Installation
============

The following features are only tested / supported on linux hosts:

* General: QFQ is coded to run on Linux hosts, preferable on Debian derivates like Ubuntu.
* HTML to PDF conversion - command `wkhtmltopdf`.
* Concatenation of PDF files - command `pdftk`.
* Mime type detection for uploads - command `file`.


.. _`preparation`:

Preparation
-----------

Report & Form
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In PHP 5.x the QFQ extension needs  the PHP MySQL native driver. The following functions are used and are only available with the
native driver (see also: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php-mysqlnd/):

* mysqli::get_result (important),
* mysqli::fetch_all (nice to use)

To normalize UTF8 input, the *php5-intl* resp. *php7.0-intl* package is needed by

* normalizer::normalize()

For the `download`_ function, the programs `pdftk` and `file` are necessary to concatenate PDF files.

Preparation for Ubuntu 14.04::

	sudo apt-get install php5-mysqlnd php5-intl
	sudo apt-get install pdftk file                  # for file upload and PDF
	sudo apt-get install inkscape imagemagick     # to render thumbnails
	sudo php5enmod mysqlnd
	sudo service apache2 restart

Preparation for Ubuntu 16.04::

	sudo apt install php7.0-intl
	sudo apt install pdftk libxrender1 file pdf2svg  # for file upload, PDF and 'HTML to PDF' (wkhtmltopdf), PDF split
	sudo apt install inkscape imagemagick            # to render thumbnails

.. _wkhtml:

wkhtmltopdf
^^^^^^^^^^^

`wkhtmltopdf <http://wkhtmltopdf.org/>`_ will be used by QFQ to offer 'website print' and 'HTML to PDF' conversion.
The program is not included in QFQ and has to be manually installed.

* The Ubuntu package `wkhtmltopdf` needs a running Xserver - this does not work on a headless webserver.

  * Best is to install the QT version from the named website above.
  * In case of trouble with wkhtmltopdf, also install 'libxrender1'.
  * The current version 0.12.4 might have trouble with https connections. Version 0.12.5-dev (github master branch)
    seems more reliable. Please contact the QFQ authors if you need a compiled Ubuntu version of wkhtmltopdf.

In `configuration`_ specify the: ::

    cmdWkhtmltopdf=/opt/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf`.
    baseUrl=http://www.example.com/`.

If wkhtml has been compiled with dedicated libraries (not part of LD_LIBRARY_PATH), specify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH together
with the path-filename: ::

    cmdWkhtmltopdf=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/wkhtmltox/lib /opt/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf

**Important**: To access FE_GROUP protected pages or content, it's necessary to disable the `[FE][lockIP]` check! `wkhtml`
will access the Typo3 page locally (localhost) and that IP address is different from the client (=user) IP.

Configure via Typo3 Installtool `All configuration > $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']`: ::

   [FE][lockIP] = 0

**Warning**: this disables an important anti-'session hijacking' protection. The security level of the whole installation
will be *lowered*! Again, this is only needed if `wkhtml` needs access to FE_GROUP protected pages & content. As an
alternative to lower the security level, create a separated page subtree which is only accessible (configured via
Typoscript) from specific IPs **or** if a FE-User is logged in.

If there are problems with converting/downloading FE_GROUP protected pages, check `SHOW_DEBUG_INFO = download` to debug.

**Important**: Converting HTML to PDF gives no error message but RC=-1? Check carefully all includes of CSS, JS, images
and so on! Typically some of them fails to load and wkhtml stops running!


HTML to PDF conversion
''''''''''''''''''''''

`wkhtmltopdf` converts a website (local or remote) to a (multi)-page PDF file. It's mainly used in `download`_.

Print
'''''

Different browser prints the same page in different variations. To prevent this, QFQ implements a small PHP wrapper
`print.php` with uses `wkhtmltopdf` to convert HTML to PDF.

Provide a `print this page`-link (replace 'current pageId' )::

	<a href="typo3conf/ext/qfq/qfq/api/print.php?id={current pageId}">Print this page</a>

Any parameter specified after `print.php` will be delivered to `wkhtmltopdf` as part of the URL.

