How to rename subheader in TYPO3 CMS backend - typo3

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">');

Add a static template to my typo3 extension

I have created an extension with sitepackagebuilder.com and the idea is just to write some static html.
I know that when you have a controller you can call the templates by following the convention names. But what if you don't have a controller? What I need, at least for now, is just to install the extension, add the plugin into a page and get some static content in that page.
I can imagine that this is set in a typoscript file but I'm quite noob with all the typoscript thing.
I'm getting this error:
'No Content Object definition found at TypoScript object path "tt_content.list.20.heboorganigram_organigram"'
Until I define that object in my typoscript file. I have tried this.
tt_content.list.20.heboorganigram_organigram = PAGE
tt_content.list.20.heboorganigram_organigram.10 = TEMPLATE //(or FLUIDTEMPLATE same result)
tt_content.list.20.heboorganigram_organigram.10.template = FILE
tt_content.list.20.heboorganigram_organigram.10.template.file = fileadmin/Organigram.html
And then I don't get an error but I also don't get the content from my Organigram.html, this is just trying stuffs, I actually don't know if this is what I need to do.
Before creating new Content Elements you first have to create the Page Template, for that have a look at the sitepackage tutorial https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-sitepackage/master/en-us/FluidTemplates/Index.html
If you already got the page template, have a look at https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/master/en-us/ApiOverview/ContentElements/AddingYourOwnContentElements.html
Provided you already did the steps above, for getting the frontend output you are interested in the step Configure the frontend rendering
So the TypoScript should look something like this:
lib.contentElement {
templateRootPaths.200 = EXT:heboorganigram/Resources/Private/Templates/
}
tt_content {
examples_newcontentelement =< lib.contentElement
examples_newcontentelement {
templateName = NewContentElement
}
}
Then you need to place your Organigram.html file in the Templates Folder in inside the sitepackage.

No default link classes in typo3 8 anymore?

In V7 all internal/external/download links got an additional class by default, like 'internal-link' or 'download'.
Looks like in V8 with the new CKEditor this feature is gone.
Is there a way to reimplement it via typoScript or some kind of yaml RTE config?
An automatic solution, not the solution where the user have to pick a custom style, thats our current workaround.
If these classes should be applied automatically to specific link types without enabling the editors to change those classes, you should go for TypoScript parseFunc:
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Functions/Parsefunc.html?highlight=parsefunc
Especially makeLinks, tags and typolink should be useful here:
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Functions/Makelinks.html#makelinks
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Functions/Tags.html#tags
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Functions/Typolink.html#atagparams
For example you would assign a specific class to an external http link automatically created by makelink like this:
parseFunc {
makelinks = 1
makelinks {
http {
keep = path
extTarget = _blank
ATagParams = class="external-link"
}
}
}

TYPO3 8, Form extension - best practice for custom yaml files

When generating forms with the form module the corresponding yaml files get stored in fileadmin/user_upload.
Now I want to integrate those yaml files into my sitepackage and thus into my CVS. Where is the correct place for them? In the example extension they are stored in Resources/... while I would think they have to go into Configuration/Yaml
And how do I configure the form extension to search them in that place?
While it's basically a matter of taste where exactly one saves his form definitions, I try to separate form configuration and form definitions.
From the official documentation:
[...] the form configuration allows you to define:
which form elements, finishers, and validators are available,
how those objects are pre-configured,
how those objects will be displayed within the frontend and backend.
In contrast, the form definition describes the specific form,
including
all form elements and their corresponding validators,
the order of the form elements within the form, and
the finishers which are fired as soon as the form has been submitted.
Furthermore, it defines the concrete values of each property of the mentioned aspects.
So, for more clarity I save all form configuration in a sitepackage under Configuration/Yaml/ and the form definitions under Resources/Private/Forms, neighbouring the templates.
I wrote a full tutorial how to use custom templates with EXT:form, which also includes the answers to your question.
In short:
Register YAML configuration with TypoScript in your extension root folder as ext_typoscript_setup.txt (as recommended1)
plugin.tx_form.settings.yamlConfigurations {
100 = EXT:my_extension/Configuration/Yaml/CustomFormSetup.yaml
}
module.tx_form.settings.yamlConfigurations {
100 = EXT:my_extension/Configuration/Yaml/CustomFormSetup.yaml
}
CustomFormSetup.yaml – setting up a new storage path
TYPO3:
CMS:
Form:
persistenceManager:
allowedExtensionPaths:
10: EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Forms/
allowSaveToExtensionPaths: true
allowDeleteFromExtensionPaths: true
1TypoScript inside an ext_typoscript_setup.txt is automatically loaded in both frontend and backend of your TYPO3 installation directly after installing your extension. This differs from other TypoScript files, which have to be included manually, e.g. as static templates. See official Form Framework documentation.
I'd suggest Resources/Private/Forms for your form definitions. The form extension clarifies how to register additional form definition paths.

