Previously I've worked out how to hardcode content areas and the autonav block into my templates. I'm trying to do the same for a page_list which displays pages with a certain page type news entry, using pagination and just showing the title.
Here's how far I got:
<?php
$archive = BlockType::getByHandle("page_list");
$archive->controller->orderBy = "chrono_desc";
$archive->controller->ctID = "news";
$archive->controller->paginate = true;
$archive->render("view");
?>
But this doesn't seem to display any pages on the site. What have I done wrong?
It looks like you're supplying a page type handle instead of an page type ID to ctID.
You should be able to do something like so:
$sweetPageType = PageType::getByHandle('news');
if(is_object($sweetPageType)) { // let's be extra safe, eh?
$sweetPageTypeID = $sweetPageType->getPageTypeID();
}
And then, in your hardcoded block (you could test that you have an ID, although I think if it's null it would just have no effect):
$archive->controller->ctID = $sweetpageTypeID;
Dunno if you're using 5.6 or 5.7 but I believe it should be the same for both. Here's a relevant link to the c5 API:

i am new to typo3, so sorry, if this is too obvious.
I do not expect a complete solution, just the topics i would need to read about in order to solve the task would be perfectly enough. :)
Here the task:
I have a typo 3 installation with job advertisements in it. Now the company wants to publish that data in to a social website, which needs to have the job advertisement data put on a server in an xml feed, which looks like this: http://www.kununu.com/docs#jobfeed. Don't worry about what it says in there, it's just stuff like Job Title, Description etc.
Like i said, i am completely new to this and just have a vague idea.
My thoughts so far were something like this:
I probably need to write a plugin, which pulls the data out of typo3 by the push of a button
That Plugin need to establish a database connection to pull the data (probably it's mysql, but i am not entirely sure yet)
The data need to be formatted, which is either done by some string operations or by some kind of xml handler i assume.
Sidenote: I read something about TypoScript, but i'd like to avoid that, since it's a one time project and probably not worth the time to learn it. For me at least.
Thank you loads for your help in advance.
Cheers
you can handle that (basicly with typoscript). The other part has to come from PHP (F.e. extbase plugin) ... First part creates the XML output. Second part uses my Demo plugin to include data (Pages+special fields) from DB.
Within TS we are able to create a new typeNum. With that you can call your XML. ( ?type=1234 ) Within the BE you can select each page for output.
If you need help just contact me. I would send you the plugin.
sitemap = PAGE
sitemap {
typeNum = 1234
config {
# Set charset to utf-8
metaCharset = utf-8
# Deactivate TYPO3 Header Code
disableAllHeaderCode = 1
# Content-type settings
additionalHeaders = Content-type:text/xml;charset=utf-8
# Do not cache the page
no_cache = 1
# No xhtml cleaning trough TYPO3
xhtml_cleaning = 0
}
10 = USER_INT
10 {
userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
pluginName = Sitemap
extensionName = Srcxmlprovider
controller = Sitemap
vendorName = Sourcecrew
action = exportXml
switchableControllerActions {
Sitemap {
1 = exportXml
}
}
}
}
Ich habe die EXT noch schnell ins TER gepushed. Ein Tutorial liegt innerhalb.

I'm building a component for Joomla! 2.5 and inside I'm using JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_myapp&view=cpanel') to build all my links. This works, BUT it produces links which look like that:
/component/myapp/cpanel.html
In the menu however I have defined that index.php?option=com_myapp&view=cpanel has an alias of "myapp" so the link should rather be
/myapp/cpanel.html
The component is accessible via this path. If I do that, also all links generated inside will have the /myapp prefix. But for use in a template (special login link) and if the user stumbles upon /component/myapp.... I still want all links to go to /myapp prefix.
How can I force JRoute to use this menu item entry by itself?
Because I struggled a lot with this issue, here's a quick function I did that will try to find the link based on a menu item. It's mainly based on other answers.
This has only been tested on Joomla 3.5. JRequest is deprecated, so $app->input is used instead. This might be done better, but at least it works for the use I have of it. Hopes it can help other people too !
public static function getRouteMenu($default_url) {
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$jinput = $app->input;
$db->setQuery('SELECT `id` FROM #__menu WHERE `link` LIKE '. $db->Quote($default_url) .' AND `published` = 1 LIMIT 1' );
$itemId = $db->loadResult();
if($itemId) {
$route = $jinput->getString('return', JRoute::_('index.php?Itemid='.$itemId));
$route = str_replace('index.php/', '', $route);
} else {
$route = $jinput->getString('return', JRoute::_($default_url));
}
return $route;
}
The parameter requires a not rewrited link such as : index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10. Check your database if you need to be sure about how to build up this link.
