TYPO3 Core

Same in 4.4-trunk

Related to #23580
Problem is difficult to solve: If the record is expanded, the button can easily trigger the click on the checkbox like before the IRRE records were made to only load on demand.
But if it is not expanded, clicking will have no effect.
I think i have a patch lying around that includes a hidden field for "hidden" (can't remember how far i went, but nowhere near "final"), but that creates other problems: If the hidden field is displayed in the IRRE record, the hidden "hidden" field should be removed.
Additionally: pageTS should be respected as well as exclude fields for the user.
Pretty difficult to solve...

Could the Hide/Unhide-Button do two things:
1. Toggle hidden-flag of record via ajax in DB
2. Toggle hidden-checkbox of form, but only if already loaded
Wouldn't this solve the problem ?

Problem with this solution would be consistency:
All operations on the IRRE records are done when saving the form. So using ajax would change that behavior dramatically.

To make it consistent: hide the "hidden" checkbox in IRRE records and
a) either only do it with ajax or
b) trigger a hidden field

My approach was, to render a hidden input and remove that field if the record is expanded. But now you get a problem, when the visibility is toggled in the meantime. Not very elegant...

Additionally: what do you do, if the checkbox is not rendered in the expanded record? Is there a way to check this (including TCA-types, pageTS, exclude fields)?

With b), we would "only" need to disable rendering of the "hidden" field in the record. Then every record that has a "hidden"-field gets a hidden input field, unless it is not somehow disabled, what should of course also affect the visibility / clickability of the button.

Forgot option c)
remove click function from the icon and only change visibility through checkbox
I fear c) will be the only solution for 4.4. For 4.5 i don't know if such a change can still go in.

Hi,

the issue is still there ;-) It's quite hard to explain editors why it does not work.

As a bugfix for existing branches I would remove the lamp from the bar. For 6.0 I would like to see the "IRRE bar" completely ajaxified,. Every action that is triggered by an icon in the bar has direct effect on the database. Why? Because the current behaviour to have to save any action is different for example from extended view in the list view. I know there is always a new page loaded, but that leads to state where another action has to be done. If I move an IRRE element I'd expect that this move is saved in the DB without hitting the disc icon.

Ciao,

One of the big problems with ajaxifying is, that it can only work for already saved elements.
Add a new IRRE record and none of it will work.

You can already remove the lamp icon with this in the appearance array in TCA:

'enabledControls' => array(
        'hide' => FALSE,
),

I just discovered a working patch on review.typo3.org connected to issue #34303.

Please test and review.
