Description

When using a FORM cObject, "current" value and "field" data is not visible inside the FORM object.

The following minimal code example illustrates the issue. Outside the FORM cObject, both {GP: test} and {field: test} are visible. However inside the FORM element, only {GP: test} is visible. Apparently this information is not passed on.

lib.testForm = COA
lib.testForm {

  20 = TEXT
  # This works.
  20.data = GP : test
  20.wrap = <p>GP: |</p>

  30 = TEXT
  # And this works.
  30.data = field : test
  30.wrap = <p>Field: |</p>

  40 = FORM
  40 {
    30 = TEXT
    # This also works.
    30.data = GP : test
    30.wrap = GP: |

    40 = TEXT
    # This does not work.
    40.data = field : test
    40.wrap = Field: |
  }
}

This is the output of above typoscript:

<p>GP:31</p>
<p>Field:42</p>
<form action="test/test.html" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
  <ol>
    <li class="csc-form-5 csc-form-element csc-form-element-content">GP:31</li>
    <li class="csc-form-6 csc-form-element csc-form-element-content">Field:</li>
  </ol>
</form>

As far as I can tell, the issue is that start($data, $table) is not called when creating the ContentObjectRenderer in \TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Factory\TypoScriptFactory.

    protected function getLocalConentObject() {
        if (!isset($this->localContentObject)) {
            $this->localContentObject = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance('TYPO3\\CMS\\Frontend\\ContentObject\\ContentObjectRenderer');
            $this->localContentObject.start($data, $table); // This line is missing.
        }
        return $this->localContentObject;
    }

The indicated statement is missing. However I don't know where $data and $table should come from.

Franz, what could be the context/ scope of the query? You want to get the information stored inside the field "test". But to which table does this field belong to? pages, tt_content? IMHO this cannot work since there is no scope. But do you expect by using the field parameter?

Uhm, unfortunately I'm not sure what I was up to a year ago. Neither do I remember where I tested this minimal example. The particular test installation is probably long gone.

Maybe it was supposed to access a field of the page record? Or maybe from the content object?

So I'd like to close this issue. You can open a new one, if you encounter the issue again. Is that ok for you?

I still think it would be a worthwhile feature if one could create and/or pre-fill form fields dynamically. However I don't use built-in forms anymore (for this very reason among others) and thus don't care. I'm fine with you closing the issue.

I've analyzed the issue. There are some things to know and take care of.

  • Building the form with the wizard does not allow you to insert cObjects. In this context cObjects are not rendered in the frontend.
  • Building the form with TypoScript outside of the wizard/ bodytext context cObjects are possible.

The following snippet works as expected:


lib.formPid5 = COA
lib.formPid5 {
    10 = FORM
    10 {
        prefix = formPid5
        class = formPid5

        10 = FIELDSET
        10 {
            10 = TEXTLINE
            10 {
                name = name
                label.value.data = LLL:EXT:reports/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:mlang_labels_tablabel
            }
        }

        20 = TEXT
        20.data = GP:test
        20.wrap = <p>GP:|</p>

        30 = CONTENT
        30 {
            table = tt_content
            select {
                pidInList = 5
                orderBy = sorting
            }
        }
    }
}

Your above mentioned code is not working since the context is missing inside the form. You have to use a different cObject to render specific content stored in tables like pages or tt_content.


40 = TEXT
# This does not work.
40.data = field : test
40.wrap = Field: |
