Like with flex forms, this avoids extra database fields for the configured TCA fields, but it allows to place the fields in a more flexible way instead of grouping them together inside that flex form container. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require webcoast/dot-forms ``` No further configuration is necessary to use this extension. Usage ----- [](#usage) Configure your TCA fields as usual, but use the dot notation for the field name, e.g. ``` \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addTCAcolumns('tt_content', [ 'settings.pagination.itemsPerPage' => [ 'label' => 'Items per page', 'config' => [ 'type' => 'number', 'format' => 'integer' 'size' => 5, 'default' => 10, ], ], 'settings.pagination.maxNumberOfLinks' => [ 'label' => 'Max number of links', 'config' => [ 'type' => 'number', 'format' => 'integer' 'size' => 5, 'default' => 7, ], ], ]); ``` **Optional:** Create a palette with your fields: ``` $GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['palettes']['settings.pagination'] = [ 'label' => 'Pagination', 'showitem' => 'settings.pagination.itemsPerPage, settings.pagination.maxNumberOfLinks', ]; ``` Add your palette or fields to the `types` section: ``` \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addToAllTCAtypes('tt_content', '--palette--;;settings.pagination', '{yourCType}', 'after:header'); ``` ### Extbase plugins (settings) [](#extbase-plugins-settings) When using Extbase plugins, you can use the `\WEBcoast\DotForms\Mvc\Controller\ActionController`as base class for your controller, to automatically map the `settings.*` fields to the `$this->settings`property in your controller. The magic is done using the `initializeAction()` method, which is called before the actual action method. If you also use this method in your controller, make sure to call `parent::initializeAction()` at the beginning. ### Data processor [](#data-processor) When working the data processors, e.g. in a `FLUIDTEMPLATE` content object, your can use the included data processor to map all fields with the dot notation to the respective main field in the data array. ``` tt_content.myContentObject { dataProcessing { 10 = dot-forms } } ``` ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance58 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity18 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity47 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