Typoscript code to implement a print link on every page::

	10 = TEXT
	10 {
		wrap = <a href="typo3conf/ext/qfq/qfq/api/print.php?id=|&type=99"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-print" aria-hidden="true"></span> Printview</a>
		data = page:uid
	}

Send Email
^^^^^^^^^^

QFQ sends mail via `sendEmail` http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/ - a small perl script without a central
configuration.

By default, `sendEmail` uses the local installed MTA, writes a logfile to `typo3conf/mail.log` and handles attachments
via commandline options. A basic HTML email support is implemented.

The latest version is v1.56, which has at least one bug. That one is patched in the QFQ internal version v1.56p1 (see
QFQ GIT sources in directory 'patches/sendEmail.patch').

Nevertheless, on latest system the TLS support is broken - please check sendEmailProblem_.

The Typo3 sendmail eco-system is not used at all by QFQ.

Thumbnail
^^^^^^^^^

Thumbnails will be rendered via ImageMagick (https://www.imagemagick.org/) 'convert' and 'inkscape' (https://inkscape.org).
'inkscape' is only used for '.svg' files.

The Typo3 graphic eco-system is not used at all by QFQ.

Usage: `column-thumbnail`_.

Setup
-----

* Install the extension via the Extensionmanager.

  * If you install the extension by manual download/upload and get an error message
    "can't activate extension": rename the downloaded zip file to `qfq.zip` or `qfq_<version>.zip` (e.g. version: 0.9.1).

  * If the Extensionmanager stops after importing: check your memory limit in php.ini.

* Copy/rename the file *<site path>/typo3conf/ext/qfq/config.example.qfq.php* to *config.qfq.php*.
  Configure the necessary settings `configuration`_
  The configuration file is outside the of extension directory, to not loose it during updates.
* When the QFQ Extension is called the first time on the Typo3 Frontend, the file *<ext_dir>/qfq/sql/formEditor.sql* will
  played and fills the database with the *Form editor* records. This also happens automatically after each update of QFQ.
* Configure Typoscript to include Bootstrap, jQuery, QFQ javascript and CSS files.

.. _form-editor:

FormEditor
----------

Setup a *report* to manage all *forms*:

* Create a Typo3 page.
* Set the 'URL Alias' to `form` (default) or the individual defined value in parameter `editFormPage` (configuration_).
* Insert a content record of type *qfq*.
* In the bodytext insert the following code: ::

    # If there is a form given by SIP: show
    form={{form:SE}}

    # In case indexQfq is different from indexData, set indexQfq.
    dbIndex = {{indexQfq:Y}}

    10 {
        # List of Forms: Do not show this list of forms if there is a form given by SIP.
        # Table header.
        sql = SELECT CONCAT('p:{{pageId:T}}&form=form') as _pagen, '#', 'Name', 'Title', 'Table', '' FROM (SELECT 1) AS fake WHERE '{{form:SE}}'=''
        head = {{'b|p:id={{pageAlias:T}}&form=copyFormFromExt|t:Copy form from ExtForm' AS _link}}
               <table class="table table-hover qfq-table-50">
        tail = </table>
        rbeg = <thead><tr>
        rend = </tr></thead>
        fbeg = <th>
        fend = </th>

        10 {
            # All forms
            sql = SELECT CONCAT('p:{{pageId:T}}&form=form&r=', f.id) as _pagee, f.id, f.name, f.title, f.tableName, CONCAT('form=form&r=', f.id) as _Paged FROM Form AS f ORDER BY f.name
            rbeg = <tr>
            rend = </tr>
            fbeg = <td>
            fend = </td>
        }
    }

.. _install-checklist:

Install Check List
------------------

* Protect the directory `<T3 installation>/fileadmin/protected` in Apache against direct file access.

  * `<T3 installation>/fileadmin/protected/` should be used for confidential (uploaded / generated) data.
  * `<T3 installation>/fileadmin/protected/log/...` is the default place for QFQ logfiles.

