TYPO3 - How to add a placeholder to an input field? - typo3

In TYPO3 (7.2.0) using the standard template engine, is there a way to add a placeholder attribute to the standard mail form text input?
At the moment I am using JavaScript to convert the labels into placeholders, but I am open to suggestions on a better way to do this...

The suggested solution of #biesior does only work for EXT:form 7.4 and higher (see changelog). The supplied picture shows the form wizard of TYPO3 7.5 or 7.6. In 7.2 you won't find any placeholder attribute in the wizard.
I recommend updating to TYPO3 7.6 since this version includes a major rewrite of EXT:form. You will be able to use fluid templates to customize your forms. Furthermore HTML5 attributes are possible. Before the rewrite the set of allowed attributes was quite limited. Now you are able to add all attributes you can think of (for example "data-"). See changelog.
If you have any questions regarding EXT:form join the channel on Slack. If you don't know Slack yet, check out the invite function.

During form fields editing you have many properties, also Placeholder
in text version it will be:
10 = TEXTLINE
10 {
type = text
class = foo-class
id = foo-id
name = foo
placeholder = Hmmm?
required = required
label {
value = My Field
}
}

Add fields to TYPO3 template for global site info?

How can I add some fields to the TYPO3 template (or a better location) for general site info?
For example, a phone number field so that I can add it to the site header or other non content area.
In the past I have used content elements in a special folder to add something like this, but that's not very user friendly for site editors.
If you want it to be (relatively) easy for site editors to edit, without building a custom module or something like that, content elements in a special folder is your best bet. We often use custom content elements for this so the field are more logical, but you do need to do some programming for this. More on creating custom fields can be found at https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/master/en-us/ApiOverview/ContentElements/AddingYourOwnContentElements.html
An alternative could be using a TypoScript constant. These are relatively easy to edit using the Constants editor in the Template module. Assuming you use Fluid templates, you can add it to your template with <f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.phoneNumber" /> In TypoScript you then add the following:
lib.phoneNumber = TEXT
lib.phoneNumber.value = {$phoneNumber}
More about the Constants editor can be found at https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-typoscript/master/en-us/UsingSetting/TheConstantEditor.html
in both other answers I miss the simplest solution:
defining the value as a generic fluid variable
page {
10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
10 {
:
variables {
:
phoneNumber = TEXT
phoneNumber.value = {$phoneNumber}
}
}
}
You do not need to use settings as it is no setting.
or jumping back from fluid to typoscript with lib.anything and a call to f:cObject viewhelper.
Aside of that I would recommend to consider if it is ok to need an admin (or even a maintainer to deploy a new version) to change that phone number (all typoscript, setup and constants, belongs into the site-extensions which is provided in a repository).
you always could restrict normal editors from accessing special pages or even columns or special content elements, where an admin can change data without a deploy-process.
(example: How much hassle it is if you need to change the number in case of emergency because of a breakdown of phone lines?)
I think the easiest way is to add it with TS, something like that :
page {
10 {
settings {
siteInfos {
phone = 01 02 03 04 05
}
}
}
}
And then , you can use this in you Fluid Templates :
{settings.siteInfos.phone}

How to show username in frontend in TYPO3 10?

In TYPO3 9 I managed to display the current username in a FLUID-template with the following Typoscript:
[loginUser=*]
temp.username = TEXT
temp.username {
insertData = 1
value = {TSFE:fe_user|user|username}
noTrimWrap = | ||
}
[global]
In TYPO3 10.4 this is not working anymore. Any idea how to display the current user?
Many thanks! Urs
In Typo3 V10, you have to use the Context API to retrieve data from global objects, try this :
[frontend.user.isLoggedIn]
temp.username = TEXT
temp.username.data = TSFE:fe_user|user|name
temp.username.wrap = |
[global]
Have a look at those links :
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-typoscript/master/en-us/DataTypes/Index.html
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/master/en-us/ApiOverview/Context/Index.html#context-api

It's probably not working because you're using the old TypoScript conditions. Since TYPO3 9 the conditions work with Symfony expressions. The old conditions were deprecated in TYPO3 9 (but still worked) and removed in TYPO3 10. So [loginUser=*] will never be true in TYPO3 10. You should use [frontend.user.isLoggedIn] instead.
See https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-typoscript/master/en-us/Conditions/Index.html for more about the new TypoScript conditions.
Why use TypoScript? It is very limited on what it can bring back. I just finished a tutorial where you can use a ViewHelper to add an ExtBase variable which assigns the whole user object in the FrontEnd and you can use it wherever you want with all it's relations, even the image, which is difficult to get via TypoScript.

