Typoscript Object Tags
Typoscript object tags are a method of putting Typoscript Object IN your text as written in the RTE.
For this I want to start right away with a little example:
This text: is written directly into the RTE and the image is automaticly created!
Or we can re-use the object like this:
How is this done?
We use a basic Typoscript Setup for it that looks like this:
gifbtext {
alttext.cObject = TEXT
alttext.cObject.field = header
file = GIFBUILDER
file {
format = gif
reduceColors = 8
transparentColor = #f6f2ea
XY = [10.w]+2,[10.h]+2
backColor = #f6f2ea
10 = TEXT
10 {
text = Ries van Twisk
fontSize = 15
fontColor = #280505
offset = 0,14
fontFile = fileadmin/templates/fonts/edwastic.ttf
}
}
}
The code for the first example looks like this :
This <tsobj_ gifbtext>gifbtext.file.10.text = R. van Twisk</tsobj_> is written directly into the RTE and the image is automaticly created!
As you can see I can insert the Typoscript Object with the name gifbtext directly into my text.
The code for my second example looks like this:
<tsobj_ gifbtext>gifbtext.file.10.text = Ries welcomes Kaspers new baby!//gifbtext.file.10.fontColor = green</tsobj_>
You can use // to seperate two lines of typoscript code which will be merged into the TypoScript during processing. By doing this you can re-use Typoscript Templates with only the needed changes.
IMPORTANT!: You need to remove the underscore _ from the line tsobj otherwise it will not work!! I had to write it down like this because my tags are processed otherwise.
An Date Time Example
An other example would be to insert the current this like this :
This example is taken from Marlies as shown here : Current Date in Typoscript
This is my typoscript Code:
currentDate = TEXT
currentDate {
data = date:U
strftime = %A, %e %B %Y
}
As marlies correcly explain you need to setup markers to show the current date on the screen, no flexebility and no way to use it again as shown again like I just did!
So how this the code look like?
The current Date is :<t sobj currentDate></t sobj> as of today!
As you can see it's extreemly simple to inject Typoscript now between your tags and re-use them.
Download and test!
23 April 2006: I uploaded the extension inclusing an Open Office document to TER. You can find it here : 
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/search/rvt_tsobjtags/0.0.1/
If you like the extension then I would appriciate if you put a link to my site, or to help me 
sponsoring a new lap-top since my old one is broken.
How in the RTE
rtehtmlarea sets this as default : RTE.default.proc.entryHTMLparser_db.keepNonMatchedTags = protect
It means that you can enter your own tag in the RTE WYSIWYG mode as if you are typing HTML code. And it works out of the box as shown above.
This document was generated on and ofcourse using the tsobj method!
