Description

Description

Works

TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.myextbaseext_pi.sDEF.title = New title
TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.myextbaseext_pi.sDEF.switchableControllerActions.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.myextbaseext_pi.sDEF.switchableControllerActions.label = New label
TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.myextbaseext_pi.sDEF.switchableControllerActions.removeItems = Object->View

Doesn't work due to removeDotsFromTS in modifyFlexFormDS (t3lib/tceforms/class.t3lib_tceforms_flexforms.php)

TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.myextbaseext_pi.sDEF.settings.firstsetting.label = New label

Doesn't work due to violation of TS-syntax (duh ;))

TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.myextbaseext_pi.sDEF.switchableControllerActions.addItems.Object->action = Actionname

Problems

  1. Due to the removal of dots in TSconfig Extbase FF-fields (which normally use the format settings.settingsname) those fields cannot be overriden with (Page) TSconfig.
  2. Due to the format of the value field of switchableControllerActions-items (Object->action) no items can be added

Possible solution

Problem 1 (hackish, I know)

- Use special format in TSconfig (_settings_ in stead of settings.):

TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.myextbaseext_pi.sDEF._settings_firstsetting.label = New label
TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.myextbaseext_pi.sDEF._settings_firstsetting.removeItems = itemvalueA

- Add this code in t3lib/tceforms/class.t3lib_tceforms_flexforms.php, line 95+ (just after $sheetConf = t3lib_div::removeDotsFromTS(...);)
    // Replace _settings_ by settings. for Extbase Flexforms
    foreach($sheetConf as $sheetName => $sheetArray) {
        foreach($sheetArray as $fieldName => $fieldArray) {
            if (t3lib_div::isFirstPartOfStr($fieldName, '_settings_')) {
                $newFieldName = str_replace('_settings_', 'settings.', $fieldName);
                $sheetConf[$sheetName][$newFieldName] = $fieldArray;
                unset($sheetConf[$sheetName][$fieldName]);
            }
        }
    }

Problem 2 (hackish too)

- Use special format in TSconfig (_Object_Action in stead of Object->):

TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.myextbaseext_pi.sDEF.switchableControllerActions.addItems._Object_action = Actionname

- Extend the code of solution 1 to ...
    // Replace _settings_ by settings. for Extbase Flexforms
    foreach($sheetConf as $sheetName => $sheetArray) {
        foreach($sheetArray as $fieldName => $fieldArray) {
            if (t3lib_div::isFirstPartOfStr($fieldName, '_settings_')) {
                $newFieldName = str_replace('_settings_', 'settings.', $fieldName);
                $sheetConf[$sheetName][$newFieldName] = $fieldArray;
                unset($sheetConf[$sheetName][$fieldName]);
            } else if ($fieldName === 'switchableControllerActions' && array_key_exists('addItems', $fieldArray)) {
                foreach($fieldArray['addItems'] as $addItemValue => $addItemLabel) {
                    $newAddItemValue = preg_replace('/\_([^\_]*)\_(.*)/', '$1->$2', $addItemValue);
                    $sheetConf[$sheetName][$fieldName]['addItems'][$newAddItemValue] = $addItemLabel;
                    unset($sheetConf[$sheetName][$fieldName]['addItems'][$addItemValue]);
                }
            }
        }
    }

Conclusion

I guess the Extbase FF overrides in TSconfig needs some more thinking to solve permanently.

Since I found this issue too late I developed a simpler approach:

I allow the escaping of dots in TypoScript keys:

my\.escapted\.key = test

It is much easier to realize and maybe has less side effects? The required patch is attached.

I've tried your patch with an extension but no success:

TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.extension_pi1.sDEF.settings\.flexform\.foo\.bar.disabled = 1

Any Idea why?

Actions #38

Updated by Alexander Stehlik over 10 years ago

Hmm, this is strange.

I'm heavily using this setting in a project and it works without problems. Did you use the patch from the review system? The latest patch is containing my version and should work in TYPO3 6.2.

This is an example Page TSConfig configuration I'm using for the news Extension:

TCEFORM {
    tt_content {
        pi_flexform {
            news_pi1 {
                sDEF {
                    settings\.orderBy.disabled = 1
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The attached screenshot shows how the Info module in the Backend should display the Page TSConfig (with the dot inside the key):

I hope this helps. Otherwise I would need some more information (e.g. some real example code that you are using).

@Artus: sorry, it seems that the mixed key with escaped and unescaped dots was the problem. I didn't get that. The new patch should fix that issue.

@Lorenz: Thank you for the clarification :)

Thank you all for your feedback (in the review system). I'm answering here because of the better formatting possibilities :)

Of course escaping Backslashes should be possible. The question is: Do we only handle escaped backslashes in front of dots? This would be a bit inconsistent but less code needs to be changed on the user's / integrator's side. E.g. this code works with the current version:

plugin.tx_myext.persistence.classes {
    Tx\MyExt\Domain\Model\Mymodel {
        ...
    }
}

What would happen with the above code? Are the slashes just stripped out because they are not escaped? Or do we leave them untouched (which I would prefer).

The easiest approach would be to just modify two backslashes in front of a dot:

my\.escaped\.key = string

results in

my.escaped.key = string
my\\.escaped\\.key  = string

results in

my\ {
    escaped\ {
        key {
            ...
        }
    }
}

but

My\Slashed\Key = string

will stay as it is:

My\Slashed\Key = string

Would be great to get some thoughts on this.

  • Is Regression set to No

Full Ack! +1

Exactly what I thought. To keep necessary changes as low as possible, only touch backslashes before dots.

To which documentation do he have to add that? Inside TYPO3, TSref??

Actions #46

Updated by Alexander Stehlik about 10 years ago

OK, thank you :) I'll look into it.

What about TypoScript Syntax and In-depth Study for the documentation?
