Formhandler

It looks interesting to have that feature, indeed.

I assume key "translated_salutation" and "name" from your example are usable as marker in the template file and in the TS (e.g insertion in the database) as well.

Thanks for your work.

The modified values will be stored in $this->gp and therefore will be available in any other component called afterwards.
TypoScript will be a problem I guess, at least I don't know how it could be done.
Imagine:

config {
  user {
    to_name = TEXT
    to_name.data = GPVar:formhandler|name
  }
}

It would be really awesome to replace GPVar:[prefix]|[field] with values of the sanitized $this->gp and not of the unsanitized $_GET and $_POST.
But everytime Formhandler calls cObjGetSingle we would have to replace this values and don't even know where they are exactly:

# data
to_name = TEXT
to_name.data = GPVar:formhandler|name

# value
to_name = TEXT
to_name.data = GPVar:formhandler|name

# COA
to_name = COA
to_name.1 = TEXT
to_name.1.data = GPVar:formhandler|salutation
to_name.2 = TEXT
to_name.2.data = GPVar:formhandler|name

Do you have a solution for that?

I implemented the following:

initInterceptors {
  1.class = Interceptor_CombineFields
  1.config {
    combineFields {
      combined {
        fields {
          1 = name
          2 = company
        }
        seperator = ,
        hideEmptyValues = 0
      }
    }
  }
  5.class = Interceptor_TranslateFields
  5.config {
    translateFields {
      translated {
        # Key in locallang file. "|" will be replaced with the content of the given form field.
        langKey = label_salutation_|
        field = salutation
      }
    }
  }
}

What do you think?

I also thought about providing the ability to use the sanitized GET/POST values in TypoScript. I only came up with the idea to use new syntax and do some post processing in Formhandler.

Example:

user {
  to_email = email
  subject = TEXT
  subject.value = {formhandler:subject}
}

After calling cObjGetSingle on the TEXT object, we would have to replace all {formhandler:xyz} with the content of the according form field "xyz".
Therefore it would be nice to place all cObjGetSingle calls in a wrapper method in the StaticFuncs to have a single point in the code where the post processing happens.
Allthough I don't think this is the best solution, I wasn't able to find a better one. So please enlight me, if you come up with something else. :-)

Committed the 2 new interceptors to trunk.
Moved the issue about accessing $this->gp via TypoScript to a new issue (Issue #6421).
