Description

This used to be the case with type="inline". Here, the allowed file types were displayed in the form and in the link browser.

Reproduce

There is an example extension available to reproduce, was tested with v12 latest main:

https://github.com/sypets/sypets_example_inputlink

1. in Backend insert a plugin using the "Content element wizard" in tab plugins "InputLink plugin"
2. check out the fields in "plugin" tab and compare the behaviour of various types
3. Look at flexform file

Screenshot

in type="file" the allowed file extensions are displayed (as previously in "inline") in type="link" and renderType="linkType" not.

Versions

  • used latest v11 (11.5.22)
  • this can also be reproduced with v12, with type="link"

<settings.link>
  <TCEforms>
    <label>Link</label>
    <config>

Hi Sybille, which information, based on which config do you miss compared to previous versions?

I can't remember, renderType="inputLink" displayed any "allowed file types" in any previous TYPO3 version. Could it be, that this is actually a feature request?

Best, Oli

@Oliver thanks for the feedback.

bug or feature request is always a matter of perspective ;-)
I would like to leave that up to you as core developer.

Correct, that is not possible in inputLink. It affects inputLink and link types. But I changed my Flexform from type "inline" where the allowed file types were displayed.

For me, if this is classified as "feature", there won't be a chance to backport it to v11 (but that might also not be possible for patch of type bug).

I would expect the allowed file types to be displayed just like they are for type file / inline (in case files are selectable here).

I have this specific use case where I explicitly need a type="inputLink" or type="link" (type='file' does not suffice) and have been struggling to find a way to make it behave as intended (as described above). I was surprised that the allowed file types were not displayed. It would be nice to have that for better usability in the BE.

I have already looked in the code, but it looks a bit difficult. Specifically, how to reuse certain parts and behaviour.

For type=file, FilesControlContainer is used, which uses Fluid:

<f:if condition="{allowedFileTypes}">
<div class="help-block">
    <f:translate key="LLL:EXT:core/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_core.xlf:cm.allowedFileExtensions"/><br>
    <f:for each="{allowedFileTypes}" as="allowedFileType">
        <span class="badge badge-success">{allowedFileType}</span>
    </f:for>
</div>
</f:if>
