In my extension I use an tablename.php file inside the tca/override folder to override some stuff defined by another extension. I know I can do this:
$GLOBALS['TCA']['tablename']['columns']['anoption']['config']['minitems'] = 1;
But when the original file says:
... 'anoption''config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig(
'anoption',
['maxitems' => 7,]
What will be the override syntax? I was trying something like:
$GLOBALS['TCA']['tablename']['columns']['anoption']['config']['anoption']['maxitems'] = 3;
But that doesn't work and I don't know what I have to insert after config since in the original file there is that getFileTCAConfig function.
Also I was wondering how I could debug "$GLOBALS['TCA']['tablename']['columns']['anoption']" to somehow see all the suboptions, since I did not find anything inside the mysql database, I couldn't read any config from the phpMyAdmin.
I appreciate all the help!
You can debug the final TCA in the TYPO3 backend through the Configuration module in the System section. Once you open that module you select $GLOBALS['TCA'] (Table configuration array) in the topmost function select box:

I have just noticed that the object method autocomplete does not bring up a list of methods to autocomplete with. I saw it when I was using the $PDO->bindParam() method. Normally, I can just start typing "bi" after the method arrow and the autocomplete will come straight up with the method. Now, these methods do not appear, however methods and attributes in my personally defined classes will appear. Also, it says "PHPDoc not found".
It's strange because it has worked fine previously. The only thing I can think of is that I had to delete the project out of Netbeans and then recover it back using "new project from existing sources".
Is there a broken link to a documentation file I need to re-connect? How would I go about fixing this? Also, apologies if this is an asinine question.
Code completion
To get context sensitive code completion, follow these steps:
Include Yii folder (assuming it is properly placed outside project directory)
Open "File > Project properties > PHP Include Path" and add the Yii framework root path
Ignore yiilite.php to avoid doubled/missing documentation
Open "Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Files"
Add to the front of "Files Ignored by the IDE" the file "^(yiilite\.php|CVS|SCCS|...."
Restart NetBeans
Code completion in view files
Add the following PHPDoc statement at the head of the file to use code completion in view files. (you may add additional passed parameters as well)
/* #var $this PostController */
/* #var $model Post */
$this->getSomeProValue(); // possible with code completion
$model->author; // possible with code completion
Usage:
Typing suggestions: Ctrl-Space
Show Function parameters: Ctrl-P
Comment your own code with PHPDoc style. Here's a good example.
I have a Joomla website where I have a custom module with mod_myModuleName.php and mod_myModuleName.xml files and a folder where there are several PHP scripts that add special functionality to my module. There is a config.php file in the folder that holds an associative array with variables and their values hard-coded. The module works just fine.
What I want though is to provide administrator area for the values of the variables in the array, so that I can put values in administrator panel and get their values in config.php. In my mod_myModuleName.php I use <?php echo $params->get('param')?> and it works like a charm.
But when I try to use the same technique in the config.php it breaks my code. I tried to get the values in mod_myModuleName.php and then include it in config.php and use the variables but it does not work either. I have not got so much experience in php and cannot understand what can be the reason.
It sometimes gives me an error of something non object and I guess it must be something connected with object oriented php, am I right? And if so is there a way to overcome this without object orientation or how can I solve my problem?
The problem will be with the way you're using your config.php.
When your modules entry point file mod_myModuleName.php is loaded by Joomla the $params object is already available in that context, you need to provide it to your scripts.
If you look at something like the mod_articles_latest module you will notice that the helper class is included with this line:
require_once __DIR__ . '/helper.php';
And then helper class is has it's getList() method called statically with the $params passed into it, so that $params is available to class context:
$list = ModArticlesLatestHelper::getList($params);
Inside the helper class ModArticlesLatestHelper you will notice that the getList() expects the $params to be passed in.
public static function getList(&$params)
{
...
}
I would strongly recommend reading the articles in the Modules section of Developers Portal on the Joomla Doc's.
Try the "Creating a simple module" article.
I am using Code Igniter, The HMVC library, and Smarty with this library.
Smarty is working fine by default, however if I try to use smarty's inheritance feature ( {extends file="master.tpl"}) then we run into an issue.
The extends feature does not look in the module views folder for the extended file (in the above's case master.tpl), instead it only looks in the application/views/ folder and throws an error if it cannot find it.
I could add APPPATH."modules/smartytest/views" to the $config['template_directory'] array in the smarty config file. but that throws an error for each item in the array it checks first for the file. filemtime(): stat failed for application/views/master.tpl
and that has the added issue of, if I have three modules all the the array and the modules all have a master.tpl then no matter what module I call the extend from it will load the first one found.
So, is there a way to get smarty's extend function to behave nicely with the HMVC modules?
Ah, found a working solution,
in My_Parser.php edit the block at line 30 so it reads:
// Modular Separation / Modular Extensions has been detected
if (method_exists( $this->CI->router, 'fetch_module' ))
{
$this->_module = $this->CI->router->fetch_module();
//add the current module view folder as a template directory
if ($this->_module !== '')
$this->CI->smarty->addTemplateDir(APPPATH."modules/".$this->_module.'/views');
}
The one drawback of this method is that smarty will look in your application/views folder before the module views folder. if someone knows a solution to that then it would be fantastic.
