I have created a custom field sugarfield_ast_rec_link_c.php in custom/Extension/modules/Calls/Ext/Vardefs with such content:
`
<?php
$dictionary['Calls']['fields']['ast_rec_link_c'] = array
('name' => 'ast_rec_link_c',
'vname' => 'LBL_AST_REC_LINK_C',
'type' => 'varchar',
'len' => '255',
'source' => 'non-db',
'function' => array('name'=>'getRecordLink',
'returns'=>'html',
'include'=>'custom/modules/Calls/CustomLogic.php')
);
?>
`
Also aded language file in custom/Extension/modules/Calls/Ext/Language. After quick repair my custom field doesn't appear in Studio -> Calls -> Fields. So I can't put it on views. Can anyone help?
You should change
<?php
$dictionary['Calls']['fields']['ast_rec_link_c'] = array(...);
to
<?php
$dictionary['Call']['fields']['ast_rec_link_c'] = array(...);
Remember you should always use bean name (not module one!) as a $dictionary array key while defining new custom fields.
In my opinion best way to check if everything is OK with your custom vardefs is to compare your own ones with existing in cache/modules/<module_name>/BEAN_NAMEvardefs.php

The title is rather self explanatory, but what i would like to have is a dynamic default value.
The idea behind it is to get the biggest number from a column in the database and then add one to the result. This result should be saved as the default value.
Lets take for example this code:
$GLOBALS['TCA'][$modelName]['columns']['autojobnumber'] = array(
'exclude' => true,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:path/To/The/LLL:tx_extension_domain_model_job_autojobnumber',
'config' => [
'type' => 'input',
'size' => 10,
'eval' => 'trim,int',
'readOnly' =>1,
'default' => $result,
]
);
The SQL looks like this:
$queryBuilder = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ConnectionPool::class)->getQueryBuilderForTable('tx_extension_domain_model_job');
$getBiggestNumber = $queryBuilder
->select('autojobnumber')
->from('tx_extension_domain_model_job')
->groupBy('autojobnumber')
->orderBy('autojobnumber', 'DESC')
->setMaxResults(1)
->execute()
->fetchColumn(0);
$result = $getBiggestNumber + 1;
So how can i do that "clean"?
I thought about processCmdmap_preProcess but i dont know how to pass the value to the coorisponding TCA field. Plus i do not get any results on my backend when i use the DebuggerUtility like i get them when i use processDatamap_afterAllOperations after saving the Object.
Can someone point me to the right direction?
I don't think it is supported to create a dynamic default value, see default property of input field.
What you can do however, is to create your own type (use this instead of type="input"). You can use the "user" type. (It might also be possible to create your own renderType for type="input", I never did this, but created custom renderTypes for type= "select").
You can look at the code of InputTextElement, extend that or create your own from scratch.
core code: InputTextElement
documentation for user type
more examples in FormEngine documentation
Example
(slightly modified, from documentation)
ext_localconf.php:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['formEngine']['nodeRegistry'][<current timestamp>] = [
'nodeName' => 'customInputField',
'priority' => 40,
'class' => \T3docs\Examples\Form\Element\CustomInputElement::class,
];
CustomInputElement
<?php
declare(strict_types = 1);
namespace Myvendor\MyExtension\Backend\FormEngine\Element\CustomInputElement;
use TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Form\Element\AbstractFormElement;
// extend from AbstractFormElement
// alternatively, extend from existing Type and extend it.
class CustomInputElement extends AbstractFormElement
{
public function render():array
{
$resultArray = $this->initializeResultArray();
// add some HTML
$resultArray['html'] = 'something ...';
// ... see docs + core for more info what you can set here!
return $resultArray;
}
}
When I try to add the wizard named wizard_geo_selector in TCA ,there arised an error "module not registered".Please tell me how to register the wizard properly in the TCA.?
In TYPO3 Version 7.6 new wizards are added like this:
Inside your extension create the directory Configuration/Backend/
In the new directory create a file Routes.php, it will be found automatically, no mentioning in ext_localconf.php or ext_tables.php is required. If you still need Ajax you can add the file AjaxRoutes.php in the same folder.
Content for Routes.php:
return array(
'my_wizard_element' => array(
'path' => '/wizard/tx_geoselecotor/geo_selector_wizard',
'target' => \Path\To\your\class\WizardGeoSelector::class . '::WizardAction'
),
);
Content for AjaxRoutes.php
<?php
/**
* Definitions for routes provided by EXT:backend
* Contains all AJAX-based routes for entry points
*
* Currently the "access" property is only used so no token creation + validation is made
* but will be extended further.
