Bug #29893
closed
Moving more than 1 inline record messes up the DB
0%
Description
I have a few staff records, in them I have 1-n departments
I edit one of them and add a new department, before saving I reorganize it to be positioned not at the end of the list of previous departements but in between => OK, WORKING!
When I edit existing staff and reorganize existing departments, NO PROBLEM
When I edit one of my staff, I create at least 2 (!) new departments and reorganize them BEFORE saving, then I get a big mess, actually not totally ! If my staff has in the end M departments, then the M first departments (seems so, ordered by uid) have the staff column (foreign_field) used as sortby column and got a sorting value that seems to start at 2^(count of departments in my table), but only the M first departments are affected

TCA for staff:
'departments' => array(
'exclude' => 0,
'label' => 'Departments',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'inline',
'foreign_table' => 'tx_staffdirectory_departments',
'foreign_field' => 'staff',
'foreign_sortby' => 'sorting',
'maxitems' => 99,
'appearance' => array(
'collapse' => 0,
'useSortable' => 1,
'newRecordLinkPosition' => 'bottom',
),
)
),
TCA for department:
'staff' => array(
'config' => array(
'type' => 'passthrough',
)
),
Can reproduce with 4.5.6 and master

OK. After investigation I found the setting that causes this bug.
I had this in my ext_tables.php file:
$TCA['tx_staffdirectory_departments'] = array(
'ctrl' => array(
// ...
'default_sortby' => 'ORDER BY staff, position_title',
'sortby' => 'staff',
The 'sortby' clauses (here 'staff') is different from the inline definition ('foreign_sortby' => 'sorting'.
I could not determine where exactly this is used (I first thought of line 649, method writeForeignField of t3lib_loaddbgroup) but it's seems this is somewhere else.
Removing this sortby clause in ext_tables.php solves the bug.

Hi,
as this issue is very old. Does the problem still exists within newer versions of TYPO3 CMS (6.2.7)?

I guess no, never had any feedback on it and not involved in the corresponding project. Must have been fixed by an intermediate release.
Thanks for asking.
