Link handler configuration

Link browser tabs are registered in page TSconfig like this:

EXT:examples/Configuration/TsConfig/Page/LinkBrowser/HaikuRecordLinkBrowser.tsconfig

TCEMAIN.linkHandler {
    haiku {
        handler = TYPO3\CMS\Recordlist\LinkHandler\RecordLinkHandler
        label = LLL:EXT:examples/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_browse_links.xlf:haiku
        configuration {
            table = tx_examples_haiku
        }
        displayAfter = url
        scanBefore = page
    }
}

See the complete example: Tutorial: Custom record link browser.

Changed in version 12.0: Due to the integration of EXT:recordlist into EXT:backend the namespace of link handlers has changed from TYPO3\CMS\Recordlist\LinkHandler to TYPO3\CMS\Backend\LinkHandler. For TYPO3 v12 the moved classes are available as an alias under the old namespace to allow extensions to be compatible with TYPO3 v11 and v12.

Possible options are:

handler

The fully-qualified classname of the link handler.

label

The name displayed on the tab button in the link browser.

displayAfter / displayBefore

Can be used to decide the order of the tabs.

scanAfter / scanBefore

The first backend link handler who determines that it can handle the link may edit a link. Most likely your links will start with a specific prefix to identify them.

You should register your tab at least before the url link handler. The url link handler treats all links, that no other handler can treat.

configuration

Some custom configuration, available to the backend link handler.

Record link handler configuration

Record link handlers have the following additional options:

configuration.hidePageTree = 1

Hide the page tree in the link browser

configuration.storagePid = 84

The link browser starts with the given page

configuration.pageTreeMountPoints = 123,456

Only records on these pages and their children will be displayed

Page link handler configuration

configuration.pageIdSelector.enabled

Enable an additional field in the link browser to enter the uid of a page.

Enable the field with the following page TSConfig:

EXT:some_extension/Configuration/page.tsconfig

TCEMAIN.linkHandler.page.configuration.pageIdSelector.enabled = 1
