[TYPO3-dev] eID tutorial needed

[Ries van Twisk]

> Marcus,

eID is fairly simple,
it just provides a generalized method to access a class/function  
within your extension.
'default'eID doesn't give you anything, no TCA, no TSFE, no database  
no nothing.

So depending on what you are planning to do you need to think of  
setting up
a service using the type parameter or using eID.

General rule:

When you need any form of suggestion alà google suggest then you need  
eID.
Anything more complex then that AND MUCH less frequent called it's  
better to setup
the service using a type parameter.

however, eID is as simple as :

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['eID_include']['rvt_service'] =  
'EXT:rvt_cocktails/class.tx_rvt_service_eID.php';

In that file you find a class and you can initiate it using:

$serv = t3lib_div::makeInstance('tx_rvt_service_eID');
$serv->init();
$serv->main();


You need to use t3lib_div::_GET(...) to check the GET variables that  
get send to your class...

eID tries to be very fast by calling your file as eurly as possible in  
the TYPO3 loading chain...
