Data structure (ds)¶
- ds¶
- Path
$GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['columns'][$field]['config']
- Type
array
- Scope
Display / Proc.
Data Structure(s) defined in an array.
Each key is a value that can be pointed to by ds_pointerField. Default key is "default" which is what you should use if you do not have a
ds_pointerField
value of course.If you specified more than one
ds_pointerField
, the keys in this "ds" array should contain comma-separated value pairs where the asterisk * matches all values (see the example below). If you don't need to switch for the second ds_pointerField, it's also possible to use only the firstds_pointerField
's value as a key in the "ds" array without necessarily suffixing it with ",*" for a catch-all on the secondds_pointerField
.For each value in the array there are two options:
Either enter XML directly
Make a reference to an external XML file
Examples¶
Example with XML directly entered¶
'config' => [
'type' => 'flex',
'ds_pointerField' => 'list_type',
'ds' => [
'default' => '
<T3DataStructure>
<ROOT>
<type>array</type>
<el>
<xmlTitle>
<TCEforms>
<label>The Title:</label>
<config>
<type>input</type>
</config>
</TCEforms>
</xmlTitle>
</el>
</ROOT>
</T3DataStructure>

],
Example with XML in external file¶
'config' => [
'type' => 'flex',
'ds_pointerField' => 'list_type',
'ds' => [
'default' => 'FILE:EXT:mininews/Configuration/FlexForms/Mininews.xml',
