I need to save the IP address of a user who fills out my form.
I have tried to do it like this:
'userip' => [
'exclude' => true,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myExtension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_myextension_domain_model_myextension.userip',
'config' => [
'type' => 'input',
'size' => 30,
'eval' => 'trim',
'default' => '12345'.$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]
]
],
But that doesn't work. What would be the right way?
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] is not available in TCA cause this is BE related stuff.
Use the setter from the model, setUserip($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]), in your createAction() or initializeCreateAction() to save the value in DB.

I need a tca field with a link to huge files (100-900 MB). I used this TCA:
'config' => [
'type' => 'input',
'renderType' => 'inputLink',
'fieldControl' => [
'linkPopup' => [
'options' => [
'blindLinkOptions' => 'mail,page,spec,url,folder',
'blindLinkFields' => 'class,params,target,title',
],
],
],
]
It works but when I save the data TYPO3 seems to copy the file and I get the error message that the limit of 50 MB is exceeded. But I need only a simple link to the file.
In version 7 it worked with this code:
'config' => array (
'type' => 'input',
'size' => '100',
'max' => '255',
'eval' => 'trim',
'wizards' => array(
'_PADDING' => 2,
'link' => array(
'type' => 'popup',
'title' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xml:header_link_formlabel',
'icon' => 'link_popup.gif',
'module' => array(
'name' => 'wizard_element_browser',
'urlParameters' => array(
'mode' => 'wizard',
'act' => 'file'
)
),
'JSopenParams' => 'height=300,width=500,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1'
)
),
)
but it doesn't work anymore in TYPO3 8.
How can i fix the problem?
Correction:
I am sorry but I was wrong. The whole question is wrong: The above configuration works as expected, it does not copy the file, it only links to the file. I made another error which leads to a misunderstanding of my real problem.
Sorry for the noise ...
In order to close the topic I will mark the answer as correct. In some way it was because it gave me a good hint.
Take a look to FAL. Here the files are only referenced to the orgin file.
'image' => array(
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_general.xlf:LGL.images',
'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig('image', array(
'appearance' => array(
'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 'LLL:EXT:frontend/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_ttc.xlf:images.addFileReference'
),
// custom configuration for displaying fields in the overlay/reference table
// to use the imageoverlayPalette instead of the basicoverlayPalette
'foreign_types' => array(
...
)
), $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext'])
),
This is my TCA field configuration
'membership_type' => [
'exclude' => 0,
'label' => $ll . '/locallang_db.xlf:my_label.type',
'config' => [
'type' => 'select',
'renderType' => 'selectSingle',
'foreign_table' => 'sys_category',
'foreign_table_where' => ' AND sys_category.parent=' . $membershipTypeParent . ' AND (sys_category.sys_language_uid = 0 OR sys_category.l10n_parent = 0) ORDER BY sys_category.sorting ASC',
'items' => [
[$llg . 'fe_users.groups.unkonwn', 0]
],
],
],
I want this field to be required. I tried setting:
['config']['eval'] = 'required';
['config']['minitems'] = 1;
But none of them seem to do the job. I found also this old thread on typo3 forge which says it is not possible https://forge.typo3.org/issues/60247. I am using TYPO3 8 now.
"Eval does not exist for select fields. However, what you're missing is a field to choose a non-empty value.
I suggest you use a multi-select with two selects (similar to fe_group in pages) where you can only select one item)."
I would prefer to stay with single select instead of multi-select. Is that possible ?
Eval does exist for select fields, there will be something incorrect in your configuration.
Here's an example I made which works
'exampleSelectSingle' => array(
'label' =>'Select Single',
'exclude' => 0,
'config' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'renderType' => 'selectSingle',
'eval' => 'required',
'items' => array(
['Empty',''],
['Label 1','value1'],
['Label 2','value2']
)
),
'size' => 1,
'minitems' => 1
)
This renders correctly with the first (empty) option selected, which triggers the validation:

I would like to set a checkbox in the backend to default checked.
In my case it is the field showinpreview in the file /typo3conf/ext/news/Configuration/TCA/tx_news_domain_model_media.php.
I changed the value default to 1, but it has no effect:
'showinpreview' => [
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => $ll . 'tx_news_domain_model_media.showinpreview',
'config' => [
'type' => 'check',
'default' => 1
]
],
When I check the TCA File of tt_content for a checked checkbox it looks like this:
'sectionIndex' => [
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:frontend/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_ttc.xlf:sectionIndex',
'config' => [
'type' => 'check',
'default' => 1,
'items' => [
'1' => [
'0' => 'LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_core.xlf:labels.enabled'
]
]
]
],
The only difference I see is the items. But I do not really understand what this item-value does.
The easiest way to change this value is by overriding TCA with some pageTS. Add following to the pagets of the folder that holds the news records.
TCAdefaults.sys_file_reference.showinpreview = 1
See https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TSconfigReference/PageTsconfig/TCEform/Index.html
For the older EXT:news versions use: TCAdefaults.tx_news_domain_model_media.showinpreview = 1
The value of the field showinpreview is set in news/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/sys_file_reference.php. Apply your change there, and you will be happy.
But be aware: after updating of the news extension your change will be lost.
Just checked - this works for me
'checkbox' => array(
'exclude' => 0,
'label' => 'My Label',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'check',
'default' => '1'
)
),
I have set up a small extension with the extension builder containing a few fields, one of which is the internal_type: 'file_reference'.
