[TYPO3-mvc] Re: desperation with f:form.checkbox

[Philipp]

Okay i found the problem.... and yes - in my opinnion - it is a bug:
If a form object is a array, the ViewHelper tries to get the property this way
$formObject[$propertyName]
and not using return \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Reflection\ObjectAccess::getPropertyPath($formObject, $propertyName);

So, whats the solution?
Can i use an Object of Type \StdClass Here, would the ObjectAccess Utility then understand the path? I dont really think so, because there is no Reflection of StdClass. So do i have to create a model for this? Thats not what i want to do because this is a basic routine, that should be extended by other controllers, i cant handle one model and therefore wanted to use a simple array.

There has to be made an addition in the ViewHelper
AbstractFormFieldViewHelper
On line 183 a string containing "." should be exploded

something like this does the job:


	/**
	 * Get the current property of the object bound to this form.
	 *
	 * @return mixed Value
	 */
	protected function getPropertyValue() {
		$formObject = $this->viewHelperVariableContainer->get('TYPO3\\CMS\\Fluid\\ViewHelpers\\FormViewHelper', 'formObject');
		$propertyName = $this->arguments['property'];
		if (is_array($formObject)) {
			if (strpos($propertyName,'.')!==FALSE) {
				$parts = explode('.',$propertyName);
				$return = $formObject;
				while (sizeof($parts)>0) {
					$return = $return[array_shift($parts)];
					if ($return===NULL) return NULL;
				}
				return $return;
			}
			return isset($formObject: NULL;
		}
		return \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Reflection\ObjectAccess::getPropertyPath($formObject, $propertyName);
	}
