The content elements
This chapter describes the default set of content elements provided by TYPO3's Core. It will show you a description and screenshots of the backend fields.
General fields
These are fields which are used by (almost) every content element.
Header
Almost every content element can contain a header, which consists of the following parts:
- Header
- The text of the header
- Type
- The type of heading (heading 1, heading 2, heading 3 ... or if the header is hidden). When not choosing an option, the default heading will be used, which can be configured at Constant Editor.
- Date
- Have the possibility to group the header with a date
- Link
- Link wrapping the header text. This can be a TYPO3 CMS page, an external page, an email address or a link to a file.
The header fields can be found in the General tab of a content element.
Append with Link to Top of Page
When checked, this will render a link below the content element to bring the visitor the top of the page. This will be very convenient for your visitors when having long pages.
Access
These fields define if and when a visitor has access to this content element. The access fields all reside in the Access tab:
- Visibility of content element
- By checking this option the content element will not be visible to any visitor.
- Publish Date
- The date on which the content has to be published, which means making visible at a certain date.
- Expiration Date
- The date on which the content will be expired, which means the content will be hidden on a certain date
- Usergroup Access Rights
- Here you can select whether the content element only is available to a certain frontend user group, if it has to be visible only when the visitor is logged in or if it has to be hidden at a login.
