Manual¶

What does it do?¶

This extension provides loading and saving of m:n relations for the FORMidable extension (extension key “ameos_formidable”) 2.0.0 and higher.

Installation¶

install ameos_formidable in version 2.0.0 or higher

install dh_dbmm

delete typo3cond/temp_CACHED*

Usage¶

In the XML configuration of your FORMidable form, provide the name of the m:n table for all fields that use m:n relations:

<control>
        <datahandler:DBMM>
                <tablename>tx_seminars_seminars</tablename>
                <keyname>uid</keyname>
                <labelname>title</labelname>
                <mmrelations>
                        <relation field="categories"
mmtable="tx_seminars_seminars_categories_mm" />
                        <relation field="place" mmtable="tx_seminars_seminars_place_mm" />
                        <relation field="lodgings" mmtable="tx_seminars_seminars_lodgings_mm" />
                        <relation field="foods" mmtable="tx_seminars_seminars_foods_mm" />
                        <relation field="speakers" mmtable="tx_seminars_seminars_speakers_mm" />
                        <relation field="partners"
mmtable="tx_seminars_seminars_speakers_mm_partners" />
                        <relation field="tutors"
mmtable="tx_seminars_seminars_speakers_mm_tutors" />
                        <relation field="leaders"
mmtable="tx_seminars_seminars_speakers_mm_leaders" />
                        <relation field="target_groups"
mmtable="tx_seminars_seminars_target_groups_mm" />

This will also work if you configure your form using TS Setup instead of XML.

Known limitations¶

This extension currently does not support bidirectional m:n relations.

This extension does not work (and is not needed) with FORMidable 1.x.x. That version of FORMidable brings its own m:n data handler (which uses exactly the same format, but uses a separate data handler name).
