Having multiple cq:dropTargets in one component - aem

I've managed to implement my single cq:dropTarget into my component with the following sightly code:
<div data-sly-test="${wcmmode.edit}" class="cq-dd-videoplayer" data-sly-text="Drop video here"></div>
And the cq:dropTargets is setup like so:
<cq:dropTargets jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<videoplayer
jcr:primaryType="cq:DropTargetConfig"
accept="[video/.*]"
groups="[media]"
propertyName="./videoPath"/>
</cq:dropTargets>
This works perfectly... The issue I'm having is having multiple cq:dropTargets in the one component. The issue I have is when I drop an asset into one of the cq:dropTargets both values in the dropTargets are updated with the same value.
This is my current setup:
Sightly:
<div data-sly-test="${wcmmode.edit}" class="cq-dd-videoplayer cq-video-placeholder cq-block-sm-placeholder md-dropzone-video" data-sly-text="Drop video here"></div>
<div data-sly-test="${wcmmode.edit}" class="cq-dd-imageofplayer cq-video-placeholder cq-block-sm-placeholder md-dropzone-video" data-sly-text="Drop image here"></div>
cq:dropTargets
<cq:dropTargets jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
<videoplayer
jcr:primaryType="cq:DropTargetConfig"
accept="[video/.*]"
groups="[media]"
propertyName="./videoPath"/>
<imageofplayer
jcr:primaryType="cq:DropTargetConfig"
accept="[image/.*]"
groups="[media]"
propertyName="./imagePath"/>
</cq:dropTargets>
so now the ./videoPath and ./imagePath become the same value from the dragged in asset.

On the 22nd of August 2015 has been released a new featurepack CQ-6.1.0-FEATUREPACK-6563 which solved this problem.
Related bugs fixed:
- CQ-39715 - Make multiple in-place editors smarter
- CQ-41631 - Can't place multiple fileupload widgets on the same dialog
- CQ-42676 - Inplace editing does not work for static included components
So now you need to create inside cq:inplaceEditing a node called cq:childEditors primaryType unstructured and inside that one node type cq:ChildEditorConfig for each element composed by two properties: "title" and "type" where title will be showed in a dropdown menu when you click on the edit link. I created a 3 columns image component and I can drag-and-drop images from the Content Finder for each of them.
Also the Configure section is working with 3 tabs where I can drag-and-drop/upload images for each of them.
I suggest to use wcm/foundation/components/textimage as example.

Are you trying to drop an image after video?
If so, just looking at your cq:dropTargetConfig for "imageofplayer",
according to docs,
accept property value should be "Regex applied to the asset mime type to validate if dropping is allowed."
So if you are trying to drop an image , it should be:
accept="[image/.*]"

How to have multiple sections with images in a FluidTYPO3 flux form with TYPO3 10?

