Plugin options from FlexForms in TYPO3

Question

I built an extension using extension builder and added a plugin for this. I would like to add plugin options at the time of adding the plugin to the page, which will determine the controller action for that page. Say I have two pages List and Search, I should be able to give the plugin option to choose MyExtController->list for List page and MyExtController->search for Search page.

So far I did this:

In my ext_tables.php :

$pluginSignature = str_replace('_','',$_EXTKEY) . 'myext';
$TCA['tt_content']['types']['list']['subtypes_addlist'][$pluginSignature] = 'pi_flexform';
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPiFlexFormValue($pluginSignature, 'FILE:EXT:' . $_EXTKEY . '/Configuration/FlexForms/flexform_myext.xml');

my FlexForm in Configuration/FlexForms:

<T3DataStructure>
    <sheets>
        <sDEF>
            <ROOT>
                <TCEforms>
                    <sheetTitle>Function</sheetTitle>
                </TCEforms>
                <type>array</type>
                <el>
                    <switchableControllerActions>
                        <TCEforms>
                            <label>Select function</label>
                            <config>
                                <type>select</type>
                                <items>
                                    <numIndex index="0">
                                        <numIndex index="0">List</numIndex>
                                        <numIndex index="1">MyExtController->list</numIndex>
                                    </numIndex>
                                    <numIndex index="1">
                                        <numIndex index="0">Search</numIndex>
                                        <numIndex index="1">MyExtController->search</numIndex>
                                    </numIndex>
                                </items>
                            </config>
                        </TCEforms>
                    </switchableControllerActions>
                </el>
            </ROOT>
        </sDEF>
    </sheets>
</T3DataStructure>

Somehow, I think i'm missing something. This does not work. Am I doing it right ? I do not see any plugin options.

You missed the underscore in the $pluginSignature it should be:

$pluginSignature = str_replace('_','',$_EXTKEY) . '_myext'
//                                                 ^-here

Also keep in mind that '_myext' should be lower cased name of your plugin (no the ext) (that string which you register as a second argument of the registerPlugin method)
