Description

Hi!

I would really love it if stdWrap could handle input arrays too, not just strings. I posted about this on the TYPO3-english list earlier today and got a tip about this project. Here's my post:

Is it really impossible to somehow use array data from GET/POST in TypoScript? I can't seem to find any way to get it to work.

Here's the issue:

URL is: index.php?id=1&test[]=x&test[]=y&test[]=z

How do I access the values of the "test" array without having to do "data = GP : test | 0", "data = GP : test | 1", etc. It won't work if I don't know the length of the array.

I imagine two solutions, but neither exist today. The first one (below) is the easiest, but both require tslib_cobj->getText() to return arrays.

SOLUTION 1:

(This doesn't work because "data = GP : test" will return an empty string, since it sees the array.)

page.10 = TEXT
page.10.data = GP : test
#Implode the array so I can explode it with "split" 
page.10.implode = ,
page.10.split {
  token = ,
  cObjNum = 1
  1 = TEXT
  1.current = 1
  1.wrap = <p>|</p>
}

SOLUTION 2:

#Using a new cObject which iterates arrays
page.10 = ITERATE
page.10.data = GP : test
page.10.1 = TEXT
page.10.1.current = 1
page.10.1.wrap = <p>|</p>

The third solution would be to run everything though a custom USER function, but it's much less flexible.

No implode necessary, because we can directly split the array using new parameters called "mode" and maybe even "arrayKey" and "arrayValue", while still staying backwards compatible and keeping the optionSplit features.
So I would prefer this one:

page.10 = TEXT
page.10.data = GP : test
page.10.split {
  mode = array
  cObjNum = 1|*||*|2
  1 = COA
  1 {
    wrap = <p class="first">|</p>
    10 = TEXT
    10.arrayKey = 1
    20 = TEXT
    20.arrayValue = 1
  }
  2 < .1
  2 {
    wrap = <p class="second">|</p>
  }
}

So do you think you can implement that and send a patch?
Anybody else interested in this task?

Have a nice weekend

The issue is very old, does this issue exists in newer versions of TYPO3 CMS (4.5 or 6.1)?

As far as I know it still exists.

I never got that patch sorted out. As far as I can remember, I got stuck in a deliberation about wether not not it was a good idea after all to use split to handle arrays. It seemed counter intuitive.

closing this for now. if there is specific work on a solution, we should handle that with a new issue.
