TypoScript configuration of modules
The backend module of an extension can be configured via TypoScript.
The configuration is done
in
module. or
in
module..
If the part
_<lowercasepluginname> is omitted, then the setting is used
for all backend modules of that extension.
Even in the backend the TypoScript setup is used. The settings should be done globally and not changed on a per-page basis. Therefore they are usually set in the file EXT:my_extension/ext_typoscript_setup.typoscript.
See the toplevel object "module" in the TypoScript reference for the available options.