'dokument' => array(
'exclude' => 0,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:publikationen/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_publikationen_domain_model_publikation.dokument',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'group',
'internal_type' => 'file_reference',
//'uploadfolder' => 'uploads/tx_publikationen',
'allowed' => '*',
'disallowed' => 'php',
'size' => 5,
),
),
The field appears in the backend, but the Element browser is unable to show any files to select:
If I remove the "bparams" parameter from the URL shown above, it is able to see the files that are there.
How can this be brought to work?
FAL fields require complicated configuration. To make that easier, there is a function returning the TCA config for such a field.
Its usage for a field that allows only one file looks like this:
'dokument' => array(
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:publikationen/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_publikationen_domain_model_publikation.dokument',
'exclude' => 0,
'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig(
'dokument',
array(
'maxitems' => 1,
'minitems' => 1,
'appearance' => array(
'enabledControls' => array(
'dragdrop' => FALSE,
'localize' => FALSE,
),
),
)
),
),
A look into the source code of that function makes me not want to do that manually.
I've read numerous workarounds for Zend Framework's lack of default checkbox validation.
I have recently started using ZF2 and the documentation is a bit lacking out there.
Can someone please demonstrate how I can validate a checkbox to ensure it was ticked, using the Zend Form and Validation mechanism? I'm using the array configuration for my Forms (using the default set-up found in the example app on the ZF website).
Try this
Form element :
$this->add(array(
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Checkbox',
'name' => 'agreeterms',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'I agree to all terms and conditions',
'use_hidden_element' => true,
'checked_value' => 1,
'unchecked_value' => 'no'
),
));
In filters, add digit validation
use Zend\Validator\Digits; // at top
$inputFilter->add($factory->createInput(array(
'name' => 'agreeterms',
'validators' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Digits',
'break_chain_on_failure' => true,
'options' => array(
'messages' => array(
Digits::NOT_DIGITS => 'You must agree to the terms of use.',
),
),
),
),
)));
You could also just drop the hidden form field (which I find a bit weird from a purist HTML point of view) from the options instead of setting its value to 'no' like this:
$this->add(array(
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Checkbox',
'name' => 'agreeterms',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'I agree to all terms and conditions',
'use_hidden_element' => false
),
));
I had the same problem and did something similar to Optimus Crew's suggestion but used the Identical Validator.
If you don't set the checked_value option of the checkbox and leave it as the default it should pass in a '1' when the data is POSTed. You can set it if you require, but make sure you're checking for the same value in the token option of the validator.
$this->filter->add(array(
'name' => 'agreeterms',
'validators' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Identical',
'options' => array(
'token' => '1',
'messages' => array(
Identical::NOT_SAME => 'You must agree to the terms of use.',
),
),
),
),
));
This won't work if you use the option 'use_hidden_element' => false for the checkbox for the form. If you do this, you'll end up displaying the default NotEmpty message Value is required and can't be empty
This isn't directly related to the question, but here's some zf2 checkbox tips if you're looking to store a user's response in the database...
DO use '1' and '0' strings, don't bother trying to get anything else to work. Plus, you can use those values directly as SQL values for a bit/boolean column.
DO use hidden elements. If you don't, no value will get posted with the form and no one wants that.
DO NOT try to filter the value to a boolean. For some reason, when the boolean value comes out to be false, the form doesn't validate despite having 'required' => false;
Example element creation in form:
$this->add([
'name' => 'cellPhoneHasWhatsApp',
'type' => 'Checkbox',
'options' => [
'label' => 'Cell phone has WhatsApp?',
'checked_value' => '1',
'unchecked_value' => '0',
'use_hidden_element' => true,
],
]);
Example input filter spec:
[
'cellPhoneHasWhatsApp' => [
'required' => false,
],
]
And here's an example if you want to hide some other form fields using bootstrap:
$this->add([
'name' => 'automaticTitle',
'type' => 'Checkbox',
'options' => [
'label' => 'Automatically generate title',
'checked_value' => '1',
'unchecked_value' => '0',
'use_hidden_element' => true,
],
'attributes' => [
'data-toggle' => 'collapse',
'data-target' => '#titleGroup',
'aria-expanded' => 'false',
'aria-controls' => 'titleGroup'
],
]);
I'm a ZF2 fan, but at the end of the day, you just have to find out what works with it and what doesn't (especially with Forms). Hope this helps somebody!
Very old question, but figured it might still be used/referenced by people, like me, still using Zend Framework 2. (Using ZF 2.5.3 in my case)
Jeff's answer above helped me out getting the right config here for what I'm using. In my use case I require the Checkbox, though leaving it empty will count as a 'false' value, which is allowed. His answer helped me allow the false values, especially his:
DO NOT try to filter the value to a boolean. For some reason, when the boolean value comes out to be false
The use case is to enable/disable certain entities, such as Countries or Languages so they won't show up in a getEnabled[...]() Repository function.
Form element
$this->add([
'name' => 'enabled',
'required' => true,
'type' => Checkbox::class,
'options' => [
'label' => _('Enabled'),
'label_attributes' => [
'class' => '',
],
'use_hidden_element' => true,
'checked_value' => 1,
'unchecked_value' => 0,
],
'attributes' => [
'id' => '',
'class' => '',
],
]);
Input filter
$this->add([
'name' => 'enabled',
'required' => true,
'validators' => [
[
'name' => InArray::class,
'options' => [
'haystack' => [true, false],
],
],
],
])