How to get the Log In Form on every page? (for example in footer) Typo3

Is there a way to get the Log In Form for Frontend User on every page? I would prefer the footer.
And if someone is logged in you can see the Log Out Button.
Is this possible without an extension?
You can copy the default felogin output to wherever you want on your template. For example use lib.login, copy the plugin.tx_felogin_pi1 into it, change the template and you're fine.
lib.login < plugin.tx_felogin_pi1
lib.login.templateFile = path/to/your/template/file
More you can see in the official documentation: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/felogin/8.7/Configuration/Index.html
In general there are three options to include a CE (e.g. the Login-form) on all pages:
use typoscript to generate the CE. Normally the CEs are defined in tt_content, from where you could copy the base configuration and adapt it. For some plugins you also find a complete configuration beyond lib (for newer extensions there you only find the settings). All the configuration must be done in typoscript.
use typoscript to render the content of a special page/ column. In this variant you have a special page only for content referenced somewhere else. Advantage: you could configure the CE in the usual way. Try to avoid referencing CEs by uid as an editor might disable or delete the current element(s) and insert a new one which would not be rendered.
use a special column in your root page and inherit the content to all subpages. Advantage: you could change the inherited content easily on each page (if this column is available in the current backend layout).
example for 3:
variables {
footer_content < styles.content.get
footer_content.select.where = colPos = 15
footer_content.slide = -1
}

TYPO3: re-define altLabels in TCEFORM for layout with multisite

I use EXT:T3sBootstrap and define comprehensible voices for the layouts the editors may select ... this works fine with the following code:
ext_localconf.php :
# Set TCEFORM features
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPageTSConfig('<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source="FILE:EXT:myExt/Configuration/PageTSConfig/TCEForm.ts">');
Configuration/PageTSConfig/TCEForm.ts :
TCEFORM {
tt_content {
layout {
addItems {
4 = special box
100 = extra
}
altLabels {
0 = Default
1 = image shadow
2 = line shadow
3 = line shadow inv
}
disableNoMatchingValueElement = 1
}
}
}
in my second site I want to be able to re-define these labels with comprehensible voices but, although the static template of the first site is not included, it takes this configuration and does not use the one I just defined in the new myExt ...
(Page) TSconfig is loaded independent from the TypoScript static templates. The way you currently load the TSconfig into TYPO3, it will be used for all websites in this TYPO3 instance. So, the TSconfig from your second site is simply overwritten by your first configuration shown above.
Since TYPO3 v7, you can use registerPageTSConfigFile to add TSconfig settings as needed into your different page trees and websites:
your_extension/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/pages.php
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::registerPageTSConfigFile(
'your_extension',
'Configuration/PageTSConfig/TCEForm.ts',
'My TCEform config including custom altLabels'
);
This enables you to select the TSconfig in the page properties, where it will apply for all subpages.
You can find a working example here.
