Sheet References

If Data Structures are arranged in a collection of sheets you can choose to store one or more sheets externally in separate files. This is done by setting the value of the <[sheet ident]> tag to a relative file reference instead of being a definition of the <ROOT> element.

Example

Taking the Data Structure from the previous example we could rearrange it in separate files:

Main Data Structure:

<T3DataStructure>
    <sheets>
        <sDEF>EXT:my_extension/Configuration/FlexForms/sheets/default_sheet.xml</sDEF>
        <s_welcome>EXT:my_extension/Configuration/FlexForms/sheets/welcome_sheet.xml</s_welcome>
    </sheets>
</T3DataStructure>

EXT:my_extension/Configuration/FlexForms/sheets/default_sheet.xml

<T3DataStructure>
    <ROOT>
        <sheetTitle>
            LLL:EXT:felogin/locallang_db.xlf:tt_content.pi_flexform.sheet_general
        </sheetTitle>
        <type>array</type>
        <el>
            <showForgotPassword>
                <label>
                    LLL:EXT:felogin/locallang_db.xlf:tt_content.pi_flexform.show_forgot_password
                </label>
                <config>
                    <type>check</type>
                    <items type="array">
                        <numIndex index="1" type="array">
                            <label>
                                LLL:EXT:core/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_core.xlf:labels.enabled
                            </label>
                            <value>1</value>
                        </numIndex>
                    </items>
                </config>
            </showForgotPassword>
            <showPermaLogin>
                <label>
                    LLL:EXT:felogin/locallang_db.xlf:tt_content.pi_flexform.show_permalogin
                </label>
                <config>
                    <default>1</default>
                    <type>check</type>
                    <items type="array">
                        <numIndex index="1" type="array">
                            <label>
                                LLL:EXT:core/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_core.xlf:labels.enabled
                            </label>
                            <value>1</value>
                        </numIndex>
                    </items>
                </config>
            </showPermaLogin>
            // ...
        </el>
    </ROOT>
</T3DataStructure>

and the same for the other sheet welcome_sheet.xml.
