TYPO3 - Extension TCA - Show backend fields - typo3

Question

I'm deveopping my own Typo3 extension and it's not as easy as expected :)
When i create an object in the backend it's working :
But I can't find a way to display the following commands :
move up
move down
enable/disabled
Here is what I tried to show the "enable/disable" icon :
$TCA['tx_productsfaq_domain_model_scenario'] = array (
'ctrl' => array (
'enablecolumns' => [
'disabled' => 'hidden'
]
)
);
.. with no success. In my database the model has a "hidden" column (tinyint). Maybe I forgot something ? All other properties in my TCA work fine.

Answer 1

You need a sorting field in your Database
CREATE table tx_productsfaq_domain_model_scenario (
...
sorting int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
deleted tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
hidden tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
...
);
and TCA configuration like
$TCA['tx_productsfaq_domain_model_scenario'] = array (
'ctrl' => [
...
'sortby' => 'sorting',
'enablecolumns' => [
'disabled' => 'hidden'
],
...
]
);
It seems you are using the old way to configure your TCA. Please see https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/Introduction/Index.html
Use EXT:productsfaq/Configuration/TCA/tx_productsfaq_domain_model_scenario.php
return [
'ctrl' => [
...
'sortby' => 'sorting',
'delete' => 'deleted',
'enablecolumns' => [
'disabled' => 'hidden',
],
...
],
'interface' => [
'showRecordFieldList' => 'hidden, ...'
],
'types' => [
'0' => ['showitem' => 'hidden, ...']
],
'columns' => [
...
]
];

Depending on your TYPO3 version move up, move down will be visible if you switch on extended view and have defined a sorting field (by default it is called sorting with type int).
To have the correct fields and options for sorting and hiding you may use the EXT:extension_builder and generate a dummy extension to identify these fields.
Compare your definition and declaration of the fields ('sorting', 'hidden') in TCA and SQL(!) to a build in table like tt_content.
