Indexer for ext:mask

[christianbltr]

As an integrator I want to be able to index content element created with the extension "mask" in order to make the content of those elements to the search results.

acceptance criteria

• Mask content elements will get indexed by the page indexer and the content element indexer.
• Content stored in the tt_content table will be indexed and also content stored in tables created by the mask extension.

ha! My thema! I have a working "mask indexer" if you want to have a look at it. But it's not that good, because you have to enter all fieldnames manually in the indexer config.

Do you have it publicly available (eg. GitHub)?

Not really, it's part of a custom extension. But I've made a gist with the files:
https://gist.github.com/ursbraem/098c7b66df4b7784b6662d65aeac112e

It's TYPO3 7.6, so probably not worth too much. If you want the full extension, I'll prepare it. Ah, and it will receive an upgrade to 9.5 very soon.

In TYPO3, only the "Mask Pages indexer" is set up. It calls the content indexer.
I have to configure the items manually; it should read them from mask.json.

I think you will know most of the code 😀

To index mask content I would usually just use this hook of ke_search like so:

This could easily be adapted, in order for Integrators to add their own fields in the backend or in typoscript.
It could also easily be automated, like "Select all tt_content fields whicht start with tx_mask_".
All tho you can't exclude content that way.

(This might rather be part of EXT:mask instead of EXT:ke_search)

Since there's now a 3rd party extension to index mask I'm closing this.

Have a look at https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/mask_kesearch_indexer/
