TYPO3: Select count(*) where the hidden rows are included

Question

Im using this code to show the number of registers I have in tt_address in Page ID 68, and works fine, except that it doesnt show the hidden elements.

# Default PAGE object:
page = PAGE
page{
  20 = CONTENT
  20 {
    table = tt_address

    select{
      selectFields = count(uid) AS count
      pidInList = 68
      where = deleted = 0
    }

    renderObj = COA
    renderObj {
      10 = TEXT
      10 {
        value = Status: {field:count}
        insertData = 1
      }
    }
  }
}

How could I count also the hidden records?

Answer 1

I think it is not possible to get hidden records using typoscript (no records from hidden, timed or access-protected pages can be selected!). Reference link: http://wiki.typo3.org/TSref/select

You may need to use "userfunc" as given below:

Typoscript:

includeLibs.showHiddenElements = fileadmin/lib/showHiddenElements.php
page.20  =USER
page.20  {
 userFunc =user_showHiddenElements->main
 field = uid
 table = tt_address
 where = deleted = 0 and pid = 68
}

fileadmin/lib/showHiddenElements.php :

<?php
class user_ShowHiddenElements {
 function main($content, $conf){
    $res=  $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->exec_SELECTcountRows(
                $conf[field],         // SELECT ...
                $conf[table],     // FROM ...
                $conf[where],    // WHERE...
               '',            // GROUP BY...
               '',    // ORDER BY...
               ''            // LIMIT ...
            );
    return $res;
 }
}
?>

You can't bypass the "enable fields" where clauses in a normal way, but TYPO3 allows to hack around that using a UNION query:

select {
    selectFields = count(uid) AS count
    pidInList = 68
    where.data = TSFE:id
    # we hack our way around the enablefields restriction
    where.wrap = 0 UNION SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM tt_address WHERE pid = 68
}

Answer 3

An alternative solution:

page{
24 = CONTENT
24.wrap = <div class="status_count">|</div>
24 {
    table = tt_address
    select {
        selectFields = count(uid) AS count
        pidInList = 68
        where.data = TSFE:id
        # we hack our way around the enablefields restriction
        where.wrap = |0 UNION SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM tt_address WHERE pid = 68
    }
    renderObj = COA
    renderObj {
        10 = TEXT
        10.wrap = |</div><div style="display:none">
        10 {
            value = Status: {field:count}
            insertData = 1
        }
    }
}
}

Thanks cweiske for giving me this idea.

This is the way: eg Showing deleted or hidden pages only

table = pages
select.pidInList = 1
select.where = deleted=1 or hidden=1 UNION SELECT * FROM pages WHERE 1=0

This works 'cause the enablefields are appended to the query. Union with 1=0 where clause returns nothing with the enablefields.
