I have an own extension started with extension-builder. Now I added a dropdownmenu in the backend. Unfortunately it has no entries to choose. My Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php looks like this:
'ddOne' => array(
'label' =>'My dropdownMenu',
'exclude' => 1,
'config' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'item' => array("1","2","hier 3","option 4")
)
)
I only get an empty dropdownmenu. Thanks for your help.
You should take a look into the documentation how to correctly create a dropdown, see: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tca/9.5/en-us/ColumnsConfig/Type/Select.html
renderType is missing and you need the values for your labels.

I'm trying to add a column to the relation table (MM table) in Typo3. Let's say I have my tables user, wanted_car and wanted_car_mm which is my relation table. So in wanted_car_mm I'll know what user want which car, but I want to add the column need_faster in wanted_car_mm, which is a boolean, that tells me who should have it faster. A lot of users could need it faster, there's no order.
How do I add this column, map the value and correctly retrieve this information when I get all my users?
I currently have this in my TCA config for user:
'wanted_cars' => array(
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:caa_my_plugin/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:my_title',
'l10n_mode' => 'exclude',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'foreign_table' => 'wanted_car',
'MM' => 'wanted_car_mm',
'MM_insert_fields' => array('need_faster' => '???'),
'MM_table_where' => ' AND wanted_car_mm.need_faster = ???',
'maxitems' => 9999,
'multiple' => 0,
'renderType' => 'selectCheckBox',
),
),
I feel like this is how I should add the column and retrieve it correctly, but I have no clue how to map the correct value.. that I should also put in my where clause.. I don't know how this can be possible going like this, but I can't find any other way of doing it.
The value must be specified when creating a user.
You need an intermediate table for that. The full docs for that can be found on https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tca/master/en-us/ColumnsConfig/Type/Inline.html
a screenshot and old example which still should work can also be found on https://wiki.typo3.org/Inline_Relational_Record_Editing_Attributes
How to set up textfield in custom content element to avoid missing file references in backend filelist
I have a custom content element with a field of type "text". When I link in this field to a file in fileadmin there is no reference counted in the backend.
How I have to configure the field in my TCA to regard the references from that field in the file list?
My TCA-Config for that field is:
'my_ext_fiedname' =>
array(
'config' =>
array(
'type' => 'text',
'eval' => 'required',
'richtextConfiguration' => 'default',
'enableRichtext' => '1',
),
'exclude' => '1',
'label' => 'title',
),
Try to avoid using media references in text fields. It has been difficult over the past years to upgrade TYPO3 with such configuration and usages.
If you can't avoid, try using extension rte_ckeditor_image from Christian Opitz which is regularly maintained.
How can we add new fields in a new tab in user setting in TYPO3 version 8.7?
Our problem is the creation of a new tab.
I can add new fields to personal data tab in user setting, but I need to create new fields into a new tab.
For backend admin user setting I added a new tab, but for user setting I want to try this. I have an extension and since the installation of the extension it will add-on.
I tried to create new tab in fe_user.php.
Previously I tried to change ext_tables.php, but that is not working at all.
// Add some fields to FE Users table to show TCA fields definitions
// USAGE: TCA Reference > $GLOBALS['TCA'] array reference >
// ['columns'][fieldname]['config'] / TYPE: "select"
$temporaryColumns = array (
'tx_examples_options' => array (
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'tx_examples_options',
'config' => array (
'type' => 'select',
'showitem' => array (
array('LLL:EXT:core/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_general.xlf:fe_users.tx_examples_options.I.0', '1'),
array('LLL:EXT:core/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_general.xlf:fe_users.tx_examples_options.I.1', '2'),
array('LLL:EXT:core/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_general.xlf:fe_users.tx_examples_options.I.2', '--div--'),
array('LLL:EXT:core/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_general.xlf:fe_users.tx_examples_options.I.3', '3'),
),
'size' => 1,
'maxitems' => 1,
)
),
'tx_examples_special' => array (
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'tx_examples_special',
'config' => array (
'type' => 'user',
'size' => '30',
'userFunc' => 'Documentation\\Examples\\Userfuncs\\Tca->specialField',
'parameters' => array(
'color' => 'blue'
)
)
),
);
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addTCAcolumns(
'fe_users',
$temporaryColumns
);
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addToAllTCAtypes(
'fe_users',
'--div--;newtab,tx_examples_options, tx_examples_special'
);
When I changed into file ext_tables.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_USER_SETTINGS']['columns']['copy_directory'] = array(
'label' => 'Alternative directory for saving copies',
'type' => 'text',
'table' => 'be_users',
);
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addFieldsToUserSettings('copy_directory','after:lang');
then it's showing in "personal data" tab but I want new tab in user setting for non-admin user.
In general your code looks fine.
But you are in the wrong file!
Avoid ext_tables.php if possible.
If you change anything to the TCA you should do it in Configuration/TCA/ for new tables and Configuration/TCA/Overrides for enhancing existing tables.
Use filenames according to the table you are modifying.
In your case all the code should be located in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/fe_users.php.
And be sure you clear all caches if you develop anything with TCA!
I'd like to have 3 separate texts for each field in my form as a label. They are separate, because they need to be styled differently. I tried this:
$builder->add('total_sales', 'text', array(
'label' => array('num' => '1', 'descr' => 'Total sales', 'category' => 'A'),
'required' => false,
'attr' => array(
'class' => 'field numeric_field',
'maxlength' => 10,
)));
Obviously the above don't work; it will display 'Array' in place of label.
How can I achieve desired effect?
first you'll need to create a custom form type that extends the text type, the reason for this is so you don't mess up other text types you might have elsewhere. After doing that you'll need to style it using a form_div_layout. you can see the details here:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/form/form_customization.html
I am brand new to Zend and I've been given a project to make adjustments on. I'd like to add html to the labels for my form elements but I can't seem to get it right.
Here's what I have:
$this->addElement('text', 'school_name', array(
'filters' => array('StringTrim'),
'validators' => array(
array('StringLength', false, array(0, 150)),
),
'required' => true,
'label' => 'Name* :<img src="picture.png">,
'size' => '90',
));
As is, of course, the <img src="picture.png"> text gets escaped and the whole string is displayed.
I've read that I need to use 'escape' => false in some capacity but I can't figure out where/how to use it in my specific case.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
After calling addElement fetch the label's decorator and change the escape setting:
$form->getElement('school_name')->getDecorator('label')->setOption('escape', false);
If you use this type of label a lot, you should consider writing a custom decorator.
You can also use the disable_html_escape in 'label_options' when adding an element to the form:
$this->add(array(
....
'options' => array(
'label' => '<span class="required">Name</span>,
'label_options' => array(
'disable_html_escape' => true,
)
),
...
));
