Use case: When saving an object (in backend, maybe in frontend too later) I want to manipulate values before saving to database.
Problem: The file seems to get included (shows an error on save if I choose a wrong file path) but the function does not seem to be executed on save of the object.
There are many how-tos (most of them T4.5 related) and related questions on stackoverflow but none of them seems to work for me.
Environement: TYPO3 6.2, Extbase
Minimalistic test case:
/ext/navolspmanager/ext_localconf.php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php']['processDatamapClass'][] =
'EXT:navolspmanager/Classes/Hooks/GetGeoCodesHook.php:\NachVORNE\Navolspmanager\Hooks\GetGeoCodesHook';
UPADTED for reference: This last line had to be changed to solve the Problem
/ext/navolspmanager/Classes/Hooks/GetGeoCodesHook.php
<?php
namespace NachVORNE\Navolspmanager\Hooks;
class GetGeoCodesHook {
public function processDatamap_preProcessFieldArray( array $fieldArray, $table, $id, \TYPO3\CMS\Core\DataHandling\DataHandler &$pObj ) {
if ($table == 'tx_navolspmanager_domain_model_dataset') {
$fieldArray['geolng'] = 01.001; // for testing purposes
var_dump($fieldArray); die();
}
else{
var_dump($table); die();
}
}
}
Current status: On save it doesn't crash or show anything, just smoothly saves and ignores this function.
Can anyone show me what I am missing here?
Solved:
in my ext_localconf.php there was just a '/' missing inside the namespace ...
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php']['processDatamapClass'][] =
'EXT:navolspmanager/Classes/Hooks/GetGeoCodesHook.php:\NachVORNE\Navolspmanager\Hooks\GetGeoCodesHook';
Improvements:
When updating one field according to other user input we should use the 'processDatamap_postProcessFieldArray' function. That way trim, date and number stuff etc is already done at the moment we grep the input.