I have been using FluidTYPO3 (flux and vhs) to run TYPO3 web pages for many years now. With TYPO3 10, I face a major problem. I'll quickly write about my use case, how I solved it so far, and then what the problem with 10 LTS is.
Use case:
I want to have a content element template for a timeline using FluidTYPO3/flux. Each "point" on the timeline should have a heading, some text, and optionally some images. All in all, pretty basic (or so I thought).
Solution so far (TYPO3 <= 9):
Timeline elements are sections. Images are using flux:field.file.
Simplified example of the form:
<flux:form id="timeline" label="timeline">
<flux:form.section name="timeline" label="Timeline">
<flux:form.object name="element" label="Element">
<flux:field.input name="title" label="Heading" />
<flux:field.text name="label" label="Text" enableRichText="TRUE" />
<flux:field.file name="images" label="Pictures" allowed="jpg,png,svg" multiple="TRUE" maxItems="50" size="5" showThumbnails="TRUE"
/>
</flux:form.object>
</flux:form.section>
</flux:form>
With this, multiple elements can be created on the timeline and each of them can have its own set of images.
Problem in TYPO3 10:
The technology (TCA group fields to select files) that flux:field.file relies on was deprecated in TYPO3 9 and removed in TYPO3 10, see this notice. That is one of the reasons why flux:field.file was also marked deprecated and is going to be removed in TYPO3 10.
The TYPO3 deprecation notice says to use FAL relations instead. Of course, flux can also do this with flux:field.inline.fal. However, you can only have one FAL field per FlexForm. This precludes its usage in sections, since all sections would share the same images. This limitation is known for some time - see this bug report for example - but has never been fixed. It is also why I initially chose not to use FAL fields. Using bare file fields was the recommended workaround at the time.
Question:
So - how is everyone doing it? How to add multiple image fields to a flexform in TYPO3 10?
EDIT: More specifically, how to add an image field as part of a Flexform section that can contain multiple child records (resulting in multiple image fields)?
Note: I know that I can get a "file-like" field back by using an input field with inputLink renderType (like this), but as far as I can tell it does not allow to link multiple images.
I've found another workaround that might be appropriate for some use cases:
It is still possible to use flux:field.file fields if the useFalRelation parameter set to true, even on TYPO3 v10 LTS and in repeatable FlexForm sections. This will then put sys_file record IDs separated by comma into the field instead of raw filenames. They can be used as src argument for, e.g., f:image just as well as the filename, so the CE templates itself do not have to be modified. All existing CEs that had useFalRelation set to false need to be migrated though so that the filenames are replaced with sys_file UIDs.
This is a bit better than the inputLink workaround since it allows multiple images.
It seems the only workaround with TYPO3 core onboard methods is to go for a Flux-Container having a single column containing simple default "Text with image" or "text with media" elements and then to just ignore additional options of those elements and to just render the necessary fields.
With Gridelements this is called a "functional container", since the container determines the behaviour and appearance of those elements, while the elements themselves don't have to be custom elements at all.
Additionally this makes access to the content of those elements - i.e. while doing a search query - much easier.
The bug report you mentioned already contains the solutions, since the actual problem described there is that FAL fields in a flexform are using the same name.
So instead of
image
according to the bug report there should be
settings.foreground.image
which is of course not working, since the dot is part of the path but not of the name.
But actually replacing the dot with an underscore and using some suffixes within the same flexform tab should do the trick:
settings.foreground.settings_foreground_image
settings.foreground.settings_foreground_image2
This way you make sure that
The field names within your flexform are unique
The actual field name within the sys_file_reference entry already contains the full path information
You can use that information to fetch images i.e. within a DataProcessor and still know the FlexForm field they actually belong to
Sitll I would recommend to fully move away form FlexForms (and thus Flux too) in favor of "real" fields in the database table.
If you currently use the flux:field.file element at typo3 10 with the useFalRelation=1 you can replace it by the flux:field element. It is not deprecated and works in combination with the flux:form.object element
Following example:
<flux:field.file
allowed="jpg,png,svg,gif"
exclude="false"
label="MyLabel"
name="myname"
showThumbnails="1"
useFalRelation="1"
maxItems="1"
minItems="1"
/>
Can be replaced with:
<flux:field type="input" name="myname" label="MyLabel"
config="{
type: 'group',
size: 1,
internal_type: 'db',
use_fal_relation: 1,
allowed: 'sys_file',
maxitems: 1,
minitems: 0,
show_thumbs: 1,
appearance: {
elementBrowserAllowed: 'jpg,png,svg,gif',
elementBrowserType: 'file'
}
}
"/>

SAPUI5 - How to change the table in the same View?

