I am building an TYPO3 extension with Extbase and want to store data which I get via HTTP GET.
Now I struggle with possibility to use a browser to access the action controller.
The plugin is implemented into page 102
The extension key is xyzlist
the Plugin Name is xyzlistdb
The controller name is PlaylistController
The action is getAction
The domain name is sub.domain.de
In the PlaylistController.php is under getAction only
error_log("GetAction",0);
to figure out, if the browser url goes to the getAction.
Here the URL I am using
http://sub.domain.de/index.php?id=102&tx_xyzlist_xyzlistdb[controller]=playlist&tx_xyzlist_xyzlisdb[action]=get
In the browser I am using '&' instead of only '&'
But if I only use '&', it also not access the Get action
But I don't get any message in the log file!
What I am doing wrong?
Here you have multiple possibilities...
First, you can disable [FE][pageNotFoundOnCHashError] (Install-Tool), so you dont get an 404 on invalid cHash. This is globaly for you site for all plugins. Its not the secure way.
Second, you can set plugin.tx_xyzlist_xyzlistdb.features.requireCHashArgumentForActionArguments = 0 in your typoscript to disable the pageNotFoundOnCHashError for you plugin.
Last, you can add your variables to [FE][cHashExcludedParameters] (Install-Tool), so that your variables are not included in the cHash calculation.
To get the correct link, you will have to use typolink. Probably the easiest way to generate a link to a plugin action is to use f:uri.action in a template like this:
<f:uri.action pageUid="102" extensionName="xyzlist" pluginName="xyzlistdb" action="get" />
https://docs.typo3.org/other/typo3/view-helper-reference/9.5/en-us/typo3/fluid/latest/Link/Action.html
Write first letter of your controller name capitalized.
http://sub.domain.de/index.php?id=102&tx_xyzlist_xyzlistdb[controller]=Playlist&tx_xyzlist_xyzlisdb[action]=get
Also do not turn off cHash without a good reason. That problem is not a reason at all.
Jonas mentioned to generate a link to your action with:
<f:uri.action pageUid="102" extensionName="xyzlist" pluginName="xyzlistdb" action="get" />
It is indeed a good and time saving practice.

When I click on "Laxatives"
Then I should see the '/laxatives" page
For the above behat scenario how can i validate or make sure that it redirects to correct url.
For now when i run this it redirects to correct page, but if incase it does not how will i validate through script.Kindly help
when there is no big amount of links you're testing, you can use switch statement to specify expected URL for each option.
Otherwise I would suggest to create some class acting like translations, so when you request Laxatives, it will tell you, that "/laxatives" string must be present within the page URL. You can then specify this "translations" in some JSON or CSV file.
Then just use: $this->assertSession()->addressMatches($regex); where the regex will be set by switch statement or loaded by the class I mentioned.
The simplest and easiest way of achieving is this:
Given I am on 'home-page'
When I follow 'link-to-laxatives-page'
Then I should see 'Welcome to Laxatives'
So Welcome to Laxatives is a simple text which presents in /laxatives page.
Note: If there is a text which is completely unique to the page then use that otherwise use something else.
OTHER OPTIONS:
You can use getCurrentUrl() in your FeatureContext.
Use already build-in step which is in MinkContext
I'm not able to figure this out on my own so here I am asking for your help.
How do I load a website that I already made as a view in the code igniter default controller?
I put my website under a folder name site, and in the default controller I loaded the view site/index , but then in my site there are problems with the includes and redirects... I don't know why, I guess the way the site usually works with redirecting isn't compatible with code igniter style
edit: I guess I would have to turn off CI engine for this site, but I don't know why, because I would still need codeingiter to manage other parts of my application
"CodeIgniter can be told to load a default controller when a URI is not present, as will be the case when only your site root URL is requested. To specify a default controller, open your application/config/routes.php file and set this variable:
$route['default_controller'] = 'Blog';
Where Blog is the name of the controller class you want used. If you now load your main index.php file without specifying any URI segments you'll see your Hello World message by default."
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/controllers.html
fragment copied from that link , you should put the controllers classname in that config, not the view
I guess it's better to choose one of these options:
Modify the existing site to a CodeIgniter site.
Keep your site separate from the CodeIgniter site, and just link between the two sites.
The way you are trying to do it seems very useless and causing a lot of extra trouble.
You can simply use the redirect function in your controller. If you supply a full URL you can go to any other page. You will, of course, leave your CI app.
redirect('http://www.example.net/page_in_external_site/');
Try using the APPPATH constant when defining the paths for the includes.
I know it's an old question, but you can try using a view template with an iframe, and you can pass the URL to the src property of the iframe. That way you can display your site inside a view, but still can't get access to the vars passed to the view from your site.
