[Typo3-dev] Wrapping a link in an extension

[Jan Steenbuck]

Friends, romans, countrymen,

I need a hint. I'm stuck.

We are trying to write our first extension, and we so far failed to get a 
link therein to work.

Our PHP-Knowledge is still quite basic, but improving, and we have one of 
our programmers at our side (he knows PHP, but doesn't know Typo3 yet...). 
We have read, we have collected, we have digested, and here's what we have 
accomplished so far.


Inserting Headline, Content and Image work just fine, but now we need to 
put a link on that image (just like in the general content type 'image').

The marker ###Links### is correctly filled with the content from §link, but 
no other parameters are passed along (no 'http://'  or 'mailto:' etc).

Does anyone have a clue that could help us along? Here's the code:

<<<<<<<      PHP:      >>>>>>>


class tx_newsboxentest_pi1 extends tslib_pibase {
	var $prefixId = "tx_newsboxentest_pi1";		// Same as class name
	var $scriptRelPath = "pi1/class.tx_newsboxentest_pi1.php";	// Path to this
script relative to the extension dir.
	var $extKey = "newsboxentest";	// The extension key.

	var $conf;
    var $templateCode;

	function main($content,$conf)	{
		$this->conf=$conf;
		$this->pi_setPiVarDefaults();
		$this->pi_loadLL();

		// get the template
        $this->templateCode =
$this->cObj->fileResource($this->conf["templateFile"]);

	// get the image
        $img = $this->conf["image."];
  		$img["file"] = "uploads/tx_newsboxentest/" .
$this->cObj->data['tx_newsboxentest_image_tb'];

	// get the link
	$link = $this->cObj->data['tx_newsboxentest_link_tb'];

	// template is read.
		// get the specified layout out of the template
		$layout = $this->cObj->data['tx_newsboxentest'];
		switch ($layout) {
			default:
				$templateMarker = "###TEMPLATE_0###";
		}
        $template = $this->cObj->getSubpart($this->templateCode,
$templateMarker);

		$subpartArray = array();
		$subpartArray["###SUBHEADER###"]     = $this->cObj->data['subheader'];
        $subpartArray["###HEADLINE###"]   =
$this->cObj->parseFunc($this->cObj->data['tx_newsboxentest_headline_tb'],
$this->conf["parser."]);
        $subpartArray["###CONTENT###"] =
$this->cObj->parseFunc($this->cObj->data['tx_newsboxentest_content_tb'],
$this->conf["parser."]);
		$subpartArray["###MORE###"] = $this->cObj->IMAGE($img);
		$subpartArray["###LINKS###"] = $this->cObj->typoLink($link,$this->conf);
        $content = $this->cObj->substituteMarkerArrayCached($template,
$subpartArray, array(), array());

		return $this->pi_wrapInBaseClass($content);
	}
}

<<<<<<< ...and in the template: >>>>>>>

<tr>
    <td width="152" height="21" align="left" valign="top"
background="/fileadmin/images/box_unten.gif"><a
href="###LINKS###">###MORE###"</a></td>

Thanks a million in advance!
