ModifyPageLayoutContentEvent

New in version 12.0.

The PSR-14 event \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\Event\ModifyPageLayoutContentEvent allows to modify page module content.

This event features the methods getRequest(), getModuleTemplate() and additional getters and setters for the header and footer content.

It is possible to add additional content, overwrite existing content or reorder the content.

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

#[AsEventListener(
    identifier: 'my-extension/backend/modify-page-module-content'
)]
final class MyEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(ModifyPageLayoutContentEvent $event): void
    {
        $event->addHeaderContent('Additional header content');

        $event->setFooterContent('Overwrite footer content');
    }
}

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.

History / Migration

The event TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\Event\ModifyPageLayoutContentEvent has been introduced to serve as a more powerful and flexible alternative for the removed hooks $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['cms/layout/db_layout.php']['drawHeaderHook'] and $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['cms/layout/db_layout.php']['drawFooterHook'].

In contrast to the removed hooks, this event does not provide the PageLayoutController as $parentObject, since getModuleTemplate() has been the only public method, which is now directly included in the event.

An example to get the current $id:

EXT:my_extension/Classes/Backend/EventListener/MyEventListener.php
public function __invoke(ModifyPageLayoutContentEvent $event): void
{
    $id = (int)($event->getRequest()->getQueryParams()['id'] ?? 0);
}
