I know I can configure tt_news to automatically set author and email to a given value, like this:
TCAdefaults.tt_news.author = full name
TCAdefaults.tt_news.author_email = name#domain.tld
But could I retrieve the name an email from the info of the currently logged BE user instead?
To meake it possible to fill the values on every change (if empty), you need to register a hook somewhere ie, in your own extension
typo3conf/ext/yourext/hooks/class.tx_ttnews_hooks.php
class tx_ttnews_hooks {
// hook for prefilling TCA values
function getSingleField_preProcess($table, $field, &$row, $altName, $palette, $extra, $pal, $pObj) {
switch($field) {
case 'author_email':
if($row[$field] == '') {
$row[$field] = $GLOBALS['BE_USER']->user['email'];
}
break;
case 'author':
if($row[$field] == '') {
$row[$field] = $GLOBALS['BE_USER']->user['realName'];
}
break;
}
}
}
and then add this into typo3conf/ext/yourext/ext_localconf.php:
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_tceforms.php']['getSingleFieldClass'][]
= 'EXT:yourext/hooks/class.tx_ttnews_hooks.php:tx_ttnews_hooks';
There is an extension that does what you want. I haven't used it myself, but the description sounds pretty promising.
As another solution, you may write a little bit of php code that adds a dynamic user ts. I only found an example in German, but maybe that's helpful anyway.

I've created a small application form for my website. Everything works fine.
In the plugin settings there is a field called "Bodytext for Email to Receiver". This is the the mail I get, everytime somebody fills out an application form. It looks like this right now:
New application arrived!
{powermail_all}
Is it possible to get the Page UID from the application form into a variable to put it in there?
The only solutions I've found need TypoScript. Is there any other way?
The solution with typoscript should be (according to manual):
use in template:
{f:cObject(typoscriptObjectPath:'lib.pageuid')}
define the typoscript:
lib.pageuid = TEXT
lib.pageuid.data = page:uid
I'm not sure about an additional variable for {powermail_all} as I'm not familiar with the extension.
If I understand the manual correctly this might be possible with :
plugin.tx_powermail {
settings {
setup {
manipulateVariablesInPowermailAllMarker {
// possible sections (define for each, where you need it):
// confirmationPage, submitPage, receiverMail, senderMail, optinMail
submitPage {
pageUid = TEXT
pageUid.data = page:uid
}
senderMail {
pageUid = TEXT
pageUid.data = page:uid
}
}
}
}
}
I registered $GLOBALS['TL_HOOKS']['newsListFetchItems'][] hook in my news extended extension for sorting with my custom field (say 'rank'). But the pages which contain news filtering is not working . I am using the contao Version 4.5.8 . How can I solve the issue.
$t = \NewsModel::getTable();
$arrOptions = array();
switch ($objModule->news_sorting)
{
case 'sort_rankid_asc':
$arrOptions['order'] = "$t.rankid = 0, $t.rankid, $t.date DESC";
break;
case 'sort_random':
$arrOptions['order'] = "$t.date DESC";
break;
default:
$arrOptions['order'] = "$t.date DESC";
}
return \NewsModel::findPublishedByPids($newsArchives, $blnFeatured, $limit, $offset, $arrOptions);
News filtering with category is not working after I added the above code.How Can I fix the issue
The codefog/contao-news_categories extension in version 3.x also uses the newsListFetchItems hook to filter the news list items (see here). The hook will only work for one extension - which ever one returns something other than false first.
If you need both your custom sorting and filtering by a category, then you will need to implement the news category filtering yourself and you have to make sure that your hook is executed first.
My goal is to have the Formhandler log UID inside the Admin emails subject.
Inside of my email template I'm using
###value_tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid### to insert a unique id.
I need to get this value into my Admin emails subject. E.g.
"Order ID: ###value_tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid###"
I've read various forum posts, each do something different and I ended up with this snippet:
plugin.Tx_Formhandler.settings.predef.form {
# TEMPLATE MARKERS
name = Form1
templateFile = typo3template/typo3/ext/formhandler/form1/default.html
markers {
name = TEXT
name.value = Form1
}
finishers {
1.config {
class = Tx_Formhandler_Finisher_Mail
subject = TEXT
subject.value = ###GP:tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid###
}
}
[...]
which just yields "{$formhandler.admin.subject}" as the subject.
I also tried other variations like
###LLL:tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid### or tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid
The backend field "subject" is empty.
Pasting the HTML placeholder into the backend field didn't work either.
I can't get this to work.
In what way can you access the id you want to insert?
From the notation GP:tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid I would assume a GET/POST value.
For using this value in typoscript you need to do it like this (or similar: dataWrap):
subject = TEXT
subject.data = GP:tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid
subject.noTrimWrap = |Order ID: ||
The notation LLL:tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid would be a language specific text (you would also insert by .data) but it would be a static text for each language.
After a lot of trial and error, I got it working.
First of all, I forgot to specify that I want to configure the admin mail.
Adding admin { fixed the problem of getting only {$formhandler.admin.subject}.
