Extend RenderNames classes for indicating editors with a constant string

[zuphilip]

I would like to extend the classes Classes\ViewHelpersRenderNames*.php such that they have a second parameter which will add "(Hrsg.)" at the end of the output string, which than can be called from the Resources\Private\Partials\Frontend*.html. Moreover, it would be nice to have this as a language-dependent term, i.e. "(Eds.)" for English and "(Hrsg.)" for German.

I tried a little but without any success...

Probably a good idea to do this together with #24 or afterwards.

Hi Philip,

not sure if it helps you, but in RenderNamesWithAndViewHelper.php is used the translation stuff for example:
$output .= " " . \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\LocalizationUtility::translate('and', 'publist4ubma2') . " ";

to use this, you have to add the english translation to Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf and the german to Configuration/TypoScript/setup.txt

Not sure if this is the best way in typo3, but tx_news extension did it like this.

I had problems by just creating and using a second parameter for such a class. I didn't yet touch the localization...

OK, not sure If I tried this before, but I would expect something like:

    /**
     * Render the viewhelper
     *
     * @param string $first parameter
     * @param string $second parameter
     * @return string with output
     */
    public function render($first, $second)
    { ... }

Run this with something like:
<m:nameOfViewHelper first="{value.first}" second="{value.second}"/>

Check here:
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/ExtbaseFluidBook/8-Fluid/8-developing-a-custom-viewhelper.html

"If you forget to specify the type of a parameter, an error message will be displayed. Check at all times that the PHPDoc block is complete and syntactical correct. For example, if you forget the @ in front of the param, the type of the parameter is not identified."

On the other hand, you should be able to inject some other class from your project - Maybe it is possible to access some global variables or the databases, for getting extra/arguments.
-> But I think ViewHelpers should not become to big, otherwise they will slow down rendering
