[TYPO3-dev] Rendering plugin output

[J. Lingott]

  Hello list!

I am working on a plugin which should include the rendered output of 
another plugin. I got the tt_content record, but am wondering what would 
be the best way to render the external plugin's output. It should be a 
fully rendered output just as if it was included on any page. As the 
external plugin to be included is stored in a system folder, I thought 
of just using a separate template for that folder and directly render 
its output. But this would have the disadvantage of not having separated 
contents, which would be preferable concerning the scope of the plugin.

So using tslib_content and cObj should be the best way i guess, but I 
don't really have a clue how to get it done at the moment (probably I am 
just missing the forest through the trees). If anyone can push me in the 
right direction, you would help a lot!

Additionally, I asked myself how internal list_types (integers) are 
tracked back to the specific plugin. Although this might be solved or 
even not needed with the right content rendering anyways. This would be 
related to fetching the external plugin's config.

Thanks for reading!
