Hi at all,

I'm planning to program a backend module.
In the module it should be possible to define Flexform XML form-fields
to extend the backend module's existing form fields.
i.E.

<T3DataStructure>
<meta>
<langDisable>1</langDisable>
<!-- <langChildren>1</langChildren>!-->
</meta>
<sheets>
<pluginCONFIG>
<ROOT>
<TCEforms>

<sheetTitle>LLL:EXT:myext1/pi1/locallang.xmlluginCONFIG</sheetTitle>
</TCEforms>
<type>array</type>
<el>
<category>
<TCEforms>

<label>LLL:EXT:myext1/pi1/locallang.xml:categoryid</label>
<config>
<type>input</type>
<size>30</size>
</config>
</TCEforms>
</category>
</el>
</ROOT>
</pluginCONFIG>
</sheets>
</T3DataStructure>



The Backend Module should then parse the Flexform XML and output the
(additional) forms.
I guess there is already a method in typo3 that does transform a
flexform xml file into HTML source.

Does anyone know it's name? Or know how to do it?

This would help me a lot.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

See you
Marco Weber

There is no one single method for it. You have to use t3lib_TCEforms but this is not trivial task.

Good to know...
But somewhere there must already be the code, rite?
( Frontend plugins, that include flexform xml fields. )

Does anyone know where to find that code block in the typo3 source?

My idea would then be to copy & modify & paste it...

The only read fields, they do not create forms from flexforms in the frontend. If you mean forms for plugins in backend, such forms are created by t3lib_TCEforms class.

Class name is above. You should be able to find it. If not, there is no chance you can handle TCEforms.

I had same ideas when I first started with TYPO3 From my experience: be ready to copy/paste and modify half of TYPO3 then
