Mr.Template

What does it do?

EXT:mr_template helps you to organize your TypoScript and TSConfig in your Template-Extension.

Why have I created this Extension?

My goal when creating template extensions is to be able to reuse code easily and to configure as little as possible by hand.

With Mr.Template, I can create basic templates and build on them.
All TypoScripts and TSConfigs are loaded for the respective section of the page tree. (MultiPage support)

How to use?

1. Basically download and install the extension.
   It is recommended to install it with composer.

2. Create your Template-Extension your with the [folder structure](#Folder structure):

3. Create a template.yml in your Template-Extension and add the config like:

label: Sample Template
parent: mr_template/base
typoScript:
    - EXT:fluid_styled_content/Configuration/TypoScript
    - EXT:news/Configuration/TypoScript
extensions: # Includes TypoScript in Extensions/[ExtsnsionName]/Configuration/TypoScript
    - fluid_styled_content
    - news
tsConfig: # Can handle TSConfig Files or classes wich implements Scarbous\MrTemplate\Template\Entity\TsConfigInterface
    - EXT:sample_template/Configuration/TsConfig/Page/TCEMAIN.tsconfig

4. Define your "site root" and add one empty TypoScript Template to the "site root".

5. Select Template in Sites-Config under Tab "Mr.Template"

Folder structure

That the system can do the job your Template Extension needs the following folder structure:

sample_template
┣ Configuration
┃ ┣ MrTemplate
┃   ┣ default <- Template name, one Extension can handle multiple templates
┃   ┃ ┗ template.yml
┃   ┃
┃   ┗ TsConfig
┃     ┗ Page
┃       ┗ Mod
┃         ┗ WebLayout
┃           ┗ BackendLayouts <- Each BackendLayout get its one file.
┃             ┗ default.tsconfig
┃
┃   ┗ TypoScript <- Default TypoScript
┃     ┣ setup.txt
┃     ┗ constants.txt
┃
┣ Extensions <- Overrides for other extensions
┃ ┗ news
┃   ┗ Configuration
┃     ┗ TypoScript
┃       ┣ setup.txt
┃       ┗ constants.txt
┃

    ┃
    ┣ Partials
    ┃ ┗ Page
    ┃
    ┗ Templates
      ┗ Page

Default TypoScript and TSConfig

Here are some simple Configs I use realy often in Template-Extensions.

TypoScript

EXT:mr_template/Configuration/TypoScript/Page

Add FluidPage Template based on BackendLayout-Name.

EXT:mr_template/Configuration/TypoScript/BackendLayoutBodyClass

Like the folder name say, add the BackendLayout name as class to the body-tag.

EXT:mr_template/Configuration/TypoScript/Config

Some basic configs with configurable constants like:

• caching
• concatenateJs
• concatenateCss
• compressJs
• compressCss

TSConfig

Scarbous\MrTemplate\Template\Entity\BackendLayouts

Adds all BackendLayout files under EXT:[sample_extension\]/Configuration/TsConfig/Page/Mod/WebLayout/BackendLayouts
