[TYPO3-dev] Antw: Backend custom forms for a Plugin

[Uwe Trotzek]

Hi Rakesh, 

if I understand you correclty, I would recommend to use IRRE (inline relational record editing) for this. 

You could take a look at this demo-extension which demonstrates the behaviour of IRRE: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/irre_tutorial

With IRRE you can easily edit multiple relations within one form.

King regards

Hi,

I'm fairly new to TYPO3 and building extensions. The frontend plugin I
created with extension builder is called "Events". There are 3 other tables
which are also a part of the plugin- Category , Location and Media, apart
from Event.

The problem is that while creating a new record for the plugin ( that is
creating a new Event), I should also add other records for Category,
Location and Media in three different forms. Which is very inconvenient. I
would want One single form which adds the event details, adds the media,
category and location and store it in their respective database tables.
Also, note that all these tables are related. Like for instance, the ID in
the media tables is a Foreign Key from the Event's tables, so every time
the form gets submitted, it should also automatically update the media
table ID.

To put it simple, I need a form with fields coming in from different but
related tables in the TYPO3 database. Is this possible in TYPO3 backend ,
if so, how do I create that ?

Thank You