situation:
2 diferent tables, 1 view;
want to achieve:
I've got to change the table when I change the selectedKey in a select.
I already tried to create fragments with each table and call the one I want when I change the select.
fragment1 - table 1
fragment2 - table 2
select - oEvent (onChangeSelect) - getSelectedKey - if(key === 1) - call fragment1, if(key === 2) - call fragment2, but it gives me an error.
I don't know if this is correct and I'm not finding any infos related online.
If someone can show some links or give me just an idea on how can I do this, it would be perfect.
You could use the concept of binding to achieve this without coding. assume you have something like that in your view:
<Select><!-- ... --></Select>
<core:Fragment ... /><!-- table 1 -->
<core:Fragment ... /><!-- table 2 -->
First, add a model to your app, which will contain the information about the status of the app (which of the fragments is visible currently). Easiest way is to start with an empty JSON model. If you are familiar with manifest.json config, add it there. if not, you could add this in your Components init method:
this.setModel(new JSONModel(), "config");
This way, the new empty model is available under the name "config" in all the views of the app.
Now, we will add a visibility flag, which will control the visibility of your fragments (tables), and can be changed by the select:
<Select selectedKey="{config>/selectedFragmentKey}">
<core:Item key="" text="Please choose one" />
<core:Item key="showFragment1" text="Show Fragment 1" />
<core:Item key="showFragment2" text="Show Fragment 2" />
</Select>
This new version will store the key of the selected item in the config model in the path /selectedFragment. Add visibility flag to fragments (tables):
<!-- table 1 is only visible if "Show Fragment 1" was selected -->
<Table visible="{= ${config>/selectedFragmentKey} === 'showFragment1'}" .../>
<!-- table 2 is only visible if "Show Fragment 2" was selected -->
<Table visible="{= ${config>/selectedFragmentKey} === 'showFragment2'}" .../>
and you're done.
Main lesson here: learn to use bindings.
If I understood the question correctly, you have a selection control (which has 2 entries), and a table in the view. Based on the selection item, you want to display ONE of the tables at any given point of time. I am also assuming here, that the tables are purely used in the current view only & not really a "re-useable" thing - which gets used in different places of the app (which then renders the use of fragments an overkill).
I am assuming, both tables are bound (although to different data sets).
In that case, consider using the "visible" property of the appropriate table to "false".
Remember - all UI components, including tables inherit from sap.ui.core.Control - which has the "visible" property.
In API reference for table : https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.ui.table.Table%23methods/Summary
If you scroll down to "Borrowed from:" section, you will see the "setVisible" and "getVisibe" methods.
So, in the event fired during selection change, you can grab the table control & set the visibility using the aforementioned methods.
Alternatively, you can also set an expression binding directly on the table control in XML, which evaluates to "true" or "false" (perhaps using a formatter).
Let me know if you need further info on this.

Typo3 change how objects are rendered (typo3 beginner)

I'm fairly new to typo3 and I have an issue that i don't find an explanation on how to change it. I'm sure there are already some helpful tutorials but i have issues finding them.
I am making a website and I have already made a template for fontend and backend.
It is a very simple test template that consists only of one slider and one text element.
The slider is handmade and should have the following layout:
<section class="custom-slider">
<img src="img1.jpg">
<img src="img2.jpg">
...
</section>
Thought easy, i have my slider place in my template, just need to add plain images.
but typo3 gives me:
<section class="custom-slider">
<div id="c3" class="frame frame-default frame-type-image frame-layout-0"><header><h2 class=""></h2></header><div class="ce-image ce-center ce-above"><div class="ce-gallery" data-ce-columns="1" data-ce-images="1"><div class="ce-outer"><div class="ce-inner"><div class="ce-row"><div class="ce-column"><figure class="image"><img class="image-embed-item" src="fileadmin/_processed_/1/2/csm_slider1_c3fdcdcaf5.jpg" width="600" height="187" alt="" /></figure></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
</section>
Now i search how i can make my own custom elements or render existing elements different. I have found a lot of tutorials but they all are based on 'Extension Builder' or 'Builder' and require a custom extention. These don't seem to work on Typo3 8.7.x. Is there a different solution or can someone give me a good tutorial link?
Thank you in advanst:)
Ps: since i will have the same problem with styled text elements i would like to ask if there is a way to declare in the themplate how different predeterment elements are rendered?
In TYPO3 8.7 (I assume) your rendering is done with FSC (fluid_styled_content), so you have to understand the mechanism of FSC to render a CE (ContentElement).
As the name suggests Fluid is used. Fluid uses different templates organized in three categories (each with it's own folder):
Layouts
Templates
Partials
The call goes to a template (in the folder 'templates') where a tag can be inserted to use a specific layout (from floder 'Layouts'). if this tag is given the rendering starts with the given layout. In the layout different sections and partials can be called. Sections belong to the template, partials need to have an own partial file (in folder 'Partials').
You can override single files from the given declaration to individulize the behaviour.
In your example you may evaluate the field layout in layout, template and partial to avoid the default wrapping of any content (your images) in different div tags.

