README
EXT:doktypemapper - A TYPO3 Extension for mapping doktypes to backend_layouts
Features
By selecting the doktype
of a page the value of the field backend_layout
is automatically set. There is no need for editors to select a backend_layout
. In fact it is recommended to hide the fields backend_layout
and backend_layout_next_level
from editors.
Find more about how we use this extension at b13, including examples, in this blog post.
Installation
Install this extension via composer req b13/doktypemapper
and activate
the extension in the Extension Manager of your TYPO3 installation.
Once installed, add a new configuration doktype
to your Backend-Layouts.
Configure your Backend-Layouts
Simply add the new configuration doktype
to your Backend-Layout, e.g.
mod.web_layout.BackendLayouts.MyPage.config.backend_layout.doktype = 144
This will automatically set the backend_layout
to pagets__MyPage
when a page has doktype 144
.
Hide fields from editors
It is recommended to hide the fields backend_layout
and backend_layout_next_level
from page properties (the value is set automatically) using PageTsConfig:
TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout_next_level.disabled = 1
Note
This extension comes with a default empty backend_layout configuration (see Configuration/PageTs/main.tsconfig
) for
TYPO3's default "empty" page types (like Shortcut, External Link, etc.) to ensure valid database entries for every page
type (even the ones without any content).
