Add Doktypes¶

With the ConfigurationUtility you can add Doktypes the easy way

The best place for the following example is a ext_tables.php file.

// for easier usage just define the id of your new doktype as a constant
define('TX_YOURPLUGIN_PRODUCT', 60);
define('TX_YOURPLUGIN_NEWSARTICLE', 61);

// add a divider to the doktype select box
\FORM4\Form4Pages\Utility\ConfigurationUtility::addDoktypeSelectorDivider(
    'LLL:EXT:' . $_EXTKEY . '/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xml:pages.yourplugin.divider'
);

// next follows just the add of the doktype
// the method needs 3 parameters: doktype id, label and icon file path
\FORM4\Form4Pages\Utility\ConfigurationUtility::addDoktype(
     TX_YOURPLUGIN_PRODUCT,
    'LLL:EXT:' . $_EXTKEY . '/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xml:pages.doktype.product',
    'EXT:' . $_EXTKEY . '/Resources/Public/Icons/product.png'
);
\FORM4\Form4Pages\Utility\ConfigurationUtility::addDoktype(
     TX_YOURPLUGIN_NEWSARTICLE,
    'LLL:EXT:' . $_EXTKEY . '/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xml:pages.doktype.newsarticle',
    'EXT:' . $_EXTKEY . '/Resources/Public/Icons/newsarticle.png'
);

ConfigurationUtility::addDoktype() accepts two more (optional) parameters.

/**
 * Registers a new doktype.
 *
 * @param integer $key Doktype key
 * @param string $label Label used in backend
 * @param string $icon Icon used in backend
 * @param integer $copyTcaType TCA type configuration that is copied for the new doktype
 * @param boolean $noOverlay Do not add the doktype to pages_language_overlay
 * @return void
 */
public static function addDoktype($key, $label, $icon, $copyTcaType = 1, $noOverlay = FALSE)
