Introduction
The $GLOBALS['PAGE_TYPES'] array
Global array $GLOBALS
defines the various types of pages (field: doktype
) the
system can handle and what restrictions may apply to them. Here you can define which tables are
allowed on a certain page type.
Note
The "default" entry in the $GLOBALS
array is the "base"
for all types, and for every type the entries overrides the
entries in the "default" type!!
This is the default array as set in EXT:
:
$GLOBALS['PAGES_TYPES'] = [
(string)\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Domain\Repository\PageRepository::DOKTYPE_BE_USER_SECTION => [
'allowedTables' => '*'
],
(string)\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Domain\Repository\PageRepository::DOKTYPE_SYSFOLDER => [
// Doktype 254 is a 'Folder' - a general purpose storage folder for whatever you like.
// In CMS context it's NOT a viewable page. Can contain any element.
'allowedTables' => '*'
],
(string)\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Domain\Repository\PageRepository::DOKTYPE_RECYCLER => [
// Doktype 255 is a recycle-bin.
'allowedTables' => '*'
],
'default' => [
'allowedTables' => 'pages,sys_category,sys_file_reference,sys_file_collection',
'onlyAllowedTables' => false
],
];
The key used in the array above is the value that will be stored in the
doktype
field of the "pages" table.
Tip
As for other $GLOBALS
values, you can view current settings in the
backend in System > Configuration (with installed lowlevel
system extension).
Note
In TYPO3 versions below 10.4, the doktype
was restricted to numbers
smaller than 200 if the custom page type should be displayed in the
frontend, and larger than 200 when it is just some storage. This limitation
no longer exists, so you can choose a number at will.
Each array has the following options available:
Key |
Description |
---|---|
type |
Can be "sys" or "web". This is purely informative, as TYPO3 does nothing with that piece of data. |
allowedTables |
The tables that may reside on pages with that "doktype". Comma-separated list of tables allowed on this page doktype. "*" = all. |
onlyAllowedTables |
Boolean. If set to true, changing the page type will be blocked if the chosen page type contains records that it would not allow. |
Note
The options allowed
and only
must be set
for the default type while the rest can choose as they like.
