Description

If you let "uploadfolder" empty in your TCA Settings. Like:
"movie" => Array (
"exclude" => 1,
"label" => "LLL:EXT:ext_collect/locallang_db.xml:tx_extcollect_movies.movie",
"config" => Array (
"type" => "group",
"internal_type" => "file",
"allowed" => "flv",
"max_size" => 500000,
"uploadfolder" => "",
"size" => 1,
"minitems" => 1,
"maxitems" => 1,
)
),

The selected File will not be copied. It stores only the absolute Path of the file (great!).
But after saving the record, the selector box shows the whole "long" path. The Filename isn't identifiable anymore. It would be great if the Filename apears insted of the "Upload" Fild, witch isn't used anymore.

This Feature is used by MailformPlus and some of my privat extensions... ;)

Uploaded a Patch: 6039.patch

If "uploadfolder" is emty, the Upload Field will be dropped and the stored path is relative to site root.

I'm not sure if the line:
$valueArray[$key] = substr($theFile, strpos($theFile, "fileadmin/"));
is a god solution... Is there a T3-Function for this issue?

Is this is a bug or a feature?

If it's a bug, please submit it to the core list so it can go to in the 4.2 release!

I also read through your patch (v2). Quite cool.

A couple of things to fix:

- Please create the patch located to the base directory of the SVN branch.
- Hunk #2: Please use curly braces around if statements
- Hunk #3: Curly braces here too would be nice. Also use single quotes : && $config['uploadfolder']!='')
- Hunk #5: could be written as
if (count($valueArray)) {
foreach ($valueArray as &$theFile) {
if (t3lib_div::isFirstPartOfStr($theFile,PATH_site)) {
$theFile = substr($theFile,strlen(PATH_site));
}
}
}

@Benjamin Fischer
Thanks for your hints. Liked the "foreach" one! ;)

I will report this "bug" to the list. It's e mix between a bug and a feature.
thumbnails and file references were not working with an emty "uploadfolder" option.

Uploaded new patch: 6039_v4_new_internal_type.patch

There are now 2 ways to have direct file references.

1st and better way
There is now a new internal_type for TCA->group called 'file_reference' it's almost a alias for 'file' with the difference that the option 'uploadfolder' is always ignored, so it's always a file reference.

2nd way (not so good)
internal_type 'file' with empty 'uploadfolder' Option. With this config the behavior is exactly the same like the internal_type 'file_reference'.

There is something missing in my patch!
Import data from a *.t3d file with TCA->group->internal_type 'file_reference' records or 'file' with empty 'uploadfolder' records is not working.

Import message (example):
[red]
fileadmin/user_upload/castTest/rechner.jpg, fileadmin/user_upload/castTest/verwaltung.jpg
[/red]
[green]
typo3temp/\imp9C.tmp, typo3temp/\imp9D.tmp
[/green]

which core files are responsible for import / export *.t3d ?

New patch: 6039_v5_with_impexp.patch

New with import / export support of group->file_reference fields.
Could someone of the core 'gurus' review this patch? ;)

There are still some minor flaws. The relative path for example, the path to the file is only identifiable if thumbnails are active for the file_reference field.

Merged 6039_v5.diff from Dimitry with 6039_v5_with_impexp.patch.

I've made also a BUGFIX! In 6039_v5_with_impexp.patch, some lines were outside a foreach loop. (only last selected file was converted to a relative path.)

Please don't use 6039_v5_with_impexp.patch!

I have tested the latest patch and it works like expected. IMHO it's really an important patch to get rid of the endless copying stuff in TYPO3.

Updated by Stefan Galinski over 15 years ago

I have uploaded the file "typo3_fileIntegrityCheckWithSupportOfDirectReferences.patch" which is a followup of the last patch. It contains a workaround for the database<->file references functions. This one has always reported any direct references to fileadmin files in the "missing files" section. You can find the corresponding backend function here: DB Check->Database Relations.

BTW: It's just a workaround, because the whole code of the file must be refactored.

Any news?

BTW: The following two typoscript lines are important to render images of tt_content elements in the frontend (if css_styed_content is used).

tt_content.textpic.20.imgPath < tt_content.image.20.imgPath
