TYPO3 Extension `live_search_extended`
======================================

[](#typo3-extension-live_search_extended)

[![TYPO3 12](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/08afacc49187e63c796f7d1c4401d0f0563bab574d9c525312b2827acb09a7c5/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f5459504f332d31322d6f72616e67652e737667)](https://get.typo3.org/version/12)

This extension improves the output of TYPO3's backend search of the top right corner which is called **Live Search** by:

- Appending the UID of the record to the title
- Provide more information about the record in the result
- Search for EXT:form records

Supported TYPO3 versions:

- 12.4 LTS

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require studiomitte/live-search-extended
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Check out the examples in `Configuration/TCA/Overrides/examples.php` which are enabled by default but can be disabled in the Extension settings.

There are 2 ways to configure the extension. Every configuration must be placed in `Configuration/TCA/Overrides/addField(
        (new \StudioMitte\LiveSearchExtended\Configuration\Field('datetime', 'actions-clock'))
            ->setSkipIfEmpty(true)
            ->setPrefixLabel(false)
    )
    ->addField(
        (new \StudioMitte\LiveSearchExtended\Configuration\Field('teaser', 'actions-document'))
            ->setSkipIfEmpty(true)
            ->setPrefixLabel(false)
    )
    ->persist();
```

### Directly in TCA

[](#directly-in-tca)

```
$GLOBALS['TCA']['sys_category']['ctrl']['live_search_extended'] = [
    'fields' => [
        'parent' => [
            'icon' => 'mimetypes-x-sys_category',
        ],
    ],
];
```

### Extending

[](#extending)

You can provide computed fields in the result row by using the event `\StudioMitte\LiveSearchExtended\Event\ModifyRowEvent`. One example is in `\StudioMitte\LiveSearchExtended\EventListener\RowModification\SysTemplateRowModificationEventListener`which provides the line count of TypoScript to the result row which is then later used in the configuration

```
$GLOBALS['TCA']['sys_template']['ctrl']['live_search_extended'] = [
    'fields' => [
        // _count_constants is a computed field
        '_count_constants' => [
            'icon' => 'form-number',
            // As the label can't be taken from TCA as the field is not there provided, a custom label can be set
            'label' => 'Count Constants',
            'skipIfEmpty' => false,
        ],
    ],
];
```
