[TYPO3-english] TYPO3 6.0: Using FAL image in a flexform as an element

[Udo Leimberger]

Hello @all,
I tried to add a FAL image as an element in a flexform.

Here is my flexformcode:
----
                    <settings.newimage>
                        <TCEforms>
                            <config>
                                <type>inline</type>
                                <foreign_table>sys_file_reference</foreign_table>
                                <foreign_field>uid_foreign</foreign_field>
                                <foreign_sortby>sorting_foreign</foreign_sortby>
                                <foreign_table_field>tablenames</foreign_table_field>
                                <foreign_match_fields type="array">
                                    <fieldname>image</fieldname>
                                </foreign_match_fields>
                                <foreign_label>uid_local</foreign_label>
                                <foreign_selector>uid_local</foreign_selector>
                                <maxItems>2</maxItems>
                                <foreign_selector_fieldTcaOverride type="array">
                                    <config>
                                        <appearance>
                                            <elementBrowserType>file</elementBrowserType>
                                            <elementBrowserAllowed>jpg,png</elementBrowserAllowed>
                                        </appearance>
                                    </config>
                                </foreign_selector_fieldTcaOverride>
                                <appearance type="array">
                                    <createNewRelationLinkTitle>Add new Image</createNewRelationLinkTitle>

                                    <enabledControls type="array">
                                        <info>FALSE</info>
                                        <new>TRUE</new>

                                        <hide>TRUE</hide>
                                        <delete>TRUE</delete>
                                        <localize>TRUE</localize>
                                    </enabledControls>
                                    <levelLinksPosition>both</levelLinksPosition>
                                </appearance>
                                <behaviour>
                                    <localizationMode>select</localizationMode>
                                    <localizeChildrenAtParentLocalization>TRUE</localizeChildrenAtParentLocalization>
                                </behaviour>
                            </config>
                        </TCEforms>
                    </settings.newimage>

This works but I have some questions. Perhaps there are some bugs also.

1) How can you change a palette view for this element. If I render a flexform with the config above .. i can add images with title and descriptions, but i miss alternate text and link like in an  regular FAL image CE.

2) if I change parameters in the enabledControls section i.e. detele => TRUE to delete => FALSE the paperbasket for deleting items is already in the rendered form. Same to hide or new.

3) Maxitems - parameter seems to have no influence.

Does anybody have the same problems with FAL images (media) in a flexform ?
