Using special characters as CASE keys in typoscript - typo3

I'm trying to send a mail via the powermail extension to different receivers, depending on the value a user has selected in a form dropdown. This practice of dynamic receivers is described in the powermail documentation. Basically:
receivers1.email = CASE
receivers1.email {
key.data = GP:tx_powermail_pi1|field|receiver
1 = TEXT
1.value = receivera#domain.org
default = TEXT
default.value = receiverb#domain.org
}
Now I'm facing the following problem: my values for "receiver" are not numeric (as in the example), but text values from a dropdown. Some of them contain spaces, some of them contain umlauts (öäüß). If I try to add …
Not wörking = TEXT
Not wörking.value = anotheremail#nowhere.org
Typo3 will complain and not update anything. (Bad property!
You must enter a property with characters a-z, A-Z and 0-9, no spaces!Nothing was updated!)
I tried simply 'escaping' the forbidden characters with a backslash, not working. Had an idea of converting the key.data via stdWrap rawUrlEncode, but did not work either. Google came up with this solution, but I don't understand what's going on and could not use it successfully.
How can I get around this? Thanks a lot for any kind of hint!

I pretty like your rawUrlEncode solution. Can you provide us your solution of it here? According to this online converter the result should be something like:
key.data = GP:tx_powermail_pi1|field|receiver
key.stdWrap.rawUrlEncode = 1
Not%20w%C3%B6rking = TEXT
Not%20w%C3%B6rking.value = anotheremail#nowhere.org
Maybe for each CASE some signs like "%" are not allowed. In that case you maybe refer to the "replacement" function. https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/8.7/Functions/Replacement/Index.html#replacement
key.data = GP:tx_powermail_pi1|field|receiver
key.stdWrap.replacement {
10 {
search.char = 32
replace = _
}
// Add umlauts and other signs!
}
Not_wörking = TEXT
Not_wörking.value = anotheremail#nowhere.org

TYPO3/Typoscript : trim value failed

This is my typoscript code :
lib.test.renderObj = COA
lib.test.renderObj.10 = TEXT
lib.test.renderObj.10.stdWrap.field = header
lib.test.renderObj.10.stdWrap.case = lower
lib.test.renderObj.10.stdWrap.trim = 1
lib.test.renderObj.10.stdWrap.wrap = <div class="element">|</div>
The header field is well received, letters have been lowercased and the field is well wrapped by a element. The only problem is that i can't make the TRIM properties effective. I also tried to use the search/replace properties -> no success.
Any clue ? :)
You can search and replace since 4.6. The documentation you can find here: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/6.2/Functions/Replacement/
lib.test.renderObj.10.stdWrap.replacement {
10 {
search = # #
replace =
useRegExp = 1
}
}
Don't know if the replace is really working, can't test it.

Typoscript: how do I add a parameter to all links in the RTE?