The UID value itself can be accessed with GP:formhandler|tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid
I combined that with the noTrimWrap as suggested by #bernd-wilke-πφ
The final snippet looks like this:
finishers {
1 {
class = Tx_Formhandler_Finisher_Mail
config {
admin {
subject = TEXT
subject.data = GP:formhandler|tx_formhandler_log_inserted_uid
subject.noTrimWrap = |Order number: ||
}
}
}
}
I am using TYPO3 6.2.11, tt_address 2.3.5 and direct_mail 4.0.1 and sent me some test newsletters from a internal TYPO3-Page. Everything works fine.
Now, I want to send some data fields from my tt_address-table like name or title for example.
What's the name of the tt_address-MARKER, I'll use at my page content?
I also add the follwing to [basic.addRecipFields] at the direct_mail-Extension:
name,first_name,last_name,email,description,title
But nothing happens. I can't use tt_address-fields at my direct_mail newsletter. I hope someone can help me, thanks.
The other opportunity is to use fe_user-data for my newsletter (felogin). How can I use felogin-fields like passwordor username at my template?
You need to prefix the fields with USER_ and wrap the marker in ###. So e.g. if you'd like to use the e-mail address, you write ###USER_email###. You can find all possibilities in the Direct Mail documentation.
A note on sending the password: This would be a huge security risk but it's not possible anyway because passwords of fe_users are stored at least hashed (and nowadays also encrypted) in the database. But you can use the ###SYS_AUTHCODE### marker to generate an authentication code you can use in an "edit profile" extension to let the user update his subscription.
If you need fields from other sources or data you're calculating dynamically, you can also create an own extension and implement the Direct Mail mailMarkersHook.
ext_localconf.php:
// Direct Mail personalization hook
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['ext/direct_mail']['res/scripts/class.dmailer.php']['mailMarkersHook']['userunilunewsletterrendering'] =
'My\Extension\Hook\DirectMail->mailMarkersHook';
EXT:extension/Classes/Hook/DirectMail.php:
<?php
namespace My\Extension\Hook;
class DirectMail {
public function mailMarkersHook($params, \DirectMailTeam\DirectMail\Dmailer $dmailer) {
$params['markers']['###USER_SALUTATION###'] = $this->getPersonalizedSalutation($params['row']);
return $params;
}
/**
* #param $row
* #return string
*/
protected function getPersonalizedSalutation($row) {
$personalizedSalutation = 'Dear Sir or Madam';
if (!empty($row['last_name']) && !empty($row['gender'])) {
if ($row['gender'] === 'm') {
$personalizedSalutation = 'Dear Mr. ' . $row['last_name'];
} elseif ($row['gender'] === 'f') {
$personalizedSalutation = 'Dear Ms. ' . $row['last_name'];
}
}
return $personalizedSalutation;
}
}
I'm trying to use Yahoo Local Search in a Kynetx Application.
ruleset avogadro {
meta {
name "yahoo-local-ruleset"
description "use results from Yahoo local search"
author "randall bohn"
key yahoo_local "get-your-own-key"
}
dispatch { domain "example.com"}
global {
datasource local:XML <- "http://local.yahooapis.com/LocalSearchService/V3/localsearch";
}
rule add_list {
select when pageview ".*" setting ()
pre {
ds = datasource:local("?appid=#{keys:yahoo_local()}&query=pizza&zip=#{zip}&results=5");
rs = ds.pick("$..Result");
}
append("body","<ul id='my_list'></ul>");
always {
set ent:pizza rs;
}
}
rule add_results {
select when pageview ".*" setting ()
foreach ent:pizza setting pizza
pre {
title = pizza.pick("$..Title");
}
append("#my_list", "<li>#{title}</li>");
}
}
The list I wind up with is
. [object Object]
and 'title' has
{'$t' => 'Pizza Shop 1'}
I can't figure out how to get just the title. It looks like the 'text content' from the original XML file turns into {'$t' => 'text content'} and the '$t' give problems to pick().
When XML datasources and datasets get converted into JSON, the text value within an XML node gets assigned to $t. You can pick the text of the title by changing your pick statement in the pre block to
title = pizza.pick("$..Title.$t");
Try that and see if that solves your problem.
Side notes on things not related to your question to consider:
1) Thank you for sharing the entire ruleset, what problem you were seeing and what you expected. Made answering your question much easier.
2) The ruleset identifier should not be changed from what AppBuilder or the command-line gem generate for you. Your identifier that is currently
ruleset avogadro {
should look something more like
ruleset a60x304 {
3) You don't need the
setting ()
in the select statement unless you have a capture group in your regular expression
Turns out that pick("$..Title.$t") does work. It looks funny but it works. Less funny than a clown hat I guess.
name = pizza.pick("$..Title.$t");
city = pizza.pick("$..City.$t");
phone = pizza.pick("$..Phone.$t");
list_item = "<li>#{name}/#{city} #{phone}</li>"
Wish I had some pizza right now!
