[TYPO3-mvc] Using extbase in cron scripts / scheduler tasks

[Axel Böswetter]

Hi Steffen,

unfortunately I have to instantiate the TSFE for frontend-url generation 
too. By now I don't need fluid templates in my scheduler, so I can skip the 
tearUp and simply run the getter for the extbase configuration. But nice 
to see, that we used nearly the same approach.

I created a initTSFE method for such matters. Here it is:

function initTSFE($pageUid = 1, $overrule = FALSE) {
        // declare
    $temp_TSFEclassName = t3lib_div::makeInstanceClassName('tslib_fe');

        // begin
    if (!is_object($GLOBALS['TT']) || $overrule === TRUE) {
        $GLOBALS['TT'] = new t3lib_timeTrack;
        $GLOBALS['TT']->start();
    }

    if ((!is_object($GLOBALS['TSFE']) || $overrule === TRUE) && is_int($pageUid)) 
{
            // builds TSFE object
        $GLOBALS['TSFE'] = new $temp_TSFEclassName($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS'], 
$pageUid, $type=0, $no_cache=0, $cHash='', $jumpurl='', $MP='', $RDCT='');

            // builds rootline
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->sys_page = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_pageSelect');
        $rootLine = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->sys_page->getRootLine($pageUid);

            // init template
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_tsparser_ext');
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->tt_track = 0;// Do not log time-performance 
information
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->init();

            // this generates the constants/config + hierarchy info for the 
template.
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->runThroughTemplates($rootLine, $start_template_uid=0);
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->generateConfig();
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->loaded=1;

            // get config array and other init from pagegen
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->getConfigArray();
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->linkVars = ''.$GLOBALS['TSFE']->config['config']['linkVars'];

        if ($GLOBALS['TSFE']->config['config']['simulateStaticDocuments_pEnc_onlyP']) 
{
            foreach (t3lib_div::trimExplode(',',$GLOBALS['TSFE']->config['config']['simulateStaticDocuments_pEnc_onlyP'],1) 
as $temp_p) {
                $GLOBALS['TSFE']->pEncAllowedParamNames[$temp_p]=1;
            }
        }
            // builds a cObj
        $GLOBALS['TSFE']->newCObj();
    }
}

Maybe you need it sometimes ;-) e.g. hooks, crons, ...
