3.8.4. User defined methods in classes

Prefix user defined methods and internal variables with "ux_"! Thus you don't risk to choose a method name which may later be added to the parent class in the TYPO3 distribution!

Example, continued from above:

  

 class  

 ux_tslib_fe  

 extends  

 tslib_fe  

 {

    var  

 $ux_fLPmode 

   

 =  

 1 

 ;     

 // If you "feelLuckyPunk" this is the no_cache value

    

   

 function  

 ux_tslib_fe 

 ( 

 $TYPO3_CONF_VARS 

 ,  

 $id 

 ,  

 $type 

 ,  

 $no_cache 

 = 

 "" 

 ,  

 $cHash 

 = 

 "" 

 ,  

 $jumpurl 

 = 

 "" 

 ){

             

 // setting no_cache?

         

 $no_cache 

 = 

 $this 

 -> 

 ux_settingNoCache 

 ();

             

 // Calling parent constructor:

         

 parent 

 :: 

 tslib_fe 

 ( 

 $TYPO3_CONF_VARS 

 ,  

 $id 

 ,  

 $type 

 ,  

 $no_cache 

 ,  

 $cHash 

 ,  

 $jumpurl 

 );

  }

   

 /**

   * Setting the no_cache value based on user-input in GET/POST var, feelLuckyPunk

   */

   

 function  

 ux_settingNoCache 

 ()    {

      return  

 t3lib_div 

 :: 

 GPvar 

 ( 

 "feelLuckyPunk" 

 ) ?  

 $this->ux_fLPmode 

   

 :  

 0 

 ;

  }

}
