Introduction¶

Configuration¶

Hooks¶

Added in the middle of module installation a hook to add new modules.

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF'][TM_TOPAPPS_EXTkey]['addTopApps']

Note. The function 'addTopApps' must have a parameter. The value must be used to check, if the module will be added among other modules, for example (use the same folder name and module name):

function addTopApps ($moduleName) {

if($moduleName=='my1module')

t3lib_extMgm::addTopApp('xMOD_txtopapps_my1module',t3lib_extMgm::e xtPath($_EXTKEY).'my1module/');

if($moduleName=='my2module')

t3lib_extMgm::addTopApp('xMOD_txtopapps_my2module',t3lib_extMgm::e xtPath($_EXTKEY).'my2module/');

}

I made a hook for the logo menu on the top left corner in order to reset the entire menu.

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF'][TM_TOPAPPS_EXTkey]['logoMenuItems']

Modules 'xMOD_txtopapps_dashboard' and 'xMOD_txtopapps_search' didn't work. I made possible to make hooks for them and create with them proper functionalities.

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF'][TM_TOPAPPS_EXTkey]['addDasboardItems']

Just return with the function 'addDasboardItem ' a string.

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF'][TM_TOPAPPS_EXTkey]['addSearchMenuItems ']

Just return with the function 'addSearchMenuItems ' a string.

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF'][TM_TOPAPPS_EXTkey]['addSearchBox']

Just do needed database operations and echo needed string.

To the second row, where is some shortcut links added by the module 'xMOD_txtopapps_shortcuts', you can add any new link

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF'][TM_TOPAPPS_EXTkey]['addShortcutItems']

Just return with the function 'addShortcutItems' string.

Note. All hooks work only with Typo3 4.1.

Known Problems¶
