Could someone give me a pointers of where I can find documentation that would
explain:

1) How, as an administrator, you can setup plugin configuration properties
of the form plugin.tx_EXT_pi1.PROP.
2) How, as a plugin author, you can get the values of those properties.

typo3.org has a tutorial on extension creation. Or wait a month for my book.

Are you referring to this tutorial:

http://typo3.org/documentation/docum....0.8/view/1/2/

The plugin defined in this tutorial (player_profile) seems to be using a
"preference" there: $plugin.player_profile.maxW_single. A default value of
70 is defined in ext_typoscript_constants.txt. But the tutorial doesn't seem
to cover (maybe this is out of scope?

1) How to access the value of this property in PHP code?
2) How, as an administrator, to set the value of this property for a certain
hierarchy of pages.

Any idea?

I found an answer to the first question, in case this can be useful to others
here:

Use: $this->conf['PARAM'])
This is in function main($content,$conf), after doing $this->conf=$conf.

In ext_typoscript_setup.txt:

plugin.tx_EXT_pi1 {
PARAM =
}

After doing those changes, you might need to do a "Clear cache in typo3conf"
in the Admin UI.

(There is a "new way" of doing this described here:
http://www.nabble.com/Javascript-Hea...html#a11214518)

The plugin ve_guestbook is an example of plugin that does this:
http://typo3.org/extensions/reposito...estbook/2.7.1/

Yes.

This approach is dated You should use kickstarter, which generates more modern approach.

> 1) How to access the value of this property in PHP code?

If you have this TS:

plugin.tx_myext_pi1 = USER
plugin.tx_myext_pi1 {
a = b
a {
c = e
}
}

you can access properties as:

$a = $this->conf['a'];
$c = $this->conf['a.']['c']; // Notice period after "a"!

Use Web>Template, "Constant editor" there. There is a box at the top where you can select a set of constants.
