Extension Development, add static extension templates

Static extension templates

You can add external TypoScript templates to your extension. An external TypoScript template could, for example, add default CSS for your extension.

For example:

1) setup.txt:

TS TypoScript:

 plugin.tx_myext_pi1._CSS_DEFAULT_STYLE (
 
 	body {
 		margin-left: 0px;
 		margin-top: 0px;
 		margin-right: 0px;
 		margin-bottom: 0px;
 		background-image: url(typo3conf/ext/myext/res/fullwall.jpg); 
 		background-repeat: repeat-x
 	}
 )

setup.txt is the static template filename and can be found in the folder pi1/static/css of your extension.

2) ext_tables.php:

PHP script:

 t3lib_extMgm::addStaticFile($_EXTKEY, 'pi1/static/css', 'myext default CSS');

in ext_tables.php of your extension calls t3lib_extMgm::addStaticFile($extKey, $path, $title). more

3) "include static template (from extensions)" selector:

Description

With the "include static template (from extensions)" selector in the template record you can add the static template to your typoscript template.