* Protect the directory `<T3 installation>/fileadmin` in Apache to not execute PHP Scripts - malicious uploads won't be executed.
* Setup a log rotation rule for `sqlLog`.
* Check that `sqlLogMode` is set to `modify` on productive sites. With `none` you have no chance to find out who changed
  which data and `all` really logs a mass of data.

.. _`CustomVariables`:

Custom variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Up to 30 custom variables can be defined in `configuration`_.

E.g. to setup a contact address and reuse the information inside your installation do: ::

   custom1: ADMINISTRATIVE_CONTACT = john@doe.com
   custom2: ADMINISTRATIVE_ADDRESS = John Doe, Hollywood Blvd. 1, L.A.
   custom3: ADMINISTRATIVE_NAME = John Doe

 * Somewhere in a `Form` or in `Report`::

      {{ADMINISTRATIVE_CONTACT:Y}}, {{ADMINISTRATIVE_ADDRESS:Y}}, {{ADMINISTRATIVE_NAME}}

It's also possible to configure such variables directly in `config.qfq.php`_.

.. _`fillStoreSystemBySql`:

Fill STORE_SYSTEM by SQL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A specified SELECT statement in `configuration`_ in variable `fillStoreSystemBySql1` (or `2`,
or `3`) will be fired. The query should have 0 (nothing happens) or 1 row. All columns will be
**added** to the existing STORE_SYSTEM. Existing variables will be overwritten. Be careful not to overwrite system values.

This option is useful to make generic custom values, saved in the database, accessible to all QFQ Report and Forms.
Access such variables via `{{<varname>:Y}}`.

In case QFQ should stop working if a given query does not select exact one record (e.g. a missing period), define an
error message: ::

  fillStoreSystemBySql1: SELECT name FROM Person WHERE name='Doe'
  fillStoreSystemBySqlErrorMsg1: Too many or to few "Doe's" in our database

.. _`periodId`:

periodId
''''''''

This is

* a usecase, implemented via `fillStoreSystemBySql`_,
* a way to access `Period.id` with respect to the current period (the period itself is custom defined).

After a full QFQ installation:

* a table `Period` (extend / change it to your needs, fill them with your periods),
* one sample record in table `Period`,

Websites, delivering semester data, school year schedules, or any other type or periods, often need an index to the
*current* period.

In configuration_: ::

	fillStoreSystemBySql1: SELECT id AS periodId FROM Period WHERE start<=NOW() ORDER BY start DESC LIMIT 1

a variable 'periodId' will automatically computed and filled in STORE SYSTEM. Access it via `{{periodId:Y0}}`.
To get the name and current period: ::

  SELECT name, ' / ', start FROM Period WHERE id={{periodId:Y0}}

Typically, it's necessary to offer a 'previous' / 'next' link. In this example, the STORE SIP holds the new periodId: ::

  SELECT CONCAT('id={{pageId:T}}&periodId=', {{periodId:SY0}}-1, '|Next') AS _Page, ' ', name, ' ', CONCAT('id={{pageId:T}}&periodId=', {{periodId:SY0}}+1, '|Next') AS _Page FROM Period AS s WHERE s.id={{periodId:SY0}}

Take care for minimum and maximum indexes (do not render the links if out of range).

.. _`DbUserPrivileges`:

DB USER privileges
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The specified DB User needs privileges to the database of at least: SELECT / INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE / SHOW.

To apply automatically QFQ-'DB UPDATE' the following rights are mandatory too: CREATE / ALTER

To get access to the Typo3 installation, 'dbuser' should also have access to the Typo3 Database with at least SELECT / INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE.



.. _`ExceptionMaxLength`:

Exception for SECURITY_GET_MAX_LENGTH
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If it is necessary to use a GET variable which exceeds `securityGetMaxLength` limit, name the variable with '_<num>' at
the end. E.g. `my_long_variable_130`. Such a variable has an allowed length of 130 chars. Access the variable as
usual with the variable name: `{{my_long_variable_130:C:...}}`.


