Gateway timeout with relatedByFirstCategory

[wowaTYPO3]

In TYPO3 12.4.3 and News 11.1.2 I get a gateway timeout in the frontend when I want to output additional news of the same category on the details page as described here: https://docs.typo3.org/p/georgringer/news/main/en-us/Tutorials/BestPractice/IntegrationWithTypoScript/Index.html#show-news-items-with-same-category-in-detail-html

My TypoScript looks like this:

lib.tx_news.relatedByFirstCategory = USER
lib.tx_news.relatedByFirstCategory {
  userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
  extensionName = News
  pluginName = Pi1
  vendorName = GeorgRinger

  settings < plugin.tx_news.settings
  settings {
    relatedView = 1
    detailPid = 31
    limit = 4
    useStdWrap := addToList(categories)
    categories.current = 1
    categoryConjunction = or
    overrideFlexformSettingsIfEmpty := addToList(detailPid)
    startingpoint = 34
  }
}

I have to say that there are about 13000 news articles at the moment, with several new ones added every day.

I work locally with DDEV, and ddev logs shows me the following: NOTICE: PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 134217728 bytes) in /var/www/html/vendor/typo3/cms-extbase/Classes/Mvc/Request.php on line 279

However, increasing the PHP memory limit does not help either.

[georgringer]

are you providing several categories? try just one

[wowaTYPO3]

Hm, I don't quite understand the answer. I'm embedding the object on a page that has a plugin that displays both list and detail view. The news that are displayed there have multiple categories, but it's only about the first one, right?

the same with the output of news related to similar tags:

lib.tx_news.relatedByTags = USER
lib.tx_news.relatedByTags {
    userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
    extensionName = News
    pluginName = Pi1
    vendorName = GeorgRinger

    settings < plugin.tx_news.settings
    settings {
        # custom tag to use in List.html
        relatedView = 1
        # limit number of news
        limit = 6
# startingpoint = 1

        useStdWrap := addToList(tags)
        tags.current = 1
        categoryConjunction = or
        overrideFlexformSettingsIfEmpty := addToList(detailPid)
        excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews = 1
    }
}

same behavior with single uid or comma separated uid list as string.

P.S: list view and detail view are the same page

I have the same problem.

[georgringer]

please use something like this

<f:if condition="{settings.relatedView}">
                <f:else>
                    <f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.tx_news.relatedByTags">5</f:cObject>
                </f:else>
            </f:if>

and

lib.tx_news.relatedByTags {
settings.relatedView = 1
}

@georgringer in my typoscript the setting relatedView was already set, but i still get an infinite loop error when i activate xdebug for further investigation:

xdebug output:

(1/1) Error

Xdebug has detected a possible infinite loop, and aborted your script with a stack depth of '1000' frames

at TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Request->getAttribute('extbase', null)

in /var/www/html/vendor/typo3/cms-extbase/Classes/Mvc/Request.php line 271

    {
        return $this->request->getAttributes();
    }

    public function getAttribute($name, $default = null)
    {
        return $this->request->getAttribute($name, $default);
    }

typoscript:

lib.tx_news.relatedByTags = USER
lib.tx_news.relatedByTags {
    userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
    extensionName = News
    pluginName = Pi1
    vendorName = GeorgRinger
    settings < plugin.tx_news.settings
    settings.relatedView = 1
    settings {
        excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews = 1
        limit = 1
        detailPid = 44
        useStdWrap := addToList(tags)
        tags.current = 1
        categoryConjunction = or
        overrideFlexformSettingsIfEmpty := addToList(detailPid)
    }
}

Fluid Snippet:

<f:if condition="{settings.relatedView}">
<f:if condition="{newsItem.tags}">
    <div class="news-related-wrap">
        <h4>
            <f:translate key="related-news"/>
        </h4>
        <div class="news-related news-related-news">
            <f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.tx_news.relatedByTags">4</f:cObject>
        </div>
    </div>
</f:if>
</f:if>

am i missing something here?

[georgringer]

the cobject should be called if relatedview is NOT set

[WebArtAllgaeu]

@georgringer

my fault. makes sense now.

one question left: what do i need to do to output the related news as list items? currently they are rendered as further detail pages. is this covered in the docs?

[georgringer]

after debugging, I suggest this

lib.tx_news.relatedByTags = USER
lib.tx_news.relatedByTags {
    userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
    extensionName = News
    pluginName = NewsListSticky
    vendorName = GeorgRinger

    mvc {
        callDefaultActionIfActionCantBeResolved = 1
    }
}

so using the NewsListSticky and the mvc setting. if this works, I will adopt the docs

[wowaTYPO3]

Since I have just (unfortunately ;)) the next 3 weeks vacation, I can only test afterwards. But I give feedback as soon as possible.

@WebArtAllgaeu to the rescue

[format-gmbh]

For me it runs now with the following settings:

lib.tx_news.relatedByFirstCategory = USER
lib.tx_news.relatedByFirstCategory {
    userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
    extensionName = News
    pluginName = NewsListSticky
    vendorName = GeorgRinger
    settings < plugin.tx_news.settings
    settings {
        relatedView = 1
        detailPid = 123
        useStdWrap := addToList(categories)
        categories.current = 1
        categoryConjunction = or
        overrideFlexformSettingsIfEmpty := addToList(detailPid)
        startingpoint = 1234
    }
}

and

    <f:if condition="{settings.relatedView}">
        <f:else>
            <f:if condition="{newsItem.firstCategory}">
                <f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.tx_news.relatedByFirstCategory">{newsItem.firstCategory.uid}</f:cObject>
            </f:if>
        </f:else>
    </f:if>

@georgringer I can confirm that it works with NewsListSticky and mvc setting. just for the case that someone stumbles over this post who has the same problem like me - her is my final typoscript:

lib.tx_news.relatedByTags = USER
lib.tx_news.relatedByTags {
    userFunc = TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Core\Bootstrap->run
    extensionName = News
    pluginName = NewsListSticky
    vendorName = GeorgRinger

    mvc {
        callDefaultActionIfActionCantBeResolved = 1
    }

    settings < plugin.tx_news.settings
    settings.hidePagination = 1
    settings.topNewsFirst = 1
    settings {
        relatedView = 1
        excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews = 1
        limit = 3
        detailPid = 44
        useStdWrap := addToList(tags)
        tags.current = 1
        categoryConjunction = or
        overrideFlexformSettingsIfEmpty := addToList(detailPid)
    }
}
