Registering a non-extbase plugin currently needs two things: * Add the TCA necessary by calling <pre>\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPlugin</pre> * Add the typoscript by calling <pre>\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPItoST43</pre> *addPItoST43* adds typoscript in this form: <pre> plugin.tx_extensionkey_suffix = USER plugin.tx_extensionkey_suffix.userFunc = tx_extensionkey_suffix->main </pre> When you want to use namespaced code (and I say that's what we all want) you need to manually supply a classmap in this form: <pre> tx_extensionkey_suffix => '\Vendorname\Extensionname\Controller\Class' </pre> I propose a new method to register non-extbase plugins that enforces stronger defaults and reduces the clutter in the Typoscript Obejct Browser. h3. New method: <pre>static public function addPluginTyposcript($FQCN, $methodName)</pre> See the example: <pre> static public function addPluginTyposcript(\MyAgency\MyExtension\Cached\Plugin\MyPlugin::class, 'dispatch') static public function addPluginTyposcript(\MyAgency\MyExtension\UnCached\Plugin\\MyPlugin::class, 'dispatch') static public function addPluginTyposcript(\MyAgency\MyExtension\Cached\Menu\MyMenu::class, 'render') static public function addPluginTyposcript(\MyAgency\MyExtension\Cached\CType\MyCType::class, 'render') static public function addPluginTyposcript(\MyAgency\MyExtension\Cached\Header\MyHeader::class, 'render') </pre> As you can see the FQCN (Fully qualified class name) holds a strong default for registering a plugin in the frontend. Let's take the example above apart: * \MyAgency ** the Vendor name * \MyExtension ** Your extension key * \Cached ** defines whether a plugin runs cached or uncached (just for TS registering, you can re-define it via TS, possible values are: *** Cached *** Uncached * \Plugin ** Determines the type, possible values are: *** -Plugin- Plugin *** Menu *** CType *** Header * \MyPlugin ** Your class name We will drop support for "just include library", because the design is just broken. All TS get's added to page.1000, which is problematic if * you have multiple of these plugins installed * your root object simply has another name than page h3. Typoscript result I propose to add more "dots" to the TS. Possible result: <pre> plugin.MyAgency.MyExtension.Plugin.MyPlugin = USER plugin.MyAgency.MyExtension.Plugin.MyPlugin.userFunc = \MyAgency\MyExtension\Cached\Plugin\MyPlugin->dispatch plugin.MyAgency.MyExtension.Menu.MyMenu = USER plugin.MyAgency.MyExtension.Menu.MyMenu.userFunc = \MyAgency\MyExtension\Cached\Menu\MyMenu->render </pre> This will clean up the Typoscript Object browser.
