[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC #10654: DAM browser does not view the new added media when using a workspace

[Martin Kästner]

Hi Chris,

> can you give the steps to reproduce the problem?

Yes.

Additional to DAM and a custom workspace you need the Ext dam_ttcontent 
or dam_ttnews. (problem exists for all fields with connects dam files 
with other elements).

In Typo3 with DAM and custom workspaces you do:

- change in Typo3 in the custom workspace or change to a user which is 
restricted to a custom workspace
- upload an image with dam

- create a new content element on a page

- here comes the bug:
   try to add new uploaded image in the new content element in the dam 
fields from dam_ttcontent
   (or try it with a new tt_news element and extension dam_ttnews)

Patch should allow to see the new uploaded images in dam, without the 
need to first publish them.


Please note, as the patch needs also changing the TCA 
(shadowColumnsForNewPlaceholders), you must upload (or maybe index 
again?) the dam files after using the patch. This is because the 
information is stored by typo3 in the placeholder, when the dam file is 
created or updated. Without this the bugfix can not show the dam files 
as explained in the bug.

You can look into the db "tx_dam" to make sure, that the placeholder 
(has "pid" of media folder and 't3ver_label'='INITIAL PLACEHOLDER') has 
the needed information in it.


So I hope it is now a bit easier to reproduce.

bye Martin
