[TYPO3-mvc] dummy value for select and property-problem

[Sören Kracker]

This should be possible with a ViewHelper:

Create a file AdvancedSelectViewHelper.php in Classes/ViewHelpers/Form/ 
with this content:

class Tx_Myext_ViewHelpers_Form_AdvancedSelectViewHelper extends 
Tx_Fluid_ViewHelpers_Form_SelectViewHelper {

     /**
      *
      * override initializeArguments
      * @return void
      *
      */
     public function initializeArguments() {
         parent::initializeArguments();
         $this->registerArgument('defaultOption', 'string', 'value to 
prepend', FALSE);
     }

     /**
      *
      * override getOptions
      * @return array an associative array of options, key will be the 
value of the option tag
      *
      */
     protected function getOptions() {
         return array("" => $this->arguments['defaultOption']) + 
parent::getOptions();
     }

}

In the Fluid-Template you define the namespace, e.g.
{namespace mynamespace=Tx_Myext_ViewHelpers}

and for your select field:
<mynamespace:form.advancedSelect
                 value="{selectCategory}"
                 id="categorySelector"
                 name="selectCategory"
                 options="{categories}"
                 optionLabelField="name"
                 defaultOption="choose here" />
