How to make child pages inherit a parent bundle

Question

I would like to know how I could make child pages (more than 10k) inherit a parent page plugin.

The old way to make a plugin, was to create a pi1/class.tx_extkey_pi1.php file that extends \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Plugin\AbstractPlugin and that it was easy to set in parent page and automatically the children pages.

Now, with an Extbase MVC plugin, I've got controllers than extend ActionController but I can't make it recursive.

Does somebody know a way to do it?

Big thank you for any help

Answer 1

AbstractPlugin

Classes that inherit from AbstractPlugin (so called Pi-Based-Plugins) where invoked in TypoScript like this:

page = PAGE
page.10 = USER
page.10 {
  userFunc = tx_myext_pi1->main
}

Extbase

Using the Extbase MVC dispatcher, plugins are called like the following - this will call the first registered action of the first registered controller in ext_localconf.php:

page = PAGE
page.10 = USER
page.10 {
    userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
    vendorName = MyVendor
    extensionName = MyExtension
    pluginName = MyPlugin
}

However, there's a work-around to select a specific action in TypoScript using switchableControllerActions - the follow TypoScript invokes MyVendor\MyExtension\MyController::myAction():

page = PAGE
page.10 = USER
page.10 {
    userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
    vendorName = MyVendor
    extensionName = MyExtension
    pluginName = MyPlugin
    switchableControllerActions {
        My {       // automatically expanded to class name "MyController"
            0 = my // automatically expanded to method name "myAction"
        }
    }
}
