Does the book cover realurl? I looked it up a bit and couldn’t find anything about it.

Currently I am stuck at long urls like “tx_extension_pi1[controller]” that don’t get rewritten by realurl. I already configured some postVarSets and fixedPostVars, but the links internally generated by extbase and fluid are still the same.

Yes, it does. In one of the covered examples (sjr_offers) I have implemented a basic access control logic. You might want to checkout the code here.

Hi.

You have to pass a uid of the Podcast along with the $GET parameters, like: …&tx_podcast_pi1[podcast]=123.

Using {episode.getFilesize} doesn’t work

Give {episode.filesize} a try.

The mailinglist typo3.projects.typo3v4mvc on typo3.org is usually the best place to ask questions and discuss problems regarding to Extbase/Fluid.

Jochen, I really like your book! Thank you very much! It helps kickstart an extbase / fluid project alot. I was able to recreate most of my old nbo_podcast extension within 2 days. Without any former knowhow with extbase or fluid. From time to time i wish the book would be a bit more detailed – but as it’s is a version one book and the software is also very young, so it’s understandable.

I have two questions though: I would like to create an xml output of a single podcast – I have configured realurl and also the page with typeNum as well as the storage pid but the extension throws an error. Creating the xml with format=xml inside a textarea is no problem, but rendering the same page with …?type=978 doesn’t work. Any ideas? The error I get:
#1: PHP Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 1 passed to Tx_Podcast_Controller_PodcastController::showAction() must be an instance of Tx_Podcast_Domain_Model_Podcast, null given in /www/typo3conf/ext/podcast/Classes/Controller/PodcastController.php line 87

Also, I try to calculate the duration of a mp3 uploaded to the “episode” model. I can get the file with the getFile Method of the Episode Model. Using {episode.getFilesize} doesn’t work:

/**
* Getter for File Size
*
* @return string File Size
*/
public function getFilesize() {
return stat($this->getFile());
}

Do you have a hint on how to solve such a problem? Thank you! (Ps. I would also speak german :))

Hi Jochen, I just read your book about Extbase & Fluid – and liked it very much! Therefore I wrote a review about it on my employer’s blog (http://blog.tudock.de/startseite/beitrag/2010/08/09/buch-rezension-zukunftssichere-typo3-extensions-mit-extbase-fluid-von-jochen-rau-und-sebastian.html). Perhaps you wanna take a look?

Hello, just a question, why don’t you do like the certification book ? A german print version and an e-book only for english and eventually others languages ? Extbase/Fluid and Flow3 revolution the way to write extensions and this is a step forward to profesionnal development and compatiility with version 5. English version is a must have for the international community !
