Feature #17434
closed
Allow more than one parent field pointing to the same children table with foreign_field
0%
Description
The following field configuration of a parent record in TCE is currently not possible:
'columns' => array(
'firstchildren' => array(
'config' => array(
'type' => 'inline',
'foreign_table' => 'tx_myext_child',
'foreign_field' => 'parent',
),
),
'secondchildren' => array(
'config' => array(
'type' => 'inline',
'foreign_table' => 'tx_myext_child',
'foreign_field' => 'parent',
),
),
),
The reason is, that with foreign_field the children are selected by the table and the uid in the field 'parent'. Thus, the children are not identified to with field in the parent record they belong.
The feature request is to have a new TCA property likle 'foreign_fieldfield' that defines a field on the child side storing the fieldname of the parent record creating the child.
The attached extension "test_required" reproduces this behaviour.

+1!
This behaviour limits the reusability of child tables drastically.
If someone points me in the right directioin I would be willing to fix this, can't be that hard.

I don't see the point.
Why do you use
'foreign_field' => 'parent',
for both of the fields?
I would propose to use
'foreign_field' => 'parent',
for the first field,
and use
'foreign_field' => 'daddy',
for the second field.
Of course, the child table would have to contain both fields "parent" and "daddy", but what's the problem? If that doesn't work - well, that's a bug. But conceptionally, I don't see why it should be possible to link to the same child table using the same parent pointer field twice!

Hi,
as this issue is very old. Is this feature missing in newer versions of TYPO3 CMS (6.1)?