TYPO3 Powermail - Methods to add a link in a checkbox label or title

Since powermail 6.0. it's possible to add a link in a checkbox label (for GDPR) as per the docu:
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/powermail/ForAdministrators/Privacy/Index.html#add-a-link-in-a-checkbox-label.
It says:
Just use an option in your FlexForm like (with an example link to page 123 where the privacy terms are located):
I accept the <f:link.page pageUid="123">privacy terms</f:link.page> | privacy terms accepted
After that you have to enable html in labels (this feature is turned off for security reasons). Example TypoScript constants:
plugin.tx_powermail.settings.misc.htmlForLabels = 1
... yet it also says that '(this feature is turned off for security reasons)'.
What other options are there to accomplish this? (with no security loss?)
We add a normal content element with the link above the checkbox. For example to accept the terms and conditions. Then the content element is included in the form. See https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/powermail/ForEditors/AddANewForm/FieldContentElement/Index.html
You can enable it in:
Template - > Constant Editor - > Powermail_Aditional - > Allow html in html fields/ Allow html in field labels
Then you can use HTML-Code. Or better:
<f:link.page pageUid="123">Privacy Policy</f:link.page>
1) The solution with the content element is a good thing - that should also be described
2) It's wrong that powermail version 6.0 is needed to disable the IP-storing. This feature is available for years now but 6.0 turns it off by default
3) If you trust your editors or if you already allow your editors to add content elements of type HTML it's really also no problem to allow HTML in powermail field labels for your editors
Maybe I should update the privacy documenation to clearify this points
This solution appears again and again at the top of Google. But the name is edit!
here for the new Powermail Version:
plugin {
tx_powermail {
settings {
misc {
htmlForHtmlFields = 1
htmlForLabels = 1
}
}
}
}
You can set link in checkbox lable or title like,
I accept the privacy terms
in powermail/Resources/Private/Partials/Form/Field/Check.html
Change code
<vh:string.RawAndRemoveXss>{setting.label}</vh:string.RawAndRemoveXss>
to
<f:format.raw>{setting.label}</f:format.raw>

CKEditor automatically strips classes from div

I am using CKEditor as a back end editor on my website. It is driving me round the bend though as it seems to want to change the code to how it sees fit whenever I press the source button. For example if I hit source and create a <div>...
<div class="myclass">some content</div>
It then for no apparent reason strips the class from the <div>, so when I hit source again it has been changed to...
<div>some content</div>
I presume this irritating behaviour can be turned off in the config.js, but I have been digging and cant find anything in documentation to turn it off.
Disabling content filtering
The easiest solution is going to the config.js and setting:
config.allowedContent = true;
(Remember to clear browser's cache). Then CKEditor stops filtering the inputted content at all. However, this will totally disable content filtering which is one of the most important CKEditor features.
Configuring content filtering
You can also configure CKEditor's content filter more precisely to allow only these element, classes, styles and attributes which you need. This solution is much better, because CKEditor will still remove a lot of crappy HTML which browsers produce when copying and pasting content, but it will not strip the content you want.
For example, you can extend the default CKEditor's configuration to accept all div classes:
config.extraAllowedContent = 'div(*)';
Or some Bootstrap stuff:
config.extraAllowedContent = 'div(col-md-*,container-fluid,row)';
Or you can allow description lists with optional dir attributes for dt and dd elements:
config.extraAllowedContent = 'dl; dt dd[dir]';
These were just very basic examples. You can write all kind of rules - requiring attributes, classes or styles, matching only special elements, matching all elements. You can also disallow stuff and totally redefine CKEditor's rules.
Read more about:
Content filtering in CKEditor – why do you need content filter.
Advanced Content Filter – in deep description of the filtering mechanism.
Allowed content rules – how to write allowed content rules.
I found a solution.
This turns off the filtering, it's working, but not a good idea...
config.allowedContent = true;
To play with a content string works fine for id, etc, but not for the class and style attributes, because you have () and {} for class and style filtering.
So my bet is for allowing any class in the editor is:
config.extraAllowedContent = '*(*)';
This allows any class and any inline style.
config.extraAllowedContent = '*(*);*{*}';
To allow only class="asdf1" and class="asdf2" for any tag:
config.extraAllowedContent = '*(asdf1,asdf2)';
(so you have to specify the classnames)
To allow only class="asdf" only for p tag:
config.extraAllowedContent = 'p(asdf)';
To allow id attribute for any tag:
config.extraAllowedContent = '*[id]';
etc etc
To allow style tag (<style type="text/css">...</style>):
config.extraAllowedContent = 'style';
To be a bit more complex:
config.extraAllowedContent = 'span;ul;li;table;td;style;*[id];*(*);*{*}';
Hope it's a better solution...
Edit: this answer is for those who use ckeditor module in drupal.
I found a solution which doesn't require modifying ckeditor js file.
this answer is copied from here. all credits should goes to original author.
Go to "Admin >> Configuration >> CKEditor"; under Profiles, choose your profile (e.g. Full).
Edit that profile, and on "Advanced Options >> Custom JavaScript configuration" add config.allowedContent = true;.
Don't forget to flush the cache under "Performance tab."
Since CKEditor v4.1, you can do this in config.js of CKEditor:
CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) {
config.extraAllowedContent = '*[id](*)'; // remove '[id]', if you don't want IDs for HTML tags
}
You can refer to the official documentation for the detailed syntax of Allowed Content Rules
if you're using ckeditor 4.x you can try
config.allowedContent = true;
if you're using ckeditor 3.x you may be having this issue.
try putting the following line in config.js
config.ignoreEmptyParagraph = false;
This is called ACF(Automatic Content Filter) in ckeditor.It remove all unnessary tag's What we are using in text content.Using this command in your config.js file should be turn off this ACK.
config.allowedContent = true;
Please refer to the official Advanced Content Filter guide and plugin integration tutorial.
You'll find much more than this about this powerful feature. Also see config.extraAllowedContent that seems suitable for your needs.
Following is the complete example for CKEDITOR 4.x :
HTML
<textarea name="post_content" id="post_content" class="form-control"></textarea>
SCRIPT
CKEDITOR.replace('post_content', {
allowedContent:true,
});
The above code will allow all tags in the editor.
For more Detail : CK EDITOR Allowed Content Rules
If you use Drupal AND the module called "WYSIWYG" with the CKEditor library, then the following workaround could be a solution. For me it works like a charm. I use CKEditor 4.4.5 and WYSIWYG 2.2 in Drupal 7.33. I found this workaround here: https://www.drupal.org/node/1956778.
Here it is:
I create a custom module and put the following code in the ".module" file:
<?php
/**
* Implements hook_wysiwyg_editor_settings_alter().
*/
function MYMODULE_wysiwyg_editor_settings_alter(&$settings, $context) {
if ($context['profile']->editor == 'ckeditor') {
$settings['allowedContent'] = TRUE;
}
}
?>
I hope this help other Drupal users.
I found that switching to use full html instead of filtered html (below the editor in the Text Format dropdown box) is what fixed this problem for me. Otherwise the style would disappear.
I would like to add this config.allowedContent = true; needs to be added to the ckeditor.config.js file not the config.js, config.js did nothing for me but adding it to the top area of ckeditor.config.js kept my div classes
Another option if using drupal is simply to add the css style that you want to use. that way it does not strip out the style or class name.
so in my case under the css tab in drupal 7 simply add something like
facebook=span.icon-facebook2
also check that font-styles button is enabled
I face same problem on chrome with ckeditor 4.7.1. Just disable pasteFilter on ckeditor instanceReady.This property disable all filter options of Advance Content Filter(ACF).
CKEDITOR.on('instanceReady', function (ev) {
ev.editor.pasteFilter.disabled = true;
});

