Plugin and Pages¶

You need atleast two pages for managing and displaying the books, one Sysfolder and one standard page which will contain the plugin.

The plugin must be of type Book Library. In the plugin you need to select the sysfolder as startingpoint and as long as you use only one folder for the books the recursive selectbox could be left empty.

Books¶

Books are split in four parts. They consists of books, category, series and extras. Extras has an additional subpart the extraslabel.

To create a book you need categories and series first. They are for information and sorting purpose. After you selected those and the textfield in the book, you can add additional informations like publisher or translators if its an foreign author that wrote the book.

For these extras you are able to add further lables that get displayed in frontend when extras are rendered. Extras are rendered as continuous text as long as there is no linebreak in these textbox. If a linebreak is found in this box the hole content gets rendered as unordered list.

    }

Adding Items to locations¶

Its possible to add items to the locations fields by using pageTS. Remember, that you need to add typoscript with every item that you add for the frontend labels too. There are three locations available (location1, location2, location3).

TCEFORM.tx_sfbooks_books.location1.addItems {
        2 = Room 02
        3 = Room 03
}

plugin.tx_sfbooks_pi1._LOCAL_LANG {
     default {
           label_location1_I_3 = Room03
        }
   de {
                label_location1_I_3 = Raum 03
       }
}