*/
return array('my_ajax_element' => array(
'path' => 'tx_geoselecotor/my_ajax_route',
'target' => \Path\To\your\class\MyAjaxController::class .'::myAjaxFunction'
));
If you're unsure about the notation you can compare with existing entries in the Global Variables in the Backend:
Navigate to System -> Configuration -> Backend Routes
The route of the paths is handled different, for Ajax it's always "ajax" prepended, so you've never to add it to the path, else it's twice in the route. For the common route there is no change concerning the defined string.
Now the wizard can be used and even it never has to be defined in ext_tables.php it has to be mentioned there from any table-field in the configuration-area (module[name]):
'table_field_for_wizard' => array(
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xml:table_name.tx_myextension_wizard',
'config' => array (
'type' => 'user',
'userFunc' => 'Path/to/class/without/wizard->renderForm',
'wizards' => array(
'my_wizard' => array(
'type' => 'popup',
'title' => 'MyTitle',
'JSopenParams' => 'height=700,width=780,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1',
'icon' => 'EXT:' . $_EXTKEY . '/Resources/Public/img/link_popup.gif',
'module' => array(
'name' => 'my_wizard_element',
'urlParameters' => array(
'mode' => 'wizard',
'ajax' => '0',
'any' => '... parameters you need'
),
),
),
'_VALIGN' => 'middle',
'_PADDING' => '4',
),
# Optional
#'softref'=>'something',
),
),
In the userFunc Path/to/class/without/wizard->renderForm you've to create a button which is linking to the wizard and onClick the wizard will open with the route you defined in Routes.php and the optional urlParameters.
Currently I never found this whole item explained in the core-documentation.
Edit:
Details about routing can be found here: Routing
The rendering process can be found here: Rendering / NodeFactory
You should probably read also the outer context of the linked paragraph.
Edit 2:
An example extension can be found here, some things never work 100% but the wizard is working. The extension is for TYPO3 Version 7:
https://github.com/DavidBruchmann/imagemap_wizard
Ricky's answer doesn't really work anymore, since addModulePath ist deprecated since version 7.
Also, just registering the module like this still give's you said error.
The only thing that keeps the wizard going again is this:
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addModule('wizard','pbsurvey_answers',"",\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::extPath($_EXTKEY).'wizard/');
But when you add this, the module appears as a new point in your TYPO3 backend.
IN TCA add the wizard like follows:
'module' => array(
'name' => 'wizard_geo_selector',
),
In ext_tables.php register the wizard.
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addModulePath(
'wizard_geo_selector',
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::extPath($_EXTKEY) . 'Modules/Wizards/Yourwizardname/'
);
Keep in mind this is deprecated since Typo3 7 and removed in Typo3 8.So you can use this method upto Typo3 7.For Typo3 8 do use the method specified by David below.
I am developing an application with CakePHP 2.3.2 and I am having some trouble with an input select on a form. I am creating an array, in my Controller, which contains a list of states. In my View I find that when I use this variable in the 'options' field of the input I do not get any select options. If I do a print_r on the variable, in the view, I see exactly what I think I should be seeing for the 'options' field. I have even tried copying this print_r output and putting it in the 'options' field and then the input select works fine.
Here is what I have
In Controller
$options = 'array(1 => \'NSW\',2 => \'ACT\',3 => \'NT\');
$this->set('all_states, $options);
In View
<?php
$options = $all_states;
echo $this->Form->create('Refine', array('url => '/ServiceDirectoryResults/view/refine'));
echo $this->Form->input('field' ,array(
'type' => 'select',
'label' => false,
'options' => $options
));
echo $this->Form->end('Refine Search');
?>
When I run this I see a select with no select options
If I add print_r($options) after the echo $this->Form->end('Refine Search'); I see
array(1 => 'NSW',2 => 'ACT,3 => 'NT')
Which is what I would expect as it is the content of the $options variable which was the $all_states variable passed from the controller. If I take this output from the print_r and replace the $option with it in the input select the select drop down works fine and I see the three options. For some reason I can't work out the select is working fine if I hard code the select options but it will not work if I pass a variable containing the array to the input select.
I would really appreciate if if someone could give me a clue what I am doing wrong here.
Kind Regards
Richard
you might try it like below:
echo $this->Form->input('field', array('type'=>'select','label' => false,
'options' => $options,'default'=>'2'));
to the following HTML being generated:
<option value="2" selected="selected">ACT</option>
option two is shown instead any other one.
