Enabling / Disabling Groups of properties for a NodeType depending on the Selectbox Value of a Parent NodeType

Using Neos & Flow Flow App Development
1

Hi Neos-Experts,

I was wondering if it is Possible to show/hide groups of Properties depending on the Value selected via Selectbox. The Dropdown Property is located in the Parent NodeType. I made Constraints to the Contentcollection only allowing a “child NodeType” (basically I want to buld a Table).
So the Main NodeType has the Skeleton of a Table and the TableItem would be the Rows…
the Property in the Parent NodeType Table has a dropdown which should state how many Columns a Row should have.

there could be up to 5 Columns MAX and the idea behind this was to just show / hide the TableItem Groups (since I want to group the column Properties in my Row NodeType as Column 1 - 5… ) so the Editor fills it up as Configured earlier in the Parent.

here is the YAML so Far:

    'neos.test:table':
      superTypes:
        'Neos.Neos:Content': true
      ui:
        label: 'Table'
        icon: 'icon-table'
        group: 'general'
        inlineEditable: TRUE
        inspector:
          groups:
            tablesettings:
              label: 'Table Einstellungen'
      childNodes:
        tablecollection:
          type: 'Neos.Neos:ContentCollection'
          constraints:
            nodeTypes:
              '*': False
              'neos.test:TableItem': True
      properties:
        columnCount:
          type: integer
          ui:
            label: 'Number of Columns'
            inspector:
              group: tablesettings
              editor: 'Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/SelectBoxEditor'
              editorOptions:
                values:
                  1:
                    label: '1'
                  2:
                    label: '2'
                  3:
                    label: '3'
                  4:
                    label: '4'
                  5:
                    label: '5'


'neos.test:TableItem':
  superTypes:
    'Neos.Neos:Content': true
  ui:
    label: 'Table-Row'
    icon: 'icon-'
    inlineEditable: TRUE
    inspector:
      groups:
        tablerowsettings:
          label: 'Table-Row Settings'
        tablecolumnsettings1:
          label: 'Table-Column1 Settings'
        tablecolumnsettings2:
          label: 'Table-Column2 Settings'
        tablecolumnsettings3:
          label: 'Table-Column3 Settings'
        tablecolumnsettings4:
          label: 'Table-Column4 Settings'
        tablecolumnsettings5:
          label: 'Table-Column5 Settings'
  properties:
    headerRow:
      type: boolean
      defaultValue: false
      ui:
        label: 'Header Row?'
        inspector:
          group: 'tablerowsettings'
    col1:
      type: string
      ui:
        label: 'Column1 Content'
        inspector:
          group: 'tablecolumnsettings1'
    col2:
      type: string
      ui:
        label: 'Column2 Content'
        inspector:
          group: 'tablecolumnsettings2'
    col3:
      type: string
      ui:
        label: 'Column3 Content'
        inspector:
          group: 'tablecolumnsettings3'
    col4:
      type: string
      ui:
        label: 'Column4 Content'
        inspector:
          group: 'tablecolumnsettings4'
    col5:
      type: string
      ui:
        label: 'Column5 Content'
        inspector:
          group: 'tablecolumnsettings5'

so I was looking at the Dynamic Client-side Configuration Processing but I am not sure how I should do this.

thanks for your Answers in advance.

Cheers,
Patrick

Hi, currently it’s not possible to affect the inspector properties of child nodes.

hi,

okay so how about going through a Loop and create the Properties on the fly in Loop ? or do you by any chance have a Suggestion how I could implement it ? =)

Also not possible :wink:

NodeType definitions are static. And you create all kinds of problems if you make the somehow related to the structure of the content repository.

Have an abstract nodetype and create 5 short variants that inherit from that one.
