TYPO3 CMS7 TCA - RTE and ValuePicker

Question

I've tried to make my own distribution but still stuck at TCA script... I tried to make an own Content Element, that also worked. But if I want to display an Textarea as RichTextEditor or an Input Field as an ValuePicker, it won't work.

So this is my code in tt_content.php

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['columns']['testText'] = array(
    'exclude' => 1,
    'label' => 'LLL:EXT:PRIVATE/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_tabs.xlf:tesText',
    'config' => array(
        'type' => 'text',
        'cols' => 40,
        'rows' => 6,
        'wizards' => array(
            '_PADDING' => 2,
            'RTE' => array(
                'notNewRecords' => 1,
                'RTEonly' => 1,
                'type' => 'script',
                'title' => 'Full Test',
                'module' => array(
                    'name' => 'wizard_rte'
                ),
                'icon' => 'wizard_rte2.gif'
            )
        ),
        'enableRichtext' => true,
        'defaultExtras' => 'richtext[]'
    )
);

At the Backend I can see only the normal Textarea and no RTE or even a ValuePicker. Even though I change the palette type to Bodytext as following, there is an Textarea.

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['types']['PRIVATE_termin'] = array(
   'showitem' => '
         --palette--;LLL:EXT:frontend/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_ttc.xml:palette.general;general,
         --palette--;LLL:EXT:PRIVATE/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_tabs.xlf:general, header, bodytext, termin, termin2, platz, farbe
');

I defined the ValuePicker as following:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['columns']['farbe'] = array(
   'label' => 'LLL:EXT:PRIVATE/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_tabs.xlf:farbe',
   'config' => array(
        'type' => 'input',
        'size' => 20,
        'valuePicker' => array(
            'items' => array(
                ['#496D0C', '<font color="#496D0C">Neutral</font>'],
                ['#91AD33', '<font color="#91AD33">Gr&uuml;n</font>'],
                ['#F59B00', '<font color="#F59B00">Gelb</font>'],
                ['#CD1013', '<font color="#CD1013">Rot</font>']
            ),
        )
   )
);

I also tried to remove the HTML tags, but it still won't work.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you :)

As far as I see, valuePicker is not supported in TYPO3 7.6 but in TYPO3 v8 only.

It was introduced in january 2017; https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/commit/84be5e616b5373ac7ba57edf2d3cd61251dc6f97

In TYPO3 7.6 you need a select wizard - https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/7.6/AdditionalFeatures/WizardsConfiguration/Index.html#select-wizards
