[TYPO3-english] Upgrade to 4.5 LTS: external script error makeInstance('t3lib_DB')

[Markus Klein]

Hi!

I suggest to convert the scripts to EID scripts.
This will take care of the basic bootstrap setup and you've the DB available.

Ext_localconf.php:
<?php
if (!defined ('TYPO3_MODE')) die ('Access denied.');

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['eID_include']['myextkeyword'] = 'EXT:' . $_EXTKEY . '/thescript.php';

?>

Thescript.php:
<?php

// Exit, if script is called directly (must be included via eID in index_ts.php)
if (!defined('TYPO3_MODE') || TYPO3_MODE !== 'FE') {
	die('Could not access this script directly!');
}

tslib_eidtools::connectDB();
// now we have the db

?>


Take a look at all the methods of tslib_eidtools.
(Since TYPO3 CMS 6.0 this class is named TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Utility\EidUtility)

Kind regards
Markus
