TYPO3 Core

this is also a problem within a command controller.

Hi Simon,

You need to use your own FileReference object that implements setOriginalResource() like described above.

$fileReference = $this->objectManager->get('MyVendor\\MyExtension\\Domain\\Model\\FileReference');
$fileReference->setOriginalResource($file);

And can you post the TCA here. Maybe we can spot the error.

gr. Frans

I have also an empty File Reference in the database :/
File is filled
File Reference has only a filled uid_local (also uid, tstamp and crdate).

My TCA is like the one of Helmuts example.

My only differents is, that i use 6.1(.8)

You need at least 6.2 to get this to work.

Thank you Frans, for me it works perfectly with an own FileReference.

Take a look into https://github.com/helhum/upload_example!

Just define in your own FileReference a property uidLocal. That's it.

class FileReference extends \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference {

    /**
     * We need this property so that the Extbase persistence can properly persist the object
     *
     * @var integer
     */
    protected $uidLocal;

    /**
     * @param \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\FileReference $originalResource
     */
    public function setOriginalResource(\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\FileReference $originalResource) {
        $this->originalResource = $originalResource;
        $this->uidLocal = $originalResource->getOriginalFile()->getUid();
    }

}

What am i doing wrong? I've used an own FileReference object extended as described above and mapped it to sys_file_reference. But i get the following error:

#1: PHP Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 1 passed to XXX\YYY\Domain\Model\FileReference::setOriginalResource() must be an instance of TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\FileReference, instance of TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File given, called in /zzz/AnyController.php...

Today i ran into the same problem and i finally got it working. Although i had to adapt your solutions a little bit.

This is my FileReference Model:

class FileReference extends \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference {

    /**
     * We need this property so that the Extbase persistence can properly persist the object
     *
     * @var integer
     */
    protected $uidLocal;

    /**
     * @param \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\ResourceInterface $originalResource
     */
    public function setOriginalResource(\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\ResourceInterface $originalResource) {
        $this->originalResource = $originalResource;
        $this->uidLocal = (int)$originalResource->getUid();
    }

}

Note that the setter expects an object of type ResourceInterface and NOT FileReference.

Then i ran into an SQL Error, because the table of my extended model does of course not exist.
So i had to configure extbase table mapping:

plugin.tx_foo.persistence.classes.Vendor\Foo\Domain\Model\FileReference.mapping.tableName = sys_file_reference

Also make sure, that your TCA includes this config:

'foreign_match_fields' => array(
    'fieldname' => 'whatever_your_field_is_called',
    'tablenames' => 'tx_foo_domain_model_bar',
    'table_local' => 'sys_file',
),

Summarized: Piece of cake.. No seriously, this is not pretty :/

Btw i am working in a CommandController..

Mmh, for me it wasn't necessary to define anything in TCA. I think it depends on what you wanna do with it. For me it works perfectly by just defining the $uidLocal property in my own FileReference model and use it instead of the original FileReference.

Do you know this thread (including the examples at github):

http://forum.typo3.org/index.php?t=msg&th=206859&goto=721954&#msg_721954

That worked perfectly for me!

Ah ok i was not aware that there are two kinds of FileReferences as well, but basically i wrote nearly the same setFile-Function as Helmut here https://gist.github.com/helhum/9a274ac1c29b50eedd71
Although i put it in the setOriginalResource in my Model :)

Btw i am trying to set a FileReference to i file which i got via:
$storage = $storageRepository->findByUid(1);
$file = $storage->getFile('foo.jpg');

@Daniel Hinderink: I totally need the TCA Config, if I dont have it the columns "tablenames" and "table_local" in sys_file_reference are emtpy.

I was really confused about the $originalFileIdentifier property, because i didtn see the property mapping on uid_local in the typoscript.

So everything is working now, but i dont like the solution :)
