Copy plugins not possible

[MaximilianSchweiger]

Hello,

I have installed your extension on the following system:

• Operating system: Unix
• TYPO3: 11.5.25
• PHP: 8.1.17
• content_defender: 3.3

Now I have the problem that every time I try to copy a plugin element I get the following message:

Core: Exception handler (WEB): Uncaught TYPO3 Exception: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given | TypeError thrown in file /mnt/c/Projekte/typo3/###clientname###/private/typo3conf/ext/content_defender/Classes/Repository/ContentRepository.php in line 73. Requested URL: http://###clienturl###/typo3/ajax/record/process?token=--AnonymizedToken--&CB[paste]=tt_content|16&CB[pad]=normal&CB[update][colPos]=1&CB[update][sys_language_uid]=0

I tried the following plugins (on the latest version):

• Index Search
• Powermail
• Messages
• container
• and custom plugins

Once I uninstall your extension, I no longer have the problem. Can you help me with this problem?

Hi @MaximilianSchweiger,

I tried to reproduce the problem in a current TYPO3 11.5 installation with PHP 8.1.9 but I don't get the Exception. System is in development mode and error handling is set to debug as well. Can you give me a step by step instruction what you are doing? Is there any pageTS on that page? Are you using an admin or user account?

Hi @IchHabRecht,

I have done the following on my system:

• The system is set up via Composer
• I have installed the container extension and yours
• I have add a container element according to the extension manual instructions ** Code from the TCA/tt_content:

  /***

  • Container */ //2Cols \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance(\B13\Container\Tca\Registry::class)->configureContainer( ( new \B13\Container\Tca\ContainerConfiguration( '2Cols', // CType '2 Cols Container', // label '2 Cols Container', // description [ [ ['name' => 'LLL:EXT:child_ext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_be.xlf:container.leftside', 'colPos' => 200, 'allowed' => ['CType' => 'text, image, textmedia']], ['name' => 'LLL:EXT:child_ext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_be.xlf:container.rightside', 'colPos' => 202, 'allowed' => ['CType' => 'text, image, textmedia, accordion']] ] ] // grid configuration ) ) // set an optional icon configuration ->setIcon('EXT:container/Resources/Public/Icons/container-2col.svg') );

Then I created a container element on a blank new page and inserted a TextMedia element into each col including content. Next I tried to copy the element via right click. The error occurs afterwards when trying to paste this. In various tests I noticed that no matter what allowed content element is contained in the container element, the error occurs. Also, the container element should be empty.

However, I can copy the container elements once your extension is disabled. I don't change anything else in the code and leave all bindings as they are.

I am also in development mode and logged in as admin.

Thanks for the help and should you need any more please get in touch.

Hi @MaximilianSchweiger,

Thank you for your answer. Are you able to reproduce this problem in an installation without container? As far as I know container uses some content_defender classes if available and might miss some compatibility.

Hi @IchHabRecht ,

I have tried to copy an element which is not in a container. Unfortunately, I seem to have the same error here. However, I did not notice this problem before.

Neither your nor the container extension should be installed. I can copy everything. But I did not have the case to need only the content_defender extension at a TYPO3 installation.

What I can confirm, however, is that the problem does not occur with another system. Here I have the following configuration: Operating system: Unix

• TYPO3: 11.5.25
• PHP: 8.1.17
• content_defender: 3.2.3
• container: 2.1.2

So only the versions of the extensions differ. On the system with the problem the following versions are used:

• content_defender: 3.3.0
• container: 2.2.1

Maybe this helps, that with the updates some compatibility no longer works.

Hi @MaximilianSchweiger,

Thank you for your reply. As long as the container extension is active its code is executed during a copy command is executed nevertheless, I guess. That's why I ask you to try to reproduce it in an installation without container being active. As I'm not able to reproduce the problem, I can't help to solve it. If it is some compatibility issue, I can't solve it as well as I'm not able to change the code of the container extension ;-)

Please see #131 for a follow up. Maybe this is related to your configuration as well.
