TYPO3 Core

Hi Tolleiv,

I'd love to - but I'm afraid that I am too far away from that topic. Especially because I haven't followed the development in this core area since 4.2.

I'm sure, a lot has changed since then, no? Maybe anybody else willing to tackle this who is more into versioning / workspaces?

This bug is a problem of two parts:

1.) The correct url for preview of singleview records like tt_news are only generated if the record was NOT created in the workspace. Have a look into class.tx_ttnews_tcemain.php:

if (isset($GLOBALS['_POST']['_savedokview_x']) && !$fieldArray['type'] && !$GLOBALS['BE_USER']->workspace) {

Here you have to remove the workspace part

if (isset($GLOBALS['_POST']['_savedokview_x']) && !$fieldArray['type']) {

First now, the pid of the news record will be converted to the pid of the singleview

2.) The new workspacing module can only work with pages. There is no part in the sourcecode to add the needed extension query to the uri like tx_ttnews[tt_news]=9:

$viewDomain = t3lib_BEfunc::getViewDomain($this->pageId);
$wsBaseUrl =  $viewDomain . '/index.php?id=' . $this->pageId . '&L=' . $language;

As you can see: Only the pid will be added to the new uri. I have changed this part to:

$getParams = $_GET;
$getParams['id'] = $this->pageId;
$getParams['L'] = $language;
unset($getParams['tx_workspaces_web_workspacesworkspaces']);
unset($getParams['M']);
$wsBaseUrl =  $viewDomain . '/index.php?' . http_build_query($getParams, '', '&');

With help of this modification we are now able to create a dynamically uri. Regardless of the used extension.
Have fun with it.

I just did some testing within the original Introduction Package of 6.1.7 together with news (the singlePid is configured in the page TS config of the folder containing the news records).

It still feels like a bug to me. Testing results as follows.

LIVE workspace¶

Edited a news record, hit "Save and View" button. Leads to a success: The news will be shown in FE on its configured detail page in full detail view.

URL: http://t3intro61.local/index.php?id=23&no_cache=1&tx_news_pi1[controller]=News&tx_news_pi1[action]=detail&tx_news_pi1[news]=4

DRAFT workspace¶

Edited a news record, hit "Save and View" button. Leads to failure: Somehow the configured page is called (PID 23) but it won't show the detail view of the news. In case of the intro package it shows the list view which is on the same page.

Test performed with version 9.5.14 and EXT:news 7.3.1

1) Use a "news configuration" with:

• List page "News"
• Detail page "Detail"
• a Sysfolder "News Recipient"

2) Configure a "Draft" workspace
3) Create a news item in the sysfolder, name it "test" and write in it some text
4) switch to Draft workspace > edit the news item "test" and change the text
5) Go to the "News" page and preview it

Results¶

1) the "Preview" of the draft workspace is visible
2) clicking on the news title on the list you go to the detail page still in preview mode, so the modified version in workspace is visible
3) if I go to workspace module > news page and click on "generate page preview link" a preview link for the list page is generated; in this case only the list page is the one on the preview version; clicking on the news title will go to the detail page on the live version

it is possible to add the following page TSConfig to activate the "preview" button on the news record inside the sysfolder (123= ID of the detail page)

TCEMAIN.preview {
        tx_news_domain_model_news {
                useCacheHash = 1
                previewPageId = 123
                useDefaultLanguageRecord = 0
                fieldToParameterMap {
                        uid = tx_news_pi1[news_preview]
                }
                additionalGetParameters {
                        tx_news_pi1.controller = News
                        tx_news_pi1.action = detail
                }
        }
}

In this case, if you are in the Draft workspace, the modified version of the record in workspace is visible, too

I have not found a method to generate a preview link on the news record for people outside the CMS
