TYPO3 Core

Maybe it would be much easier to add an option "read-only" to the TCA (which displays every field as simple text) than adding a complete new fieldtype!?
At least this would be much more flexible...

I will have a look on this and try to provide a patch the next days if noone provides such a patch earlier. ;-)

The type you want is already there. It's called "none".

see: TYPO3 Core APIs / ['columns'][fieldname]['config'] / TYPE: "none"

The type lacks currently any formatting options.

Is type "none" enought for you? Can we close this bug?

Anyway you can even render a field yourself (type "user").

"none" is not ok, as the formating is missing. I was thinking of an read only html form field

Ischmittis, did you bother to read the documentation of type "none"?

http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/doc_core_api/columns_fieldnam-7/

(see "TYPO3 Core APIs")

Yep: Type "none" is lacking of formating (e.g. Timestamps, double)..

You said you wanted an "html form field", which I interpreted as INPUT (type="text) or TEXTAREA.

But you are right formatting is missing. I have posted on the dev-list ("RFE: formatting for TCA-type "none") but got no response :-(

What I proposed was a new config property "format". The value of it is a format keyword followed by a format option.

Examples for possible formats:

date,<date() opts>
time,<strftime() opts>
number,<sprintf() opts>
user,<userfunc>,<opts>

For compatibilty with the "eval" config:

date: without format defaults to d-m-Y
time: without format defaults to mm:hh

datetime: no format, always mm:hh d-m-Y
timesec: no format, always mm:hh:ss

md5: no format, md5-hash of contents

The md5 format can be used to check wether the contents is the same without compromising the content itself.

In CVS there are now new rendering options.

Please grab a fresh copy from CVS (or use Bernhard Kraft's nighlies) and have a look at class.t3lib_tceforms.php to see if the new render options solve your problem.

Hi!

Didi you try the new options of type="none"? They were included in beta3.

Testing beta3 with commerce needs much time, since there are realy some new bugs. I'll test next week, also Patch from Rene with readonly

Solution is fine with me, everything is working as expected

I'm closing the bug. If there are requests for further enhancements or issues with the existing ones new bugs should be filed.
