README

Whenever you are in the page module and clicking on a sys folder in the page tree, you will be forwarded to list view automatically.

Requirements

• TYPO3 12 (use 3.x) and older versions use version 2.x

Installation

1. Install extension. Use either the extension manager or do a composer require georgringer/autoswitchtolistview.
2. You are done.

Configuration

You can disable the behaviour by using the following code in Page TsConfig: autoswitchtolistview.disable = 1

The extension configuration (Admin Tools > Settings > Extension Configuration > autoswitchtolistview) offers a mode setting with three options:

• Switch immediately (default): switch to the list module without asking.
• Ask every time: a confirmation modal is shown on every visit of a folder.
• Ask once per folder and remember the decision: the modal is shown once per folder, the decision is stored in the backend user settings and applied automatically on the next visit.

Whenever a folder is opened in the list module automatically, a small hint is shown below the record list. It offers "Open page module once" to view the page module of the folder without changing anything, and — with a remembered decision — "Forget this decision" to be asked again. If you decided to stay in the page module, the same kind of hint is shown there to revert that decision.
