[TYPO3-mvc] Tx_Extbase_MVC_Exception_InfiniteLoop

[Mark Kuiphuis]

Hi Claus,

Thanks again for your help :-)

I actually would like to go back to Extbase 1.3, so will definitely give that a 
try....(not because of Extbase, but because of the PHP requirements of TYPO3 4.6)

I also checked your proposal with changing the checkbox. Unfortunately, after ticking 
the box and submitting the form (where validation fails because of an incorrect email 
address I put in another field) the form is being shown again. The input fields which 
have already been filled in are prefilled again, but the checkboxes have their state 
set to unticked :(

I changed my form field from:

<f:form.checkbox property="newsletter" value="1" checked="{order.newsletter} == 1" />

into

<f:form.checkbox property="newsletter" value="1" checked="{f:if(condition: 
order.newsletter, then: 'checked')}" />

I use the extension ExtDebug to dump some info about models and in my newAction I added:

Tx_ExtDebug::var_dump($order);

In the frontend I then see

Extbase Variable Dumo

NULL

Even after submitting at least some values, the value remains NULL....

(Maybe because the model contained data which would invalidate the model, therefore a 
new model has not been created yet and as such remains NULL...So where do these input 
fields and select fields get their value from, as most likely I will also be able to 
retrieve the information for the checkboxes and radio buttons from that spot :-) (or 
does my mind not want to work anymore and did I loose all hope of ever finding a 
solution?)

Cheers, Mark

I just remember having to set this to 0 on an earlier project exactly because of the 101 redirects and @dontvalidate issue. Extbase kept on validating regardless of @dontvalidate when the value was 1. But that was an Extbase 1.3 install...
