Attention

TYPO3 v6 has reached its end-of-life April 18th, 2017 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is strongly recommended updating your project.

Sheet references

If Data Structures are arranged in a collection of sheets you can choose to store one or more sheets externally in separate files. This is done by setting the value of the <[sheet ident]> tag to a relative file reference instead of being a definition of the <ROOT> element.

Example

Taking the Data Structure from the previous example we could rearrange it in separate files:

Main Data Structure:

<T3DataStructure>
  <sheets>
        <sDEF>fileadmin/sheets/default_sheet.xml</sDEF>
    <s_welcome>fileadmin/sheets/welcome_sheet.xml</s_welcome>
  </sheets>
</T3DataStructure>

EXT:news/Configuration/FlexForms/Sheets/Default.xml:

<T3DataStructure>
             <ROOT>
                     <TCEforms>
                             <sheetTitle>LLL:EXT:felogin/locallang_db.xml:tt_content.pi_flexform.sheet_general</sheetTitle>
                     </TCEforms>
                     <type>array</type>
                     <el>
                             <showForgotPassword>
                                     <TCEforms>
                                             <label>LLL:EXT:felogin/locallang_db.xml:tt_content.pi_flexform.show_forgot_password</label>
                                             <config>
                                                     <type>check</type>
                                                     <items type="array">
                                                             <numIndex index="1" type="array">
                                                                     <numIndex index="0">LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_core.xml:labels.enabled</numIndex>
                                                                     <numIndex index="1">1</numIndex>
                                                             </numIndex>
                                                     </items>

                             <showPermaLogin>
                                     <TCEforms>

                                             <config>

                                                     <type>check</type>
                                                     <items type="array">
                                                             <numIndex index="1" type="array">

                                                                     <numIndex index="1">1</numIndex>
                                                             </numIndex>
                                                     </items>
                                             </config>
                                     </TCEforms>
                             </showPermaLogin>
                             ...
                     </el>
             </ROOT>
</T3DataStructure>

and so on for the two other sheets.
