Description

A happy little feature was introduced in 4.7 already, but never documented:

Some TCA fields (input / text?) can have a placeholder config option to hold a 'placeholder' value until user input was supplied.

See issue #33235 for the feature introduction and #52630 for a bugfix in this area.

[FEATURE] Placeholder attribute

Since TYPO3 CMS 4.7, a placeholder attribute is available
for fields of type input and text. This has been missing
from the documentation.

Furthermore, since 6.2 the placeholder configuration
can be a recursive pointer into related records.

Resolves: #52730
Releases: 6.2

History

#1 Updated by Ernesto Baschny almost 2 years ago

#52630 is not only a "bugfix", but allows to follow recursively a list of properties, i.e. used in sys_file_reference:

'placeholder' => '__row|uid_local|metadata|title',
  • _row.uid_local refers to sys_file
  • sys_file.metadata refers to sys_file_metadata
  • sys_file_metadata.title <= this is the one to be shown

Note: I'm not going to backport this to older versions of the TCA Reference as I think it's not worth the effort. We already have so much to do, I would rather concentrate on delivering squeaky clean documentation for 6.2 rather than providing fixes for older versions, except for critical issues.