.. _`sessionTimeoutSeconds`:

FE-User: Session timeout seconds
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is no timeout for website users who are not logged in (but typically those users don't have access to protected content).

For logged in users, the default timeout is 1800 seconds. These timeout only affects QFQ related content and can be
specified a) globally (QFQ configuration) and b) specific per Form.

The maximum timeout depends on the minimal value of php.ini `session.cookie_lifetime` and `session.gc_maxlifetime`.
Specifying a higher value produces an error in the front end.

Every access to QFQ related content resets the timeout.

After FE login, the next access to QFQ related content starts the timeout counter.

.. _local-documentation:

Local Documentation
-------------------

A HTML rendered version is available under: <your site>/typo3conf/ext/qfq/Documentation/html/Index.html

If you get a 'Page forbidden / not found' there might be some Webserver restrictions. E.g. the Typo3 example of `.htaccess`
in the Typo3 installation folder will forbid access to any extension documentation (which is a good idea on a productive
server). For a development server instead, deactivate the forbid rule of 'documentation'. In `.htaccess` (snippet from
Typo3 7.6 _.htaccess): ::

  production:   RewriteRule (?:typo3conf/ext|typo3/sysext|typo3/ext)/[^/]+/(?:Configuration|Resources/Private|Tests?|Documentation|docs?)/ - [F]
  development:  RewriteRule (?:typo3conf/ext|typo3/sysext|typo3/ext)/[^/]+/(?:Configuration|Resources/Private|Tests?|docs?)/ - [F]

.. _concept:

Concept
=======

SIPs
----

The following is a technical background information. Not needed to just use QFQ.

The SIPs (=Server Id Pairs) are uniq timestamps, created/registered on the fly for a specific browser session (=user). Every SIP is
registered on the server (= stored in a browser session) and contains one or more key/value pairs. The key/value pairs never leave
the server. The SIPs will be used:

* to protect values not to be spoofed by anyone,
* to protect values not to be altered by anyone,
* to grant access, e.g.:

  * load and save forms,
  * upload files,
  * download files,
  * PHP AJAX pages.

SIPs becomes invalid, as soon as the current browser session is destroyed. The client (= user) can't manipulate the content
of SIPs - it's only possible to reuse already registered SIPs by the user, who already owns the session.

Access privileges
-----------------

The Typo3 FE Groups can be used to implement access privileges. Such groups are assigned to

* Typo3 FE users,
* Typo3 pages,
* and/or Typo3 content records (e.g. QFQ records).

This will be used for general page structure privileges.

A `record base` privileges controlling (e.g. which user can edit
which person record) will be implicit configured, by the way that records are viewable / editable (or not) through
SQL in the specific QFQ tt-content statements.

Typo3 QFQ content element
-------------------------

Insert one or more QFQ content elements on a Typo3 page. Specify column and language per content record as wished.

The title of the QFQ content element will not be rendered on the frontend. It's only visible to the webmaster in the
backend for orientation.

.. _`qfq-database`:

QFQ Database
------------

Recommended setup for Typo3 & QFQ Installation is with *two* databases. One for the Typo3 installation and one for QFQ.
A good practice is to name both databases equal, appending the suffix '_t3' and '_db'.

When QFQ is called, it checks for QFQ system tables. If they do not exist or have a lower version than the installed qfq
version, the system tables will be automatically installed or updated.

.. _`multi-database`:

Multi Database
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Base: T3 & QFQ
''''''''''''''

QFQ typically interacts with one database, the QFQ database. The database used by Typo3 is typically a separate one.
Theoretically it might be the same (never tested), but it's strongly recommended to use a separated QFQ database to have
no problems on Typo3 updates and to have a clean separation between Typo3 and QFQ.

QFQ: System & Data
''''''''''''''''''

QFQ itself can be separated in 'QFQ system' (see `system-tables`_) and 'QFQ data' databases (even more than one are
possible). The 'QFQ system' stores the forms, record locking, log tables and so on - `QFQ data` is for the rest.

