ext_tables.php and foreign_table - please explain

Rate this Message:
Hi,
I've been having a look at the use of foreign_table in my ext_tables.php files, but without any real luck. I'm not able to get any output from my table, and i feel like I'm missing somewhere to define what field to take values from, in my table. Can some one please explain me the lack of configuration, or maybe a link to a page desribing/documentating the foreign_table possibility? I've already been through this page http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/core-documentation/doc_core_api/4.1.0/view/4/2/#id4104498 Without any real luck or better understanding for why it isn't working "user_extendfeuser_testfield" => Array ( "exclude" => 0, "label" => "test field", #hardcoded label, just for testing purpose "config" => Array ( "type" => "select", "foreign_table" => "tx_fdforginfo_fields", #name of my extension table "size" => "5", "minitems" => 0, "maxitems" => 1, ) ), Thanks and regards, Søren _______________________________________________ TYPO3-english mailing list TYPO3-english@... http://lists.netfielders.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-english |

I'd like to bring this question up again, does nobody know how to use
foreign_table or are they just on vacations? :-) Regards, Søren On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 10:29 AM, Søren Malling <soren.malling@...>wrote: > Hi, > > I've been having a look at the use of foreign_table in my ext_tables.php > files, but without any real luck.

Hi Søren,
I think the easiest way to figure out how to use foreign tables is to create an extension in the kickstarter (in the Extension Manager). There you can create a new table and a field with the type Database relation. This should be quite self-explaining. Now you can view the result and inspect the source code. Good luck.

Hi Alex,
As shown in my mail, I've already created a extension and tried using the foreign_table, but i need to know how to "choose" the fields to be shown, from my table. If i write "fe_users" as my foreign_table, it automaticly write the usernames ini my selector, but how do I define the fields I would like to see?

TYPO3 always shows "label" field there. For fe_users it is "username" field. You can define your own function to return alternative label but it will be used everywhere in the Backend.
