DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

Developer Corner¶

Target group: Developers

Use this documentation to find out what to configure in your extension to use the functions of the TYPO3 core. You will find all the parts you need for a feature commented in the code with the number of the example.

Extension manager configuration¶

Find it in the code commented with [Example-1].

Setup a text file ext_conf_template.txt in the root directory of your extension. In the textfile you could use variables to define what the administrator could configure here.

# cat=basic; type=boolean; label=Example for boolean
boolean = 1
# cat=basic; type=string; label=Example uri
example_uri = https://www.github.com

In this extension the configuration is used in the Classes/Controller/AbstractController.php and written to a variable which could be accessed inside of the class.

/**
 * settings in extension manager
 * [Example-1]
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $emSettings;

public function __construct()
{
        parent::__construct();

        /* [Example-1] */
        $this->emSettings = unserialize($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['extConf'][$this->extKey]);
}
