If editors frequently work with show / hide dates for pages and content elements, there is an increasing number of outdated, hidden content in the Backend.
For housekeeping, it would be nice to have an extension that lists such not-displayed content, maybe also hidden items.
Is there something?
I'm not aware that there is any extension for this purpose. But you can use the list module for something similar.
Place any kind of content on your "root" page. In the list module, you now see the table "Page Content". Click on the header cell to get only "Page Content" records. In the bottom of the list module, in the search part, perform a search "4 levels down" with an empty string.
You then have all contents from the root page 4 levels down. In the field selector, select the "hidden" field. In the table, click the table head "Hide" twice to have all hidden elements on top.
Then you can bookmark this view. Not exactly what you wanted, but it gives you some kind of overview.
In theory it should be possible for admins with the "DB check -> Full search" tool. See my answer for question typo3: what is the fast way to find which page has certain extension
However, I found out there is a bug which prevents it from working as it's supposed to in TYPO3 4.5.x. I'll update this answer once the bug is fixed.

I have a typo3 server and using the mask extension. When an editor creates a new mask element, there isnt a title in the list view. Its always "no title":
I checked the database and found the titles in the db in the field: tt_content.header but no way to set them automatically oder manually by an editor. Anyone have an idea how the title can be set automatically? Oder manually by an editor?
ext:mask has the option to reuse existing fields of tt_content for new kinds of content elements (CEs). use it to get the bonus of better interoperability with TYPO3.
TYPO3 has a logic how to show records (content elements) in the backend. one of it is the usage of the fields header and description. if you reuse these fields your CEs will look like others automatically.
If you use other fields you need to declare your fields for usage AND in case you change the kind of a CE from your kind to e.g. TEXT with Media the header stays.
Especially header is handled in the layout/partial of FSC or CSC global for any kind of CE. if the handling/rendering is changed (e.g. special layout) in an installation your CEs need special effort if they have their own building of the header.
Try to use the same fields as existing CEs and your life can be easier.
I'm having the same issue, but I found a way around it for the meantime. I edit the mask element and chenge its type to something elseโlike Textโwhere I can set the title. After typing the title I save it, then change back to mask element and save again. This works by me without losing the content of the mask element. This way I can see the title in typo3 backend when I view as list or page or add content from another page. As I said, it doesn't solve the problem, but can help until there is a proper solution.
EDIT
I've just found another solution. You can add the title field to en existing mask element. To do it, go to ADMIN TOOLS > Mask, click your mask element to edit it. Add a new item by dragging the ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด item (the one on top of the list of available items) to the right where your items are. Then in General under ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฑ dropdown choose an ๐๐
๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด named:
๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ: (๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ)
Save, close, go to your page to add your title. This still doesn't add the title field automatically to all mask elements, but it is a step forward.
If anywhere, you should be able to set a static title automatically in your page tsconfig. You could to something like
mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.elements.[title of your mask element].tt_content_defValues {
header = My Awesome title
}
Personally, I usually give every mask element a header field and ask content editors to fill it in.

Hope, this helps.
I want to use the News system extension from Georg Ringer like this:
Multiple News Details & Lists All on one page
the Detail view on top of the "cards" of the List view should show the Detail of the item clicked on
The behavior seems like to allow multiple list but only 1 detail view
Detail View of "Services"
List View of "Services"
------ other stuff
Detail View of "Projects"
List View of "Projects"
------ other stuff
Detail View of "Sectors"
List View of "Sectors"
Has anyone experience with this?
I would change the list view to handle the first news entry with much more information. In Fluid you have access to all needed fields for displaying it like in detail view.
Then, you only need three list views on the page with your special template. No need for a detail view.
In general it's possible what you desire but you've to adjust the detail-view in the plugins statically to a special detail or you always will only be able to display one detail at a moment, no matter which category because news is like probably all TYPO3-extensions not programmed with the ability to transfer parameters for several plugins on a page at once.
Many years ago when extensions still have been programmed fundamentally different I had some similar desires related to other extensions and programmed something which transferred the parameters always related to each plugin on a page, so it was possible to regulate several plugins of the same type on a page separated. Today it will be harder probably to implement something like that.
What you can do is to look in the manual about the AJAX-posibilities of news. There might be still an option to fetch the detail for each of the categories separated, perhaps even on page-load already, but it will be a nifty setup which takes probably some time.
I'm able to create a DropDown ContentControl in word such that a user can select an item from the drop down and that item becomes the text displayed in the ContentControl. However I've noticed that when you create a citation that drop down list contains command items that can launch dialogs. Is there any way to replicate this behaviour but with custom content controls that launch custom dialogs.
Apparently this is impossible as mentioned in the link below because:
This isn't a "standard" content control. This is something Word puts around a Citation field (and around Date fields and some other kinds). But the functionality is Word-internal and proprietary. It's not something that's exposed in the API. IOW, you can't do that, I'm afraid...

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 using ALIAS and \xrefitem to gather a specific list of comments into a separate page for reference. This is working fine, however, each of these specific pages appear in the top level treeview. For other page/subpage hierarchies I've built a MarkDown index page that shows in the top level, and then references the others, thus keeping my treeview neat. I've done the same for the xrefitem pages, and the index page works fine, but the xrefitem pages still appear in the top level treeview.
Is there any way I can stop this, to keep my treeview clean?
Cheers
Paul
Try this in a markdown file (or work it into your existing mainpage):
Scratch {#mainpage}
