TYPO3 10.4 new fields not found in frontend

Question

I have extended database table fe_users with new field using extension builder. The fields are visible in backend user-interface, but not available in frontend in Typo3 10.4.x . But the same code works fine in Typo3 9.x frontend and backend.

I have also tried setting recordType to nothing in the ext_typoscript_setup.typoscript but this also does not help

mapping {
    tableName = fe_users
    recordType = 
}

Any ideas on what more to look for?

Answer 1

The table mapping of the Extbase persistence is not longer possible in TypoScript. Migrate your TypoScript to a PHP file named EXT:myextension/Configuration/Extbase/Persistence/Classes.php.

See breaking change 87623 for further details.

A typical Classes.php file looks like the following.

<?php

return [
  \Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model\Object::class => [
    'tableName' => 'tx_extension_domain_model_object',
  ]
];

Answer 2

This is how I implemented it. There was one more line (.i.e 'subclasses') that had to be added to Michael's response. (This is tested in Typo3 11.x as well)

My Configuration/Extbase/Persistence/Classes.php

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

return [
    \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FrontendUser::class => [
      'subclasses' => [
          '\T3IN\T3inStores\Domain\Model\UserStore' => \T3IN\T3inStores\Domain\Model\UserStore::class,
      ]        
    ], 
    \T3IN\T3inStores\Domain\Model\UserStore::class => [
        'tableName' => 'fe_users',
        'recordType' => 'Tx_T3inStores_UserStore',
    ],
];
