I have added a new column in the model of a specific class.
'img'=>array(
'data_type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'Image',
'default'=>null,
'validation' => array(
'trim'
),
),
How do i run the model to update the database? i assume i need to run some kind of script.

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!
My goal is being able to:
Create Expertise Entries in the backend (already accomplished)
Create SubExpertise Entries in the backend
(same props as Expertise but
they belong to one or many Expertise)
Create AdditionalInfoTitles Entries in the backend
(they can belong to one or many Expertise OR SubExpertise)
I want to be able to choose Objects from all Expertise AND SubExpertise when creating a new entry
Right now I can only choose between all Expertise-Entries:
That's why I thought about inheritance since then SubExpertise would be of the same type as Expertise and therefore automatically displayed in the Expertise list in a AdditionalInfoTitles entry. But that's just my theory and I'm kinda stuck in reality with typo3 TCA and other knowledge that I'm lacking...
In my extension builder I made following (don't mind the subExpertises property)
Then I added expertise to the Overrides folder, because I'm trying to extend it with subexpertise:
<?php
if (!defined('TYPO3_MODE')) {
die ('Access denied.');
}
$temporaryColumns = array (
'expertise' => array(
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:appoints/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_appoints_domain_model_subexpertise.expertise',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'select',
'foreign_table' => 'tx_appoints_domain_model_subexpertise',
'MM' => 'tx_appoints_subexpertise_expertise_mm',
'size' => 10,
'autoSizeMax' => 30,
'maxitems' => 9999,
'multiple' => 0,
'wizards' => array(
'_PADDING' => 1,
'_VERTICAL' => 1,
'edit' => array(
'module' => array(
'name' => 'wizard_edit',
),
'type' => 'popup',
'title' => 'Edit',
'icon' => 'edit2.gif',
'popup_onlyOpenIfSelected' => 1,
'JSopenParams' => 'height=350,width=580,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1',
),
'add' => Array(
'module' => array(
'name' => 'wizard_add',
),
'type' => 'script',
'title' => 'Create new',
'icon' => 'add.gif',
'params' => array(
'table' => 'tx_appoints_domain_model_expertise',
'pid' => '###CURRENT_PID###',
'setValue' => 'prepend'
),
),
),
),
),
);
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addTCAcolumns(
'tx_appoints_domain_model_expertise',
$temporaryColumns
);
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addToAllTCAtypes(
'tx_appoints_domain_model_expertise',
'expertise'
);
But I don't think I'm going into the right direction with this -
Because I think this way I'm not gonna be able to add a SubExpertise in the backend separately from an Expertise - I already have the same problem with my Objects that extend fe_user because when creating them I usually have to go through a new User and then set the extension type - but this way I don't have separate listings of the different entities that extend fe_user.
I would get rid of the separation between Expertise and SubExpertise for the most part. According to your description a SubExpertise cannot have another SubExpertise as its parent, so you can adapt the select field that it only lists Expertises which have an empty parent field.
By removing the difference the problem of selecting (Sub)Expertise's in AdditionalInfoTitles is removed; it's just one and the same type of objects.
If you need to differentiate in the presentation in the BE forms there are plenty of options to adjust the labels of the listed items, use a function of your own to build the list or even a custom form element.
In Extbase you can simply write a few functions in your repository to fetch Expertise's, SubExpertise's or both.
If the entity SubExpertise does not have a meaning in your domain model, Jigal's answer is perfect for your scenario. If it does have a meaning, you can achieve that using single table inheritance in Extbase.
class Expertise extends \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\DomainObject\AbstractEntity
{
// all common properties
}
class SubExpertise extends Expertise
{
/**
* #var \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\ObjectStorage<\[YourVendorName]\Appoints\Domain\Model\Expertise>
*/
protected $expertises;
public function __construct()
{
$this->expertises = new \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\ObjectStorage();
}
public function getExpertises() {}
public function setExpertises($expertises) {}
}
Via TypoScript then you have to define mapping rules, since both Expertise and SubExpertise would be stored in the same table tx_appoints_domain_model_subexpertise.