Likely issue:
Arrays should not be made as strings like you have:
$options = 'array(1 => \'NSW\',2 => \'ACT\',3 => \'NT\');
Instead, just make an array:
$options = array(1 => 'NSW', 2 => 'ACT', 3 => 'NT');
Other notes:
Why are you setting $options to $all_states only to set it back?
Missing quotes all over - make sure if you start quotes, that you also end them
not good practice to hard-code your URLs (like in your Form->create)
I need a straight forward working example how I can include a collection element in Zend Form, I have seen some examples from Zend Framework 2 site and from previous posts in StackOverflow where most of them pointed to this link. But right now I am not using Fieldsets and staying with Forms, so in case if someone can direct me in the right way, how I can include a simple collection element when the user gets a page where the user can choose multiple choices from the shown collection form. Much better would be populating the collection form from database.
I have searched in the internet for quite a sometime now and thought I would post here, so that Zend profis can give their suggestions.
Just For Information:
Normally one can include a static dropdownbox in Zend Form in this fashion
$this->add(
array(
'name' => "countr",
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Select',
'options' => array(
'label' => "Countries",
'options' => array(
'country1' => 'Brazil',
'country2' => 'USA',
'country3' => 'Mexico',
'country4' => 'France',
)
)
)
);
So I am expecting a simple example which could give me a basic idea how this can be done.
To be honest, I don't see your problem here. Since form collections extend Fieldset which extends Element, you can just add it to the form as a regular element. The view helpers will take care of the rendering recursively.
Step 1: Create a form collection (create an instance of Zend\Form\Element\Collection). If the elements have to be added dynamically in some way, I'd create a factory class for this purpose.
Step 2: Add it to the form. (For example using $form->add($myCollectionInstance).)
Step 3: Render it. Zend\Form\View\Helper\Collection is a pretty good view helper to render the whole form without any pain.
You can also create a new class extending Zend\Form\Element\Collection and use the constructor to add the fields you need. Thus, you can add it to the form using the array you've pasted in your question. Also, you could directly use it in annotations.
Hope this helps.
If you just want to fill in a select list with option values you can add the array to the select list in a controller:
$form = new MyForm();
$form->get('countr')->setOptions(array('value_options'=>array(
'country1' => 'Brazil',
'country2' => 'USA',
'country3' => 'Mexico',
'country4' => 'France',
));
the array can be fetched from db.
this is a different example for using form collections in the simplest way.
In this example it creates input text elements in a collection and fills them in. The number of elements depends on the array:
class MyForm extends \Zend\Form\Form
{
$this->add(array(
'type' => '\Zend\Form\Element\Collection',
'name' => 'myCollection',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'My collection',
'allow_add' => true,
)
));
}
class IndexController extends AbstractActionController
{
public function indexAction
{
$form = new MyForm();
$this->addElementsFromArray($form, array(
'country1' => 'Brazil',
'country2' => 'USA',
'country3' => 'Mexico',
'country4' => 'France',
));
//the above line can be replaced if fetching the array from a db table:
//$arrayFromDb = getArrayFromDb();
//$this->addElementsFromArray($form, $arrayFromDb);
return array(
'form' => $form
);
}
private function addElementsFromArray($form, $array)
{
foreach ($array as $key=>$value)
{
$form->get('myCollection')->add(array(
//'type' => '\Zend\Form\Element\SomeElement',
'name' => $key,
'options' => array(
'label' => $key,
),
'attributes' => array(
'value' => $value,
)
));
}
}
}
index.phtml:
$form->setAttribute('action', $this->url('home'))
->prepare();
echo $this->form()->openTag($form);
echo $this->formCollection($form->get('myCollection'));
echo $this->form()->closeTag();
I try it via my Zend_form:
$output .= $this->_view->render('admin/form.phtml'
, array('id' => $this->getName()
, 'action' => $this->getAction()
, 'method' => $this->getMethod()
, 'enctype' => $this->getEnctype()
, 'data' => array('code' => $code
, 'name' => $name
, 'description' => $description)));
but when i <?php echo $this->enctype; ?> in admin/form.phtml i got nothing.
admin/form.phtml is rendered correctly
Choosing render just displays the output, Zend does not pass your data to the view. But Using view partials, you could achieve that.
From the documentation,
The Partial view helper is used to render a specified template within
its own variable scope. The primary use is for reusable template
fragments with which you do not need to worry about variable name
clashes. Additionally, they allow you to specify partial view scripts
from specific modules.
