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 `pdfunite`.
* Convert of images to PDF files - command `img2pdf`.
* PDF decrypt (used for merge with pdfunite) - command `qpdf`.
* PDF decrypt (used for merge with pdfunite) - command `gs` - in case `qpdf` is not successful.
* Mime type detection for uploads - command `file`.

* Split PDF into JPG - command `convert`.
* Repair PDF - command `pdftocairo`.

Report & Form
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To normalize UTF8 input, *php-intl* package is needed by
* normalizer::normalize()
For the :ref:`download` function, the programs `img2pdf`, `pdfunite`, `qpdf`, `gs` and `file` are necessary to concatenate PDF files.
Preparation for Ubuntu::
sudo apt install php-intl
# for file upload, PDF and 'HTML to PDF' (wkhtmltopdf), PDF split
sudo apt install poppler-utils libxrender1 file pdf2svg qpdf ghostscript img2pdf

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 :ref:`configuration` specify::
config.cmdWkhtmltopdf: /opt/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf
config.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::
config.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::
``[FE][lockIP] = 0`` 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 :ref:`configuration` `showDebugInfo = download` to debug.
.. note::
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! Verify the correct loading of all elements
by calling the site via a regular browser and bypassing any browser cache (Ctrl F5).
.. note::
On Ubuntu, Apache is started by default with `LANG=C`. This is true even when the OS default locale is set to `en_US.UTF-8`.
Furthermore, all child processes of Apache will inherit `LANG=C`. Some PHP functions (like 'escapeshellarg()')
or `wkhtml` will strip all non-ASCII characters (e.g. commandline arguments).
Let Apache run with the system locale: `/etc/apache/envvars`, activate the line `. /etc/default/locale` and restart Apache.
Checklist wkhtml problems
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
* `config.baseUrl` is configured and correct. The baseUrl has to be the same protocol as the website (http or https).
* To track down problems:
* In :ref:`configuration` set `debug.showDebugInfo=auto,download`.
* Do the download.
* Check :ref:`QFQ_LOG` for any output.
* Grab the URL given in the :ref:`QFQ_LOG`, open a browser in private mode (no existing browser session) and open the URL.
* Check the `--cookie-jar '/tmp/qfq.cookie....'` file for the cookie.
* Call wkhtml manually on the webserver, with the same options as given in the :ref:`QFQ_LOG`.
HTML to PDF conversion
""""""""""""""""""""""
`wkhtmltopdf` converts a website (local or remote) to a (multi)-page PDF file. It's mainly used in :ref:`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/Classes/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/Classes/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 `fileadmin/protected/qfqProject/log/mail.log` and handles attachments
via commandline options. A basic HTML email support is implemented.
**NOTE**: The `log` directory has been moved into `qfqProject` with a recent upgrade of QFQ. For backwards compatibility logs are still stored in `fileadmin/protected/log/` if that directory already exists.

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 :ref:`sendEmailProblem`.
The Typo3 sendmail eco-system is not used at all by QFQ.
.. _`thumbnail`:
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: :ref:`column-thumbnail`.
Setup
-----
* Install the extension via the Extension Manager.
* 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: 18.12.0).
* If the Extension Manager stops after importing: check your memory limit in php.ini.
* Copy/rename the file *<site path>/fileadmin/protected/qfqProject/conf/example.qfq.json* to *<site path>/fileadmin/protected/qfqProject/conf/qfq.json*.
Configure the necessary settings :ref:`configuration`
The configuration file is outside of the extension directory, to not loose it during de-install and install again.

* When the QFQ Extension is called the first time on the Typo3 frontend, the file *<ext_dir>/Classes/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.

FormEditor
----------
Setup a *report* to manage all *forms*:
* Create a Typo3 page.
* Set the 'URL Alias' to `form` (recommended) or the individual defined value in parameter `editFormPage` (configuration_).
* Insert a content record of type *qfq*.

.. _install-checklist:
Installation: 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/qfqProject/log/...` is the default place for QFQ log files.
* 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.
.. _configuration:
Configuration
-------------
.. _qfq-project-path-php:
qfq.project.path.php
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The file `qfq.project.path.php` provides the path to the qfqProject directory.
* The qfqProject directory contains the qfq configuration file (see :ref:`qfq.json`) as well as forms and reports which
are saved as files. See :ref:`formAsFile` and :ref:`reportAsFile`.
* The file `qfq.project.path.php` is located/created in the root directory of the application. (Where index.php is located)
* This file only returns the path to the qfq project directory where logs, config (`qfq.json`), report files and form files are located.
* If the file does not exist, it is created and the project path is set as follows:
* Does the deprecated config file typo3conf/config.qfq.php exist? Then set the qfq project path to `fileadmin/protected/qfqProject` (config is migrated automatically to qfqProject).
* If not, does `fileadmin/protected exist`? Then set the qfq project path to `fileadmin/protected/qfqProject`.
* If not, then set qfq project path to `../` (i.e. outside the app directory where index.php is located)
Example: *typo3conf/config.qfq.php*: ::
<?php
/**
QFQ project path configuration
!! ATTENTION !!: The files in the project directory should NOT be served by your http server!
Only exception: The app directory inside the project directory may be served.
*/
return 'fileadmin/protected/qfqProject'; // path relative to app directory (i.e. location of this file).
.. _qfq.json:
qfq.json
^^^^^^^^
* Additionally to the keywords bellow one can also override the configuration values defined in the Typo3 extension manager: :ref:`extension-manager-qfq-configuration`
* e.g. if `qfq.json` contains `"flagProduction":"no"` then this value is taken instead of the one set in the extension manager.

After parsing the configuration, the following variables will be set automatically in STORE_SYSTEM:
+-------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Keyword | Description |
+===============================+====================================================================================================================================+
| dbNameData | Name of the 'data'-database. '{{dbNameData:Y}} |
+-------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| dbNameQfq | Name of the 'QFQ'-database. '{{dbNameQfq:Y}} |
+-------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| dbNameT3 | Name of the 'T3'-database. '{{dbNameT3:Y}} |
+-------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| sitePath | Absolute path of the current T3 instance. '{{sitePath:Y}} |
+-------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| extPath | Absolute path of the QFQ extension. '{{extPath:Y}} |
+-------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
.. _`CustomVariables`:
Custom variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Up to 30 custom variables can be defined in :ref:`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 :ref:`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 :ref:`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 :ref:`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('p:{{pageAlias:T}}&periodId=', {{periodId:SY0}}-1, '|Next') AS _page, ' ', name, ' ',
CONCAT('p:{{pageAlias: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 QFQ database of at least: SELECT / INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE / SHOW.
* to the Typo3 database of at least table `tt_content` with SELECT.

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 the php.ini settings for `session.cookie_lifetime` and `session.gc_maxlifetime`
(minimum of both). 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.
.. _`removeFormBackupCron`:
Cron Job: Remove Form Backup Files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following cron job may be used to automatically remove form backup files (see :ref:`formAsFile`) which are older than 31 days. Be sure to adjust the path accordingly: ::
0 19 * * * find /var/www/html/fileadmin/protected/qfqProject/form/.backup/ -type f -mtime +31 -exec rm {} \;
