- showitem¶
- Path
$GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['types'][$type]
- Required
true
- Type
string
- Scope
string (list of field configuration sets)
Configuration of the displayed order of fields in FormEngine and their tab alignment.
The whole string is a comma
,
separated list of tokens. Each token can have keywords separated by semicolon;
.Each comma separated token is one of the following:
fieldName;fieldLabel
Name of a field to show. Optionally an alternative label (string or LLL reference) to override the default label from columns section.
--palette--;paletteLabel;paletteName
Name of a palette to show. The label (string or LLL reference) is optional. If set, it is shown above the single palette fields. The palette name is required and must reference a palette from the palette section.
--palette--;;caching // Show palette "caching" without additional label --palette--;Caching;caching // Show palette "caching" with label "Caching"
--div--;tabLabel
Put all fields after this token onto a new tab and name the tab as given in "tabLabel" (string or LLL reference).
Examples¶
A form with 3 fields¶
'types' => [
'0' => [
'showitem' => 'hidden, title, poem,',
],
],
The above example shows three fields of the form. Since no further '--div--' are specified, there would be only one tab. In this case FormEngine will suppress that single tab and just show all specified fields without a tabbing indicator.
A form with two tabs¶
'types' => [
'0' => [
'showitem' => '
hidden, title, poem,
--div--;LLL:EXT:examples/locallang_db.xml:tx_examples_haiku.images, image1, image2,
'
],
],
Put three fields on first tab "General" and the two fields "image1" and "image2" on a second tab with the localized name found in "EXT:examples/locallang_db.xml:tx_examples_haiku.images".
Rename the tab "General"¶
'types' => [
'0' => [
'showitem' => '
--div--;LLL:EXT:examples/locallang_db.xml:tx_examples_haiku.images, hidden, title, poem,
--div--;LLL:EXT:examples/locallang_db.xml:tx_examples_haiku.images, image1, image2,
'
],
],
Similar to the example before, but rename the "General" tab to the string specified in label "LLL:EXT:examples/locallang_db.xml:tx_examples_haiku.images".
Note
It is good practice to add a comma in excess behind the very last field name as shown in the examples above. The FormEngine code will ignore this, but it helps developers to not forget about a comma when additional fields are added, which can suppress an annoying "Why is my new field not displayed?" bug hunt.
