Is it possible to add icons to the left or right side for Content Elements? I would like to move some of the functionality from the contextMenu to the icon bar, is that possible? Perhaps by TSConfig ? See attachment.
Several options exist for multiple TYPO3 versions and depending on where you would prefer to add the copy/cut icon, or indeed, any other icon you might wish:
Before 10.3 and without fluid-based page layout module:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['GLOBAL']['recStatInfoHooks']
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['cms/layout/class.tx_cms_layout.php']['tt_content_drawFooter']
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['cms/layout/class.tx_cms_layout.php']['tt_content_drawItem'] through $outHeader variable.
After 10.3 with fluid-based page layout module:
All of the above, plus
Overlay of template EXT:backend/Resources/Private/Partials/PageLayout/Record/Header.html, or
Overlay of template EXT:backend/Resources/Private/Partials/PageLayout/Record/Footer.html, or
Overlay of template EXT:backend/Resources/Private/Partials/PageLayout/Record.html depending on where you want the icon to be placed
These should provide you with every conceivable option for adding the icon precisely where you wish it to be added. TYPO3 10.3 with fluid based page module enabled provides you with the createst flexibility. Earlier versions or with fluid based page module disabled should probably use $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['GLOBAL']['recStatInfoHooks'].
I personaly wouldn't add too many button visible by default on the top right of each content, because it will unnecessarily overloads the amount of information on the page module with action buttons that are not the most often used.
In particular, the "paste" button should only appears when there is something in the clipboard, and it now appears everywhere you can paste (you can see one above the content in your screenshot).
Cheers,

I want to achieve having a menu with 2 levels, and some should always be expanded - some shouldn't. Is there any way I can hand over a class or something, if possible set up in the backend, to be able to choose which menu links should be expanded?
For example:
Menu Link 1 with no subitems
Menu Link 2 with subitems expandable (sublinks only visible on click)
Menu Link 3 with subitems always expanded (sublinks always visible)
Sub link 1
Sub link 2
In general you need to add a class to the link or the litag so CSS or javascript can decide which parts are visible.
A similar question would be to have some submenus not rendered at all, but as you want these submenus to be visible on a click they must be rendered anyway. so it is only the question how to get this information into the rendered menu. it should be a flag which can change the visibility. that could be done with CSS and javascript.
You can sore this information in the pagesrecord, where you can use any otherwise unused field (example would be layout). The realisation depends on the way you generate the menu.
Meanwhile you have two options:
classic: with typoscript
fluid: menu-processor
With both options you can add classes to the menu-items, where the JS can work on.
I am building a multi tenant platform and want to have different logos and styling of the navbar depending on logged in user or some other business rule. How do I do that?
If I want to add widgets on the navbar, for example notification indicator, how do I do that?
An interesting possiblity is to make a component, and that component includes a /style tag that is data-bound. You can also include base64 coded images that is used by the css in your component.
For inserting stuff in the navbar maybe you can use pseudo elements from CSS.
Otherwise I would install a local Turnkey development like this https://wiki.mdriven.net/index.php/Development_in_Visual_Studio. Then you can change any part of the site.
Are there plugins that achieve the following:
You can add text blocks into a section of a page (left, right, normal,bottom). the text isnt shown ommediately but after clicking the title/header of the text block which slides open the text. I'm in need of such an extension as I want to place much content on a site without throwing the whole text on a viewer. There seem not to ve any available.
By default TYPO3 doesn't force any particular frontend library so probably you won't find such ext (maybe somebody created extension like this but for 99% it will be required to fit it tou your needs)
Instead there are generic extensions like Grid Elements or Dynamic Content Elements (DCE) - you can use it to predefine your custom HTML structures and then reuse them easily (no need for advanced PHP programming of your own plugins).
So finally you can combine them with dedicated JS libs for frontend i.e. Bootstrap and its Accordion Collapse
If you use TYPO3 6.2 or higher have a look at df_contentslide. After install you'll find another section under appearance in CEs. Now you can slide every content element. It is easy to use and with little knowledge also easy to style.
I am very new in Typo3 world (I came from Joomla and WordPress) and I have some doubts related a thing that has been requested by a customer that use Typo3 for its site
He ask me to create some colored boxes into a specific page. Each of these boxes simply must contain text or links.
How can I do this?
I am thinking that I can solve in the following way (but I have not idea if this is a GOOD solution):
In the backend I go in the Page section and I open the settings related to the page that I have to modify
Here I have 3 columns (Left, Normal, Right) and for example I add a NEW Regular Text Element into this central column
Now appear to me the wysiwyg editor, so I click on the Toggle text mode icon and I pass from the wysiwyg mode to the pure HTML editor's mode and now I will create some div tags (settings the CSS settings for the background color and the dimension) that rappresent my boxes (and into these div I put their textual contents).
Is it a possible solution or is it a bad solution?
Tnx
Andrea
You may either use the RTE typoscript config to add some new paragraph styles, which will make the boxes or use the section_frame field in tt_content, a field called "frame" in the backend when you edit a content record. Both solutions would just need some typoscript (which you will deal with very often in the TYPO3 world) and CSS code.
If you need some more structure in the backend, there is also an extension for that called multicolumn. If you just need "more" columns in the backend (in combination with backend layouts) to achieve different looks, this can also be done by adding some typoscript config. To give you a more precise recommendation, some sort of scribble or design screenshot of what you want would be nice.
I'm new to Joomla, but I figured out how to set it up and create my first joomla template which only includes the content area and a top menu.
Now I want to display a different images on every page.
I do not know how to do it in Joomla, because as far as I know I can only write articles (with images in them, which is not what I want) and include them in the Menu Items as Layout: Article.
Can I somehow create my own parameters for the Layout: Article and use them in my template? The cms user should be able to decide which image to show on each "page".
You can do it by means of a module. You can define for which menu position each module is visible. You can put any article inside a module with a Article as Module extension
You can find a lots of modules at http://extensions.joomla.org/ which you can install from your administrator and enable it on a position to show different images on different pages.
check this page
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/photos-a-images/images-rotators
Header Image
https://support.pillwax.com/open-source/doku.php?id=joomla:header_image
This allows you to place your images in a folder and name them according to the page. You can match to articleid, menuid, category, section, or even show a rotating random image.
You would then just need to publish the module in the correct position.
