[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC: Bugfix: 5527: Go to editing of DAM record from the content element (image)

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey all,

again to this problem. I finally tracked it down.

The problem:
No clickmenu is shown when in TCEforms and clicking on the icon of a DAM 
indexed file. Why? First of all, once the DAM clickmenu finds out that 
this is an indexed file it clears all existing menuItems. Not good (see 
the problems with templavoila) but there is no simple solution at hand 
yet. Yes, so the DAM replaces the menuItems, and they should be 
displayed, BUT there is a displaying constraint in TCEforms to say that 
only items XYZ are allowed to be displayed. Well, this information is 
completely invalid, as the clickmenu is completely cleared anyway. The 
check on the allowance is done after the DAM built its own menuItems, 
that's why it's emptying out these.

The solution:
We need to "empty" / clear these displaying constraints (which are 
stored in the iParts[3] variable.

The real solution (for those who are interested):
The real solution would be to change the visibility constraints in the 
TCEForms (or whereever the clickmenu is used) to add the DAM options 
there. Through that we wouldn't even need to clear all existing 
menuItems. Unfortunately, as Peter stated, this is not possible in the 
Core right now.

Anyway, with the attached patch we can solve the problem for now, it's 
not perfect but not too bad either IMHO. Please test and enjoy, it's 
quite simple to reproduce.
