README

1 Features

  • ARD Sounds episodes can be created as a file in the TYPO3 file list
  • ARD Sounds episodes can be used and output with the text with media element
  • Update metadata via command

2 Usage

2.1 Installation

Installation using Composer

The recommended way to install the extension is using Composer.

Run the following command within your Composer based TYPO3 project:

composer require ayacoo/ard-sounds

2.2 TypoScript settings

Privacy

With plugin.tx_ardsounds.settings.privacy = 1 you can ensure that the IFrame is built with data-src instead of src. If you need more options to influence the HTML, you can use a PSR-14 event.

3 Developer Corner

3.1 No official oEmbed endpoint (yet)

ARD Sounds does not currently offer an official oEmbed endpoint. As a stand-in, Ayacoo\ArdSounds\Service\ArdSoundsOEmbedService fetches the public episode page (https://www.ardsounds.de/episode/{urn}/) and parses the PodcastEpisode JSON-LD block that ARD Sounds embeds in every episode page to derive title, description and thumbnail. Once ARD Sounds ships a real oEmbed endpoint, only this service needs to be replaced - Ayacoo\ArdSounds\Helper\ArdSoundsHelper and the renderer are unaffected.

If ARD Sounds changes their page markup so the built-in JSON-LD parsing in ArdSoundsOEmbedService::extractPodcastEpisode() no longer matches, you don't have to wait for an extension update - see ModifyPodcastEpisodeEvent below.

3.2 ModifyPodcastEpisodeEvent

ArdSoundsOEmbedService dispatches ModifyPodcastEpisodeEvent after it tried to parse the PodcastEpisode JSON-LD block from the episode page HTML. The event carries the raw HTML (getHtml()) and the extracted data as an array or null if parsing failed (getEpisode()). A listener can call setEpisode() to replace the extracted data with its own parsing of $html - for example to adapt to a markup change on ARD Sounds' side without having to wait for an extension update.

The array passed to setEpisode() is expected to use the same keys as the JSON-LD PodcastEpisode object, i.e. name, description and image.

EventListener registration

In your extension, extend Configuration/Services.yaml once:

Vendor\ExtName\EventListener\PodcastEpisodeEventListener:
    tags:
        -   name: event.listener
            identifier: 'ard_sounds/podcastEpisode'
            event: Ayacoo\ArdSounds\Event\ModifyPodcastEpisodeEvent
<?php

namespace Vendor\ExtName\EventListener;

use Ayacoo\ArdSounds\Event\ModifyPodcastEpisodeEvent;

class PodcastEpisodeEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(ModifyPodcastEpisodeEvent $event): void
    {
        // Only step in if the built-in parsing found nothing, e.g. after a markup change
        if ($event->getEpisode() !== null) {
            return;
        }

        $episode = $this->parseYourOwnWay($event->getHtml());
        if ($episode !== null) {
            $event->setEpisode($episode);
        }
    }

    private function parseYourOwnWay(string $html): ?array
    {
        // ... your own extraction logic, must return an array with at least
        // the keys "name", "description" and "image", or null on failure
        return null;
    }
}

3.3 ModifyArdSoundsOutputEvent

If you want to modify the output of the ARD Sounds HTML, you can use the ModifyArdSoundsOutputEvent.

EventListener registration

In your extension, extend Configuration/Services.yaml once:

Vendor\ExtName\EventListener\ArdSoundsOutputEventListener:
    tags:
        -   name: event.listener
            identifier: 'ard_sounds/output'
            event: Ayacoo\ArdSounds\Event\ModifyArdSoundsOutputEvent
<?php

namespace Vendor\ExtName\EventListener;

use Ayacoo\ArdSounds\Event\ModifyArdSoundsOutputEvent;

class ArdSoundsOutputEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(ModifyArdSoundsOutputEvent $event): void
    {
        $output = $event->getOutput();
        $output = str_replace('src', 'data-src', $output);
        $event->setOutput($output);
    }
}

3.4 Backend Preview

In the backend, the preview is used by TextMediaRenderer. For online media, this only displays the provider's icon, in this case ard_sounds. If you want to display the thumbnail, for example, you need your own renderer that overwrites Textmedia. An example renderer is available in the project. Caution: This overwrites all text media elements, so only use this renderer as a basis.

You register a renderer in the TCA Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php with $GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['types']['textmedia']['previewRenderer'] = \Ayacoo\ArdSounds\Rendering\ArdSoundsPreviewRenderer::class;

Documentation: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ApiOverview/ContentElements/CustomBackendPreview.html

3.5 Content security policy

If CSP is activated in the backend, policies will be automatically added. To do this, the file Configuration/ContentSecurityPolicies.php is used.

If CSP is to be extended for the frontend, the configuration can be added in a site package extension or in the global csp.yml

Take a look at the current documentation: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ApiOverview/ContentSecurityPolicy/Index.html

  • minor updates (e.g. 1.0.0 => 1.1.0) includes new features and smaller tasks without breaking changes,
  • and major updates (e.g. 1.0.0 => 2.0.0) breaking changes which can be refactorings, features or bugfixes.

Bugfixes: Please describe what kind of bug your fix solve and give us feedback how to reproduce the issue. We're going to accept only bugfixes if we can reproduce the issue.

5 Thanks / Notices

  • Special thanks to Georg Ringer and his news extension. A good template to build a TYPO3 extension. Here, for example, the structure of README.md is used.
  • Thanks also to b13 for the online-media-updater extension. Parts of it were allowed to be included in this extension.