The problem is that CI is not checking error_reporting() returns 0, because Smarty is using the # control operator:
So add the line at the top of the function "_exception_handler":
if (error_reporting() == 0) return;
To the "Common.php" file in the "_exception_handler" function (line 469), or create your own function with the same name before calling "CodeIgniter.php" in the index.php file.
Best!
I want to know a clean way of defining Application Constants in Codeigniter. I don't want to change any native file of codeigniter. Hence I don't want to define it in application/config/constants.php as when I need to migrate to newer version of code-igniter I will not be able to copy the native files of codeigniter directly.
I created a file application/config/my_constants.php and defined my constants there. 'define('APP_VERSION', '1.0.0');'
I loaded it using $this->load->config('my_constants');
But I am getting a error
Your application/config/dv_constants.php file does not appear to contain a valid configuration array.
Please suggest me a clean way of defining application level constants in code-igniter.
Not using application/config/constants.php is nonsense! That is the only place you should be putting your constants. Don't change the files in system if you are worried about upgrading.
just a complete answer. (None of the answers show how to use the constants that were declared)
The process is simple:
Defining a constant. Open config/constants.php and add the following line:
define('SITE_CREATOR', 'John Doe')
use this constant in another file using:
$myVar = 'This site was created by '.SITE_CREATOR.' Check out my GitHub Profile'
Instead of using define(), your my_constants.php file should look something like this:
$config['app_version'] = '1.0.0';
Be careful with naming the array key though, you don't want to conflict with anything.
If you need to use define(), I would suggest doing it in the main index.php file, though you will still need to use APP_VERSION to get the value.
config file (system/application/config/config.php) to set configuration related variables.
Or use
constant file (system/application/config/constants.php) to store site preference constants.
=======================
DEFINE WHAT YOU WANT
=======================
$config['index_page'] = 'home';
$config['BASEPATH'] = 'PATH TO YOUR HOST';

Define variable in to constants & add value on array
$ORDER_STATUS = array('0'=>'In Progress','1'=>'On Hold','2'
=>'Awaiting Review','3'=>'Completed','4'
=>'Refund Requested','5'=>'Refunded');
You can accomplish your goal by adding constants to your own config file, such as my_config.php.
You would save this file in the application/config folder, like this:
application/config/my_config.php.
It is very common to have a separate config file for each application you write, so this would be easy to maintain and be understood by other CI programmers.
You can instruct CI to autoload this file or you can load it manually, as needed. See the CI manual on "Config class".
Let me suggest that you use composer.json to autoload your own Constants.php file, like this:
I want to override a helper.php file of a module, exactly
\administrator\modules\mod_quickicon\helper.php
what I want is to update the getButtons function in this file
what are the options I have to override this particular file ? its possible using a plugin ?
thanks
You can really only do a template override on the file in the tmpl folder called default.php. If you want to override helper.php, you're essentially rewriting the module itself. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just copy the contents of the existing helper.php file into another file for backup, and hack away. The downside of doing this is that if someone updates the module, and you install that update, you'll have to redo your hack. Again, it's not that hard to work around. Just backup backup backup.
Some more thoughts:
You could also do the following:
1) Copy the module to a different folder, beginning with mod_ as well, but with a different name.
2) Modify the xml file, helper file, component file (and any others that are necessary) to account for the new name. Also do whatever you want to helper.php.
3) Go to extension manager and do a discover install of this new module
4) Go to module manager and make a new instance of the new module (using the same position as the old one).
5) Unpublish the module you're replacing
Doing this will keep you safe from update loss.
Here is what I've done with Joomla! 3.3.1 but it might be done with Joomla! 1.7, too:
Copy default.php from
/administrator/modules/mod_quickicon/tmpl/
to
/administrator/templates/YOUR_ADMIN_TEMPLATE_NAME/html/mod_quickicon/
Open the copied file and replace the line below
$html = JHtml::_('links.linksgroups', ModQuickIconHelper::groupButtons($buttons));
with these lines:
$myLinks = array(
'YOUR_QUICKICON_GROUP_NAME' => array(
array(
'link' => JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_YOURCOMPONENT'),
'image' => 'stack',
'icon' => 'header/icon-48-article-add.png',
'text' => JText::_('YOUR_QUICKICON_ITEM_NAME'),
'access' => array('core.manage', 'com_YOURCOMPONENT'),
'group' => 'YOUR_QUICKICON_GROUP_NAME'
)
)
);
$array = ModQuickIconHelper::groupButtons($buttons);
$array = array_merge($myLinks, $array);
$html = JHtml::_('links.linksgroups', $array);
That's it. You can edit or create /administrator/language/overrides/en-GB.override.ini and add these lines:
YOUR_QUICKICON_GROUP_NAME="The Group"
YOUR_QUICKICON_ITEM_NAME="The Item"
Enjoy!
