Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install using [composer](https://getcomposer.org/): ``` composer require 'vierwd/typo3-smarty' ``` ### Usage in controllers [](#usage-in-controllers) To use smarty templates for your extension's actions, just extend the `Vierwd\VierwdSmarty\Controller\ActionController`. Your templates need to be at the same location as your Fluid templates used to be, but with the file extension `.tpl`. #### Example [](#example) ``` // Classes/Controller/BlogController.php namespace Example\ExampleBlog\Controller; class BlogController extends \Vierwd\VierwdSmarty\Controller\ActionController { /** * @var \Example\ExampleBlog\Domain\Repository\PostRepository * @TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation\Inject */ protected $postRepository; public function listAction() { $posts = $this->postRepository->findAll(); $this->view->assign('posts', $posts); } } ``` ``` {* Resources/Private/Templates/Blog/List.tpl *} {foreach $posts as $post} {$post->getTitle()} {$post->getContent()|escape|nl2p nofilter} {/foreach} ``` ### Pre-defined variables [](#pre-defined-variables) There are some variables, that are always available to your templates: Variable NameContentscObjThe current ContentObject (instance of `TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentObjectRenderer`)extensionPathThe path to your extension (`typo3conf/ext/example_blog/`)extensionName`ExampleBlog`pluginName`Pi1` (or whatever you defined in ext\_tables.php)controllerName`Blog`actionName`list`contextThe controllerContext (instance of `TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ControllerContext`)requestThe current request (instance of `TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\MvcRequest`)formPrefixPrefix form fields need as name to automatically map form fields to argumentssettingsFlexform settings for the pluginframeworkSettingsTypoScript settings for `plugin.tx_exampleblog`typolinkServiceAn instance of `TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Service\TypoLinkCodecService`TSFE`$TSFE` (instance of `TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Controller\TypoScriptFrontendController`)### Pre-defined smarty functions, blocks and modifiers [](#pre-defined-smarty-functions-blocks-and-modifiers) - translate - uri\_resource - uri\_action - link\_action - flashMessages - nl2p - email - typolink - typoscript - fluid - svg ### Power-Blocks: typoscript and fluid [](#power-blocks-typoscript-and-fluid) What's realy good about this extension is, that you can still use typoscript and fluid within your Smarty templates. That way you can ensure, that an element gets exactly the same HTML output as a normal content element like Text-with-images. If you write a form, it's also good to fallback to Fluid for some ViewHelpers. #### Typoscript [](#typoscript) ``` {capture assign=text} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Dolorem, earum est reiciendis modi neque in veniam rerum deleniti et praesentium? Numquam, odit, itaque voluptate pariatur adipisci enim tempora ducimus dolor! {/capture} {typoscript header='TypoScript Example' bodytext=$text CType=text} lib.parseFunc_RTE > 10 < tt_content {/typoscript} ``` ##### Output (Line-breaks added) [](#output-line-breaks-added) ``` TypoScript Example Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Dolorem, earum est reiciendis modi neque in veniam rerum deleniti et praesentium? Numquam, odit, itaque voluptate pariatur adipisci enim tempora ducimus dolor! ``` The changes to the typoscript will not persist. That way you can remove `lib.parseFunc_RTE` in one TypoScript Block and still use it in another. It is also possible to use an array `data` for all arguments: ``` {capture assign=text} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Dolorem, earum est reiciendis modi neque in veniam rerum deleniti et praesentium? Numquam, odit, itaque voluptate pariatur adipisci enim tempora ducimus dolor! {/capture} {$data=[ CType => text, header => 'TypoScript Example', header_layout => 1, bodytext => $text ]} {typoscript data=$data header_layout=2} lib.parseFunc_RTE > 10 < tt_content {/typoscript} ``` Notice, that parameters in the block-tag override array keys (in this example header\_layout): ##### Output (Line-breaks added) [](#output-line-breaks-added-1) ``` TypoScript Example Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Dolorem, earum est reiciendis modi neque in veniam rerum deleniti et praesentium? Numquam, odit, itaque voluptate pariatur adipisci enim tempora ducimus dolor! ``` Using Smarty for the base template ---------------------------------- [](#using-smarty-for-the-base-template) It is also possible to use Smarty for the base template of your website in your main TypoScript setup ``` page = PAGE page.10 < plugin.tx_vierwdsmarty page.10.settings { template = EXT:example_blog/Resources/Private/Templates/main.tpl typoscript.navigation < lib.navigation typoscript.footerNavigation < lib.footerNavigation typoscript.content < styles.content.get typoscript.logo < lib.logo } ``` All entries in settings.typoscript will be parsed and will be available as variables in your template. ``` {* example_blog/Resources/Private/Templates/main.tpl *} {$logo nofilter} {$navigation nofilter} {$content nofilter} {$footerNavigation nofilter} ``` Note the nofilter argument for Smarty. By default all variables will be escaped to prevent some XSS attacks. Using Smarty for Menus ---------------------- [](#using-smarty-for-menus) ``` lib.navigation = HMENU lib.navigation { entryLevel = 0 1 = SMARTY 1 { expAll = 1 extensionName = vierwd_example template = Navigation/Main.tpl NO = 1 ACT = 1 IFSUB = 1 ACTIFSUB = 1 } 2 < .1 2.template = Navigation/Submenu.tpl 3 < .2 } ``` This code block will load the templates at `typo3conf/ext/vierwd_example/Resources/Private/Templates/Navigation/` to render the navigation. Within the template you can iterate over your menu items and output the menu: ``` {foreach $menu as $item} {$hasSubmenu = $menuObject->isSubMenu($item.uid)} {$isActive = $menuObject->isActive($item.uid)} {$item.nav_title|default:$item.title} {$menuObject->submenu($item.uid) nofilter} {/foreach} ``` ### Health Score 46 — FairBetter than 93% of packages Maintenance59 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity26 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 99.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
