[TYPO3-dev] BE modules: restting the form

Hello,

I am looking for a standard conform way to reset form values. Currently I do
something like this:

function menuConfig(){
    $this->MOD_MENU['sword'] = '';
    $this->MOD_MENU = .....

    if($this->CMD['reset']){
      foreach(array('sword') as $key)
                   $GLOBALS['_POST']['SET'][$key] = '';
      foreach(array('selections1', 'seletions2', 'selections3') as $key)
                   $GLOBALS['_POST']['SET'][$key] = 'all';
    }
    $this->modMenu_type = 'ses';
    $this->modMenu_dontValidateList = 'pointer';
    parent::menuConfig();
     ....
}


This happens in the parent::menuConfig() in t3lib_scbase:

function menuConfig()   {
  [ ... ]
  // CLEANSE 'function' SETTINGS
  $this->MOD_SETTINGS = t3lib_BEfunc::getModuleData(
             $this->MOD_MENU,
             t3lib_div::_GP('SET'),
             $this->MCONF['name'],
             $this->modMenu_type,
             $this->modMenu_dontValidateList,
             $this->modMenu_setDefaultList
  );
}

So I put the "resetted" values already into the POST variables before all this
evaluation happen, as if all this data were send from the form itself. I even
get it set into the session this way.

I don't think this is the standard way to reset the form. I fear it is against
PCG to write to $GLOBALS['_POST'] directly. But I have not found any TYPO3
function to do this.

Regards

Elmar
