Modifications Using TypoScript

Virtually every aspect of the SMS extension can be modified using TypoScript. The tx_wecsermons_<data_name> configurations represent the data that is stored within the Sermon Management System. Modifying these configurations allows precise control over the Frontend display of literally every piece of data.

Internet Link: See the TypoScript Reference Manual (TSRef) for the specifics of TypoScript commands. http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/.

Each of the configurations is available for each of the LIST, SINGLE, and LATEST views, and are accessed through the following configuration scopes: 

This convention allows you to configure any data field independent of any individual view. 

Resource_types TypoScript Reference

The CASE object resource_types is used to render custom SMS Resource Types. 

[plugin.tx_wecsermons_pi1.resource_types] 

Example tx_wecsermons_* Properties

Let's say that in the Single View the sermon graphic is too small for your needs. Because you upload a high quality graphic for each sermon, you want it to be displayed at a larger scale. 

The default size for sermon graphics in the Single View is a maximum of 128px height by 128px width. You want the sermon graphics to render at 320px by 240px. 

In TypoScript, this is configured at 

plugin.tx_wecsermons_pi1.singleView.tx_wecsermons_sermons.graphic.file.width 

For the example here, we will step you through modifying this value using the TypoScript Object Browser.

To configure the width of the SMS Single View graphics: 

1. 
   Illustration : Opening the TypoScript Object Browser

   Refer to Illustration 75. Using the Template Module (1), click on the page where the SMS Static Template is installed on your site—typically either the Root Page (Home) or the Sermons page (2).

2. In the upper right drop-down box, select the TypoScript Object Browser (3).

3. 
   Illustration : Expanding the TypoScript Object Tree

   Set the OBJECT TREE: selections to Browse: Setup (4), and OL: ALL (5), click the [+] icon next to the tree labeled [plugin] to expand that tree (6).

    

4. Refer to Illustration 76. Scroll down the page, and click the [+] icon for the tree labeled [tx_wecsermons_pi1] (7)to expand that page.

5. Expand the tree labeled [singleView] (8).

6. Expand the tree labeled [tx_wecsermons_sermons] (9).

7. Expand the tree labeled [graphic] (10).

8. Expand the tree labeled [file] (11).

9. Finally, click on the word [width] (12). This will reload the frame that will allow you to edit the configuration value for the width (Illustration 78).

    

10. 
    Illustration : Editing the Object/Property Value

    Refer to Illustration 77. Set the value to the desired width (13). In our example, change the 128 to 240m.

     

    
    Tip: Appending the letter m to either the width or height value allows TYPO3 to compress an image to the maximum value, but will not expand an undersized graphic to the maximum size. This minimizes unnecessary pixilization.

     

11. Click the Update button (14) to save the new value.

12. Repeat steps 9–11 for changing the height value to 320 by clicking on [height] in the TypoScript Object Tree.
