Where do I edit default backend layouts that come with typo3 7.2 official introduction package? there is a table in the db that holds backend layouts but only those that I created, not the default ones. But where do I find the colPos layout for the default templates that already come with the installation? I only want to make slight modification in the html template and I'd like to make the changes editable from the backend.
Backend layouts are defined via PageTS below mod.web_layout.BackendLayouts.<key>. This is not a standard functionality, but a possibility provided by one of the integrated extensions.
The mapping of the backend layout ids to the template files is done in the actual TypoScript template at the path page.10.file.stdWrap.cObject.<key>.value.
For backend layouts created via the database, the key is the numeric id of the backend layout record.

As a beginner with TYPO3 CMS in a new job, I had to make a new extension with differents plugins with a new table called "Products" and make the migration between the old products system and the newest one.
The goal of this was to adding automatically my plugin into the webpages using the code (no other solution, literally too much page to adding my plugin by hand).
I tried adding the reference of my plugin in the list_type field in my tt_content but unfortunately it doesn't work.
My question is: "Which fields I have to fill in in order to adding my plugin into my page?"
If you have been following common plugin registration your plugins will be in tt_content with CType: list and list_type: <extensionkey>_<pluginkey> (without any other underscores - for the linked example that would be exampleextension_list).
Some Background: TYPO3 (or rather TypoScript CONTENT, the base of all rendered content) then draws the rendering configuration from TypoScript setup in tt_content.list.20.<list_type>. In your case that will hold an entry point to render an Extbase action.
Required fields for your plugin in tt_content: pid, colPos, CType, list_type. If you used a Flexform for the plugin settings, also pi_flexform.
If you need something else, it is easiest to find out by adding your plugin via the backend and inspect the newly added DB record in tt_content afterwards.
Hints for debugging (I assume TYPO3 v9+):
Set TYPO3's application context to 'Development' by setting the environment variable TYPO3_CONTEXT=Development - this will show you the tt_content column names in the backend forms.
Set FE/debug = 1 (in LocalConfiguration.php or via InstallTool/Settings/Global Configuration) - this will show warnings in the frontend if your plugin configuration could not be found.
for a complex structure of a domain model (lots of fields and some relations) it´s planned to write an own backend module to be more flexible according to the structure and usability of that module. And there are some dependencies of some fields which I think I cannot make it just via TCA resp. FlexForms. So one thing I hope someone has done that before: If I build an own BE module with extbase and Fluid etc. and have forms with input fields or better textfields:
How can I add an RTE to such a field? Is that possible? I´ve read the TYPO3 Extbase book, but the example there do not contain a RTE.
in case you would like to use the same RTE as TYPO3 it is quite difficult to add all required scripts including the configuration of RTE to a field and I can't help you with that.
But I would like to remember you that in TYPO3 8 LTS the ckeditor becomes the new TYPO3 editor. So you may look forward to directly use it in your backend module or check out the docs of 8 LTS regarding the usage of it on own fields (if any docs exists yet).

I have installed TYPO3 and am working with a HTML template and markers to display content.
There is only one thing i am asking myself:
I have several pages with the same layout but different content and I only want to change parts of these contents.
Do I have to implement a specific template for every page to make this work or is there any other way?
(the red marked content shall be changed only)
I hope you got the point what I want to achieve and can answer my question.
there is a bootstrap introduction package that you can install (look at packages in the extension module)
https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/introduction
based on:
https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/bootstrap_package
there is no need for gridelements or DCE.
when you are a TYPO3 beginner, the introduction package gives you a good start because it stays close tho the TYPO3 'core' way of creating a website.
After you have learned how to create basic templates (with backend layouts & FLUIDTEMPLATES) you can deep into other extension like DCE or gridelements.
You can either create a template for each page or use one template for the whole content and then use some other extensions to create the grid view.
For this job the best extensions are:
dce - dynamic content element dce extensions
-- or --
gridelements gridelements extension
I have a TYPO3 4.7 environment which holds 3 websites.
All theses website use TemplaVoilà template engine.
We are now redesigning one of these site and I wonder if I can use Fluid and Backend Layout instead of TemplaVoilà.
It seems that I have to desactivate TemplaVoilà in the extension manager to be able to use be layout.
Dislaimer: I'm not using TemplaVoilà myself.
The TCA Overrides of EXT:templavoila replace the backend layout fields with the respecting fields of TemplaVoilà, see here.
By reading this code, it should be possible to have both the TemplaVoilà fields and the Backend Layout fields if
"Enable data structure selection" is inactive and
"Enable the classic Page module" is active
in the extension configuration in the Extension Manager.
I'm using Typo3 for the first time and have been asked to update a site built on it.
Making changes to existing templates so far has been OK since they were mainly CSS changes or replacing images. Now though I need to create a couple of new page templates.
What's the easiest way to go about this? The existing site has a home.html and layout.hmlt in the fileadmin directory. Do I need to create a new html file there, if so how do I use this as a new template for some of my pages?
I'm coming from a mainly WordPress background in terms of CMS (I've nearly given in a recoded the site as a WordPress site since I think it would be quicker at this stage) but I'd really prefer to figure this out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out trying to read through the documentation and getting nowhere. The site is using Typo3 version 4.4.6
Thanks!
How you add a new template to your page depends on how templating is handled. Sadly TYPO3 has a poor templating out of the box, so there is most likely an extension that does the job on your site.
Probably one of these:
automaketemplate
templa_voila
flux & fluidpages
Check if one of these extension is installed and add a new page template according to the extensions manual or specify your question afterwards.
Edit:
If plain TYPO3 was used, you'll find something like
page = PAGE
page.10 = TEMPLATE
page.10 {
file = fileadmin/myTemplate.html
}
in your Typoscript. You can add tmplate files like the ones that are already there. To use a different template on a page, you have to replace the page.10.file with the template you want to use. This can be done with a new template record (crated in backend via the template module). But this is a rather anoying procedure to change the template, because you have to create each time you want to change the page template for a page and its children. That is why mostly extensions are used for this.
The out of the box situation gets better with newer TYPO3 versions but in 4.4.6 there are no Backend Layouts that could be uses for a template switch ot something like that.
In Addition to change the mere file you have to adjust the subparts or marker that are filled with the content. You'll find that configured in your TypoScript as well
