[TYPO3-mvc] Find object properties, only using TypoScript

[Albrecht Köhnlein]

I proudly present:




# FIND ARTICLE's PROPERTIES
# article is given as GP parameter

lib.tx_referencecontents_articleinfo = COA
lib.tx_referencecontents_articleinfo {

	10 = CONTENT
	10 {
		table = tx_referencecontents_domain_model_article
		select {
			uidInList.data = GP:article
			leftjoin = tx_referencecontents_domain_model_contactperson ON 
(tx_referencecontents_domain_model_contactperson.uid = 
tx_referencecontents_domain_model_article.contactperson)
		}
		renderObj = TEXT
		renderObj {
			field = headline
			ifEmpty = ERROR_EMPTY_FIELD
		}
	}

	20 = TEXT
	20 {
		value = ERROR_EMPTY_RESULT
		
		if.isFalse.numRows {
			table = tx_referencecontents_domain_model_article
			select {
				uidInList.data = GP:article
				leftjoin = tx_referencecontents_domain_model_contactperson ON 
(tx_referencecontents_domain_model_contactperson.uid = 
tx_referencecontents_domain_model_article.contactperson)
			}
		}
	}
}

/*

# example usage

anyMarker < lib.tx_referencecontents_articleinfo
anyMarker {
	10.renderObj.field = email
	10.renderObj.ifEmpty = fallback at example.com
	20.value = fallback at example.com
}
