.php:

   //Add foo action to existing plugin
   $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['extbase']['extensions']['Community']['plugins']['RelationManagement']['controllers']['User']['actions'][] = 'foo';
   $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['extbase']['extensions']['Community']['plugins']['RelationManagement']['controllers']['User']['nonCacheableActions'][] = 'foo';
   //Add new plugin for foo action
   Tx_Extbase_Utility_Extension::configurePlugin(
     'community',
     'Foo',
     array(
         'User' => 'foo',
     ),
     array(
         'User' => 'foo',
     )
   );
   

4. In ext_tables.php add the following code:

   Tx_Extbase_Utility_Extension::registerPlugin(
       'community',
       'Foo',
       'Community: Nice Name For New Plugin'
   );
