[TYPO3-mvc] viewhelper for first char register

[Claus Due]

Hi Johannes,

Perhaps you can use this:

<?php

/**
 * Outputs a letter header if the passed letter is different from the last
 *
 * @package TYPO3
 * @subpackage Fluid
 * @version
 */
class Tx_Personnel_ViewHelpers_StartLetterViewHelper extends Tx_Fluid_Core_ViewHelper_AbstractViewHelper {
	
	/**
	 * Render a select
	 * @param string $string
	 * @return string
	 */
	public function render($string) {
		$letter = strtoupper($string{0});
		if ($this->templateVariableContainer->exists('initialLetter')) {
			$existing = $this->templateVariableContainer->get('initialLetter');
			if ($letter != $existing) {
				$this->templateVariableContainer->remove('initialLetter');
				$this->templateVariableContainer->add('initialLetter', $letter);
				return '<h4>' . $letter . '</h4>';
			}
		} else {
			$this->templateVariableContainer->add('initialLetter', $letter);
			return '<h4>' . $letter . '</h4>';
		}
	}
}
	

?>

You can (if you don't need the {initialLetter} Fluid variable) change to use $this->viewHelperVariableContainer->add() … etc. Just remeber that the ViewHelperVariableContainer requires a class name as first argument, the following arguments are just the same as for TemplateVariableContainer.

Cheers,
Claus
