[TYPO3-english] TYPO3 6.0: Using FAL image in a flexform as an element

[Udo Leimberger]

Hello @all,
I tried to add a FAL image as an element in a flexform.

Here is my flexformcode:
----
<settings.newimage>
<TCEforms>
<config>
<type>inline</type>
<foreign_table>sys_file_reference</foreign_table>
<foreign_field>uid_foreign</foreign_field>
<foreign_sortby>sorting_foreign</foreign_sortby>
<foreign_table_field>tablenames</foreign_table_field>
<foreign_match_fields type="array">
<fieldname>image</fieldname>
</foreign_match_fields>
<foreign_label>uid_local</foreign_label>
<foreign_selector>uid_local</foreign_selector>
<maxItems>2</maxItems>
<foreign_selector_fieldTcaOverride type="array">
<config>
<appearance>
<elementBrowserType>file</elementBrowserType>
<elementBrowserAllowed>jpg,png</elementBrowserAllowed>
</appearance>
</config>
</foreign_selector_fieldTcaOverride>
<appearance type="array">
<createNewRelationLinkTitle>Add new Image</createNewRelationLinkTitle>
<useSortable>TRUE</useSortable>
<showPossibleLocalizationRecords>TRUE</showPossibleLocalizationRecords>
<showRemovedLocalizationRecords>TRUE</showRemovedLocalizationRecords>
<showSynchronizationLink>TRUE</showSynchronizationLink>
<enabledControls type="array">
<info>FALSE</info>
<new>TRUE</new>
<dragdrop>TRUE</dragdrop>
<sort>TRUE</sort>
<hide>TRUE</hide>
<delete>TRUE</delete>
<localize>TRUE</localize>
</enabledControls>
<levelLinksPosition>both</levelLinksPosition>
</appearance>
<behaviour>
<localizationMode>select</localizationMode>
<localizeChildrenAtParentLocalization>TRUE</localizeChildrenAtParentLocalization>
</behaviour>
</config>
</TCEforms>
</settings.newimage>

This works but I have some questions. Perhaps there are some bugs also.

1) How can you change a palette view for this element. If I render a flexform with the config above .. i can add images with title and descriptions, but i miss alternate text and link like in an regular FAL image CE.

2) if I change parameters in the enabledControls section i.e. detele => TRUE to delete => FALSE the paperbasket for deleting items is already in the rendered form. Same to hide or new.

3) Maxitems - parameter seems to have no influence.

Does anybody have the same problems with FAL images (media) in a flexform ?

Regards
Udo

This works for me: Index 2 = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File::FILETYPE_IMAGE

<settings.newimage>
<TCEforms>
<config>
...

<foreign_types type="array">
<numIndex index="2">

<showitem>title,description,alternative,link</showitem>
</numIndex>
</foreign_types>

</config>
</TCEforms>
</settings.newimage>

Hi bigboz,

thanks for your answer..Index 2 did the magic thing. Thank you.
To use Core paletts ist is a good thing to use it like this:

<foreign_types type="array">
<numIndex index="2" type="array">
<showitem>--palette--;LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette;imageoverlayPalette,--palette--;;filePalette</showitem>
</numIndex>
</foreign_types>

perfect.
Any idea for problem numer 2) or 3) ?

regards Udo

Hi Udo,

2) if I change parameters in the enabledControls section i.e. detele =>
TRUE to delete => FALSE the paperbasket for deleting items is already in
the rendered form. Same to hide or new.

I've debugged the whole rendering process for these beasties - what a pain
;). The flags are compared to false, but the Flexform-Value gets resolved to
(string)"FALSE", so they're in fact true. You have to leave them empty to
work. Don't know if this is to be considered bug or feature.

3) Maxitems - parameter seems to have no influence.

I think its maxitems - not maxItems

Hope this helps

PS: How do you work with this list? I don't get the grip of this
"mailinglist"-thing. I've just figured out how to answer because your
initial question got me running with FAL in flexform :)

Try a real newsreader instead of some www gateway:
