TYPO3 tips

TCA for image manipulation (crop) in own extension

There are a few examples on the net of how to activate image manipulation for tt_content and define crop variants (cropVariants). I have not found an example of how to add crop properties directly to an image field in my own extension. After a long search and a lot of trial and error, this is my result, which works.

tt_content: set layout and frame_class options dynamically

With the help of the fields tt_content.layout and tt_content.frame_class you can influence the appearance of content elements and plugins in the frontend. But perhaps the list of options in the TYPO3 backend should adapt to previously made settings? After all, we don't want to burden the editors with non-functioning options. If you're looking for something like this, we might have just the thing for you.

New concept for country management in TYPO3

Thanks to the z7_countries extension, a country configuration is now available in TYPO3 in addition to the existing language functionality. This makes it possible to display selected content specifically for different countries.

Allow or block content elements in backend layouts with the "Content Defender" extension

The "Content Defender" extension is intended for the following scenarios:

  • You want to allow only certain content elements in certain columns (colPos) of backend layouts or prohibit individual ones
  • You want to limit the number of content elements that can be created in a column

In the video we show how easy it is to use the extension.
