TYPO3 Core

Context¶

The introduction of the new TCA type "file" brought several refactorings.
During the refactorings, the following line of code was removed:

$config['inline']['inlineNewRelationButtonStyle'] = 'display: none;';

Issue¶

Now, when using inline relations, the maxitems value is not considered when showing the button. It is now always shown, even when no new records can be added.

Considering this example:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['columns']['myext_field'] = [
    'label' => 'Test',
    'config' => [
        'type' => 'inline',
        'maxitems' => 2,
        'foreign_table' => 'myext_table',
         'foreign_table_field' => 'tablenames',
         'foreign_field' => 'uid_foreign',
         'foreign_label' => 'uid_local',
         'foreign_match_fields' => [
             'fieldname' => 'myext_field'
         ],
        'foreign_selector' => 'uid_local',
        'foreign_sortby' => 'sorting_foreign',
    ]
];

Defining foreign_selector will render the relations view and make the records selectable via the relation wizard.
The "Add relation" button however is no longer hidden, when "maxitems" is reached. This is only the case for the non-relation way.

Suggested Fix¶

Restoring line 282.
