[TYPO3-dev] Unable to access FlexForm settings in controller on AJAX request

[Rakesh Dodda]

Hi all,

I'm fairly new in building extension in TYPO3, please be patient and help
me solve my issue. Any help on this will be really great :)
I'm having trouble in accessing my FlexForm settings while making a normal
AJAX call (without eID). I'm able to access the FlexForm settings otherwise
using *$this->settings *without any AJAX.
*
*
The following are the things I followed:

Added the FlexForm. It looks like this:


<T3DataStructure>
>     <meta>
>         <langDisable>1</langDisable>
>     </meta>
>     <sheets>
>         <sDEF>
>             <ROOT>
>                 <TCEforms>
>                     <sheetTitle>View Settings</sheetTitle>
>                 </TCEforms>
>                 <type>array</type>
>                 <el>
>                     <switchableControllerActions>
>                         <TCEforms>
>                             <label>Select type</label>
>                             <config>
>                                 <type>select</type>
>                                 <items>
>                                     <numIndex index="0">
>                                         <numIndex index="0">Ext
> View</numIndex>
>                                         <numIndex
> index="1">MyExt->list</numIndex>
>                                     </numIndex>
>                                 </items>
>                             </config>
>                         </TCEforms>
>                     </switchableControllerActions>
>                     <settings.flexform.limit>
>                         <TCEforms>
>                             <label>Number of items</label>
>                             <config>
>                                 <type>input</type>
>                                 <size>10</size>
>                                 <eval>num</eval>
>                             </config>
>                         </TCEforms>
>                     </settings.flexform.limit>
>                 </el>
>             </ROOT>
>         </sDEF>
>     </sheets>
> </T3DataStructure>



My AJAX TS in the file ext_typoscript_setup.txt is as follows:



plugin.tx_myext {
> ajax = PAGE
>     ajax {
>         config {
>             disableAllHeaderCode = 1
>             disablePrefixComment = 1
>             xhtml_cleaning = 0
>             admPanel = 0
>             no_cache = 1
>             additionalHeaders = Content-type:application/json
>             metaCharset = utf-8
>         }
>     }
> }
> tx_myext_ajax_page < plugin.tx_myext.ajax
> tx_myext_ajax_page {
>     typeNum = 99
>     10 < tt_content.list.20.myext_myext
> }





The following TS code is written in the Template of my Backend Page:

plugin.tx_myext {
>     settings{
>         resourcePath=fileadmin/project/templates
>         ImagePath=fileadmin/project/images/
>     }
> }



The actions in my controller are:

*This prints everything:*

public function listAction(){
>   print_r($this->settings);
> }



*The Ajax Update action , this prints only the settings given in my
Template of the backend page*
*
*

>     public function updateAction(){
>      print_r($this->settings);
>   }




I tried removing the TS code from the template backend page, it still gives
the same issue.
I tried adding the following TS to my* ext_typoscript_setup.txt *but still
gives me the issue:

>   tx_myext_ajax_page {
>     typeNum = 99
>    10 {
>      settings =< tx_myext.settings
>    }
> }



Kindly help me in solving this. As mentioned earlier, any help would be
really great.
