TYPO3 Core

I've tested this issue again in a fresh installed TYPO3 Backend (Ver. 4.3.1).
I've created a new alternative page language in the Draft system-workspace and tried to swap the versions.
after i have clicked the swap-button the page is deleted.

I have fixed the bug.
In /t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php on line 4730 the "transOrigPointerField" will be kept.
That's ok if it's the l18n_parent field, but for the "pages_language_overlay" table is it the "pid"-Field.
If you publish/swap a page overlay record, the pid field will always change to -1.

so I have changed the if-construct from:

if ($TCA[$table]['ctrl']['transOrigPointerField'])
to:
if ($TCA[$table]['ctrl']['transOrigPointerField'] && $table != 'pages_language_overlay')
or to:
if ($TCA[$table]['ctrl']['transOrigPointerField']!='pid')

I think both ways should work.

I can confirm this. It's 100% reproducable here and is giving my editors a hard time.

Confirmed that the problem exists with 4.3.2

Uploaded patch 13075-versionswap-alternativepage.patch fixing the issue against the TYPO3_4-3 branch.

I have the same Issue on 4.3.3 dev!
This should be a Major issue since content gets lost!

I'm also seeing this issue on 4.3.2. Upon publishing changes to the page overlay pid field in pages_language_overlay changes to -1 instead of the correct page id and thus content vanishes from view.

The patch 13075-versionswap-alternativepage.patch solved the issue on 4.3.2.

The pathc worked for me on 4.3.2. Thank you very much.
But:
on 4.3.3 this problem occurs again. I think the patch does not work there.

this is a duplicate of #13818 which is already pending in the core-list and waiting for review

Confirmed that the patch 13075-versionswap-alternativepage.patch still successfully fixes the issue against Typo3 4.3.3

Confirming the patch to also work with 4.3.0.
This issue should probably be labeled as major.

Hi guys,

please have a look at the thread for #13818 in Core List!

Tolleiv already posted his patch there. But it will not be integrated if not anyone gives his +1 on reading and testing.
