DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

ForeignMultipleMm

ForeignMultipleMm form element

There is a dropdown to select entries from which are then saved into the relation (MM) table.

The idea here is to select multiple entries from another table and saving the relations (our original entry and one with one or many entries from the foreign table) in a separate relation (MM) table. Our original table, by the way, always is updated with the current number of relations.

nMaxCount

Number. If bigger than 0, this is the maximum amount of elements taken.

bShowAsMultipleCheckboxes

Boolean. If set to true, checkboxes for all (!) possible options are shown in order to allow the user to check the applicable ones. Of course, this makes sense only if there are not too many options. Default is false.

sForeignDatabase

String. If set and different from the default database in this SQL Frontend, all calls relevant to this foreign key are executed on this foreign database. Keep in mind that the database has to be accessible by the same database user as defined in dbal.

sForeignTable

String. The table to fetch the entries from (within the same database).

sForeignColumn

String. Column/Field to save into the relation table.

sForeignColumnShow

String. The column/field to show to the user.

sForeignTableOrderBy

String. The column/field to sort the foreign table by. Define the order in which to present the values in the form element to the user. Append an ASC (from a to z) or DESC (from z to a) to specify the direction.

Example:

name ASC

bForeignHideEmptyEntry

Boolean. If true, empty entries (we are talking about sForeignColumn) are not shown at all.

bOrderByValue

Boolean. If true, shown entries are sorted by their shown value.

bOrderByRawValue

Boolean. If true, shown entries are sorted by their column value.

If both bOrderByValue and bOrderByRawValue are set, bOrderByValue is taken.

aForeignWhereShow

Array with where additions that is applied to the foreign table when loading values for output. Example:

'aForeignWhereShow' => array(
    'pid:24',
    'hidden:0'
)

aForeignWhereForm

Array with where additions that is applied to the foreign table when loading values for the form. Example is actually the same as aForeignWhereShow except that you might want to add something or leave something out.

The difference between aForeignWhereShow and aForeignWhereForm is that the first is applied when loading values for outputs whereas the latter is applied when loading values for the form dropdown. This might come in handy whenever you want to give the user the possibility to select only entries that are x and y but want to display them even if they are now not y anymore. More practical example: Let users only select entries that are not hidden but since you change those settings from time to time you might still want to display entries where the foreign keys are -- in the meantime -- hiden.

sLocalUid

String. The key column within our original table that should be written to the MM table as the local uid.

Example:

uid

sForeignRelation

String. Table name of the MM relation table.

Example:

tx_news_domain_model_category_feusers_mm

sForeignRelationUidLocal

String. Name of the column/field in the MM relation table that holds sLocalUid (our original table's key). Most probably (following a TYPO3 kind-of standard) this is just uid_local.

Example:

uid_local

sForeignRelationUidForeign

String. Just like sForeignRelationUidLocal but for the foreign key.

Example:

uid_foreign

sForeignRelationOrderBy

String. How to sort the MM table which defines how to sort the entries for the user. You may append an ASC for a-z order or a DESC for z-a order.

Example:

crdate ASC

aForeignRelationWhere

Array holding where additions for the relation (MM) table. Most likely you won't need this but at least you have the possibilty to use it.

Example:

'aForeignRelationWhere' => array(
    'deleted:0',
    'hidden:0'
)

sWrapSingle

String. Wrapper for every single entry. Don't forget to include a pipe symbol (|). Example:

<li>|</li>

sConcatenate

String. Now think of the uploaded files being outputted in a normal or detail view. How would you like to chain multiple images together? Default is a simple comma but you might change that here.

Example:

,

sConcatenateRaw

String. See sConcatenate. This is pretty much the same except that this chaining string is used whenever we need a raw output (at the moment, only CSV files are built upon raw outputs).
