[TYPO3-core] RFC #13634: ext_typoscript_setup.txt cannot be overriden by static files on the same level

[Fabrizio Branca]

Hi,

there were some +1 and a v2 of this patch but nothing happend. I still 
like this option and would like to have it in 4.5. So here's the next try:

I created a new patch that applies on the current trunk (the old one 
didn't) based on Bennis v2 with some additional comments.

Short summary what is happening here:

Currently t3lib_TStemplate::includeStaticTypoScriptSources() simply 
calls t3lib_TStemplate::addExtensionStatics() after including the static 
files and addExtensionStatics() checks (based on static_file_mode = 0 or 
1) if it should process the extension statics or not (in case of 
static_file_mode == 2 nothing will be included).

I see the need that it should be possible to include those extension 
statics _before_ include the static files so I added a new option 
static_file_mode == 3 "Include before static and static from extensions 
if Root-flag is set" allowing to do this. What I do is to move the check 
from within addExtensionStatics() to includeStaticTypoScriptSources() 
and depending on the value of static_file_mode I call 
addExtensionStatics() before or after including the static files (or newer).

This allows you to have your typoscript in templates coming from 
extensions while overwriting the values in the template record. (Also 
see original post below...)

Any feedback welcome.

Bye,

Fabrizio.
