[Typo3] TV: separate print and text-only views

[Dmitry Dulepov]

Hi!

Well, you can try to add a new value to the TemplaVoila's TCA and see
what happens. Assuming you make a new extension, you can add to its tca.php:
$TCA['tx_templavoila_tmplobj']['columns']['rendertype']['config']['items'][]
= array('LLL:EXT:myext/locallang_db.php:new.rendertype.label',
'accessibility');

Then hacking of pi1 is required:
=================
// Initialize rendering type:
if ($this->conf['childTemplate'])	{
	$renderType = $this->conf['childTemplate'];
} else {	// Default:
	$renderType = t3lib_div::GPvar('print') ? 'print' : '';
}
=================
to
=================
// Initialize rendering type:
if ($this->conf['childTemplate'])	{
	$renderType = $this->conf['childTemplate'];
} else {	// Default:
	foreach
($TCA['tx_templavoila_tmplobj']['columns']['rendertype']['config']['items']
as $rtype) {
		if ($rtype[1] != '' && t3lib_div::GPvar($rtype[1]) != '') {
			$renderType = $rtype[1];
			break;
		}
	}
}
=================
This code will enable ANY render type defined in TCA (i.e. created by
user extension). As you see, it can get rendering type from
confgiuration as well, but this is not what you need actually...

This is what I could figure out quickly. Hope, this helps.

Dmitry.
