[Typo3-dev] Ext with multiple plugins, Q1: one config location for multiple plugins?

[Rainer Kuhn]

Hi Daniel, Wolfgang, Stefan,

thanks a lot for all your hints. With the ideas gained from your posts I did 
some tries and got a good solution for now: I put all the config values for 
all 3 plugins of the extension in the file ext_typoscript_constants.txt, so 
admin users can access this data through the constant editor.

In ext_typoscript_setup.txt I assigned the values originated from 
ext_typoscript_constants.txt for each plugin like

plugin.tx_ptconfvisitors_pi1 {
	value1={$plugin.tx_ptconfvisitors.value1}
	value1={$plugin.tx_ptconfvisitors.value2}
         ...
}

where the values are relevant. This works fine now and all settings are 
bundled at one location.  :)

I have only one question left: The new doc "TYPO3 Core APIs" says on page 5 
the use of ext_typoscript_constants.txt and ext_typoscript_setup.txt is 
"deprecated (use static template files instead...)".

As far as I found out while doing experiments with kickstarter the 
"static"-directories are generated within each plugin-subdirectory (pi1, 
pi2, pi3). If this is right this means similar values would be located in 
different files (one for each plugin). Is there a possibility to use one 
static template file (accesible through constant editor) for all 3 plugins 
within my extension?


Thanks again,
Rainer