In system/Core/Loader.php change the line 141 to look like this:
$this->_ci_view_paths = array(APPPATH . 'views/' => TRUE, FCPATH => TRUE);
and to get the view is simple:
$this->load->view('application/ PATH_TO_VIEW');
I have a html form that his action is for "exmaple.com/mail.php?name=dan" for example.
How can I pass this parameter to Codeigniter's controller?
the 'action' in codeigniter is going to - example.com/mail, can't I do exmaple.com/mail?name=dan, right? so what can I do? (And.. I can't use Ajax for this :-))
There are several solutions. You can do it like this $name=$this->input->get("name"), but if you want to preserve the Codeigniter's philosophy you can use Javascript to change the action url of the form to /mail/dan. In that case you can access the data with this: $name=$this->uri->segment($number). $number in your case is 2, becouse "dan" is in the second URI's segment.
NOTE: If you use the second aproach, keep in mind that codeigniter's default behaviour is to automatically call controller/method from first and second segment of URI. (http://domain.com/controller/method ) In order to prevent this behaviour you can edit application/config/routes.php file. For detailed instructions refer to oficial guide.
You can emit the GET parameter as a hidden input element, i.e.:
<input type=hidden name="name_of_parameter" value="value_of_parameter" />
HOWEVER, there are two very important things to keep in mind when doing this:
You absolutely MUST sanitize the CGI argument that you are going to emit on the page (failure to do so can result in XSS vulnerabilities).
As with any other parameter, you cannot trust that this value has not been altered (so, don't use 'name=dan' to authenticate dan!).
Since I'm inferring from your example that you are using this to identify and authenticate the user, I strongly recommend you use a browser cookie for this (as well as a digital signature that encodes the checksum of this data, so that if it is altered, you can easily identify that it is invalid).
You should also set querystring variables to true:
In your CodeIgniter config;
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
But keep in mind that this changes the way your codeigniter app behaves. See more here
Why can't you simply add a hidden field inside that HTML form and send it along with the form as POST data?
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="dan" />
Of course you would replace the value part dynamically with whatever value you currently have.
After form (method POST) submission i want redirect user to specific page.
usually i used simple line
header("Location: /path/to/redirect/");
exit;
The Zend_Controller_Action have method _redirect example:
$this->_redirect("/path/to/redirect/");
But it have one simple problem: if i refresh page (press F5) last controller action is activated. So its like double post.
Of course i can use old fashion way, but I just want find the zend style redirect.
Edit: p.s after post redirect i want have cleaned form data. Of course i can use own method with header("location:/path") but I searching it implemented in standart zf
Any ideas?
I think thats because _redirect uses an internal redirect. You need to use an external one. You need to use the Redirector action helper directly... in your action:
$this->_redirector->gotoUrlAndExit($url);
Set a session variable that data has been posted, if not post data, redirect?
I have a quick question i hope you guys can answer, i've got a search system that uses POST to do searches, now i want to track queries using Google Analytics but it requires using GET url parameters to pull parameters out the URL, what i don't want to do is rewrite the entire search system to use GET instead of POST. Is there any way around this? I was thinking maybe i can make a GET call to a new page from the page that recieves the search POSTs, but i don't want it to redirect, i merely want it to "hit" the url without actually redirecting?
Is this possible?
Any other solutions would also be appreciated.
Thanks for the help
You can specify an abritrary URL when you add your GA code. For example, all our different checkout pages go through validate.php, so this is the URL that the person would see, however, we put in some extra code to give a specific tracking URL to google.
For example:-
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXX-1");
pageTracker._setDomainName("example.com");
pageTracker._trackPageview("/checkout/login/");
} catch(err) {}
</script>
Would make google track this as being /checkout/login/ even though the page in the browser actually shows /validate.php
You can output (as we do) this page variable from different PHP variables
$searchterm = $_POST['search'];
echo 'pageTracker._trackPageview("/search/' . urlencode($searchterm) . '");';
Sure, use the apache mod_rewrite module to create a fancy, seo friendly url and pass the user keywords in the url.
Something like "www.yoursite.com/search/what+a+user+searches+for/"
In a .htaccess file you create a rule
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)/$ /search.php?keywords=$1
You're orignal script keeps working with your postvalues and you provide an URL with GET variables. With explode("+", $_GET["keywords"]) you can extract the searchvalues.
With the array $_REQUEST you can access all request parameters GET and POST.
The only way you will be able to do this, is re-set the forms method to GET and just changed the $_POST requests to $_GET
Thats not such a huge change?
You should be able to do that with HTTPRequest:
http://php.net/manual/en/class.httprequest.php
You can just alter your Google Analytics code - see Tracking Custom Variables
