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

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;
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsEventListener;

#[AsEventListener(
    identifier: 'my-extension/backend/modify-wizard-items'
)]
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']
        );
    }
}

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.
