TYPO3 Core

The attached patch implements this for version 4.0.1.

Greets,

"startInTaskCenter" must be supported for backwards compatibility:

if (!$module) {
if ($BE_USER->uc['startModule']) {
$module = $BE_USER->uc['startModule'];
} elseif ($BE_USER->uc['startInTaskCenter']) {
$module = 'user_task';
}
}

I see. Why not solving this with the update wizard? I think that would be much cleaner.

Anyway, 3894b.diff contains your changes.

Hi,
first of all: nice work!

Some comments:
- at the line $module = 'user_task', the = was missing
- when the user saves the preferences the first time, the start page will be automatically set to the page module, even if it was the Help->About module before. I think it would be nicer to change this, as it might confuse users.
- Maybe you should change the dropdown like it is in the "Dropdown BE menu" (when you have the selector for the modules on top):
Web
- Page
- View
...

I am looking forward to seeing this in the core!

Greets, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

thank you. To your comments:

1) fixed
2) I can't reproduce this. I created a new user and the default module was 'help_aboutmodules' as usual. It was correctly selected in the list and it was still selected after saving.
3) see patch. The list is now rearranged. The main modules are inserted as disabled options. So we don't need any JavaScript for checking.

Hya,
2) - Use an already existing user, and clear the "uc" field in phpMyAdmin then. When you now log in with that user and go to user->setup, the "page" option is selected. Can you reproduce that?

Greets, Sebastian
PS: Great response time!

Hi Sebastian,

no, I can't reproduce this. The default module is always 'help_aboutmodules'.

..or a static HTML page. I mean, does this sound right that you need to make a BE module if you only want to show nice company logo page after login? :)

Hm,
I don't like the idea too much. I think that would be overkill at the moment.

Greets,
Thomas

@Sebastian Kurfuerst: Due to the fact that this problem occurs because you deinstalled the help sysext I don't think that is a real bug. It's a kind of not so nice behavior. As you already stated, 99% of all users will have this extension installed.
So for me this patch is final now.

Hi,

just want to know if you can confirm this:

1. select any start module and save
2. reload page
3. select another module in the left navigation frame

ta-daa:

the html of the left navigation frame is broken!

the table-row with the start module has lost it's class, which should be: c-subitem-row

(using 4.0.2)

@Marc: I can't imagine how should be produced by the patch. Have you applied any other patches?

Greets,
Thomas

@Thomas:

ahem... this has nothing to do with your patch... blush

I think this has something to do with the Javascript which restores the classes.

Marc

-------------------------------------------------------
Let's get dirty:

typo3/alt_main.php Line 295:

change

var currentlyHighLighted_restoreValue = "";

to

var currentlyHighLighted_restoreValue = "c-subitem-row";

This seems to work (as long as you have a submodule as start module).

Hi Sebastian,

can you please take care of this one? I think that would be a nice thing for 4.1 (or 4.0.3 maybe!?)

Greets from Karlsruhe,
Thomas

Isn't this feature implemented in typo3 4.1?

greets,
Frans

No. Unfortunately I didn't found the time to finish this. So it will be in 4.2 I guess because it's still "under construction" ;-)

Greets,
Thomas

Thomas: This should be at one of the top positions of your 'has to be done' list ;) I thought it would make it into the core for 4.1 too..
