TCA: Streamline field order and position for recurring fields
100%
Description
User story¶
When I edit a record, I would like to have the same options on similar places. So I have a chance to have a valid expectation where to find the option.
Description of the issue¶
In T3 there are some recurring field definitions shared by a lot of records (core records and extension records). These fields are mostly defined in TCA[‘crtl’]- e.g. disabled, descriptionColumn. These fields should have a standard position and order.
Example Field enablecolumns.disabled¶
| Record | Tab | Field position |
|---|---|---|
| Page | Access | Visibility – Page - Disable |
| Backendusergroup | General | Disable |
| Backenduser | General | Disable |
| Webseite language | Access | Disable |
| Action | Access | Deactivated |
| System News | General | Disable |
| Scheduler task group | --- | Disable |
| Template | General | Disable |
| Content element | Access | Visibility – Content Element - Disable |
| Website User | General | Disable |
| Backend layout | Access | Disable: |
| Domain | --- | Disable |
| Alternative Page Language | Access | Visiblity – Page - Disable |
| Category | General | Hide (next to Language in palette) |
| Record Collection | General | Hide (next to Language in palette) |
| Abbreviation | --- | Hide |
Suggested solution¶
Streamline the field order and position for all core records. Add missing fields where necessary. Document the order and position to encourage extension authors to change the field order accordingly.
Suggested field order and position¶
Legend: / means palette
Tab: General (must be the first tab)
- type / (main sub selection e.g. colPos)
- label / (label specific options)
- label_alt (in case these fields are related to the label)
Other tabs defined by the specific record
Tab: Language
- language_field / transOrigPointerField
- other language or translation related options
Tab: Access
- disabled / (hide in menu)
- starttime / endtime
- fe_group / fe_admin_lock
- adminlock
- other access related options
Tab: Categories
- categories (not to select parent categories; only to categorize a record)
Tab: Notes
- descriptionColumn

Somekind of API to add these fields to your own TCA would be great. That would help all extension authors and make it much easier to streamline the backed and also to customize it again. 1 place that defines the configuration of all the general fields, pallettes and tabs + column order and search.

Yes, it's nasty to write on every own extension table the same configuration etc. It would be a good starting point for an API to benefit the situation.
I would suggest applying changes in the following order:
- Streamline core fields order and position
- Document field position and order
- Add a (misused) unit/functional test or something else to ensure the position and order for core records in the future
- Introduce an API to make it easy to add those fields consistently

Hi,
I had a proposal on gerrit. The main difference I made is the movement of the language related fields (in comperison to tt_content or page).
I think it is not longer necessary to have them in the first tab, as the translation is mainly done by wizards and the current (language) status is also avaliable through the module menu.
Best regards,
Daniel
