[TYPO3-english] Access TypoScript Settings in Extbase ViewHelper

[Daniel Schmidt]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to access the typoscript settings in my custom viewhelper 
class. I think I'm doing it the right way but something still goes 
wrong as the retrieved array is empty.

I did it this way:

Configuration/TypoScript/setup.txt :
plugin.tx_extension {
	settings {
		itemsPerPage = 20
		
	}
}

Classes/ViewHelpers/TheViewHelper.php :
$settings = $this->templateVariableContainer->get('settings');

As I said, $settings is empty.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Daniel Schmidt
