[TYPO3-mvc] Fill TCA field default with be_user realName

[Henk Scholten]

Found the solution:

ext_localconf.php

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['Objects']['TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Authentication\\BackendUserAuthentication'] 
= array(
	'className' => 'Vendor\\Bla\\Xclass\\BackendUserAuthentication',
);

Classes/Xclass/BackendUserAuthentication.php

<?php
namespace Vendor\Bla\Xclass;

class BackendUserAuthentication extends 
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\BackendUserAuthentication {

	/**
	 * Sets some defaults for tx_bla_domain_model_download (full name)
	 * based on the current user
	 *
	 * @return	void
	 */
	function fetchGroupData()	{
		if ($this->user['uid'])	{
			$this->TSdataArray[] = '
				// Setting defaults for tx_bla_domain_model_download author
				TCAdefaults.tx_bla_domain_model_download.author = 
'.$this->user['realName'].'
			';
		}

		parent::fetchGroupData();
	}
}

?>
