[TYPO3-core] RFC: Feature #6846: Enable tabs in tt_content records

[Francois Suter]

Hi,

Globally I find this nice, but I have a few niggles:

- the start and stop dates/times are not in the same place than for the 
pages. If we really to unify the look and feel of the backend, then 
those two field should be placed in the Access tab, as for pages. 
Furthermore the section is still entitled "General options (continued)", 
but its no continuation anymore...

- I'm a bit hesitant about the organisation of the tabs. The "General" 
tabs displays the main fields most of the time, but not in the case of 
the "Image" content element. In this case the image-related fields are 
in a separate tab just like for "Text w/image", but I wonder if it 
really makes sense here. Choosing what goes into which tab is not easy. 
Strictly speaking I would say that the "General" tab should just contain 
the Type and the Header palettes, but then that means having to switch 
tab all the time...

- I don't quite understand why it is not possible to have a tab for 
"Plugin options". Isn't it enough to introduce a --div-- at the right 
place in the "types" for "list"? This is actually what exists now:

'showitem' => 'CType;;4;button;1-1-1, header;;3;;2-2-2, --div--, 
list_type;;;;5-5-5, layout, select_key, pages;;12',

except that it's missing a label. But it works. Have I missed a point in 
Benni's remark here?

- regarding Benni's remark about a missing label, that's 
LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_tca.xml:tabs.images

- note that the patch doesn't apply properly to trunk anymore (nothing 
bad, just to lots of "Array" to "array" transformations that get lost).

- and "Bugfix #7138: RTE is not rendered in Tabs" was not complete, 
becasue the RTE still fails to load when the content element is saved 
while the RTE is in a hidden tab.

As it is I would say I'm rather 0 on this :-/

Cheers