Raw HTML in body text after importing content using transmorgrifier

I'm using a transmorgrifier recipe to import some data from drupal into a Plone 4.1 based buildout. The buildout is based on https://github.com/claytron/drupal-plone-transmogrifier, (mostly I updated it to use plone 4.1 instead of 4.0). The import works, I successfully imported data from a drupal site into my plone site. The only issue is that the html tags from the imported html show as the literal tags.
If, after the successful import, I manually go to each item and select 'edit' then click 'save' then the html is interpreted properly, but that would be a lot of editing and saving in order to fix my problem.
see screenshot of freshly imported content with html tags showing.
The blueprint doing the actual import of the field is (I believe) the one shown below:
[text_mimetype]
blueprint = collective.transmogrifier.sections.inserter
key = string:_text_mimetype
value = string:text/html
I experimented with using text/structured instead of text/html in the blueprint but that gave the same result:
What I need is either an additional blueprint that causes the html to be interpreted or a hints on how to ensure that my html gets interpreted at import.
The full list of blueprints used in my pipeline are shown here:
https://github.com/claytron/drupal-plone-transmogrifier/blob/master/src/my.migration/my/migration/config/base.cfg
Ran into the same problem when migrating content using wsapi4plone.core.
Solution: Pin zope.contenttype to version 3.5.5 (the default in the upcoming 4.1.1)
Cause: PLIP #9938 - http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/9938 as per esteele.
If it works under Plone 4.0 but not under Plone 4.1, then I'm guessing it has to do with the "factor custom output transformations out of the editors" PLIP that was merged as a part of the Plone 4.1. I would look into the changes from that PLIP and see how the pipeline needs to be adjusted.
Actually that section only insert a value "text/html" in the key "_text_mimetype"
The real encapsulation is done here:
[mimetype_encapsulator]
data-key = text
mimetype = python:item.get('_%s_mimetype' % key)
# replace the data in-place
field = key
condition = mimetype
more info: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.transmogrifier#mime-encapsulator-section
Anyway i've experimented that it's not strictly mandatory to encapsulate the html text, it works also with a simple string.
