[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC: #8466: Info module does not show any information (blank main frame)

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey guys,

in case nobody knows how to "get something visible" in the info module, 
here are some steps to "reproduce".

The Info Module shows a list of selected DAM records if they have any 
references, means: if they are used in the system somehow, there is a 
list of places where it is used.

Well, to get references, you need to install something like 
"dam_ttcontent". Install it (notice that you also need to configure the 
extension in the EM, poor 4.2) and then use it by adding a Image / Text 
tt_content element. Reference a DAM file there, then go back to the Info 
module and select the folder where the file is located, you should see 
something there (of course only with the patch ;-))

We really should put a help text in that module so people know what it 
does! (Anyone willing to open up a bugreport for that?)