//look if there is a menu item set for myapp. if yes, we use that one to redirect
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$defaultRedirect = 'index.php?option=com_myapp&view=cpanel';
$db->setQuery('SELECT `id` FROM #__menu WHERE `link` LIKE '. $db->Quote($defaultRedirect) .' LIMIT 1' );
$itemId = ($db->getErrorNum())? 0 : intval($db->loadResult());
if($itemId){
$rpath = JRequest::getString('return', base64_encode(JRoute::_('index.php?Itemid='.$itemId)));
}else{
$rpath = JRequest::getString('return', base64_encode(JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_myapp&view=cpanel')));
}
Beware: This is NOT language-safe. It takes the first menu entry found in the db. If you setup different menu aliases for different languages you have to check for the right language in the SQL query, too.
You ideally need to set a router as part of your component. The menu manager will override the component/myapp bit, but what comes after that will be determined by what is in the router.php file.
http://docs.joomla.org/Supporting_SEF_URLs_in_your_component
If, however, you simply need to create a link to a specific menu item, then you can always just add an Itemid to your parameter
JRoute::_('index.php?Itemid=12')
will point to any menu item with the id 12, so if that is your menu item ID for your com_myapp component, it will create the menu version of the link to that page.
edit:
You could technically assign the same component to two menu items, so I don't believe that handling the beginning of the URL is default behaviour when you link to a component outside of a menu item without giving the link an itemid. Joomla say (on creating a link for JRoute)...
"Notice that it is possible to leave out the parameters option and
Itemid. option defaults to the name of the component currently being
executed, and Itemid defaults to the current menu item's ID."
ie, call it from your homepage (or any page outside of one set to use your component) without an itemid or option and it is likely to think you are in com_content and with the homepage menu item.
If you want to link to the component outside of a menu item but without hard-coding an itemid, then one way would be to add a Menuitem field type to the config options of the module or template where you are linking from, and then add the itemid it generates to your link.
You could also use JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu() to find which menu item is linking to your component. Not had chance to test this - but using that could also mean that you can set an itemid parameter in your router.
I've recently started developing a portfolio website which I would like to link to my wordpress blog using simplepie. It's been quite a smooth process so far - loading names and descriptions of posts, and linking them to the full post was quite easy. However, I would like the option to render the posts in my own website as well. Getting the full content of a given post is simple, but what I would like to do is provide a list of recent posts which link to a php page on my portfolio website that takes a GET variable of some sort to identify the post, so that I can render the full content there.
That's where I've run into problems - there doesn't seem to be any way to look up a post according to a specific id or name or similar. Is there any way I can pull some unique identifier from a post object on one page, then pass the identifier to another page and look up the specific post there? If that's impossible, is there any way for me to simply pass the entire post object, or temporarily store it somewhere so it can be used by the other page?
Thank you for your time.
I stumbled across your question looking for something else about simplepie. But I do work with an identifier while using simplepie. So this seems to be the answer to your question:
My getFeedPosts-function in PHP looks like this:
public function getFeedPosts($numberPosts = null) {
$feed = new SimplePie(); // default options
$feed->set_feed_url('http://yourname.blogspot.com'); // Set the feed
$feed->enable_cache(true); /* Enable caching */
$feed->set_cache_duration(1800); /* seconds to cache the feed */
$feed->init(); // Run SimplePie.
$feed->handle_content_type();
$allFeeds = array();
$number = $numberPosts>0 ? $numberPosts : 0;
foreach ($feed->get_items(0, $number) as $item) {
$singleFeed = array(
'author'=>$item->get_author(),
'categories'=>$item->get_categories(),
'copyright'=>$item->get_copyright(),
'content'=>$item->get_content(),
'date'=>$item->get_date("d.m.Y H:i"),
'description'=>$item->get_description(),
'id'=>$item->get_id(),
'latitude'=>$item->get_latitude(),
'longitude'=>$item->get_longitude(),
'permalink'=>$item->get_permalink(),
'title'=>$item->get_title()
);
array_push($allFeeds, $singleFeed);
}
$feed = null;
return json_encode($allFeeds);
}
As you can see, I build a associative array and return it as JSON what makes it really easy using jQuery and ajax (in my case) on the client side.
The 'id' is a unique identifier of every post in my blog. So this is the key to identify the same post also in another function/on another page. You just have to iterate the posts and compare this id. As far as I can see, there is no get_item($ID)-function. There is an get_item($key)-function but it is also just taking out a specific post from the list of all posts by the array-position (which is nearly the same way I suggest).
