[TYPO3-core] TCA Wizard add variables

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

with the wish of organizing related records in the BE i stumbled on this kind of configuration:

'competition' => array(		
			'exclude' => 0,		
			'label' => 'LLL:EXT:ceb_dates/locallang_db.xml:tx_cebdates_dates.competition',		
			'config' => array(
				'type' => 'select',	
				'foreign_table' => 'tx_ceb_competition',	
				'foreign_table_where' => ' AND tx_ceb_competition.pid = ###PAGE_TSCONFIG_ID### ORDER BY tx_ceb_competition.uid',
				'size' => 1,	
				'minitems' => 0,
				'maxitems' => 1,	
				'wizards' => array(
					'_PADDING'  => 2,
					'_VERTICAL' => 1,
					'add' => array(
						'type'   => 'script',
						'title'  => 'Create new record',
						'icon'   => 'add.gif',
						'params' => array(
							'table'    => 'tx_ceb_competition',
							'pid'      => '###PAGE_TSCONFIG_ID###',
							'setValue' => 'prepend'
						),
						'script' => 'wizard_add.php',
					),
				),
			)
		),

Though the variable ###PAGE_TSCONFIG_ID### is replaced correctly in the where part of selecting recorrds, it doesn't work with adding new records with the wizard.

Looking to the code, i found the reason:

if (substr($this->P['params']['pid'],0,3)=='###' && substr($this->P['params']['pid'],-3)=='###')	{
			$this->pid = intval($TSconfig['_'.substr($this->P['params']['pid'],3,-3)]);

where only available vars here are CURRENT_PID, STORAGE_PID and SITEROOT, though documentation promises more :)

I was able to fix it by inserting this small logic:

// Set [params][pid]
    if (substr($this->P['params']['pid'],0,3)=='###' && substr($this->P['params']['pid'],-3)=='###')	{
      $keyword = substr($this->P['params']['pid'], 3, -3);
      if (substr($keyword, 0, 14) == 'PAGE_TSCONFIG_') {
        $this->pid = intval($TSconfig[$this->P['field']][$keyword]);
      } else {
        $this->pid = intval($TSconfig['_' . $keyword]);
      }
    } else $this->pid = intval($this->P['params']['pid']);

Maybe someone wants to pick it up for integration.

Thanks.