A `Multi Database` setup is given, if 'QFQ system' is different from 'QFQ data'.

Data: Data1, Data2, ..., Data n
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Every database needs to be configured via `configuration`_ with it's own `index`.

`QFQ data` might switch between different 'data'-databases. In configuration_ one main `QFQ data` index will be specified
in `indexQfq`. If specific forms or reports should use a different database than that, `dbIndex` might change
`indexData` temporarily.

`dbIndex`: A `Report` (field `dbIndex`) as well as a `Form` (field `parameter`.`dbIndex`) can operate on a specific database.


A `Form` will:

* load the form-definition from `indexQfq` (table `Form` and `FormElement`),
* loads and save data from/in `indexData` (config.qfq.php) / `dbIndex` (form.parameter.dbIndex),
* retrieve extra information via `dbIndexExtra` - this is useful to offer information from a database and save them in a
  different one.

The simplest setup, QFQ system & data in the same database, needs no `indexQfq / indexData` definition in
configuration_ or one or both of them set to '1'

To separate QFQ system and data, indexQfq and indexData will have different indexes.


A Multi Database setup might be useful for:

* several independent Typo3 QFQ installations (each have it's own form repository) and one central database, or
* one QFQ installation which should display / load /save records from different databases, or
* a combination of the above two.

Note:

* Option 'A' is the most simple and commonly used.
* Option 'B' separate the T3 and QFQ databases on two database hosts.
* Option 'C' is like 'B' but with a shared 'QFQ data'-database between three 'Typo3 / QFQ' instances.
* Further variants are possible.

+---+----------------+--------------+-------------------------------+------------------------------+----------------------------------+

In config-qfq-php_ mutliple database credentials can be prepared. Mandatory is at least one credential setup like
`DB_1_USER`, `DB_1_SERVER`, `DB_1_PASSWORD`, `DB_1_NAME`. The number '1' indicates the `dbIndex`. Increment the number
to specify further database credential setups.

Typically the credentials for `DB_1`  also have access to the T3 database.


Different QFQ versions, shared database
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When using different QFQ versions and a shared 'QFQ data'-database, there is some risk of conflicting
'QFQ system' tables. Best is to always use the same QFQ version on all instances or use a Multi Database setup.

.. _debug:

=====

SQL Logging
-----------

configuration_

.. _SQL_LOG:

* *sqlLog*

  * Filename where to log SQL queries and statistical data.
  * File is relative to the `<site path>` or absolute (starting with '/').
  * Content: SQL queries and timestamp, formName/formId, fe_user, success, affected rows, newly created record
    id's and accessed from IP.
  * The global setting can be overwritten by defining `sqlLog` inside of a QFQ tt-content record.


.. _SQL_LOG_MODE:

* *sqlLogMode: all|modify|error|none*

  * *all*: logs every SQL statement.
  * *modify*: logs only statements who might potentially change data.
  * *error*: logs only queries which generate SQL errors.
  * *none*: no query logging at all.
  * The global setting can be overwritten by defining `sqlLogMode` inside of a QFQ tt-content record.

* *showDebugInfo = [yes|no|auto],[download]*

  If active, displays additional information in the Frontend (FE). This is typically helpful during development.

  * *yes*:

    * Form:

      * For every internal link/button, show tooltips with decoded SIP on mouseover.
      * Shows an 'Edit form'-button (wrench symbol) on a form. The link points to the T3 page with the :ref:`form-editor`.

    * Report: Will be configured per tt-content record.

      *debugShowBodyText = 1*

  * *no*: No debug info.

  * *auto*: Depending if there is a Typo3 BE session, set internally:

    * *showDebugInfo = yes*  (BE session exist)
    * *showDebugInfo = no*   (no BE session)

  * *download*:

    * During a download (especially by using wkhtml), temporary files are not deleted automatically. Also the
      `wkhtmltopdf` and `pdftk` commandlines will be logged to `SQL_LOG`_. Use this only to debug problems on download.

