Important: The address selects of a page contact are relations
Description
The e-mail address, phone number and postal address selects of a page contact
choose one address record of its contract, or "display all" (
0
) or
"display none" (
-1
). They now declare the address table of
academic_ as their
foreign_, limited to the records
of the contact's contract. TYPO3 therefore knows the stored values as
relations.
Before, the selects worked on bare uids:
- A copied contract, or a copied profile with its contracts, left its page contacts selecting the addresses of the original.
- The reference index knew nothing of a selection.
- A selection that matched none of the offered addresses, for example after the contract of the contact was switched, was dropped from the form and written away on the next save.
A copy of a contract or of a profile now selects the copies of the selected
addresses, and a translation of a contract keeps its page contacts on the
default language addresses. The extension does this in a
Data
hook rather than leaving it to TYPO3, which would also remap the selection of
a translated page contact to the translated address. The fields name their
address table in
dont for that reason.
The selects still offer each address of the contract once, and the editor's access to the folder of the person records does not narrow them, just as it does not narrow the contract select.
Impact
Stored values keep their meaning, and neither the database schema nor an upgrade wizard is involved.
A selection that matches none of the offered addresses stays stored. The form shows it with the "missing label" marker of TYPO3, and a save that does not touch the select keeps it.
The reference index gets a row for every selected address, and one with the
uid
-1
for "display none", as for the
-1
and
-2
of a
frontend user group selection. Existing page contacts get their rows on their
next save, or at once with:
vendor/bin/typo3 referenceindex:updateA listener of
\FGTCLB\
still receives the final item list, after the extension replaced the record
items TYPO3 added.
Affected Installations
Every installation that uses the address selects of page contacts, and in particular those that copy contracts or profiles or translate contracts.
