Hook

Haben MetaModels gefixt, um diesen hübschen Querschläger abzufangen...
https://github.com/heimrichhannot/contao-multi_column_editor/blob/master/classes/Hooks.php#L45

dürfte anderen Erweiterungen ähnlich gehen...

Fixed in e9a6b62.

Please note that contao-multi_column_editor is abandoned. https://github.com/heimrichhannot/contao-multi-column-editor-bundle is the current one which is for Contao 4.

What also might be intersting is, how you fixed it in MetaModels.

Ah ok, thanks. Maybe you could test the extension if it works now? It should, but just to be sure ;-)

Don't you still set a field in dca.fields.NAME to true? Which should cause issues with every extension expecting an array here as it's the expected behaviour in contao...

[Defcon0]

Ah, I see. I do this since the fields in eval -> multiColumnEditor -> fields don't really exist for Contao. If I remove the "true" and do an ajax call in one of the fields in multi_column_editor, I get the exception from contao that the field doesn't exist.

But if the problem is just that it shouldn't be truebut [], I can easily fix that. Or would it be better to add the fields to the normal dca automatically but without sql so that we don't have them in the db?

[dmolineus]

Setting an empty array would be better I think. I don't know how the multi column editor works (I know it needs some hacks to overcome Contao limitations for advanced widgets though), but I think it should be okay to keep an empty array as Contao does not enforce you to have an inputType f.e.

@Defcon0 What is the reason not to use the MCW or to program your own "MCW"?

[Defcon0]

OK, fixed in ced0ab9.

Reason for why we built multi column editor is answered in the README.md of this module ;-)

The module is similar to menatwork/MultiColumnWizard but works in frontend as well (in combination with the form generator module heimrichhannot/contao-formhybrid).

o.k. ... we push the MCW to the FE for front-end-editing in MM - see https://github.com/richardhj/contao-multicolumnwizard-frontend
