[TYPO3-core] RFC: Feature Request #6882: Enable stdWrap for select.where

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi,

looks easy, but we also have "andWhere", couldn't you just use that? It
works exactly like "where" with the only difference that it already does
stdWrap. Having both settings seems a bit strange to me, but I guess it
was done to make the typoscript "readable":

 select.where = a=b
 select.andWhere = c=123

So my idea would be: instead of making "where" a stdWrap, we make it an
indexed array where each element is a stdWrapped "andWhere" subpart, we
could make this a bit more flexible:

 select.where.1 = a=b
 select.where.2.data = register:colPos
 select.where.2.wrap = colPos=|
 select.where.2.required = 1
 ...

would generate "AND a=b AND colPos=0" if register:colPos is set, but
"AND a=b" if register:colPos is not set (required=1).

For backwards compatibility of course we keep "where" without an
subarray working as currently.

I cannot imagine any side-effect, maybe Dmitry could try to locate that
past thread about it? I cannot find it. :(

Cheers,
Ernesto
