[TYPO3-dev] [ Extase ] Save same content many times on property

[Petit Bison]

Hi everyone,

Here is my question / issue:

Functional : I would like to be able to select, in a list of different drawers, the drawers and their related quantities to add to a closet. In the end I'll get a quote with my custom closet filled by the different drawers I would have selected.

Technical : I have a (Fluid rendered) form in which the object is the closet. Inputs are mapped on properties of the closet using the "property" Fluid's possibility. So on of my form's input is "<f:form.select multiple='true' property='drawers' options='{drawers}' />.

The Closet's model contains a drawers property which is an m:n relation using a relation table in which references will be stored.

Everything works fine when I add ONE of each drawer and then submit the form, but what if I would like to save the same content many times ?
No matter what I try (using for example a JS onclick function to add an option entry to the select input : if the same content is added multiple times, only one is stored in DB).

So, as it's possible to add same contents many times in BE, when you set a select as multiple in TCA, I thought I could reproduce easily the same behavior, but in the end I didn't find a proper ay to do so.

So, before developing something ugly or non-standard, does anyone has an idea / advice on a the most proper and standard way of doing so ?

Thanks a lot,

Regards,
