IsContentUsedOnPageLayoutEvent

New in version 12.0: This event TYPO3\CMS\Backend\View\Event\IsContentUsedOnPageLayoutEvent serves as a drop-in replacement for the removed $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['cms/layout/class.tx_cms_layout.php']['record_is_used'] hook.

Use the PSR-14 event \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\View\Event\IsContentUsedOnPageLayoutEvent to identify if content has been used in a column that is not in a backend layout.

Example

EXT:my_extension/Classes/Listener/ContentUsedOnPage.php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyVendor\MyExtension\Listener;

use TYPO3\CMS\Backend\View\Event\IsContentUsedOnPageLayoutEvent;
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsEventListener;

#[AsEventListener(
    identifier: 'my-extension/view/content-used-on-page'
)]
final class ContentUsedOnPage
{
    public function __invoke(IsContentUsedOnPageLayoutEvent $event): void
    {
        // Get the current record from the event.
        $record = $event->getRecord();

        // This code will be your domain logic to indicate if content
        // should be hidden in the page module.
        if ((int)($record['colPos'] ?? 0) === 999
            && !empty($record['tx_myext_content_parent'])
        ) {
            // Flag the current element as not used. Set it to true, if you
            // want to flag it as used and hide it from the page module.
            $event->setUsed(false);
        }
    }
}

New in version 13.0: The PHP attribute \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsEventListener has been introduced to tag a PHP class as an event listener. Alternatively, or if you need to be compatible with older TYPO3 versions, you can also register an event listener via the Configuration/Services.yaml file. Switch to an older version of this page for an example or have a look at the section Implementing an event listener in your extension.
