Create API to add custom Index/TimeTable Types

Hey @okmiim
I added a Interface for custom time table generators incl. the addaptions in the right services:
2ab9d0d

It allows extension developers to register custom time table generators.

All "custom generators" are disabled by default and could be enabled in the extension manager configuration of EXT.calendarize. So it is possible to ship a few generators, but also external generators are also possible.

Do you like this idea/API? I would add a few more generators/ideas shortly.

Tim

Hi @lochmueller,

your implementation is not compatible with TYPO3v12 anymore.
When you try to instantiate the SecondaryTimeTableService in TCA, you get following error:
#1638976434 LogicException
TYPO3\CMS\Core\Cache\CacheManager can not be injected/instantiated during ext_localconf.php or TCA loading. Use lazy loading instead.

Alternative idea:
a) "Manually" create TCA configuration and add the items to flexform, type and types. The service is then (mostly) obsolete.

What I tried to implement: (Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tx_calendarize_domain_model_configuration.php)

$flexForms = [];

 /** @var SecondaryTimeTableService $secondaryTimeTableService */
$secondaryTimeTableService = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(SecondaryTimeTableService::class);
$services = $secondaryTimeTableService->getSecondaryTimeTables();

if (!empty($services)) {
    ExtensionManagementUtility::addTcaSelectItemGroup(
        'tx_calendarize_domain_model_configuration',
        'type',
        'secondary',
        'Secondary'
    );
    foreach ($services as $service) {
        $timeTable = [
            'label' => $service->getLabel(),
            'value' => $service->getIdentifier(),
            'group' => 'secondary',
        ];
        $flexForms[$service->getIdentifier()] = $service->getFlexForm();
        ExtensionManagementUtility::addTcaSelectItem(
            'tx_calendarize_domain_model_configuration',
            'type',
            $timeTable
        );
        $GLOBALS['TCA']['tx_calendarize_domain_model_configuration']['ctrl']['typeicon_classes'][$service->getIdentifier()] = 'apps-calendarize-type-' . Configuration::TYPE_TIME;
        $GLOBALS['TCA']['tx_calendarize_domain_model_configuration']['types'][$service->getIdentifier()]['showitem'] = $service->getTcaServiceTypeFields();
    }
 }
 ExtensionManagementUtility::addTCAcolumns('tx_calendarize_domain_model_configuration',
    [
        'flex_form' => [
            'config' => [
                'type' => 'flex',
                'ds_pointerField' => 'type',
                'ds' => $flexForms,
            ],
        ],
    ]
 );

Hey @okmiim ,
thanks for the preperation. I fixed the ext_localconf.php be remove one DI trigger in one of the service objects. I added your logic and tests the custom "Time Manipulation" example in v12.
