Typo3 FAL missing alternative text field in Extension


i am using FAL in my Extension and cant get the alternative field showing. Please look at these 2 images to have a better view:

Extension edit view, no alternative text field.

Same image in Page Resources view with alternative text field.

Image 1: This is the view in my extension

Image 2: This view is in Typo3 Page Ressource Tab

As you can see the image is working fine, so its not this problem: TYPO3 fal upload image with alt-text.

Here is my TCA code:

        'images' => array(
        'exclude' => 1,
        'label' => 'LLL:EXT:fy_reference/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_fyreference_domain_model_reference.images',
        'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig('image', array(
          'appearance' => array(
            'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xlf:images.addFileReference'
          ),
          'minitems' => 0,
          'maxitems' => 9999,
        ), $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']),
        'files' => array(
          'exclude' => 1,
          'label' => 'Files',
          'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig('files', array(
      'appearance' => array(
        'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xlf:images.addFileReference'
      ),
          ), $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']),
        ),
    ),  

Any advise will be thankful.


Solution

  • Found the solution thanks to: TYPO3 FAL: enable Alt text and Link for custom domain field and https://forge.typo3.org/issues/56884

    It seems that I have overread the answere.

    Here is the complete TCA:

    'images' => array(
            'exclude' => 1,
            'label' => 'LLL:EXT:fy_reference/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_fyreference_domain_model_reference.images',
            'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig('image', array(
                'foreign_selector_fieldTcaOverride' => array(
                  'config' => array(
                    'appearance' => array(
                      'elementBrowserType' => 'file',
                      'elementBrowserAllowed' => 'gif,jpg,jpeg,tif,tiff,bmp,png'
                    )
                  )
                ),                              
              'appearance' => array(
                'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xlf:images.addFileReference',
              ),
              'minitems' => 0,
              'maxitems' => 9999,
              'foreign_types' => array(
          '0' => array(
            'showitem' => '
                --palette--;LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette;imageoverlayPalette,
                --palette--;;filePalette'
          ),
          \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File::FILETYPE_IMAGE => array(
            'showitem' => '
              --palette--;LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette;imageoverlayPalette,
              --palette--;;filePalette'
          ),
        )
            ), $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']),
            'files' => array(
              'exclude' => 1,
              'label' => 'Files',
              'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig('files', array(
          'appearance' => array(
            'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xlf:images.addFileReference'
          ),
              ), $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']),
            ),
        ),  
    

    Important is to add these line:

    'foreign_types' => array(
          '0' => array(
            'showitem' => '
                --palette--;LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette;imageoverlayPalette,
                --palette--;;filePalette'
          ),
          \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File::FILETYPE_IMAGE => array(
            'showitem' => '
              --palette--;LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette;imageoverlayPalette,
              --palette--;;filePalette'
          ),
        )
    

    If you also want to limit the upload files type, you could use this:

    'foreign_selector_fieldTcaOverride' => array(
        'config' => array(
            'appearance' => array(
                'elementBrowserType' => 'file',
                'elementBrowserAllowed' => 'gif,jpg,jpeg,tif,tiff,bmp,png'
            )
        )
    ),
    

    You will get this: FAL upoload limit file types
