[TYPO3-dev] Using formhandler; How to replace database uid values from selectboxes with readable text for emails

[Stano Paška]

Hi Thomas.

In some of our project we do it by own interceptor:

# Typoscript
plugin.Tx_Formhandler.settings.additionalIncludePaths.1 =
typo3conf/ext/myext/Classes/Interceptor/
plugin.Tx_Formhandler.settings.predef.Form1 {
	...
	saveInterceptors.1.class = Tx_Formhandler_Interceptor_MyInterceptor
	...
}

# and php code in
myext/Classes/Interceptor/Tx_Formhandler_Interceptor_MyInterceptor.php
class Tx_Formhandler_Interceptor_MyInterceptor extends
Tx_Formhandler_AbstractInterceptor {
	function process() {
		# explode $this->gp['usergroup']
		# for each item convert uid to name and add result to tmp array
		# implode tmp array with comma
		# assign result back to $this->gp['usergroup']
		return $this->gp;
	}
}

Stano.
