[TYPO3-english] Assign dynamic value to a TypoScript int data type

Hmm, I don't know this extension... but let's see.

>         $html.=$cObj->cObjGetSingle('USER_INT',$conf);

Well, if it comes from Dmitry's book it's probably a good suggestion :-) 
but I wouldn't do it that way (there are generally several ways of doing 
things). My impression is that your generated TS configuration is 
incomplete.

Why not do something like that in your plugin's TS

plugin.tx_myplugin_pi1 {
	graph < plugin.tx_pbimagegraph_pi1
	graph {
		...
	}
}

Then in your code:

$html.=$cObj->cObjGetSingle($this->conf['graph'], $this->conf['graph.']);

By copying the complete tx_pbimagegraph_pi1 object you are sure not to 
forget anything.

> But unfortunately I got this error:

The origin of the error is some object was not properly instantiated so 
that it's _setParent() method cannot be called. But that's probably 
interal to pbimagegraph and I can't help you there.