.. _REDIRECT_ALL_MAIL_TO:

Redirect all mail to (catch all)
--------------------------------

configuration_

* *redirectAllMailTo=john@doe.com*

  * During the development, it might be helpful to configure a 'catch all' email address, which QFQ uses as the final receiver
    instead of the original intended one.

  * The setting will:

    * Replace the 'To' with the configured one.
    * Clear 'CC' and 'Bcc'
    * Write a note and the original configured receiver at the top of the email body.

_`Mail Log page`

Mail Log page
-------------

For debugging purposes you may like to add a Mail Log page in the frontend.
The following QFQ code could be used for that purpose (put it in a QFQ PageContent element): ::

_`Form Submit Log page`

Form Submit Log page
--------------------

For debugging purposes you may like to add a Form Submit Log page in the frontend.
The following QFQ code could be used for that purpose (put it in a QFQ PageContent element): ::

    # Filters
    20.shead = <form onchange='this.submit()' class='form-inline'><input type='hidden' name='id' value='{{pageId:T0}}'>
    20 {
      sql = SELECT id, IF(id = '{{formId:SC0}}', "' selected>", "'>"), name
            FROM Form ORDER BY name
      head = <label for='formId'>Form:</label> <select name='formId' id='formId' class='form-control'><option value=0></option>
      tail = </select>
      rbeg = <option value='
      rend = </option>
    }
    30 {
      sql = SELECT feUser, IF(feUser = '{{feUser:SCE:alnumx}}', "' selected>", "'>"), feUser
            FROM FormSubmitLog GROUP BY feUser ORDER BY feUser
      head = <label for='feUser'>FE User:</label> <select name='feUser' id='feUser' class='form-control'><option value=''></option>
      tail = </select>
      rbeg = <option value='
      rend = </option>
    }
    30.stail = </form>

    # Show Log
    50 {
      sql = SELECT l.id,
          CONCAT('<b>Form</b>: ', f.name,
            '<br><b>Record Id</b>: ', l.recordId,
            '<br><b>Fe User</b>: ', l.feUser,
            '<br><b>Date</b>: ', l.created,
            '<br><b>Page Id</b>: ', l.pageId,
            '<br><b>Session Id</b>: ', l.sessionId,
            '<br><b>IP Address</b>: ', l.clientIp,
            '<br><b>User Agent</b>: ', l.userAgent,
            '<br><b>SIP Data</b>: <div style="margin-left:20px;">', "<script>var data = JSON.parse('", l.sipData,
              "'); for (var key in data) {
              document.write('<b>' + key + '</b>: ' + data[key] + '<br>'); }</script>", '</div>'),
          CONCAT("<script>var data = JSON.parse('", l.formData,
            "'); for (var key in data) {
              document.write('<b>' + key + '</b>: ' + data[key] + '<br>'); }</script>")
          FROM FormSubmitLog AS l
          LEFT JOIN Form AS f ON f.id = l.formId
          WHERE (l.formId = '{{formId:SC0}}' OR '{{formId:SC0}}' = 0)
            AND (l.feUser = '{{feUser:SCE:alnumx}}' OR '{{feUser:SCE:alnumx}}' = '')
          ORDER BY l.created DESC LIMIT 100
      head = <table class="table table-hover">
             <tr><th>Id</th><th style="min-width:250px;">Environment</th><th>Submitted Data</th>
      tail = </table>
      rbeg = <tr>
      renr = </tr>
      fbeg = <td>
      fend = </td>
    }

.. _variables:

Variable
========

Variables in QFQ are surrounded by double curly braces. Four different types of variable substitution functionality is
provided. Access to:

* `store-variables`_
* `sql-variables`_
* `row-column-variables`_
* `link-column-variables`_

Some examples, including nesting::

  # Store
  #---------------------------------------------
  {{r}}
  {{index:FS}}
  {{name:FS:alnumx:s:my default}}

  # SQL
  #---------------------------------------------
  {{SELECT name FROM person WHERE id=1234}}

  # Row columns
  #---------------------------------------------
  {{10.pId}}
  {{10.20.pId}}

  # Nesting
  #---------------------------------------------
  {{SELECT name FROM person WHERE id={{r}} }}
  {{SELECT name FROM person WHERE id={{key1:C:alnumx}} }} # explained below
  {{SELECT name FROM person WHERE id={{SELECT id FROM pf LIMIT 1}} }} # it's more efficient to use only one query

  # Link Columns
  {{p:form=Person&r=1|t:Edit Person|E|s AS link}}

Leading and trailing spaces inside curly braces are removed.

