colSpan not working in the backend view

[patrickklosedev]

I have the following configuration in the file tt_content.php:

According to an example of this extension, this should lead to having the first row span the two columns that follow.
However, this is the result in the backend:

Is this a bug or did I used "colSpan" wrongly?

TYPO3 12?
"Layout-Mode"

but "Language-Comparison-Mode"

this is same as core backend_layout rendering behaviour.

[patrickklosedev]

Yes, Typo3 V12.
And even in Layout Mode, it doesn't work.

When I check the source code, the defined colspan is not used.
By changing this value directly in the source code, it works (temporary):

[achimfritz]

this is my source-code (with EXT:container_example, https://github.com/b13/container-example/blob/master/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php#L11)

ah i see ..., you have to write "colspan" instead of "colSpan" in your configuration

[patrickklosedev]

Unfortunately, this doesn't work either...
I already have this tried before.

I will try out your code example and get back to you.

Same issue in v12.

Same problem here with TYPO3 11 and latest EXT:container. PHP 7.4 or 8.2 doesn't matter.

It works in column view, but not in language view.

We have examined the problem in detail.
The reason why the colspan set in the TCA is not used could be found in sysext/backend/Classes/View/BackendLayout/Grid/GridColumn.php:

    public function getColSpan(): int
    {
        if ($this->context->getDrawingConfiguration()->getLanguageMode()) {
            return 1;
        }
        return $this->colSpan;
    }

In languageView the TCA values are ignored. Crazy...

Thanks for digging into it. So next step is to open a core issue?

I came across this issue in a current project. I don't think this is a core issue, as the core handles this part as it should and doesn't think about grid inside grid.

We just need custom getters inside B13\Container\Backend\Grid\ContainerGridColumn which returns the setting without respecting the context. The context is not needed inside a container (for colspan and rowspan).

Tested that with an xclass overriding the getters:

class ContainerGridColumn extends B13ContainerGridColumn
{
    public function getColSpan(): int
    {
        return $this->colSpan;
    }

    public function getRowSpan(): int
    {
        return $this->rowSpan;
    }
}

Is there any news here? I still have the same problem in TYPO3 v13 and container v3.1.3.

Same Issue here.

TYPO3 v11.5.43
