Translation Selector in TYPO3 TCA (V 8.7) - typo3

I have a major issue in finishing my plugin. In versions under 8, I have had a dropdown in my custom TCAs to select the language, located above the action buttons on the top. The following code had worked:
'languageField' => 'sys_language_uid',
'transOrigPointerField' => 'l10n_parent',
'transOrigDiffSourceField' => 'l10n_diffsource',
Neither the database changed, nor have I made major changes to the TCA (except those described in the upgrade tutorial), but under TYPO3 8, I am not able to have the select with the different languages shown again. Do you have any idea, why?
Many thanks
Stephan

TYPO3 EXT:cart_product: extend backend with one selection to do conditional theming in template

I'm looking for a way to extend the backend of the TYPO3 extension cart_products with one additional select field. I have already created some different ViewHelpers for the ProductBackendVariants and now need a way to choose the corresponding Viewhelper.
Best would be if there is a selection direct after the type select in the general product type. But I am not able to add some additional configuration fields to this tab.
Already added
'formtemplate' => [
'label' => 'ProductDetail Variant Form',
'config' => [
'type' => 'select',
'renderType' => 'selectSingle',
'items' => [
['Standard', 1],
['Matten', 2],
['Zaunpaket', 3],
],
'size' => 1,
'minitems' => 1,
'maxitems' => 1,
],
],
to the tx_cartproducts_domain_model_product_product.php but nothing appears in the backend.
I don't know that specific extension but some hints in general:
it seems that you have tried to modified the TCA directly in the extension (cart_products/Configuration/TCA/tx_cartproducts_domain_model_product_product.php). You should never change anything in a 3rd party extension (neither the TYPO3 core) because you loose the ability to update.
You need to create your own extension and add a file to Configuration/TCA/Overrides. Ideally you name the file exactly like the file you like to extend for easier understanding. See the documentation for details.
To add a new field to the TCA you not only need to define the name and type but you also need to create the database field. That's done in ext_tables.sql of your custom extension.
It's not sufficent to create the TCA config and SQL mentioned above you also need to tell, where the new field should be visible in the backend. That's done with the showitem setting. See documentation for details.
To ease the process of extending an existing TCA I can recommend the extension TCA Builder which makes it in many cases much easier to create the TCA code. See these examples how that's done. Nevertheless you need to create ext_tables.sql.
Last but not least: when you made changes to ext_tables.sql you need to run the database compare in the TYPO3 install tool.

Laravel backpack Customized fields are not working for Edit and Update methods

I'm using backpack in my project. I’ve created a customized fields that is dropdown and select box. In one blade file I’m displaying two fields based on dropdown selection I’ll display the options for select box. So everything is working fine somehow Edit and update is working for these customized field. any idea how to achieve this? Thanks in advance
In one blade file I've written these two customized fields code. so based on dropdown selection I'll pull up the options for next select box. Tried to override existed backpack files for this model. but no luck.
'label' => "Professors",
'type' => "selectProfessors",
'name' => 'professor_id',
'entity' => 'professor',
'attribute' => "name",
'model' => Professor::class,
'options' => (function ($query) {
return $query->where('professor_id', '=', backpack_user()
->professor_id)
->get();
}),
It is not working only for edit and update. for creating and deleting working as expected.

Change the backend-view of mask - TYPO3

I try - in TYPO3 8.7.13 with the extension mask 3.1.0 - to build for example a CE with repeating records with fields for names - no problem.
But in the backend I can see only the first field. Is there any way to show both?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rmsg5qfd51blhrf/mask1.png?dl=0
So there are preview templates they belong to the page view and not edit.
In edit mode you only see the label (this is given in the definition of IRRE in the TYPO3 core).
So you only can change the shown 'label' of the record. That means: using label_alt in the TCA (I recommend to use label_alt_force too):
'ctrl' => [
'label' => 'surname',
'label_alt' => 'givenname,surname',
'label_alt_force' => 1,
],

Flex Relate field value is blank in List of Sub Panel

There are two modules: Customer & Top Transaction
Relationship between them: 1(Customer):Many(Top Transaction)
There is one 'Flex Relate' field in Top Transaction module.
Now I want to display that 'Flex Relate' value on sub panel list of Top Transaction module.
For that I did changes from studio->Customer->Sub-Panel->Top Transaction.
On Customer detail page under Top Transaction sub panel it's showing only header of 'Flex Relate' field & no value(values are blank).
Does anyone know solution to this?
I'm using 6.5 community edition.
Please check this link for flex relate Flex relate
Try to use relate field instead of flex related i think it will solve your problem .
I know, this is the old question, but here is the solution I have found.
Add these 2 fields in the subpanel metadata and this would show the parent/flex field properly.
However there is still an issue in that, here the target module is fixed. I will update this as soon as I find any solution to it.
Untill that, I think this is achievable in process_record hook. But, I am looking for some generic solution.
'parent_type' =>
array(
'usage' => 'query_only',
),
'parent_name' =>
array(
'width' => '10%',
'vname' => 'LBL_FLEX_RELATE',
'id' => 'parent_id',
'link' => true,
'widget_class' => 'SubPanelDetailViewLink',
'target_module' => 'AOS_Invoices',
'target_record_key' => 'parent_id',
'default' => false,
),

Typo3 override backend classes

It's been a few weeks I work on Typo3 6.2 and I want to know how to override Typo3 Core classes.
In my case, I have to edit the way select html objects are displayed (I want to add optgroup but Typo doesn't allow us to do it). So I edited the file "FormEngine.php" (typo3/sysext/backend/Classes/Form) and now it works.
But this isn't healthy for future upgrade.
Is there a way to override core classes like any other CMS would allow us to do ?
And I haven't been able to find something on the Internet and I think it could be useful.
Thank you :)

Instead of modifying source code of CMS you can just declare a field with a user type and then point your custom userFunc
From the ref:
'tx_examples_special' => array (
'exclude' => 0,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:examples/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:fe_users.tx_examples_special',
'config' => array (
'type' => 'user',
'size' => '30',
'userFunc' => 'Documentation\\Examples\\Userfuncs\\Tca->specialField',
'parameters' => array(
'color' => 'blue'
)
)
),
TIP: Using this approach, you can create ANY type of field you need, it can be i.e. Google Maps selector, set of fields with common dependencies filled by JS, etc, etc.
