vendor/bin/typo3 make:content-block --help
Example creating a Content Block skeleton in one line:
vendor/bin/typo3 make:content-block --content-type="content-element" --vendor="my-vendor" --name="my-name" --extension="my_sitepackage"
Alternatively, the command can guide you through the creation by omitting the required options:
vendor/bin/typo3 make:content-block
On non-composer installations use:
typo3/sysext/core/bin/typo3 make:content-block
Example interaction:
Choose the content type of your content block [Content Element]:
[content-element] Content Element
[page-type ] Page Type
[record-type ] Record Type
> content-element
Enter your vendor name:
> my-vendor
Enter your content block name:
> my-content-block-name
Choose an extension in which the content block should be stored:
[sitepackage] Test Package for content blocks
> sitepackage
After running the make command¶
In order to create the newly added database tables or fields, first you have to clear the caches and then run the database compare. You can do the same in the TYPO3 Backend by using the Database Analyzer. Repeat this step every time you add new fields to your Content Block definition.
vendor/bin/typo3 cache:flush -g system
vendor/bin/typo3 extension:setup --extension=my_sitepackage
