[TYPO3-dev] Fake / simulate frontend environment ( TSFE )

[Mads Brunn]

Elmar,

I'm using the following to create a fake FE in the backend.

As can be seen from the example it can e.g. be used to generate 
typolinks. Works pretty well.

./mads


if (!defined('PATH_tslib')) {
   if (@is_dir(PATH_site.TYPO3_mainDir.'sysext/cms/tslib/')) {
     define('PATH_tslib', PATH_site.TYPO3_mainDir.'sysext/cms/tslib/');
   } elseif (@is_dir(PATH_site.'tslib/')) {
     define('PATH_tslib', PATH_site.'tslib/');
   }
}

require_once(PATH_t3lib.'class.t3lib_timetrack.php');
					
$GLOBALS['TT'] = new t3lib_timeTrack;
$GLOBALS['TT']->start();
$GLOBALS['TT']->push('','Script start');
					
require_once (PATH_tslib."class.tslib_fe.php");
require_once (PATH_tslib."class.tslib_content.php");
require_once (PATH_t3lib."class.t3lib_page.php");
require_once (PATH_t3lib."class.t3lib_userauth.php");
require_once (PATH_tslib."class.tslib_feuserauth.php");
require_once (PATH_t3lib."class.t3lib_tstemplate.php");	
require_once(PATH_t3lib.'class.t3lib_cs.php');				
$temp_TSFEclassName = t3lib_div::makeInstanceClassName('tslib_fe');	 
$GLOBALS['TSFE'] = new $temp_TSFEclassName(
			$TYPO3_CONF_VARS,
			7,
			0,
			0,
			t3lib_div::_GP('cHash'),
			t3lib_div::_GP('jumpurl'),
			t3lib_div::_GP('MP'),
			t3lib_div::_GP('RDCT')
		   );
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->connectToDB();
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->initFEuser();

$GLOBALS['TSFE']->determineId();					
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->getCompressedTCarray();					
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->initTemplate();
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->getConfigArray();

										
					
$cObj = t3lib_div::makeInstance('tslib_cObj');

$content = $cObj->typolink('',
				array(
					'parameter' => 108,
					'returnLast' => 'url',
				)								);