  * *{{ SELECT "Hello World"   }}* becomes *{{SELECT "Hello World"}}*
  * *{{ varname   }}* becomes *{{varname}}*

Types
-----

.. _`store-variables`:

Store variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Syntax:  *{{VarName[:<store / prio>[:<sanitize class>[:<escape>[:<default>]]]]}}*

* Example::

  {{pId}}
  {{pId:FSE}}
  {{pId:FSE:digit}}
  {{name:FSE:alnumx:m}}
  {{name:FSE:alnumx:m:John Doe}}

* Zero or more stores might be specified to be searched for the given VarName.
* If no store is specified, the by default searched stores are: **FSRVD** (=FORM > SIP > RECORD > VARS > DEFAULT).
* If the VarName is not found in one store, the next store is searched,  up to the last specified store.
* If the VarName is not found and a default value is given, the default is returned.
* If no value is found, nothing is replaced - the string '{{<VarName>}}' remains.
* If anywhere along the line an empty string is found, this **is** a value: therefore, the search will stop.

See also:

 * `store`_
 * `variable-escape`_
 * `sanitize-class`_


.. _`sql-variables`:

SQL variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* The detection of an SQL command is case *insensitive*.
* Leading  whitespace will be skipped.
* The following commands are interpreted as SQL commands:

  * SELECT
  * INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, REPLACE, TRUNCATE
  * SHOW, DESCRIBE, EXPLAIN, SET

* A SQL Statement might contain variables, including additional SQL statements. Inner SQL queries will be executed first.
* All variables will be substituted one by one from inner to outer.
* The number of variables inside an input field or a SQL statement is not limited.

Result: string
''''''''''''''

A result of a SQL statement will be imploded over all: concat all columns of a row, concat all rows - there is no
glue string.

Result: row
'''''''''''

A few functionalities needs more than a returned string, instead separate columns are necessary. To indicate an array
result, specify those with an '!': ::

   {{!SELECT ...}}

This manual will specify the individual QFQ elements, who needs an array instead of a string. It's an error to return
a string where an array is needed and vice versa.

Database index
''''''''''''''

To access different databases in a `multi-database`_  setup, the database index can be specified after the opening curly
braces. ::

	{{[1]SELECT ... }}

For using the indexData and indexQfq (configuration_), it's a good practice to specify the variable name
instead of the numeric index. ::

   {{[{{indexData:Y}}]SELECT ...}}

If no dbIndex is given, `{{indexData:Y}}` is used.


Example
'''''''

::

  {{SELECT id, name FROM Person}}
  {{SELECT id, name, IF({{feUser:T0}}=0,'Yes','No')  FROM Person WHERE id={{r:S}} }}
  {{SELECT id, city FROM Address AS adr WHERE adr.accId={{SELECT id FROM Account AS acc WHERE acc.name={{feUser:T0}} }} }}
  {{!SELECT id, name FROM Person}}
  {{[2]SELECT id, name FROM Form}}
  {{[{{indexQfq:Y}}]SELECT id, name FROM Form}}

.. _`row-column-variables`:

Row column variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Syntax:  *{{<level>.<column>}}*

Only used in report to access outer columns. See `access-column-values`_ and `syntax-of-report`_.

There might be name conflicts between VarName / SQL keywords and <line identifier>. QFQ checks first for '<level>',
than for 'SQL keywords' and than for 'VarNames' in stores.

All types might be nested with each other. There is no limit of nesting variables.

Very specific: Also, it's possible that the content of a variable is again (including curly braces) a variable - this
is sometimes used in text templates, where the template is retrieved from a record and
