[TYPO3-dev] ext sys_action

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

i tried first time to make an action "SQL-Query", goal was to make an action 
for empty index-tables.
I was astonished that nothing appears in the form.
Then i looked into code, and saw an empty palette with this option, so this 
couldn't ever worked.
Then i looked to the source and this looks like a "very early" script from 
Kasper, where much is hardcoded and not consequent followed.
Also there is only "SELECT" allowed, data of query comes serialized trom a 
tablefield that has no definition in TCA.

The idea of this extension is quite good, and because it's a sysextension 
delivered with TYPO3 it should work.

Does anybody looked at this extension, does anybody maintain, does anybody 
coded for this ?

As these actions are easy to use for editors i would use also something like
- sql-queries in a chain (many possibility for use, simple textarea to paste 
the query into)
- php-script (some written scripts for automatism in any context, simple 
textarea to paste)

What do you think ?
