TYPO3 Core

Hi Philipp

It's absolutely OK that distributions are installed only once but during this installation, we need to execute our update script (which is in fact the class.ext_update.php) to get a fully working installation. In our case, we execute the setup tasks of the Arcavias core library.

Other extensions could benefit from this as well. Sphinx is one that comes into my mind as it also needs to install and build additional tools before it can be used.

Best regards,

Norbert

Hi Susanne

Thank you for your hint!
Do you have further information (examples or code) how I can listen to this signal? I haven't found much on the web regarding this, especially I don't know what I have to use as first parameter for the connect() function call.

Thank you very much and best regards,

Norbert

Unfortunatly not completely. I need the name of the class which is emitting the afterExtensionConfigurationWrite signal and which I have to connect to. In the example used on the blog post from the first link:

$this->signalSlotDispatcher->connect(  
     'Tx_Extension_Controller_NameController', 'beforeRenderView', 'Tx_OtherExtension_Controller_NameController', 'addOtherInformation', FALSE  
);

What do I have to replace 'Tx_Extension_Controller_NameController' with? Is it 'TYPO3\CMS\Extensionmanager\Controller\ConfigurationController'. Where do I have to place the code in order to be executed during installation of the distribution? In the ext_localconf.php file?

Is this then the correct code?

$dispatcher = t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_Extbase_Object_Manager')->get('TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\SignalSlot\Dispatcher');
$dispatcher->connect(  
    'TYPO3\CMS\Extensionmanager\Controller\ConfigurationController', 'afterExtensionConfigurationWrite',
    'Tx_Arcavias_Myclass', 'myUpdateMethod', FALSE  
);

Documentation around is topic is a little bit meager ;-)

Thanks

Norbert

This looks correct. maybe one of the existing distributions uses such things. ;)

Did you find a working solution?