How to make drop-down values to be easily authorable content in CQ

I was trying to understand how can we make drop-down values in dialog box easily authorable?
Select lists in dialogs can load their options dynamically from anywhere, so long as they are provided as an array of values in JSON format (from the docs):
[
{
value: "pink",
text: "Pink",
qtip: "Real Pink"
}
]
So one solution would be to:
Create a new template that would allow an editor to add/remove values from a list — make this editable for content authors as per any other content (e.g. using the page properties, or components that you can drag onto that template).
Create a Servlet that will parse those values & output them in the expected JSON.
Register that servlet, e.g. via a path (/bin/selectvalues).
Using the cqinclude xtype to load in your values:
i.e.
<select
type="select"
xtype="selection"
options="/bin/selectvalues"/>
If you are looking for a drop-in solution for this, take a look at http://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/generic-lists.html. This supports easily authorable lists of name/value pairs which can be used (without writing additional code) in:
Classic UI Dialogs
Touch UI Dialogs
Touch UI Asset Metadata Editor

Add attributes to Insert Image dialogue of Umbraco RTE or Create Custom Data type

How can I add attributes to the current Insert Image dialogue box on umbraco Richtext Editor?
What I really want is to let content editor choose images and set their class, and maybe choose if this is lightbox image or not. If user choose lighbox option, then a hyper link is added with some extra attributes, like data-rel. I even want to be able to modify the image url added by the content editor, if possible.
The output should look like this
<a href="/media/2813/DSC_2615.JPG" data-rel="prettyPhoto[gal-3-col]" >
<img src="http://domain.com/imageGen.ashx?
image=%2fmedia%2f2813%2fDSC_2615.JPG&width=420" alt="DSC_2615" title="DSC_2615"
class="alignright">
</a>
I found this very useful link http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst8163_TinyMCE--insert-image-dialog.aspx which solve half of my issue, but I can't figure out how to continue
Default umbraco tinymce add image interface is
<plugin loadOnFrontend="false">umbracoimg</plugin>
I was able to modify it to show additional field in the image selection interface, then render markup I want.
I edited \umbraco\plugins\tinymce3\insertImage.aspx, added my field there and some jquery logic:
<ui:PropertyPanel id="pp_desc" runat="server" Text="Description">
<input type="text" id="title" style="width: 300px"/>
</ui:PropertyPanel>
...
Then if you are adding custom attributes, you might want to add them to \config\umbracoSettings.config
<!-- what attributes that are allowed in the editor on an img tag -->
<allowedAttributes>src,alt,title,border,class,style,align,id,name,onclick,usemap</allowedAttributes>
and \config\tinyMceConfig.config
<validElements>
<![CDATA[+a[id|style|rel|rev|charset|hreflang|dir|lang|tabindex|accesskey|type|name|href|target|title|class|onfocus|onblur|onclick|

Then I modified the .js that is in charge of rendering html that will be added to tinymce editor:
\umbraco_client\tinymce3\plugins\umbracoimg\js\image.js
ed.execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, '<div id="__dimps_width" class="img-with-text"><img id="__mce_tmp" /><p id="__dimps_desc">description</p></div>', { skip_undo: 1 });
ed.dom.setAttribs('__mce_tmp', args);
ed.dom.setAttrib('__mce_tmp', 'id', '');
ed.dom.setAttribs('__dimps_width', {style: 'width: ' + nl.width.value + 'px;'});
...
One important thing: everything is cached and bundled, so to make sure your changes was applied remove all files from \app_data\TEMP\ClientDependency\ and use new instance of incognito browser. You probably can disable it somewhere, but I just removed the cache.
There is no magic in Umbraco TinyMCE. Just a bunch of .aspx and .js code. Modify it to your needs.
