This extensions lets you include any and everything you can do with TypoScript. Therefore TS knowledge is essential!
By filling the array plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers you can create as many cObjects as you like.
Take a look at the following examples.
Output of a link
Create the following TS
plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers {link = TEXT
link {value = Important link
typolink.parameter = www.typo3.org
}
}
Create a marker called ###GENERIC_LINK### inside any of the possible views of tt_news (list, single, ...) and clear the cache. Now you should see a link to typo3.org instead of the marker in the Frontend (maybe you need to clear the cache).
Output of your username
Create the following TS
plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers {username = TEXT
username.data = TSFE:fe_users|username
}
Create a marker called ###GENERIC_USERNAME### inside any of the possible views of tt_news (list, single, ...) to get the username of the current logged in user.
Different TS for different views
Of course you can set a different TS for differernt views by using a code like this
plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers {SINGLE {test = TEXT
test.value = abc
}
test = TEXT
test.value = def
}
The output at the marker ###GENERIC_TEST### will be “abc” at the single view and “def” in all others.
You need a bit more knowledge about TS to follow those.
Use data of the current tt_news record
It is possible to use any data of the tt_news record by setting
plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers.data = title,uid
Now you are able to use the values of the fields title and uid like that
plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers {data = title
title2 = TEXT
title2 {field = generic_title
wrap = Title again: |
}
}
So if you need another field, just use the kickstarter to extend tt_news and use this way to output your new data.
Tip-A-Friend-Link
Use the next example to create a link for a tip-a-friend-extension by TS only.
plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers {tip = TEXT
tip {value = Send this page to a friend
typolink.parameter = 10778
typolink.additionalParams.cObject = COA
typolink.additionalParams.cObject {# rawUrlEncoded link
10 = COA
10 {10 = TEXT
10.data = TSFE:baseUrl
# including all parameters from the query string.
20 = TEXT
20.typolink.parameter.data = page:uid
20.typolink.addQueryString = 1
20.typolink.addQueryString.exclude = id,tipUrl
20.typolink.returnLast = url
# rawurlencode to use url as one parameter
stdWrap.rawUrlEncode = 1
}
wrap = &tipUrl=|
}
wrap = => |
}
}
The marker needs to be named ###GENERIC_TIP###.
