[TYPO3] realurl, typolinks and parameters (generally)

[Paul Vetch]

Hi Peter,

Many thanks for that.  I've got a working solution from your suggestion,
albeit I encountered another prob on the way which I had to hack around:


Because I need myparam to be appended to all the links on a page, I have
myparam listed in config.linkVars.  It seems that config.linkVars
overrides absolutely anything done to a typolink: so, although your
method worked beautifully with myparam removed from config.linkVars,
when it's there, nothing happens at all (the split just doesn't do
anything, so I assume linkVars is processed after ts).

So my dreadful hacked solution for now - unless you can see something
really wrong with it - is to apply exactly your method, but to get the
(realurl) path as an environmental variable and bypass typolink
altogether:

config.linkVars = myparam
...
10 = TEXT
#10.value = http://mypath/to/myparam.html
10.data = getenv : REQUEST_URI
10.split {
    token = /
    cObjNum = 1 |*||*| 2
    1.current = 1
    1.wrap = |/
  }
10.wrap = Stripped URL:&nbsp;|<br>

This works, but it seems pretty dirty to me and I may be missing a very
obvious and nasty drawback... 

Best wishes

Paul

Hi Paul. How about something like this?

-- cut --
  10 = TEXT
  #10.value = http://mypath/to/myparam.html
  10.typolink.parameter.field = uid
  10.typolink.returnLast = url
  10.split {
    token = /
    cObjNum = 1 |*||*| 2
    1.current = 1
    1.wrap = |/
  }
  10.wrap = Stripped URL:&nbsp;|<br>
-- cut --
