TcaPreparation

Read onlyYes

Prepare TCA. Used in bootstrap and Flex Form Data Structures, executed *after* TcaMigration.

This is used to add internal TCA details needed by core. For instance, type=category fields receive all the relation details in order to work properly.

Methods

prepare()

Prepare TCA

public prepare(array<string|int, mixed> $tca[, bool $isFlexForm = false ]) : array<string|int, mixed>

This class is typically called within bootstrap with empty caches after all TCA files from extensions have been loaded. The preparation is then applied and the prepared result is cached. For flex form TCA, this class is called dynamically if opening a record in the backend.

See unit tests for details.

Parameters
$tca : array<string|int, mixed>
$isFlexForm : bool = false
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

configureAllowedDisallowedFileExtensions()

configureFileReferences() helper

protected configureAllowedDisallowedFileExtensions(array<string|int, mixed> $config) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$config : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

configureAllowedDisallowedInOverrideChildTca()

configureFileReferences() helper

protected configureAllowedDisallowedInOverrideChildTca(array<string|int, mixed> $overrideChildTcaConfig) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$overrideChildTcaConfig : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

configureCategoryRelations()

Prepares TCA configuration of type='category' fields.

protected configureCategoryRelations(array<string|int, mixed> $tca, bool $isFlexForm) : array<string|int, mixed>

It adds some TCA config settings so category fields end up with similar config as type='select' field, but in a more restricted way. Some settings could also be set in TCA directly, but some fields can not be overridden, e.g. foreign_table.

This also sets necessary MM properties, in case relationship is set to "manyToMany", which is the default. Note it is "oneToMany" with flex forms, since flex forms do NOT support "manyToMany".

Finally, all category fields with a "manyToMany" relationship are added to the MM_oppositeUsage of sys_category "items".

Important: Since this method defines a "foreign_table_where", this must always be executed before prepareQuotingOfTableNamesAndColumnNames().

Parameters
$tca : array<string|int, mixed>
$isFlexForm : bool
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

configureEmailSoftReferences()

Add "'softref' = 'email[subst]'" to all 'type' = 'email' column fields.

array<string|int, mixed>

configureLinkSoftReferences()
