TYPO3 Extension `news_form_fill`
================================

[](#typo3-extension-news_form_fill)

This extension provides information of the news record (EXT:news) to the emails generated by EXT:form.

Typical use case: Imagine events based on news articles. Every article contains a link to a page with the form to be able to register.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the extension with `composer req georgringer/news-form-fill`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Form Configuration

[](#form-configuration)

The newly available finisher needs to be placed **before** the email finisher(s).

Either use the UI as seen below or add the finisher manually in the yaml file

```
finishers:
  -
    identifier: NewsVariableProvider
```

[![finisher.png](Resources/Public/Screenshots/finisher.png)](Resources/Public/Screenshots/finisher.png)

After that, place a hidden field in the form with the identifier `newsid`

```
      -
        defaultValue: null
        type: Hidden
        identifier: newsid
        label: News
```

### Link to the form

[](#link-to-the-form)

Generate the link to the form with a link like this:

```
https://example.ddev.site/booking?newsid=123

```

You can now check if the prefill works by checking the source code of your page. It should contain a hidden field with the news id.

```

```

### Use the news information in the template

[](#use-the-news-information-in-the-template)

This extension registers a demo layout in the `BaseSetup.yaml` file

```
TYPO3:
  CMS:
    Form:
      prototypes:
        standard:
          finishersDefinition:
            EmailToReceiver:
              options:
                templateRootPaths:
                  1714495718: 'EXT:news_form_fill/Resources/Private/Templates/Finishers/Email/'
            EmailToSender:
              options:
                templateRootPaths:
                  1714495718: 'EXT:news_form_fill/Resources/Private/Templates/Finishers/Email/'
```

Take a look at `Resources/Private/Templates/Finishers/Email/Default.html` to see how the news information is retrieved in the email.

Currently there is a hardcoded access to the following fields: uid, pid, title, teaser, bodytext.