You'll find more details on single table inheritance in the Extbase book.
I need a backend field where users can enter a time (ie "23:13:46", hours, minutes, seconds). But it should also be possible to not enter a time at all (which should of course be different from 00:00:00). Is it possible to make a field nullable?
What I have so far is this:
$GLOBALS['TCA']['tx_something_domain_model_delivery'] = array(
'columns' => array(
'deadline' => array(
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'Deadline',
'config' => array(
'dbType' => 'time',
'type' => 'input',
),
),
...
),
);
But if I enter nothing in the Deadline field, it stores "00:00:00" to the database. The database looks like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tx_something_domain_model_delivery` (
`uid` int(11) NOT NULL,
`pid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`deadline` time DEFAULT NULL,
...
);
so deadline is nullable, but I don't know how to achieve this.
BTW: I'm a newbie at typo3, so if you think the way I create the field is retarded or there is a much better way, I'd be thankful for any suggestions.
First: You are creating the field exactly in the intended way :-)
Second: You need to use the eval property in the configuration of the field. Add the setting null to it. Your config should then look like this:
$GLOBALS['TCA']['tx_something_domain_model_delivery'] = array(
'columns' => array(
'deadline' => array(
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'Deadline',
'config' => array(
'dbType' => 'time',
'type' => 'input',
'eval' => 'null',
),
),
...
),
);
There are more settings for the eval setting that might be of interest to you.
I have spent a long time without making progress on what seems to be a simple problem. I need to allow the user to add up to three references to a form. Each reference will have a name and phone number (two text inputs). I would like to do some simple validation on each one. I have created my ReferenceType and nested it into the main form with the following (note, I created the PhoneNumber validator and added the Null() just for testing):
$builder->add('references', 'collection', array(
'type' => new ReferenceType(),
'by_reference' => false,
'allow_add' => true,
'label' => false,
'required' => false,
'attr' => array('class' => 'reference'),
'options' => array(
'required' => false,
'label' => false,
),
'cascade_validation' => true,
'constraints' => array(
new Null(),
new PhoneNumber(),
)
));
ReferenceType:
$builder->add('name', 'text', array(
'label' => 'Reference',
'required' => false,
'cascade_validation' => true,
'attr' => array(
'placeholder' => 'Name'
)
));
$builder->add('phone', 'text', array(
'label' => false,
'required' => false,
'attr' => array(
'placeholder' => 'Phone Number'
),
'cascade_validation' => true,
'constraints' => array(
new Length(array('max' => 14)),
new PhoneNumber(),
)
));
All of that is quite simple and straight forward. However, I have been unable to get the form to throw an error for any reason related to those references. I use Propel for my ORM and have a lot of validation which works correctly on the main form. These references also display and function correctly except for validation. They are all mapped to one column (references) and I have tried Propel's type="array" as well as defining my own getter and setter which serializes the array of items. The type=array doesn't work at all with the collection, and serializing it seems to work ok.
I have searched SO and symfony.com docs for an answer but have found nothing that would actually cause either name or phone to throw an error. I have tried adding validation to my validation.yml file without success (3 chars only for testing):
references:
- Valid: ~
- Collection:
fields:
name:
- Length:
max: 3
maxMessage: Please limit your reference's name to 3 characters or less.
I'm probably missing something very obvious here, but I can't seem to grasp what. I have also dug through the Profiler and everything appears correct in there as well.
Could any provide hints on things to look for? It seems that creating a new database just for references is a little overkill (they don't need to be searchable or anything). Propel has some information on collections, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Or am I entirely missing the idea here and perhaps I should implement the fields an entirely different way?

I am using Zend Framework 2 Forms using array notion for a select (drop down box). Code snippet from MenuForm.php is below:
$options_for_select = $menuTable->GetParents();
$this->add(array(
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Select',
'name' => 'parent',
'attributes' => array(
'options' => $options_for_select,
),
'options' => array(
'label' => 'Select parent item',
),
)
);
When this drop down changes I would like to populate another drop down list on the form with a list of options that are related to the item selected in the parent drop down list.
How can I achieve this?
Thank you.
