[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC #9646: DAM does not honour config['selectedListStyle'] and config['itemListStyle']

[Uschi Renziehausen]

Hi Dan,

put these lines into your_doc_root/ext_tables.php

t3lib_div::loadTCA('tx_dam');
$TCA['tx_dam']['columns']['category']['config']['itemListStyle'] = 
'width:280px;height:400px;';
$TCA['tx_dam']['columns']['category']['config']['selectedListStyle'] = 
'width:260px';

t3lib_div::loadTCA('tx_dam_cat');
$TCA['tx_dam_cat']['columns']['parent_id']['config']['itemListStyle'] = 
'width:280px;height:400px;';
$TCA['tx_dam_cat']['columns']['parent_id']['config']['selectedListStyle'] 
= 'width:260px';
