ModifyNewContentElementWizardItemsEvent¶

New in version 12.0

This event serves as a more powerful and flexible alternative for the removed hook $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['cms']['db_new_content_el']['wizardItemsHook'].

The PSR-14 event \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\Event\ModifyNewContentElementWizardItemsEvent is called after TYPO3 has already prepared the wizard items, defined in page TSconfig (mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems).

The event allows listeners to modify any available wizard item as well as adding new ones. It is therefore possible for the listeners to, for example, change the configuration, the position or to remove existing items altogether.

Example¶

Registration of the event listener in the extension's Services.yaml:

EXT:my_extension/Configuration/Services.yaml

services:
  # Place here the default dependency injection configuration

  MyVendor\MyExtension\Backend\EventListener\MyEventListener:
    tags:
      - name: event.listener
        identifier: 'my-extension/backend/modify-wizard-items'

Read how to configure dependency injection in extensions.

The corresponding event listener class:

EXT:my_extension/Classes/Backend/EventListener/MyEventListener.php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyVendor\MyExtension\Backend\EventListener;

use TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\Event\ModifyNewContentElementWizardItemsEvent;

final class MyEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(ModifyNewContentElementWizardItemsEvent $event): void
    {
        // Add a new wizard item after "textpic"
        $event->setWizardItem(
            'my_element',
            [
                'iconIdentifier' => 'icon-my-element',
                'title' => 'My element',
                'description' => 'My element description',
                'tt_content_defValues' => [
                    'CType' => 'my_element',
                ],
            ],
            ['after' => 'common_textpic'],
        );
    }
}