I want to add a parameter to all links entered in the RTE by the user.
My initial idea was to do this:
lib.parseFunc_RTE.tags.link {
typolink.parameter.append = TEXT
typolink.parameter.append.value = ?flavor=lemon
}
So for example:
http://domain.com/mypage.php
becomes
http://domain.com/mypage.php?flavor=lemon
which sounds great -- as long as the link does not already have a query string!
In that case, I obviously end up with two question marks in the URL
So for example:
http://domain.com/prefs.php?id=1234&unit=moon&qty=300
becomes
http://domain.com/prefs.php?id=1234&unit=moon&qty=300?flavor=lemon
Is there any way to add my parameter with the correct syntax, depending on whether the URL already has a query string or not? Thanks!
That would be the solution:
lib.parseFunc_RTE.tags.link {
typolink.additionalParams = &flavor=lemon
}
Note that it has to start with an &, typo3 then generates a valid link. The parameter in the link also will be parsed with realURL if configured accordingly.
Edit: The above solution only works for internal links as described in the documentation https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Functions/Typolink/Index.html
The only solution that works for all links that I see is to use a userFunc
lib.parseFunc_RTE.tags.link {
typolink.userFunc = user_addAdditionalParams
}
Then you need to create a php script and include in your TS with:
includeLibs.rteScript = path/to/yourScript.php
Keep in mind that includeLibs is outdated, so if you are using TYPO3 8.x (and probably 7.3+) you will need to create a custom extension with just a few files
<?php
function user_addAdditionalParams($finalTagParts) {
// modify the url in $finalTagParts['url']
// $finalTagParts['TYPE'] is an indication of link-kind: mailto, url, file, page, you can use it to check if you need to append the new params
switch ($finalTagParts['TYPE']) {
case 'url':
case 'file':
$parts = explode('#', $finalTagParts['url']);
$finalTagParts['url'] = $parts[0]
. (strpos($parts[0], '?') === false ? '?' : '&')
. 'newParam=test&newParam=test2'
. ($parts[1] ? '#' . $parts[1] : '');
break;
}
return '<a href="' . $finalTagParts['url'] . '"' .
$finalTagParts['targetParams'] .
$finalTagParts['aTagParams'] . '>'
}
PS: i have not tested the actual php code, so it can have some errors. If you have troubles, try debugging the $finalTagParts variable
Test whether the "?" character is already in the URL and append either "?" or "&", then append your key-value pair. There's a CASE object available in the TypoScript Reference, with an example you can modify for your purpose.
For anyone interested, here's a solution that worked for me using the replacement function of Typoscript. Hope this helps.
lib.parseFunc_RTE.tags.link {
# Start by "replacing" the whole URL by itself + our string
# For example: http://domain.com/?id=100 becomes http://domain.com/?id=100?flavor=lemon
# For example: http://domain.com/index.html becomes http://domain.com/index.html?flavor=lemon
typolink.parameter.stdWrap.replacement.10 {
#this matches the whole URL
search = #^(.*)$#i
# this replaces it with itself (${1}) + our string
replace =${1}?flavor=lemon
# in this case we want to use regular expressions
useRegExp = 1
}
# After the first replacement is done, we simply replace
# the first '?' by '?' and all others by '&'
# the use of Option Split allow this
typolink.parameter.stdWrap.replacement.20 {
search = ?
replace = ? || & || &
useOptionSplitReplace = 1
}
}

Copy range with conditional formatting

I have a range with Conditional Formatting in an existing Excel file. I used EPPlus to copy that range to a new sheet, then I found the conditional formatting was missing.
Is there any way to copy range with conditional formatting using EPPlus?
I found a solution for this. I did not test it on all formattingRuleTypes. (Only needed 2 of them for the moment)
In my application i have 1 template row for each sheet.
var formatList = fromSheet.ConditionalFormatting.ToList();
foreach (var cf in formatList)
{
// sourceRow is the row containing the formatting
if (cf.Address.Start.Row == sourceRow )
{
IExcelConditionalFormattingRule rule = null;
switch (cf.Type)
{
case OfficeOpenXml.ConditionalFormatting.eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType.GreaterThan:
rule = dest.ConditionalFormatting.AddGreaterThan();
break;
case OfficeOpenXml.ConditionalFormatting.eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType.GreaterThanOrEqual:
rule = dest.ConditionalFormatting.AddGreaterThanOrEqual();
break;
case OfficeOpenXml.ConditionalFormatting.eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType.LessThan:
rule = dest.ConditionalFormatting.AddLessThan();
break;
case OfficeOpenXml.ConditionalFormatting.eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType.LessThanOrEqual:
rule = dest.ConditionalFormatting.AddLessThanOrEqual();
break;
default:
break;
}
rule.Style.Fill = cf.Style.Fill;
rule.Style.Border = cf.Style.Border;
rule.Style.Font = cf.Style.Font;
rule.Style.NumberFormat = cf.Style.NumberFormat;
// I have no clue why the Formula property is not included in the IExcelConditionalFormattingRule interface. So I needed to cast this.
((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)rule).Formula = ((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)cf).Formula;
((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)rule).Formula2 = ((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)cf).Formula2;
// Calculate the new address for the formatting. This will be different in your case
var adr = new ExcelAddress( dest.Start.Row , cf.Address.Start.Column -1 , dest.Start.Row, cf.Address.Start.Column -1 + cf.Address.Columns -1 );
rule.Address = adr;
I have no clue why the Formula property is not included in the IExcelConditionalFormattingRule interface. So I needed to cast this.
To add to the answer of Luc Wuyts (I can't comment yet due to limited reputation):
// I have no clue why the Formula property is not included in the IExcelConditionalFormattingRule interface. So I needed to cast this.
((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)rule).Formula = ((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)cf).Formula;
((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)rule).Formula2 = ((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)cf).Formula2;
Some conditional formatting do not have the Formula-options. This cast will work, but applying the Formula properties to conditional formatting options which do not require it will have unforeseen results. Eg. the ConditionalFormatting.AddContainsBlanks() does not require Formula properties, and adding them might mess up the conditional formatting. A better approach is to check the type, and add the formula's only when required.
I had a similar problem, the only way I found to inspect, change or delete a conditional format of a cell or range is looking at the openxml specs. The conditional format is stored in the worksheet, with the range under the attribute sqref. So you can edit that range or add a new.
For example:
DIM p As New ExcelPackage(New FileInfo(ExlReportPath), True)
Dim ws As ExcelWorksheet = p.Workbook.Worksheets(ExlSheetName)
'--Find Node "worksheet" (1 in my case) , Find all Child Nodes "conditionalFormatting" (5 to 11 in my test)
Print.Debug(ws.WorksheetXml.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(5).Name)
'--You get: conditionalFormatting
'--Now you can inspect the range:
Print.Debug(ws.WorksheetXml.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(5).Attributes("sqref").Value)
'--Will give you the cell address that this formatting applies to example: "D11:D15"
'--you can change delete or add new range if you want, below I add F11:F15
ws.WorksheetXml.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(5).Attributes("sqref").Value="D11:D15 F11:F15"
'--You can inspect the rule itself in the InnerXml also...
If you need more details of the markup, google Wouter van Vugt, "Open XML The markup explained". I found it useful and the full document was online (free).

