Property mapping error with additional fields

[the-andyman]

First of all, thank you for the further development of the extension.

Unfortunately, I have a problem when sending the application it then appears the following 503 error message:

ErrorCore: Exception handler (WEB): Uncaught TYPO3 Exception: #1297759968: Exception while property mapping at property path "": Property "firstname" was not found in target object of type "Dan\Jobfair\Domain\Model\Application".

I had added a field called firstname to the application form.

In the AdditionalConfiguration.php I have set the templateRootPaths and layoutRootPaths as in the documentation.

Im using TYPO3 11.5.12 and jobfair 4.0.2

What can be the reason for the problem?

Hi, the error appears, because your new field "firstname" does not exist in the Model "Application". Here is what you need to do:

• Add an additional field to tx_jobfairs_domain_model_application in ext_tables.sql
• Extend the TCA of tx_jobfairs_domain_model_application.php with the new field.
• Lastly, you need to override the Application Model. This is not so easy, as other areas, like the controller, depend on that exact class. I've heard this extension is good: https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/extender but I haven't had tried it yet, so I can't give you tips on that.
