Bug #101170
Updated by Helmut Hummel 11 months ago
h2. Prerequisite
Given the following TypoScript:
<pre><code>
page = PAGE
page.10 = EXTBASEPLUGIN
page.10 {
extensionName = MyExt
pluginName = MyPlugin
}
</code></pre>
Given the default action referenced plugin is cached
h2. Expectation
The request in the plugin (and the ConfigurationManager has the currentContentObject attribute set.
h2. Actual behaviour
The currentContentObject is not set
h3. Conceptual considerations
During frontend rendering, all rendering is initiated with an instance of ContentObjectRenderer.
Since most rendering code depends on the current request, the request has always to be passed to
the ContentObjectRenderer, which can then pass it to rendering code it calls.
At the same time some rendering code depends also depends on the data,
that initiated the rendering (aka, the data that is contained in ContentObjectRenderer objects).
I see two options of how to pass the request *and* the ContentObjectRenderer object (cObj) to the rendering code:
# Extend the API to make both accessible directly
# Wrap the initiating cObj (the cObj that initiates rendering) into the request it holds as attribute
I suggested the latter in #100623, but what we merged in the end is incomplete and therefore somewhat broken (see above)
