= 'CType'
Methods
configurePlugin()
Add auto-generated TypoScript to configure the Extbase Dispatcher.
public
static configurePlugin(string $extensionName, string $pluginName, array<string|int, mixed> $controllerActions[, array<string|int, mixed> $nonCacheableControllerActions = [] ][, string|null $pluginType = null ]) : void
When adding a frontend plugin you will have to add both an entry to the TCA definition of tt_content table AND to the TypoScript template which must initiate the rendering. Including the plugin code after "defaultContentRendering" adds the necessary TypoScript for calling the appropriate controller and action of your plugin. FOR USE IN ext_localconf.php FILES Usage: 2
Parameters
- $extensionName : string
-
The extension name (in UpperCamelCase) or the extension key (in lower_underscore)
- $pluginName : string
-
must be a unique id for your plugin in UpperCamelCase (the string length of the extension key added to the length of the plugin name should be less than 32!)
- $controllerActions : array<string|int, mixed>
-
is an array of allowed combinations of controller and action stored in an array (controller name as key and a comma separated list of action names as value, the first controller and its first action is chosen as default)
- $nonCacheableControllerActions : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
is an optional array of controller name and action names which should not be cached (array as defined in $controllerActions)
- $pluginType : string|null = null
-
must be omitted or set to \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\ExtensionUtility::PLUGIN_TYPE_CONTENT_ELEMENT - actually unused in the method, for b/w compatibility only
