ModifyEditFileFormDataEvent

New in version 12.1: This event can be used as an improved alternative for the removed $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['typo3/file_edit.php']['preOutputProcessingHook'] hook.

The PSR-14 event \TYPO3\CMS\Filelist\Event\ModifyEditFileFormDataEvent allows to modify the form data, used to render the file edit form in the File > Filelist module using FormEngine data compiling.

Example

EXT:my_extension/Classes/FileList/EventListener/MyEventListener.php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyVendor\MyExtension\FileList\EventListener;

use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsEventListener;
use TYPO3\CMS\Filelist\Event\ModifyEditFileFormDataEvent;

#[AsEventListener(
    identifier: 'my-extension/modify-edit-file-form-data'
)]
final class MyEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(ModifyEditFileFormDataEvent $event): void
    {
        // Get current form data
        $formData = $event->getFormData();

        // Change TCA "renderType" based on the file extension
        $fileExtension = $event->getFile()->getExtension();
        if ($fileExtension === 'ts') {
            $formData['processedTca']['columns']['data']['config']['renderType'] = 'tsRenderer';
        }

        // Set updated form data
        $event->setFormData($formData);
    }
}

New in version 13.0: The PHP attribute \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsEventListener has been introduced to tag a PHP class as an event listener. Alternatively, or if you need to be compatible with older TYPO3 versions, you can also register an event listener via the Configuration/Services.yaml file. Switch to an older version of this page for an example or have a look at the section Implementing an event listener in your extension.
