Introduction¶

Users manual¶

The only new feature in stdWrap is the new {glob:...} pattern. With it you can insert data from the $GLOBALS array which contains (AFAIK) all variables actually defined in the PHP script. You can not just access plain variables but also objects and arrays and their object-variables or array-values. You can access object-variables by their names and array-values by their keys.

To generate a Text content object which contains the acutally logged in User you would have to create a code similar to the following:

temp.mytext = TEXT
temp.mytext.insertData = 1
temp.mytext.value = Actually logged in User: {glob:TSFE:fe_user:user:username}

You see you can insert an arbitrary value from $GLOBALS['TSFE'] by using {glob:TSFE:...}

For example you can also insert the Site-Title as defined in the Templates and the actual page title.

temp.mytitle = TEXT
temp.mytitle.insertData = 1
temp.mytitle.value = {glob:TSFE:tmpl:setup:sitetitle}: {glob:TSFE:page:title}

If you are looking for a value but you don't exactly know how it is called and where you find it you can output the content of some array in one of your extensions with:

print_r ($GLOBALS['TSFE')

Which prints TSFE for example. But be aware that this is a rather large list. You should avoid to do print_r($GLOBALS) as this will result in many KB of HTML data generated and you won't be able to find something in the generated output.

TIP: Use View source feature of your browser to view the output of print_r properly.

Known problems¶

None at the moment

To-Do list¶

Pherhaps add some more fancy stuff. Like add the possibility to call functions and use their return values.
