Types of pages
==============

TYPO3 has predefined a number of pages types as constants in
:file:`typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Domain/Repository/PageRepository.php`.

What role each page type plays and when to use it is explained in more
detail in :ref:`t3editors:pages-types`. Some of the page types require
additional fields in pages to be filled out:

..  index:: Page types; DOKTYPE_DEFAULT
..  _list-of-page-types-default:

`DOKTYPE_DEFAULT` - ID: `1`
   Standard

..  index:: Page types; DOKTYPE_LINK
..  _list-of-page-types-link:

`DOKTYPE_LINK` - ID: `3`
   Link to External URL

   This type of page creates a redirect to an URL in the frontend.
   The URL is specified in the field `pages.url`.

..  index:: Page types; DOKTYPE_SHORTCUT
..  _list-of-page-types-shortcut:

`DOKTYPE_SHORTCUT` - ID: `4`
   Shortcut

   This type of page creates a redirect to another page in the frontend.
   The shortcut target is specified in the field `pages.shortcut`,
   shortcut mode is stored in `pages.shortcut_mode`.

..  index:: Page types; DOKTYPE_BE_USER_SECTION
..  _list-of-page-types-be-user-section:

`DOKTYPE_BE_USER_SECTION` - ID: `6`
   Backend user Section

..  _list-of-page-types-mountpoint:

`DOKTYPE_MOUNTPOINT` - ID: `7`
   Mount point

   The mounted page is specified in `pages.mount_pid`,
   while display options can be changed with `pages.mount_pid_ol`.
   See :ref:`MountPoints documentation <MountPoints>`.

..  index:: Page types; DOKTYPE_SPACER

.. versionchanged:: 13.0

   The recycler doktype (`DOKTYPE_RECYCLER` - ID: `255`) is removed and cannot be selected or used anymore. Any
   existing recycler pages are migrated to a page of type "Backend User Section"
   which is also not accessible if there is no valid backend user with permission
   to see this page.