I have installed typo3, templavoila and mapped a template.
Everything works fine, except my content elements. They just don't appear. They did before I installed templavoila and mapped a template.
Also, when using
10 = RECORDS
10 {
tables = tt_content
source = 9
}
it does not give me any output.
even nothing with:
10 = RECORDS
10 {
tables = tt_content
source = 9
conf.tt_content = TEXT
conf.tt_content.value = TEST
}
Does anyone have a clue as to what I might be doing wrong?
You must include the css styled content static template in your TS template.
In your ts page object you need to assign it to the templavoila object.
# Default PAGE object:
page = PAGE
page.typeNum = 0
page.10 = USER
page.10.userFunc = tx_templavoila_pi1->main_page
Probably the page, where tt_content is situated is not visible to regular visitor ?
In this case, following snippet will help.
10 = RECORDS
10.tables = tt_content
10.source = 9
10.dontCheckPid = 1
Finally we got it to work. Don't know what I did wrong, but I guess I learned not to do it again.
I'll put the "solution" here since someone might find it helpful and lose more than a day over this like I did.
Solution:
copy an existing content element in list mode, pasted it on a page via page mode
This was to test if that would do anything. Guess what, everything worked again. Not only the newly copied element but also ALL other test elements created via different ways on different pages and storage folders.
Thank you all for helping and thinking along.
Going a bit mad here... :)
I'm just trying to add CCK fields from a Content Profile content type into page-user.tpl.php (I'm creating a highly-themed user profile page).
There seem to be two methods, both of which have a unique disadvantage that I can't seem to overcome:
'$content profile' method.
$var = $content_profile->get_variables('profile');
print $var['field_last_name'][0]['safe'];
This is great, except I can't seem to pass the currently viewed user into $content_profile, and it therefore always shows the logged in user.
'$content profile load' method.
$account_id = arg(1);
$account = user_load($account_id);
$user_id = $account->uid;
$var = content_profile_load('profile', $user_id);
print $var->field_first_name[0]['value'];
Fine, but now I can't access the full rendered fields, only the plain values (i.e. if the field has paragraphs they won't show up).
How can I have both things at once? In other words how can I show fields relating to the currently viewed user that are also rendered (the 'safe' format in 1)?
I've Googled and Googled and I just end up going round in circles. :(
Cheers,
James
Your content profile load method seems to be the closest to what you want.
In your example:
$account_id = arg(1);
$account = user_load($account_id);
$user_id = $account->uid;
$var = content_profile_load('profile', $user_id);
print $var->field_first_name[0]['value'];
The $var is just a node object. You can get the "full rendered fields" in a number of ways (assuming you mean your field with a filter applied).
The most important thing to check is that you're field is actually configured properly.
Go to:
admin/content/node-type/[node-type]/fields/field_[field-name] to configure your field and make sure that under text processing that you've got "Filtered text" selected.
If that doesn't fix it,try applying this:
content_view_field(content_fields("field_last_name"), $var, FALSE, FALSE)
(more info on this here: http://www.trevorsimonton.com/blog/cck-field-render-node-formatter-format-output-print-echo )
in place of this:
print $var->field_first_name[0]['value'];
if none of that helps... try out some of the things i've got on my blog about this very problem:
http://www.trevorsimonton.com/blog/print-filtered-text-body-input-format-text-processing-node-template-field-php-drupal
When you're creating a user profile page there is a built in mechanism for it. just create a user template file, user_profile.tpl.php.
When you use the built in mechanism you automatically get access to the $account object of the user you are browsing, including all user profile cck fields. You have the fields you are looking for without having to programmatically load the user.
I have a field called profile_bio and am able to spit out any mark up that is in without ever having to ask for the $account.
<?php if ($account->content[Profile][profile_bio]['#value']) print "<h3>Bio</h3>".$account->content[Profile][profile_bio]['#value']; ?>
I've tried themeing content profiles by displaying profile node fields through the userpage before and it always seems a little "hacky" to me. What I've grown quite fond of is simply going to the content profile settings page for that node type and setting the display to "Display the full content". This is fine and dandy except for the stupid markup like the node type name that content profile injects.
a solution for that is to add a preprocess function for the content profile template. one that will unset the $title and remove the node-type name that appears on the profile normally.
function mymodule_preprocess_content_profile_display_view(&$variables) {
if ($variables['type'] == 'nodetypename') {
unset($variables['title']);
}
}
A function similar to this should do the trick. Now to theme user profiles you can simply theme your profile nodes as normal.
