TYPO3 Core

Warning: when using workspaces your content element may change their id. SO until that problem is solved this nice feature is dangerous.

To true, thank you Martin; haven't thought about that.

Maybe the patch might be of use for someone (like me atm) who doesn't need workspaces and therefore won't run into glitches.

Unfortunately I forgot two core config ext_tables files in the patch; please use ttcontent_shortcut-4.1.0RC2.patch2 if you're sure what you're doing instead.

[edit]: Where do I have my head? patch3 has still a small bug. Time for a fourth version...

One more addition: Having tested the patch while being logged in to the BE, I just recognized that it won't work properly without being logged in (t3lib_BEfunc not available).

So: a third version of the patch, which uses t3lib_pageselect::getRawRecord

The API tells that t3lib_pageselect::getRawRecord "applies version overlay"; I do not know if that might solve the uncertainty of a record uid moving between different workspaces.

Could anybody familar with the workspaces/versioning implementation comment, please?

Added patch for TYPO3 4.1.2: 5066_4.1.2.patch

Hey Ralf,

can you work on your patch to make it work with workspaces as well? Because then we could integrate it into the next version.

Hi Benjamin;

at the moment, I am a bit lacking of time admittedly. However, I will try to give this one some hours to work without any flaws for workspaces as well...

Hey Ralf,

any news here?

I should be able to have a look at this within the next two weeks.

Uploaded a version, which should be safe for workspaces.
I did some testing, but am not sure if I covered every scenario - so: please test.

Please use _v2 for testing; previous version lacks some references to the shortcut field and isn't compatible for pagetree icon titles in backend.

Hi there,
Can someone please update this extension in the Extension Repository?
Or create a new compressed extension .T3X file?
I will be using it for Typo3 versions 4.1.X and 4.2.x

I'm not able to patch extensions, only update them!
Kind regards and thanks in advance.

5066_trunk_v2.patch works fine with TYPO3 v4.3.0, except for multi language setups:
Selecting a page content element as shortcut target is not possible in other than the default language

Thanks Tobias for reporting back :)

It's true, that selecting content elements for multilang setups hasn't been on scope when I wrote the patch. So not too astonishing it doesn't work. I feel it shouldn't be to much work to get this in, but probably won't dig into this again until I need it; sorry.

Btw: Did you have the chance to play around with workspaces though?

It would be great to have this in - maybe even without multilang in the first step, but I haven't yet had a closer look if that might also be doable.
Thanks for working on this topic.

Added a patch on review.typo3.org to change this linking behavior.

Just for reference: https://review.typo3.org/3413
Might need to be split in separate patches though.

Why splitting? Isn't it only that one change?

Oh right. I just looked up the review-URL and had your patch for #15128 (somewhat related) in mind. This one looks small enough :-)
