File¶

New in version 12.0: The type file supersedes the usage of TCA type inline with foreign_table set to sys_file_reference.

The TCA type file creates a field where files can be attached to the record.

Examples¶

'columns' => [
    'my_image' => [
        'label' => 'My image',
        'config' => [
            'type' => 'file',
            'maxitems' => 6,
            'allowed' => 'common-image-types'
        ],
    ],
],

Migration¶

// Before
'columns' => [
    'image' => [
        'label' => 'My image',
        'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig(
            'image',
            [
                'maxitems' => 6,
            ],
            $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']
        ),
    ],
],

// After
'columns' => [
    'image' => [
        'label' => 'My image',
        'config' => [
            'type' => 'file',
            'maxitems' => 6,
            'allowed' => 'common-image-types'
        ],
    ],
],

Another example without usage of the API method would therefore look like this:

// Before
'columns' => [
    'image' => [
        'label' => 'My image',
        'config' => [
            'type' => 'inline',
            'foreign_table' => 'sys_file_reference',
            'foreign_field' => 'uid_foreign',
            'foreign_sortby' => 'sorting_foreign',
            'foreign_table_field' => 'tablenames',
            'foreign_match_fields' => [
                'fieldname' => 'image',
            ],
            'foreign_label' => 'uid_local',
            'foreign_selector' => 'uid_local',
            'overrideChildTca' => [
                'columns' => [
                    'uid_local' => [
                        'config' => [
                            'appearance' => [
                                'elementBrowserType' => 'file',
                                'elementBrowserAllowed' => 'jpg,png,gif',
                            ],
                        ],
                    ],
                ],
            ],
        ]
    ],
],

// After
'columns' => [
    'image' => [
        'label' => 'My image',
        'config' => [
            'type' => 'file',
            'allowed' => ['jpg','png','gif'],
        ],
    ],
],
