TYPO3 Core

Just added a relation to bug #17119 because on fetching child data on demand and if there are RTE instances affected, the mentioned bug has to be fixed first.

I had the same problem - extremly slow loading of the edit form of my records (up to 50 seconds!). So I xclassed "t3lib_tceforms_inline" to do exactly what ist suggested above - loading all collapsed records dynamically only when they are expanded.

I just added the extension "cm_irre" to TER - should be available in the next hours. Feel free to try it out, feedback is welcomed.

+1 for the feature

Hi Harald,
would you like to make a patch to the core with such feature, maybe to add config key (appearance.ajaxLoad = 1) to inline type to triger such load. Also would be nice to add ajax loading gif like http://www.ajaxload.info/

I'll try to incorporate this with the new TCEforms.

+1 would be a great feature!

+1 would love this feature.

I tried the cm_irre extension but it does not work :( The form loads much faster but when I try to unfold an inline record I get a Javascript error ($(objectId + "_fields") is null, jsfunc.inline.js (Zeile 31)). Mabe this is because the naming of the elements changed due to bug #0012152.

I can confirm that extension does't work on trunk any more.
IMHO this extension should be integrated in core and AJAX loading with IRRE should work by default, it is only way to use IRRE when number of inline records getting big or when inline records are heavy (many fields, subsequent IRRE records etc).

As the cm_irre extension no longer works with Typo3 4.3+, I packed the functionality into a patch.
Please try the file attached to this tread - feedback is welcomed.

I just added the above suggested feature to make the ajax-based loading configurable, new patch file is bug5500_configurable.diff

Ajax-loading is ON by default, to disable it for a specific item you can now use appearance.ajaxLoad = 0 in TCA.

Thanks for the patch Harald! It seem to work quite good but I have one issue with the expandSinge configuration.

When I expand a second inline element, the first one doesn't get collapsed. When I click on the first one twice, the second one collapses as the first one expands.

At some point, the whole system doesn't work any more. When I click on an element, that wasn't opened before, nothing happens (not even a javascript error).

Tested with Firefox 3.57 in Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)

Hi Harald, thanks for the patch. It works well except IRRE records with tabs - they do not expand, though AJAX data being properly transffered (checked by sniffing traffic) and no JS errors. I checked in FF 3.0.17

Hi & thanks for your feedback.
I'm sorry that I didn't find time to correct the patch earlier...

Attached is an updated version. The following problems should be solved:
- loading of IRRE items with tabs
- corrected expandSingle behaviour
- added loading-indicator icon
- changed hardcoded typo3/ to TYPO3_mainDir

Hi Harald,
thank you very much for the new patch. I tested the new expandSingle behaviour and it seems to work like a charm :)

Hi Harald,
I had issue with IRRE elements where expandSingle was not set. I did correct that and uploaded patch in core list in your RFC thread.
