[Typo3-dev] How to access TypoScript from BE

[Thorsten Kahler]

Hi Elmar,

you just need a few lines of PHP to access FE-TypoScript. I recently used  
something like this from within a BE module:


require_once (PATH_t3lib.'class.t3lib_page.php');
require_once (PATH_t3lib.'class.t3lib_tstemplate.php');
class myBEmoduleextends t3lib_SCbase {
	var $sysPage = '';		// page selector obj
	var $tmpl = '';		// TS template obj
// ...
	function init() {
// ...
			// initialize the page selector
		$this->sys_page = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_pageSelect');
		$this->sys_page->init(true);
			// initialize the TS template
		$this->tmpl = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_TStemplate');
		$this->tmpl->init();
		$rootline = $this->sys_page->getRootLine( $this->id );
		$this->tmpl->start($rootline);
// ...
	}
// ...
}

There's also a method t3lib_BEfunc::BEgetRootLine(), but that wouldn't  
return the rootline as it's used in the FE.

Please report if you're facing problems with this approach, so I could  
advance it within my ext too.

Regards
Thorsten
