[TYPO3-dev] Hook proposal for alt_doc.php

[David Bruehlmeier]

Hi Bernhard,

I tried that as well, it results in the following error message:

"1: Attempt to insert record on page '[root-level]' (0) where this 
table, tx_myext, is not allowed"

And if I'm not mistaken, this is because the PID cannot be determined 
from the $incomingFieldArray.

All in all, IMO the _only_ option to keep TCE-Main from saving records 
once it's started is by using the processDatamap_postProcessFieldArray 
hook by unsetting $fieldArray. And doing so - according to Kasper's 
comment in the source - can be dangerous for mm-relations and files.

Since I currently don't need files nor mm-relations, I am using that 
hook. But I would feel more comfortable either:

a) using the proposed hook in alt_doc.php which would enable me to avoid 
TCE-main completely
b) get another option in TCE-main (maybe a hook earlier on?) to exit 
"clean" without risking to produce "dead" records or files.


Greetings,
Dave.
