Task #94538
Updated by Sybille Peters over 3 years ago
Updated, due to comments in review. --- To make it easy to choose from existing renderTypes and understand TCA, it is helpful if the naming is intuitive. For select, we currently have: * selectSingle * The renderType selectSingleBox * selectCheckBox * selectMultipleSideBySide * selectTree h2. Proposal 1 Original proposal: rename renderType='selectSingleBox' to 'selectMultipleBox'. See comments in review: https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/69811 It seems the "single" does not refer to the number of items selected, but to the number of elements (boxes). h2. Proposal 2 Perhaps the documentation element can be updated, used to select multiple values. To make usage more intuitive, the naming scheme more clear. See list: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tca/master/en-us/ColumnsConfig/Type/Select/Index.html#columns-select name should be changed. see selectSingleBox: documentation: > Renders a select field to select multiple entries from a given list. > The name is misleading. This is a renderType which allows you to select multiple elements! https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tca/master/en-us/ColumnsConfig/Type/selectSingleBox.html#columns-select-rendertype-selectsinglebox https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tca/10.4/en-us/ColumnsConfig/Type/selectSingleBox.html#columns-select-rendertype-selectsinglebox
