Inserting YAG plugins via TypoScript
Let's say you have a home page within your website on which you want to show some of your photos within a javascript slider. Of course you are using your favorite CMS TYPO3 and YAG gallery as photo gallery extension.
For the example below, Nivo Slider from yag_themepack_jquery extension is used. If you want to use this slider, make sure to have this extension installed on your system!
Make sure you have included [yag] Yet Another Gallery (yag) AND [yag] Themepack jQuery (yag_themepack_jquery) static template on the page you want to insert the content element!
So here is how you can include any YAG plugin on your website via TypoScript:
###########################
# Including Nivo slider
###########################
plugin.tx_yag.HeaderSlider {
albumHeaderSlider = USER
albumHeaderSlider {
userFunc = tx_extbase_core_bootstrap->run
pluginName = Pi1
extensionName = Yag
# You can use any controller here (Album, ItemList, Gallery)
controller = Album
# Take a look inside your controllers for what actions are available
action = showSingle
switchableControllerActions {
Album {
1 = showSingle
}
}
settings =< plugin.tx_yag.settings
# Set UID of whatever album you want to include
# For selecting a gallery (together with controller/action pair above) use settings.context.selectedGalleryUid
# For selecting a single image (together with controller/action pair above) use settings.context.selectedItemUid
settings.context.selectedAlbumUid = 139
persistence =< plugin.tx_yag.persistence
view =< plugin.tx_yag.view
}
}
# Make sure to have your yag_themepack_jquery extension installed and running!
plugin.tx_yag.HeaderSlider.albumHeaderSlider.settings.theme = nivoSlider
# You can also use any lib-Path for including yag plugins on a TemplaVoila-driven site!
page.10.marks.IMGHEADER < plugin.tx_yag.HeaderSlider.albumHeaderSlider
Just to make this blogpost complete, I have to admit, that Daniel came up with this solution and I wrote it down as he was to busy to do it himself... so the credits for this one go to Daniel!
