Exam dates from TUMonline

This page describes the specific procedure for embedding a list of an institution's examination dates from TUMonline into a TYPO3 page using the CurlContent extension.

The list displays current and upcoming examination dates, along with the corresponding course names, sorted by date, and provides a link to detailed information on TUMonline for each examination.

Preparation: Obtaining the Organization ID from TUMonline

Before you can embed TUM MemberList, you need the Organization ID of your organizational unit (referred to in TUMonline as “pOrgNr” or “PORGNR”).

1. Go to TUMonline. Important: Make sure you are not logged in.
2. Click “People and Responsibilities”.
3. Search for the desired organizational unit and click its name.
4. Copy the ID that follows pOrgNr= or PORGNR= from the URL in your browser’s address bar.

Embedding exam dates - step by step

1. Open the Page module and select the target page.
2. Click “+ Create content” → “Special” section → “Insert Plugin”.
3. In the “Plugin” field, select “CurlContent”.
4. In the “Data source” tab, choose “TUMonline: Exam dates (pOrgNr)” under “URL preset”.
5. Enter the previously noted Organization ID in the “Parameters for preset” field.
6. In the “Processing” tab, select “TUMonline: Exam dates” under “XSL File”.
7. Save the content element.

Additional option: XSL parameters

The following parameter is available in the "Parameters for this XSL file" field:

Parameter	Description	Default	Example
lvnr	Display the course number in addition to the course title	0 (disabled)	lvnr=1

Update caching

As with all CurlContent applications, the data is automatically refreshed from TUMonline every 10 days by default.

To force an immediate update, use the lightning bolt icon (“Clear cache for this page”). This clears the page cache and immediately retrieves the latest publication data from mediaTUM.

English version

The CurlContent element must also be translated for the English page, just like any other content element.

1. In the Page module, switch to the Languages view.
2. Click “Translate” for the CurlContent element.
3. The English copy automatically inherits the Organization ID and parameters. No further translation is required, as the examination dates are retrieved directly from TUMonline.
4. Enable the English element (turn its visibility on).