Typoscript: Display register value as text

I'm using the extension seo_dynamic_tag, which is a fantastic plugin for TYPO3 SEO purposes.
It uses registers to store the generated meta description and keywords. Later on in the script, the page metadata is filled in from these registers:
page {
meta {
description {
field >
data = register:description
}
keywords {
field >
data = register:keywordss
}
}
1000 < temp.seo
}
So far it works like charm.
But in addition I'd like to display a TEXT object on the page with the meta description on the bottom. The text should read the meta description and some other stuff. That's where I need your help.
I tried to do the "magic" like this:
temp.description = COA
temp.description {
10 = TEXT
10.value = Meta description: {register:description}
stdWrap.insertData = 1
}
lib.footer < temp.description
This simply does not work. If I want to display something else, for example {page:title} or {date:y-m-d}, data insertion works. For register:xxx it doesn't.
I already spent lots of hours to google out my desired solution, but no success :(
Do you have any idea what I'm missing here?
I'm using TYPO3 4.5.3 (I know I should update ;)).
Many thanks in advance for your help! :)
Your stdWrap.insertData = 1 is applied to your COA-object, and not to your TEXT-object. You can instead set 10.insertData = 1 or just write the following:
10 = TEXT
10.data = register:description

Typo3 - Custom email newsletters with direct_mail

Im building a newsletter and the start is like this:
DEAR ###USER_gender### ###USER_first_name### ###USER_last_name###
which outpouts
DEAR ###USER_gender### JOHN DOE
and I was hoping it would replace the gender mark with "Miss" and "Sir", depending on the value. How could I do this?
Extra fields have to be added to the field list (see docu). But I'm not sure whether this automatically works with non-string fields. Maybe using a hook is your solution or using another extension which adds a new field to tt_address.
Another solution is to nest marker:
###GENDER_###USER_gender######
and then warp you content in a new template object:
10 = TEMPLATE
10 {
template < yourAlreadyProcessedContent
marks {
GENDER_m = TEXT
GENDER_m.value = Sir
}
}
It's a bit unusual, but sometimes it's very useful.
(Personally I use it to replace version numbers in tt_content records.)
Edit:
Example for Dbugger:
Download the Introduction Package and install it. After that add to the Welcome page a new template record with the following steup:
temp.mainTemplate = TEMPLATE
temp.mainTemplate {
template = TEXT
template.value = (
Foo
###CONTENT###
###CONTENT###
Bar
)
subparts {
CONTENT < styles.content.get
}
}
page = PAGE
page {
typeNum = 0
10 = TEMPLATE
10 {
template < temp.mainTemplate
marks {
TEST = TEXT
TEST.value = ok
}
}
Now include CSS Styled Contnet and enable the following options:
clear constants, clear setup, rootlevel
The output should look like that:
Foo
Congratulations ...
Bar
If you add ###TEST### to the the tt_content record on the welcome page it will be replaced with ok.
This should work with direct mail, too.
Edit:
I'm sorry, this only works which normal extension which are use in the rendering process.
a little bit late, but here's the best solution for the salutation in direct_mail & tt_address .. works perfect for me. The personalized marker is just ###USER_salutation###,
