[TYPO3-mvc] t3lib_extMgm::insertModuleFunction supported?

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi,

Here is some work progress to integrate an Extbase module within a standard module's function menu. This certainly works too for Extbase within Extbase modules but I have no sample code of pure 
Extbase (ie non mvc_extjs-based BE module) at the moment.

First of all, I have to go back to revision 1479 of Extbase/Classes/Dispatcher.php otherwise I get same error as the one I reported on 21/10/2009 in thread "injectReflectionService() recent changes?":

#1: PHP Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 1 passed to Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Mapper_DataMapper::injectReflectionService() must be an instance of Tx_Extbase_Reflection_Service, null given, called in 
/path/to/extbase/Classes/Dispatcher.php on line 246 and defined in /path/to/extbase/Classes/Persistence/Mapper/DataMapper.php line 115

I certainly made something wrong here but this time I did not have to use another DataMapper, just plain Extbase :-)

This is typically done by:

$ cd /path/to/extbase
$ svn -r 1479 update Classes/Dispatcher.php

Then apply patch Extbase_Classes_Utility_Extension.diff to get new method Tx_Extbase_Utility_Extension::registerModuleFunction.

You'll need a new base class for your own module function classes: copy FunctionActionController.php to Extbase/Classes/MVC/Controller/

That's all (at least for the moment) with Extbase modifications. No Core modification seems to be needed (which is great).

Now in your own extension, create a Controller for your ModuleFunction

class Tx_YourExt_Controller_TestController extends Tx_Extbase_MVC_Controller_FunctionActionController {

	public function defaultAction() {
		// Do your stuff here
	}
}

And register your module function within ext_tables.php (I will extend Web > Info function menu here):

Tx_Extbase_Utility_Extension::registerModuleFunction(
	$_EXTKEY,
	'web_info',	// Insert module function into function menu of Web > Info
	array(
		'Test' => 'default',
	),
	array(
		'title'      => 'My Extbase Function',	// LLL:EXT: syntax supported
		'menuKey'    => 'function',
		'workspaces' => '',
	)
);

As said, this is ongoing work. Comments and suggestions on this would be great.
