04:48:45 <trendzetter> I created a fluid content element in my provider extension: a form. How do I access the form values from my controller? Which method will my form submit call?
04:50:02 <trendzetter> Has anyone written about that? It seems to be missing in the docs
06:10:49 <trendzetter> just some feedback on my own question about capturing the postback from a form in fluid: http://extbaseblog.michelleretzlaff.com/category/extbase-frontend-forms/
07:58:38 <drlimbo> in the "page language-view" i have an addiotional content-row i never mapped somewhere -> Fluid Content Area -- is this a know bug? https://www.evernote.com/shard/s8/sh/89961fda-7a10-45ac-a4b5-783166ae3f67/92aee2d806d4882edfd5a971394d113f/deep/0/t3lang.jpg
08:05:00 <drlimbo> looks like its this bug https://github.com/FluidTYPO3/fluidpages/issues/212
08:13:10 <trendzetter> I have a fluid form which produces a link like this: index.php?id=3&tx_sbat_content[action]=create&tx_sbat_content[controller]=Post
08:14:47 <trendzetter> I am expecting a call of createAction in controller PostController but it appears that it is not called
08:15:39 <trendzetter> Is there a page which explains fluid postback handling?
08:35:56 <trendzetter> no one ? https://fluidtypo3.org/documentation/templating-manual/advanced-provider-extensions/custom-flux-controllers/controller-actions.html
08:36:06 <trendzetter> I don't seem to understand some of the docs
08:37:09 <trendzetter> it says I need a function myElementAction.. But in which file should it be placed?
08:38:16 <NamelessCoder> trendzetter sounds like you are making a custom plugin, so the flux controller bits are not that relevant to you
08:39:05 <NamelessCoder> the form URL you posted seems to call a Post controller which means you require an actual plugin
08:40:24 <NamelessCoder> if you already have that, the most common pitfalls causing your troubles are: 1) incorrect context; missing either pluginName, extensionName or other parameter on f:form, 2) plugin definition in ext_localconf.php does not allow the controller Post for that plugin.
08:41:47 <trendzetter> i don't have a post controller
08:42:14 <trendzetter> i am just picking some clues from different related manuals such as extbase
08:43:13 <trendzetter> i want to start from a basic form i added to the sample fluidcontent element
08:44:33 <trendzetter> and then send an email with the data from the form; preferable from within contentcontroller
08:46:31 <trendzetter> What are the minimum requirements to receive data from a form?
08:54:34 <NamelessCoder> in this case it sounds like you *may* be able to get by if you create a secondary action on a custom ContentController and making your form post to that action, but whenever you need to receive data, a full Extbase plugin is usually the better idea.
09:09:30 <NamelessCoder> my advise is to have a full extbase plugin for this. Using Flux's controllers works for simple stuff but it has limitations when it comes to form handling (because it emulates a plugin rendered through a plugin).
09:11:15 <NamelessCoder> I would keep the content read-only and the interactive stuff in controllers - gives you much better control over how the plugin acts when receiving input. And if you need input validation with feedback in the form there's really no way around a full plugin.
09:21:56 <jmverges> NamelessCoder, did you saw what I wrote about fluidpages?
09:22:21 <jmverges> Here we are 3 developers and we cannot select a Page Layout
10:37:06 <Guest|22275> Hi everybody. I have a problem and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I created a FCE and want to display it inside a new Tab in the 'New Content Element Wizard'. After clearing the caches through the toolbar on top my FCE is within the Tab 'Plugins' with neither a name nor an icon. When I now clear all caches through the Install Tool it is dis
10:37:06 <Guest|22275> played correctly. But when I clear the cache again through the toolbar on top it's broken again. Any ideas where I made a mistake? :)
