typoscript variable in plugin settings? - typo3

Question

I am using a custom plugin and I need to add the page title as one of the plugin's settings variables:
plugin.tx_fsearch {
settings {
resultsPath = search-results/brand/{field:title}/make/{field:title}
resultsPath.insertData = 1
}
}
However this is outputting the word 'Array' instead of the path I need.
Does anyone know how I might be able to make this work?

Answer 1

There is no stdWrap available for settings in extbase extensions, no matter if using TEXT cObj or insertData!
As a workaround, you can fix that yourself by doing something like EXT:news does here https://github.com/georgringer/news/blob/master/Classes/Controller/NewsController.php#L495
public function injectConfigurationManager(
\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Configuration\ConfigurationManagerInterface $configurationManager
) {
$this->configurationManager = $configurationManager;
$typoScriptService = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Service\TypoScriptService::class);
$typoScriptArray = $typoScriptService->convertPlainArrayToTypoScriptArray($originalSettings);
$stdWrapProperties = GeneralUtility::trimExplode(',', $originalSettings['useStdWrap'], true);
foreach ($stdWrapProperties as $key) {
if (is_array($typoScriptArray[$key . '.'])) {
$originalSettings[$key] = $this->configurationManager->getContentObject()->stdWrap(
$originalSettings[$key],
$typoScriptArray[$key . '.']
);
}
}
}
$this->settings = $originalSettings;
}
Or you skip the TS part and call the stdWrap directly in your controller.

Try TEXT object
plugin.tx_fsearch {
settings {
resultsPath = TEXT
resultsPath.value = search-results/brand/{field.title}/make/{field.title}
}
}
