Welcome to your beginner course: Extension Development with TYPO3 CMS V8.7.x. In this course you will easily learn Extbase and Fluid.
At the end of this course, you will have a Memory Minigame.
Thank you very much for your trust and I wish you lot of success!
You will learn some background information around inheritance and the meaning software engineering. I will give you some tips how to structure your web application with Extbase.
You will learn how to use Namespaces in your web application.
You will learn how to structure a PHP class and you will learn the difference between private, protected and public.
I would like to introduce you the MVC model in this last theory part and how it's done in Extbase.
You will learn the goal of Coding Guidelines and the reason why you should use them.
Introduction in the extension: Extension Builder to easily create a base structure for TYPO3 Extension:
Installation
Introduction User Interface
Modelling of the Memory Minigame
Explanation of the auto created structure
FlexForms
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 7 the package should be equal to yours.
We install the modelled extension, configure it with TypoScript and preparing it for the view.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 8 the package should be equal to yours.
Learn to create records of your own models and how to structure them in TYPO3.
Material notes
In the materials you will find images for the cards. Download them, you will need them. After the lecture 9 the package should be equal to yours.
After the installation of your extension, we will complete the Controller and take a look of the output in the frontend. In this lecture you will also learn to know the Autoloader of TYPO3.
After this lecture your extension is ready for the programming part.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 10 the package should be equal to yours.
After the extension has been created with the Extension Builder, we will take a look into the generated folder structure and files.
In this lecture you will learn to know FlexForms by making it possible to chose the card cover image inside the plugin settings.
In this lecture we will register the FlexForm in TYPO3 to make it loaded automatically to choose the cover image.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 13 the package should be equal to yours.
We program the game logik in the GameController and make the cards display in our mini game
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 14 the package should be equal to yours.
You will learn where the template paths are set in TypoScript. Then you will implement the display of the memory cards in Fluid.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 15 the package should be equal to yours.
To display the game cards in the browser correctly, we need to inlcude the CSS and JS files.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. On the one hand, you will find a ZIP file with the complete memory extension and on the other hand you will find the includes CSS and JS files in the Recources.zip as well.
In this lecture you will learn the handling with Partials by including the highscore form.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 17 the package should be equal to yours.
In this lecture we will programe the Action function that are responsible to save the highscore form. This function will be called in the secion: AJAX.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 18 the package should be equal to yours.
In this lecture you will get to know the validator class from Extbase. Therefore we will validate the highscore form.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 19 the package should be equal to yours.
I will give you a short explanation of AJAX and how to implement it in TYPO3.
In this lecture we will implement AJAX calls with the typeNum parameter from TYPO3.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 21 the package should be equal to yours.
As an alternative to typeNum to do AJAX calls, you will learn to do it with the eID parameter. The eID parameter in TYPO3 is a special one and switch TYPO3 to a special mode. This lecture is divided in 3 lectures.
In part 1 we will create an abstract controller class as a basement for all eID controllers.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 22 the package should be equal to yours.
After creating the abstract class, we will do the highscore saving in the acutal eID controller.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 23 the package should be equal to yours.
The controller part of the eID parameter solution is completed. In this lecture we will do the view part.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 24 the package should be equal to yours.
In this lecture you will get to know the Scheduler and it's usage.
In this lecture you will create a Scheduler task. We begin to create the class for the mail dispatch via email.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 26 the package should be equal to yours.
In this lecture you will program the email dispatches for the highscore data.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 27 the package should be equal to yours.
Finally we will read the highscore data with the repository.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 28 the package should be equal to yours.
In this lecture I will show you the backend module.
For the practical part we will create a backend module to display the highscore data in the backend. In this lecture you will learn to register the backend module and we will create the controller class.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 30 the package should be equal to yours.
In this lecture we will create the View part of our backend module.
Material notes
Inside the materials you will find a zip package of the Memory extension. After the lecture 31 the package should be equal to yours.
In this lecture I will show you some good knowledge sources.
I describe some examples of my exprience in programming web applications and give you some tips and insights in my daily work.
I accelerate your time to get into TYPO3 as a Developer by a mutlitple. In this course of 4.5 hours video footage you will learn everything you need to create TYPO3 V8.7 extensions. After this course you can create your own extensions and start your projects in TYPO3.
This course gives you a big advantage in understanding extension development for higher TYPO3 version. Because most of the techniques remains the same for later versions.
This course is also perfect for TYPO3 newcomer as it shows how the development with TYPO3 works and how you can solve unexpected exceptions.
You learn all most important aspects of Extbase and Fluid, like:
Extension structure
Creating frontend plugins
Creating backend modules
Creating Scheduler tasks
Working with the datbase (Model & Repository)
Creating custom validators for forms
AJAX - Requests via eID and typeNum
Include TypoScript (Setup & Constants)
and much more
To make this course more fun, you will develope with me a small Memory game.
You will have the opportunity to compare your code with mine. You will always find my files attached to the corresponding lessons. And at the end I will give you the complete extension source code as well.
I recommend that you have some experience in PHP programming and TYPO3 CMS as an editor as well to follow along.
