[TYPO3-dev] TCA, wsitch the look of a field but using the same field name

[Ries van Twisk]

Hi Jochen,

I don't use flexform but willing to change... however the kickstarter 
made this nice code for me already :)
I tried using displayCond, however seens the look change and the 
fieldname stays the same.
The total configuration is getting overwritten by the last one.

Currently I solved it like this:
if (isset($_REQUEST['edit']['tx_rvtintellipops_items'])) {
    $UID = key($_GET['edit']['tx_rvtintellipops_items']);
   
    if ($_REQUEST['data']['tx_rvtintellipops_items']) {
        $popuptype = 
$_REQUEST['data']['tx_rvtintellipops_items'][$UID]['popuptype'];
    } else {
        $res = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB'] -> exec_SELECTquery('popuptype', 
'tx_rvtintellipops_items', 'uid='.$UID);
        $row = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB'] -> sql_fetch_assoc($res);
        $popuptype = $row['popuptype'];
    }
    switch ($popuptype) {
        case 0:
        case 1:
        case 3:
            
$TCA["tx_rvtintellipops_items"]['columns']['content']['config'] = 
$configRTE ;
        break;
        case 2:
            
$TCA["tx_rvtintellipops_items"]['columns']['content']['config'] = 
$configColorPicker;
        break;
    }
}


I know it's a ugly duck.. but it was the best I could come up with under 
a short notice.
Also I couldn't find any other example or method, looked in the 
documentation a lot also.
It not a problem to show or hide fields based on conditions.
But it is a problem using the same field with different forms. I 
possible have missed something...

I don't want to bloat my record with many many fields I hardly use and 
like to re-use the field content
under different conditions.

I will look into dynaflex and see if that can work with the TCA, if yes 
how and in such a way
that I don't spend many hours converting my $TCA to dynaflex...
