PageContentPreviewRenderingEvent

New in version 12.0: This event has been introduced which serves as a drop-in replacement for the removed $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['cms/layout/class.tx_cms_layout.php']['tt_content_drawItem'] hook.

Use the PSR-14 event \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\View\Event\PageContentPreviewRenderingEvent to ship an alternative rendering for a specific content type or to manipulate the record data of a content element.

Example

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

EXT:my_extension/Configuration/Services.yaml

MyVendor\MyExtension\Backend\EventListener\MyEventListener:
  tags:
    - name: event.listener
      identifier: 'my-extension/preview-rendering-example-ctype'

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\View\Event\PageContentPreviewRenderingEvent;

final class MyEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(PageContentPreviewRenderingEvent $event): void
    {
        if ($event->getTable() !== 'tt_content') {
            return;
        }

        if ($event->getRecord()['CType'] === 'example_ctype') {
            $event->setPreviewContent('<div>...</div>');
        }
    }
}
