[Neos] A question to the neos core team about TypoScriptView and rendering a page standalone

[Simon Schaufelberger (Schaufi)]

Hi Christian,
that example helped a lot and i now rendered my first page successfully 
exept the menus. When i remove then, it works but when i add them in the 
template, i get an exeption.

in particular: the breadrumb works!

whats breaking:
<ts:render path="parts.subMenu" />
and
<ts:render path="parts.mainMenu" />

something is missing here:

#1: Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 3 passed to 
TYPO3\Neos\TypoScript\MenuImplementation_Original::findParentNodeInBreadcrumbPathByLevel() 
must implement interface TYPO3\TYPO3CR\Domain\Model\NodeInterface, null 
given, called in 
[...]\Data\Temporary\Development\Cache\Code\Flow_Object_Classes\TYPO3_Neos_TypoScript_MenuImplementation.php 
on line 198 and defined in 
[...]\Data\Temporary\Development\Cache\Code\Flow_Object_Classes\TYPO3_Neos_TypoScript_MenuImplementation.php 
line 260

but i dont know how to fix it.

well, for my newsletter i dont need any menus but just to let you know 
that something is broken. here is my code: just put that in a backend 
module controller action:

$view = $this->objectManager->get('\TYPO3\Neos\View\TypoScriptView'); /* 
@var $view \TYPO3\Neos\View\TypoScriptView */
$currentNode = 
$this->nodeService->getNodeByContextNodePath('/sites/neosdemotypo3org/features');

$typoScriptPath = 'root';
$view->setTypoScriptPath($typoScriptPath);
$view->assign('value', $currentNode);

$closestFolderNode = $currentNode;
$currentSiteNode = 
$this->nodeService->getNodeByContextNodePath('/sites/neosdemotypo3org');

$typoScriptRuntime = 
$this->typoScriptService->createRuntime($currentSiteNode, 
$closestFolderNode, $this->controllerContext);
$typoScriptRuntime->pushContextArray(array(
	'node' => $currentNode,
	'request' => $this->controllerContext->getRequest(),
	'site' => $currentSiteNode
));
$output = $typoScriptRuntime->render($view->getTypoScriptPath());
$typoScriptRuntime->popContext();

echo $output;
exit;

my first idea was the following code like the viewhelper:

$typoScriptPath = 'root';

$typoScriptView = new \TYPO3\TypoScript\View\TypoScriptView();
$typoScriptView->setControllerContext($this->controllerContext);
$typoScriptView->setTypoScriptPath($typoScriptPath);

$output = $typoScriptView->render();
echo $output;
exit;

but that gives me:

#1207253462: "resource://Mypackage/Private/TypoScripts/" is no directory.


my next step would be to create a special newsletter template, make that 
visually available in the backend for selection and then use that 
template to render that page. I guess i will need more help then.
