CTA Button Widget¶

Widgets using this class will show a CTA (=Call to action) button to easily go to a specific page or do a specific action. You can add a button to the widget by defining a button provider.

You can use this kind of widget to link to for example a manual or to an important website that is used a lot by the users.

Example¶

Configuration/Services.yaml:

services:

   dashboard.widget.docGettingStarted:
    class: 'TYPO3\CMS\Dashboard\Widgets\CtaWidget'
    arguments:
      $view: '@dashboard.views.widget'
      $buttonProvider: '@dashboard.buttons.docGettingStarted'
      $options:
        text: 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widgets.documentation.gettingStarted.text'
    tags:
      - name: dashboard.widget
        identifier: 'docGettingStarted'
        groupNames: 'documentation'
        title: 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widgets.documentation.gettingStarted.title'
        description: 'LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widgets.documentation.gettingStarted.description'
        iconIdentifier: 'content-widget-text'
        height: 'small'

Options¶

text¶: Adds an optional text to the widget to give some more background information about what a user can expect when clicking the button. You can either enter a normal string or a translation string e.g. LLL:EXT:dashboard/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:widgets.documentation.gettingStarted.text.

Dependencies¶

$buttonProvider¶

Provides the actual button to show within the widget. This button should be provided by a ButtonProvider that implements the interface ButtonProviderInterface.

See Adding button to Widget for further info and configuration options.

$view¶

Used to render a Fluidtemplate. This should not be changed. The default is to use the pre configured Fluid StandaloneView for EXT:dashboard.

See Using Fluid for further information.
