Neos: Routings for Inspector Editors - neoscms

Question

I try to create an own inspector editor which should be able to load data via a controller. For this I render an LINK-tag – like Neos does – in the header:
<link rel="vendor-package-backend-content" href="http://typo3-neos-1.1.x.dev/vendor.package/backend/content/load />
A controller Packages/Application/Vendor.Package/Classes/Vendor/Package/Controller/Backend/ContentController.php is created.
This is the file Configuration/Routes.yaml:
-
name: 'TYPO3 Neos'
uriPattern: '<TYPO3NeosSubroutes>'
subRoutes:
'TYPO3NeosSubroutes':
package: 'TYPO3.Neos'
variables:
'defaultUriSuffix': '.html'
-
name: 'Vendor Package
uriPattern: '<VendorPackageSubroutes>'
subRoutes:
'VendorPackageSubroutes':
package: 'Vendor.Package'
variables:
'defaultUriSuffix': '.html'
Here the file Packages/Application/Vendor.Package/Configuration/Routes.yaml
-
name: 'Backend'
uriPattern: 'vendor.package/<BackendSubRoutes>'
defaults:
'#package': 'Vendor.Package'
'#action': 'index'
'#format': 'html'
subRoutes:
'BackendSubRoutes':
package: 'Vendor.Package'
suffix: 'Backend'
And finaly the file Packages/Application/Vendor.Package/Configuration/Routes.Backend.yaml
-
name: 'Backend Content Controller'
uriPattern: 'backend/content(/{#action})'
defaults:
'#package': 'Vendor.Package'
'#controller': 'Backend\Content'
appendExceedingArguments: TRUE
If the URL is now called: http://domain.com/vendor.package/backend/content/index an "Page not found" error is thrown. I have to deactivate the TYPO3.Flow.error.exceptionHandler.renderingGroups.notFoundExceptions to see more details:
Sorry, the page you requested was not found. Technical details:
Could not find a preset for content dimension "language" through the
given URI segment "vendor.package". (reference code:
2014121115590523bc78)
But I don't find out how the path segment for /neos is defined for dimensions, there it works…
How I must configure this?

Answer 1

Try putting your vendor routes definition above neos in main Routs.yaml.
Check your Data/Logs/System_Development.log if it matches what it should.
Hm, and remove this part for your Vendor.Package:
variables:
'defaultUriSuffix': '.html'

Answer 2

Thanks tarkin. The Development-Log was a good hint :) I think I've got it and I will share this. There are several configurations to set:
1) The LINK-tag rendered through the TS2 page – like Neos does – in the header with login required.
<f:security.ifAccess resource="Vendor_Package_BackendAccess">
<link rel="vendor-package-backend-content" href="http://typo3-neos-1.1.x.dev/vendor.package/backend/content/load />
</f:security.ifAccess>
2) A controller Packages/Application/Vendor.Package/Classes/Vendor/Package/Controller/Backend/ContentController.php.
3) Settings in the file Configuration/Routes.yaml:
-
name: 'Vendor Package
uriPattern: '<VendorPackageSubroutes>'
subRoutes:
'VendorPackageSubroutes':
package: 'Vendor.Package'
variables:
'defaultUriSuffix': '.html'
4) The file Packages/Application/Vendor.Package/Configuration/Routes.yaml
-
name: 'Backend'
uriPattern: 'vendor.package/<BackendSubRoutes>'
defaults:
'#package': 'Vendor.Package'
'#action': 'index'
'#format': 'html'
subRoutes:
'BackendSubRoutes':
package: 'Vendor.Package'
suffix: 'Backend'
5) The file Packages/Application/Vendor.Package/Configuration/Routes.Backend.yaml
-
name: 'Backend Content Controller'
uriPattern: 'backend/content(/{#action})'
defaults:
'#package': 'Vendor.Package'
'#controller': 'Backend\Content'
appendExceedingArguments: TRUE
6) The file Packages/Application/Vendor.Package/Configuration/Policy.yaml.
resources:
methods:
Vendor_Package_BackendAccess: 'method(Vendor\Package\Controller\Backend\ContentController->.*Action())'
acls:
'TYPO3.Neos:Editor':
methods:
Vendor_Package_BackendAccess: GRANT
7) And at least Packages/Application/Vendor.Package/Configuration/Settings.yaml
Flow:
security:
authentication:
providers:
Typo3BackendProvider:
requestPatterns:
controllerObjectName: 'TYPO3\Neos\Controller\.*|TYPO3\Neos\Service\.*|TYPO3\Media\Controller\.*|Vendor\Package\Controller\Backend\.*'
8) There is one more thing for Packages/Application/Vendor.Package/Configuration/Settings.yaml, else you get an error cause of missing dimension mapping.
TYPO3CR:
contentDimensions:
'language':
presets:
'vendor.packages':
label: ''
values: ['mul_ZZ']
uriSegment: 'vendor.packages'
This will be the first part of the answer :)
But there are some questions left:
1) This will be at least a package. So I wounder why I have to set stuff in Configuration/Routes.yaml, which will not be part of the installation process (?).
2) In this example it's required to override the path Flow.security.authentication.providers.Typo3BackendProvider.requestPatterns.controllerObjectName. I don't think, that this is usefull and that there must be another way.
