This page is document in progress. TypoScript
The plugin TLO
This is used for extensions in TYPO3 set up as frontend plugins. Typically you can set configuration properties of the plugin here. Say you have an extension with the key tx_myext and it has a frontend plugin named tx_myext_pi1 then you would find the TypoScript configuration at the position plugin.tx_myext_pi1 in the object tree!
Most plugins are USER or USER_INT objects which means that they have at least 1 or 2 reserved properties. Furthermore this table outlines some other default properties. Generally system properties are prefixed with an underscore:
| Property: | Data type: | Description: | Default:
|
| userFunc | Property setting up the USER / USER_INT object of the plugin | ||
| includeLibs | Property setting up the USER / USER_INT object of the plugin | ||
| _CSS_DEFAULT_STYLE | string | Use this to have some default CSS styles inserted in the header section of the document. Most likely this will provide a default acceptable display from the plugin, but should ideally be cleared and moved to an external stylesheet.
This value is for all plugins read by the pagegen script when making the header of the document. | |
| _DEFAULT_PI_VARS.[piVar-key] | string | Allows you to set default values of the piVars array which most plugins are using (and should use) for data exchange with themselves.
This works only if the plugin calls $this->pi_setPiVarDefaults(). | |
| _LOCAL_LANG.[lang-key].[label-key] | string | Can be used to override the default locallang labels for the plugin. |
