Changing Template Path...

Hey guys!
I am trying to customize the aimeos extension for TYPO3 but I have my problems with changing the template path for e.g. the category list. I read that I need to download a customize extension of aimeos which I did and put it in typo3conf/ext. Now I copied all templates which I want to customize from the aimeos extension to my own and changed some code.
And now what's next? I tried to write something in my main setup file but didn't work:
Code: Select all
plugin.tx_aimeos.settings.client.html.catalog.lists.standard.template-body = /typo3conf/ext/aimeos_custom/client/html/catalog/lists/body-standard.php
Can anyone of you give me some hint here?
I also saw in the TYPO3 TyposcriptObjectBrowser that there is a field for customcss + customjs but I couldn't reach it with typoscript either. What am I overseeing?

hi, u forgot *items* i believe.
"client/html/catalog/lists/items/standard/template-body = catalog/lists/items-body-standard.php"
see here
https://aimeos.org/docs/Configuration/C ... plate-body
and instead of typoscript value plugin.tx_aimeos.settings.client.html.catalog.lists.standard.template-body i would register it in /*your extension*/Ressources/Private/Extensions/*your extension*/config/client.php
Code: Select all
<?php
return [
'html' => [
'client' => [
'html' => [
'catalog' => [
'lists' => [
'items' => [
'standard' [
'template-body' => 'YourNewTemplateName'
]
]
]
]
]
]
],
'jsonapi' => [
],
];

To overwrite existing templates with the same name, you don't need any configuration. Only copy the template into the same directory structure in your Aimeos TYPO3 extension (./Resources/Private/Extensions/<extname>/client/html/templates/)

Thanks for the quick response! I don't want to change the thing with the items, just the main body-template of the list (
https://aimeos.org/docs/Configuration/C ... plate-body).
My code looks like this now:
in main setup.t3s:
Code: Select all
plugin.tx_aimeos.settings.client.catalog.lists.standard.template-body = catalog/lists/body-standard.php
in typo3conf/ext/aimeos_custom/config/client.php:
Code: Select all
<?php
return [
'html' => [
'client' => [
'html' => [
'catalog' => [
'lists' => [
'standard' [
'template-body' => 'body-standard.php'
]
]
]
]
]
],
'jsonapi' => [],
];
But it doesn't work. What I am wondering about is where does the aimeos extension know if it should use a custom template path from another extension or not?

So you mean I just could edit the default template file? That's what I did but I read not to overwrite default templates and I find it cleaner to use a path to a custom template instead of overwriting the default.

As the admin said if u name your template like the standard one "body-standard.php" you dont need a config file or a setup.ts to register it. Just use the same directory structure in your extension and it will automatically included.
- And no dont edit the default one.
- Copy the default one in your extension, with the same directory structure . edit it and voilĂ
But if you want give the template a new name you must register it with a config file or setup.ts. And here u cant name it like the default "body-standard.php"!
Perhaps my config was wrong. Try it without html array.
Code: Select all
<?php
return [
'client' => [
'html' => [
'catalog' => [
'lists' => [
'standard' [
'template-body' => 'NewTemplateName'
]
]
]
]
],
'jsonapi' => [
],
];

Ok there must be a point which I miss.
I deleted now the added things in the config + setup. All I have is the installed aimeos extension, in my "typo3conf > ext" I have the custom extension from the downloader called aimeos-custom and copied the file "catalog > lists > body-standard.php" from the original aimeos extension to my custom extension in "client > html > catalog > lists" and edited it. But in browser only the default file is shown.

Just to get clear:
- 1.) For Your Aimeos extension, build with the extensionbuilder from aimeos, You have choosen the Aimeos Version witch matches your Typo3 Version.
- 2.) Your extension is in typo3conf/ext/ directory and u have activated your extension in the typo3 extension manager
- 3.) You have copied the "body-standard.php" file from aimeos extension /typo3conf/ext/aimeos/Resources/Private/Extensions/ai-client-html/client/html/templates/catalog/lists/body-standard.php to /typo3conf/ext/<yourExtensionName>/Resources/Private/Extensions/<yourExtensionName>/client/html/templates/catalog/lists/body-standard.php
- 4.) You edited the body-standard file in /typo3conf/ext/<yourExtensionName>/Resources/Private/Extensions/<yourExtensionName>/client/html/templates/catalog/lists/body-standard.php
and its not working?

You created a bare Aimeos extension instead of an Aimeos TYPO3 extension and copied that to your ./typo3conf/ext/ folder. That doesn't work. Create a TYPO3 extension instead and copy your templates you want do modify into ./typo3conf/ext/<extname>/Resources/Private/Extensions/<extname>/client/html/templates/

Ah ok thanks for the clarification. When I want to upload the custom aimeos folder, the typo3 extension manager throws an error saying "Extension aimeos-custom is not available". Guess I have to handle this until it finally works
