Listelement Items empty

[kimchristiansen]

I wanted to test this promising extension. I installed and configured the extension via composer as described in the instructions and created a content element.

Now I can create listelements, but not edit them. Not even the title field is editable.

Did I miss something?

Setup:
TYPO3 10.4.17
PHP 7.3.x
list elements 0.2.1

Further extensions:
container
content_defender

Thanks in advance!

Yes, we are still in the process of finishing up work here, and the documentation is lacking.

Here's what I suppose is missing: You need to add a showitem configuration to your element for the list items. This might look like this:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['types']['<yourelement>']['columnsOverrides'] = [
    // configuration for this element's tt_content field configuration
    'header' => [
        'description' => 'Description for the header field of the tt_content element',
    ],
    'tx_listelements_list' => [
        'label' => 'My List Item Label',
        'config' => [
            'appearance' => [
                'newRecordLinkTitle' => 'Add a new item to my list',
            ],
            'overrideChildTca' => [
                // add a showitem configuration for the list items for this CType
                'types' => [
                    '0' => [
                        'showitem' => '
                                header,
                                text,
                                --palette--;;hiddenpalette', // always include the hidden palette (languages)
                    ],
                ],
                'columns' => [
                    // change configuration for fields for list items here (for this CType's list items)
                    'text' => [
                        'config' => [
                            'rows' => 5,
                        ],
                    ],
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

You can change the fields for list items for each CType you create.

Thank you very much for the quick answer. That was the missing piece of information. Keep up the good work!
