README
What does it do?
This extension allows you to display a character counter in the form of 23 / 60
below input fields,
text areas and RTE fields. This is most useful for SEO related fields, so that editors get a hint,
if their title or description matches the requirement.
This does not limit the number of characters, that can be entered. This counter is for informational purpose only.
Installation & configuration
The extension is available from packagist.org
composer require webcoast/character-counter
or from TYPO3 extension repository.
Usage
To enable the character counter for a certain field, use the TCA helper method in your TCA/Overrides files.
Pages: seo_title
In Configuration/TCA/Overrides/pages.php
add:
\WEBcoast\CharacterCounter\Helper\Tca::enableCharacterCounter('pages', 'seo_title', 60, 40);
The last argument warning
is optional and defaults to 80% of the third argument max
.
You can also adjust your TCA manually by adding the follow to the field's config
section:
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ArrayUtility::mergeRecursiveWithOverrule($GLOBALS['TCA']['pages']['columns']['seo_title']['config'], [ 'fieldWizard' => [ 'characterCount' => [ 'renderType' => 'characterCountWizard' ] ], 'characterCount' => [ 'warning' => 120, // Optional: Defaults to 80% of `max` 'max' => 160 ] ] );
