TYPO3 Extension format

[!CAUTION] This TYPO3 Extension will not be maintained by b13 any further starting January 2025. So, you're on your own using this extension.

Why?

This extension was initially created back when TYPO3 v4 was hip and cool. However, we've experienced in the past years, that we've utilized composer-based packages directly for solving these problems, when they are needed. We don't need "one-fits-it-all" solution.

If you need a CSV file (or output) generated by PHP, copy over the file into your project, or code the 5 lines on your own.

If you need Excel support, utilize the composer package phpoffice/phpspreadsheet directly.

And if you need PDF creation support - we recommend also to look into solutions you need - some people need wkhtmltopdf, some need mpdf, and others a different requirement.

Utility Extension for putting data in different formats like

Installation

Simply install the extension with Composer or the Extension Manager. Include the TypoScript if you want to use the PDF generation.

Usage

CSV

Use the public API of the CsvService to generate a CSV file or output the CSV string directly.

Excel

There is no wrapper functionality to help with the creation of excel files. However the library phpoffice/phpspreadsheet is required as a composer dependency and can therefore be used out of the box in composer based installations.

PDF

The PDF functionality relies on wkhtmltopdf which must be available on the server. There are several ways to provide the binary. Please refer to the wkhtmltopdf documentation.

The extension provides a PdfService. here is an example usage:

This will create a file myPdf.pdf with the contents of $myHtml in a directory that can be configured in TypoScript. The whole TypoScript configuration (constants.typoscript):

Every setting can be overwritten during runtime:
