[TYPO3-mvc] How to access TS config options and some other questions

[Sebastian KurfŸürst]

Hey Susanne :-)

Thanks for checking out Extbase and Fluid!

Currently I'd do this either in the Repository through a custom query or 
in the Controller.

First: The limit:

You have your extension configuration available in the controller as 
$this->settings.
We are planning to hand this configuration to the View, so it will be 
available as {settings} inside the template. However, this is not yet 
implemented, but could you open a Ticket in Fluid for this? (This will 
definitely be implemented until 4.3)

Second: Overriding one of the templates:
We'll introduce some TS setting where you can specify the path to a 
certain template - however this needs still to be implemented as well ;)

> 3.) Is there a method to add custom stylesheets or do I use
> $GLOBALS['TSFE'] like before?
Look at $this->response->addAdditionalHeaderData() in the contreoller :)


Greets and have fun with Extbase,
Sebastian
