TCA file, checkbox default checked - typo3

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'
)
),

TYPO3 Prefill text field in my own extension

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.

TYPO3 TCA label with UserFunc - how to get HTML formatted label?

I want to format the title showing in a list of TCA items which can contain italic text. But whatever I try, I get only unformatted text - even from RTE text fields.
My base information is "partA", "partB", "partC" and I need a title like "partA : partC - part B"
My Code so far:
<?php
return [
'ctrl' => [
'title' => 'LLL:EXT:myext/Resources/Private/Language/myext.xlf:tx_myext_domain_model_myitem',
'label' => 'partC',
'label_alt' => 'partA',
'formattedLabel_userFunc' => T395\myExt\Classes\UserFuncs\MyBEUserFuncs::class.'->getFullMyitemTitle',
'formattedLabel_userFunc_options' => [
'sys_file' => [
'partC','partA','partB'
]
],
'iconfile' => 'fileadmin/Resource/icons/svgs/myext.svg',
],
'columns' => [
'partC' => [
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myext/Resources/Private/Language/myext.xlf:tx_myext_domain_model_myitem.partC',
'config' => [
'type' => 'text',
'enableRichtext' => true,
],
],
'partA' => [
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myext/Resources/Private/Language/myext.xlf:tx_myext_domain_model_myitem.partA',
'config' => [
'type' => 'input',
'size' => '5',
'eval' => 'trim',
],
],
'partB' => [
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myext/Resources/Private/Language/myext.xlf:tx_myext_domain_model_myitem.partC',
'config' => [
'type' => 'input',
'size' => '5',
'eval' => 'trim',
],
],
],
'types' => [
'0' => ['showitem' => 'partA,partB,partC'],
],
];
And the UF:
<?php
T395\myExt\Classes\UserFuncs;
class MyBEUserFuncs
{
public function getFullMyitemTitle(&$params, &$pObj)
{
echo "Hello World!";
$params['title'] = $params['row']['partA'].' : '.$params['row']['partC'].' - '.$params['row']['partB'];
}
}
Even the echo is not showing. Changing the formattedLabel_userFunc to label_userFunc results in getting a string in right order - but right without any text formats like <i> etc but showing them as text. I'm sure, I'm missing something, but I can't figure out what it is - I was also unable to find any code snippets or examples showing the right way - and the docs from TYPO3 saying only that exists formattedLabel_userFunc and it has options - but no proper example there. Hope you can help me. Thank you!
in the documentation for formattedlabel_userfunc you can find:
[...] return formatted HTML for the label and used only for the labels of inline (IRRE) records.
and for label_userfunc there is the warning:
The title is passed later on through htmlspecialchars() so it may not include any HTML formatting.

rendertype inputlink for huge files without copying the file

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'])
),

Cascade delete TYPO3 inline records don't work

I have a TYPO3 extension for some products which uses inline records to add documentgroups to a product. Deleting the product should also delete the documentgroups (inline records).
The documentation says behaviour.enableCascadingDelete is set to true by default, but the documentgroups are not deleted. Setting this value in the TCA does not make a difference.
'documentgroups' => [
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => $ll . ".documentgroups",
'config' => [
'type' => 'inline',
'allowed' => 'tx_product_domain_model_docgroup',
'behaviour' => [
'allowLanguageSynchronization' => true,
'enableCascadingDelete' => true,
],
'foreign_table' => 'tx_product_domain_model_docgroup',
'MM' => 'tx_product_mm',
'MM_match_fields' => [
'tablenames' => 'tx_product_domain_model_docgroup',
'fieldname' => 'documentgroups',
'table_local' => $tableName,
],
'foreign_sortby' => 'sorting',
'minitems' => 0,
'maxitems' => 99,
]
],
enableCascadingDelete has no effect on MM related tables. In \TYPO3\CMS\Core\DataHandling\DataHandler->deleteRecord_procBasedOnFieldType the inline type is checked and only if it's of type field (foreign_field must be set in the TCA) or list (MM and foreign_field must not be set in TCA) child entries will be deleted.

TYPO3 singleSelect required

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:
