is there a way to configure the Presets of the CKE-Editor in Flexforms.
The Extension does not have any tables.
Typo3 version >8.7
Yes you can set the Preset of each Flexform / TCA field individually. For Flexforms in XML:
<enableRichtext>1</enableRichtext>
<richtextConfiguration>full</richtextConfiguration>

Extensions change TCA in ext_tables.php
Check for ExtensionManagementUtility and $GLOBALS["TCA"].
During upgrading typo3 version 7 to 8
How to solve this?
If you're the owner of this extension, it is recommended to migrate the TCA changes into the extensions' folder Configuration/TCA/ for new TCA tables, and Configuration/TCA/Overrides/ when adding fields or manipulating TCA.
This way, all changes from ext_tables.php should be moved in there, due to a better performance in frontend. See also this change:
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/latest/Changelog/8.5/Breaking-78384-FrontendIgnoresTCAInExtTables.html
With FLexform it is possible to get check a parent Field using
<displayCond>FIELD:parentRec.field:=:value</displayCond>
Can I use the same method for simple TCA (my child is type inline)?
'displayCond' => 'FIELD:parentRec.field:=:value',
This doesn't work for me.
TYPO3 version 8.7
Yes, parentRec is limited to FlexForms.
Depending on your usecase this could be done with columnsOverrides together with overrideChildTca.
In versions prior to TYPO3 7.6 you could select a position for your header within your content element (left, middle, right as far as I remember).
The field which has been used for storing that information in tt_content header_position is still available.
However, it will not appear in the backend.
I'm also using fluid_styled_content for rendering my content, and the Header partial doesn't contain any reference to the position, but only to the layout field.
My question is: How can I reenable that field and use it to position my headers?
You have to build a quick extension of yours which can reenable the field. You need to create folders and a file like following:
your_ext/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php
the contents of that file are:
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility;
ExtensionManagementUtility::addTCAcolumns('tt_content',[
'header_position' => [
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:your_ext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tt_content.header_position',
'config' => [
'type' => 'select',
'renderType' => 'selectSingle',
'items' => [
['LLL:EXT:your_ext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tt_content.header_position.left', 'left'],
['LLL:EXT:your_ext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tt_content.header_position.right', 'right'],
['LLL:EXT:your_ext/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tt_content.header_position.center', 'center']
]
]
]
]);
ExtensionManagementUtility::addFieldsToPalette('tt_content', 'header', '--linebreak--,header_position', 'after:header_layout');
ExtensionManagementUtility::addFieldsToPalette('tt_content', 'headers', '--linebreak--,header_position', 'after:header_layout');
Now the field should be back in the backend, because you've added it to the TCA via addTCAColumns to the tt_content configuration and added it via addFieldsToPalette to the header and headers palettes of tt_content, which are used by the types textmedia and header.
You can find out more about this by using the Configuration module in the TYPO3 backend. You can see it, when you are logged in as admin. Also a good place to look and learn about the TCA is the TCA reference: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/
Now you need to alter the fluid_styled_content templates. You need to create template overrides for the header partial of fluid_styled_content.
First create a folder: your_ext/Configuration/TypoScript and add a setup.txt and a constants.txt file.
In setup.txt add the following lines:
lib.fluidContent{
templateRootPaths{
10 = {$plugin.your_ext.view.fluid_styled_content.templateRootPath}
}
partialRootPaths{
10 = {$plugin.your_ext.view.fluid_styled_content.partialRootPath}
}
layoutRootPaths{
10 = {$plugin.your_ext.view.fluid_styled_content.layoutRootPath}
}
}
In constants.txt do:
plugin.your_ext{
view{
fluid_styled_content{
templateRootPath = EXT:your_ext/Resources/Private/FluidStyledContent/Templates/
partialRootPath = EXT:your_ext/Resources/Private/FluidStyledContent/Partials/
layoutRootPath = EXT:your_ext/Resources/Private/FluidStyledContent/Layouts/
}
}
}
To enable your TypoScript, you need to add a ext_tables.php in your your_ext folder and give it the following one-liner:
TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addStaticFile($_EXTKEY,'Configuration/TypoScript', 'Your Ext Template');
You need to include your static TypoScript to your page via the Template module to enable the change to fluid_styled_content
Now you can copy the templates you need from
typo3/sysext/fluid_styled_content/Resources/Private/Templates
typo3/sysext/fluid_styled_content/Resources/Private/Partials
typo3/sysext/fluid_styled_content/Resources/Private/Layouts
into your extensions folders you need to create:
your_ext/Resources/Private/FluidStyledContent/Templates
your_ext/Resources/Private/FluidStyledContent/Partials
your_ext/Resources/Private/FluidStyledContent/Layouts
Now you can alter the templates. For your header_position field, you probably just need to copy
typo3/sysext/fluid_styled_content/Resources/Private/Partials/Heaeder.html
to
your_ext/Resources/Private/FluidStyledContent/Partials/Header.html
and add your selected value as {data.header_position} to a div class and style that.
Keep in mind you do not need to copy all of the templates, because with the TypoScript you just defined another location for fluid to search for templates and take them, if they are available. If not, fluid will walk back the chain and take the templates that are defined at position 9 and lower. You can look into the TypoScript Object Browser by the Template module and look into the TypoScript variable lib.FluidContent to see, if your TypoScript include has worked.
Hope this helped a bit ;)
The database field header_position is only included in the TYPO3 core extension css_styled_content. If you don't have that extension installed the field in the database is probably there because it was installed sometime before.
It is not advised to install css_styled_content and fluid_styled_content installed in parallel as some options can conflict.
If you want to use fluid_styled_content and have the header_position field available the best way to go would be to create a very small TYPO3 extension yourself that includes the necessary SQL definition for the column header_position, the appropriate TCA configuration for that column and a few bits of TypoScript to extend/override the „Partial” paths of fluid_styled_content.
I want to add a new sorting option to the flexform in the frontend plugin of the TYPO3 extension tx_news. This works fine so far with these additions:
ext_tables.php of my theme extension:
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXT']['news']['orderByNews'] .= ',archive';
TypoScript configuration within my theme extension:
plugin.tx_news.settings.orderByAllowed := addToList(archive)
What I miss now is the possibility to change the label of the new item archive in the select field Sort by of the flexform.
I assume it is done via page TSconfig and TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.news_pi1.sDEF.settings.orderBy but I can't figure out exactly how.
TYPO3 version is 6.2
This did the trick for me:
TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.news_pi1.sDEF.settings\.orderBy.altLabels.archive = LLL:EXT:my_theme/pathto.xlf:archive
It's important to escape the dot before the fieldname!
I never tried to use pageTS to localize (only template TS), so I don't know if it is actually possible. I would however suggest localizing the label using the locallang files, in this case creating locallang_db.xlf in appropriate path in typo3conf/l10n/ with localization for tx_news_domain_model_news.archive label.

How can I rename a TYPO3 CMS backend field for authors? i.e. the mentioned field for content-elements of csc_styled_content?
In general, overriding label names can by done with Page TSconfig in the backend. The following example modifies the label of the subheader field.
TCEFORM {
tt_content {
subheader.label = My new Label-Name
}
}
There are two way to configure that adjustment in TYPO3.
Type your configuration changes directly to the page settings » resources » TypoScript Configuration » Page TSConfig (see the screenshot below)
as an alternative you can store that configuration directly in the file system - either in your custom extension (e.g. at typo3conf/ext/my_extension/Configuration/TSconfig/labels.t3s) or with a similar name in the global file storage (e.g. fileadmin/templates/configuration/...)
That's basically it to provide custom labels for any database table in the TYPO3 backend. Find more aspects that can be adjusted in the accordant Page TSconfig documentation.
If you want to rename a field of an extension like tx_news you could do it this way.
TCEFORM {
tx_news_domain_model_news {
title.label = Your New Label
}
}
Now there are two ways to get this to work:
Put it in Page TSConfig of the page settings
OR
Load it with your extension from a file (e.g. EXT:my_extension/Configuration/pageTSConfig.typoscript). For that you have to import this script by EXT:my_extension/ext_localconf.php!
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPageTSConfig(
'<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source="FILE:EXT:my_extrension/Configuration/pageTSConfig.typoscript">');
