Adding of Generic Markers to tt_news - Database related - mysql

Question

I am trying to write a custom output to extend the tt_news-Extension. I have suceeded so far as I have successfully written:
My own extension (via the help of extension builder)
Found a method to output some of my data via GENERIC Markers and TypoScript
What I want to do is:
Read Data from a MySQL Table (from my extensions preferably)
Compare data with a tt_news Column (Column contains VARCHAR "1,2,3,4")
Look for a certain UID (WHERE tt_news.txy7... CONTAINS uid )
Only output the objects found in the list.
Now I know I should probably build a relational database in the end, containing uid, fahrzeug.uid, tt_news.uid , but I'm really trying to figure out a way to output stuff first.
I think I have a basic thinking mistake in there, but I really need to take a break, since im working nearly 6 hours on this now.
Maybe someone could provide me with some directions?
# Output via Generic Markers
temp.fahrzeuge = CONTENT
temp.fahrzeuge {
table = tx_y7fahrzeugdatenbank_domain_model_fahrzeug
wrap = <div class="tx_y7fahrzeuge_ausgabe">|</div>
select {
selectFields = uid,name,beschreibung
# where = tt_news.tx_y7fahrzeugdatenbank_participate CONTAINS uid
}
renderObj = COA
renderObj {
10 = TEXT
10.wrap = <span class="fzname">|</span>
10.field = name
20 = TEXT
20.wrap = <span class="fzdesc">|</span>
20.field = beschreibung
}
}
plugin.tt_news.genericmarkers {
fzparticipate = COA
fzparticipate {
10 = TEXT
10.value = <h2>Fahrzeuge</h2>
20 = CONTENT
20 < temp.fahrzeuge.renderObj
}
#currentnews = plugin.tt_news.currentUid
}

Answer 1

1) add the whole template to your COA not only the renderObj:
fzparticipate = COA
fzparticipate {
10 = TEXT
10.value = <h2>Fahrzeuge</h2>
20 < temp.fahrzeuge
}
2) make sure you have a pid set for the objects you are selecting and that you in some way set the pidInList option within the select. The result will be empty if you don't!:
select {
#set your pid here
pidInList = 35
# selected fields
selectFields=uid
where = 1=1
}
3) You can add where-clauses in 2 ways: Where & andWhere
3.1) andWhere has a cObject which you can set
table = tx_myTable_mapping
select {
#Do not forget the pid!
pidInList = {$plugin.myPlugin.pid}
#did you know that you can use distinct here?
selectFields=DISTINCT(name)
#you can use a COA here as well, for more complex clauses
andWhere.cObject = TEXT
andWhere.cObject {
#This 3 lines come in handy to prevent SQLInjections
#by fully quoting the GET/POST variable
data = GP:myPostVariable
#tell the system for which table it should do the quoting
fullQuoteStr = tx_myTable_mapping
wrap = myTablefield=|
}
}
3.2) where supports data and wrap options
table = tx_myTable_mapping
select {
#you can do joins as well:
join = fe_users on tx_myTable_mapping.fe_user = fe_users.uid
#again with the pageId
pidInList = {$plugin.myPlugin.pid}
selectFields=tx_myTable_mapping.name as MyLabel
#you can set the where in a static way like you did
#or you use the data and wrap options
where.data = TSFE:fe_user|user|uid
where.wrap = (fe_users.uid = | )
}
