[TYPO3] GMENU and wrapping text

[Peter Klein]

Hi Matthew. Im not aware of any other ways to split GIFBUILDER objects, but 
if you use a splitchar, you can use this little codesnippet to remove the 
splitchar, before displaying, in case it's a regular text link..

-- cut --
10 = TEXT
10.cObject = TEXT
10.cObject.value = This is on the left of the split | This is on the right 
of the split
10.cObject.split {
    # Split the string at the "|" char
    token = |
    cObjNum = 1
    1.current = 1
    # Trim away any leading/trailing spaces
    1.trim = 1
    # Wrap each part with a space at the end.
    1.noTrimWrap = || |
  }
  # Trim away the final trailing spaces
10.trim = 1
-- cut --

Note this is just a testsnippet, you'll have to implement it into your TS 
setup..

Thank you. This works.

Rather than manually specifying the break point, is there a way to say
if the characters run out of the box, back up to the first space and
break there?

Hi Matthew. Try searching for "gmenu splitchar" on Google (Searching the

mailarchive directly, usually doesn't give as good results as Google)
That should give you some clues, or look at this example..

Hello,

I have created a vertical GMENU. It works as expected, though I can't
figure out how to add a condition where if the text is longer than the
fixed width image, it wraps to the next line and grows the vertical
height of the image to allow for the wrapping.

Here's a visual of the graphical menu buttons:

This is fine:
------------------
| Menu Text      |
------------------

Here's where I am having a problem:
------------------
| Some Menu Text Goes Here |
------------------

This is what I would like to be able to do:
------------------
| Some Menu Text |
| Goes Here      |
------------------

Here's the typoscript I am working with:

lib.menu_left = HMENU
lib.menu_left.entryLevel = 1
lib.menu_left.1 = GMENU
lib.menu_left.1 {
  special = list
  special.value.field = uid
  NO {
    wrap = <div>|</div>
    backColor =  {$sectioncolors.color3}
    XY = 163, 34
    10 = TEXT
    10.niceText=1
    10.text.field = title
    10.fontFile = fileadmin/fonts/MAIAN.TTF
    10.fontSize=14
    10.fontColor=  {$sectioncolors.color5}
    10.align = right
    10.offset=-10,24
  }
  RO < .NO
  RO=1
  RO.10.fontColor =  {$sectioncolors.color5}
  ACT < .RO
  ACT=1
}


Thank you for any help.

Matt
