text (belayoutwizard)¶
Table of contents:
This page describes the text type with renderType='belayoutwizard'.
The renderType = 'belayoutwizard'
is a special renderType to display the backend layout
wizard when editing records of table backend_layout
in the backend. It stored a custom
syntax representing the Web -> Page layout in the database.
Example¶

Backend layout editor (config)¶
'config' => [
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:frontend/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_tca.xlf:backend_layout.config',
'config' => [
'type' => 'text',
'renderType' => 'belayoutwizard',
]
],
Properties¶
default¶
- Datatype
integer / string
- Scope
Display / Proc.
- Description
Default value set if a new record is created.
fieldInformation¶
- Datatype
array
- Scope
Display
- Description
Show information between an element label and the main element input area. Configuration works identical to the "fieldWizard" property, no default configuration in the core exists (yet). In contrast to "fieldWizard", HTML returned by fieldInformation is limited, see FormEngine docs for more details.
fieldWizard¶
- Datatype
array
- Scope
Display
- Description
Specifies wizards rendered below the main input area of an element. Single type / renderType elements can register default wizards which are merged with this property.
As example, type='check' comes with this default wizards configuration:
protected $defaultFieldWizard = [ 'localizationStateSelector' => [ 'renderType' => 'localizationStateSelector', ], 'otherLanguageContent' => [ 'renderType' => 'otherLanguageContent', 'after' => [ 'localizationStateSelector' ], ], 'defaultLanguageDifferences' => [ 'renderType' => 'defaultLanguageDifferences', 'after' => [ 'otherLanguageContent', ], ], ];
This is be merged with the configuration from TCA, if there is any. Below example disables the default
localizationStateSelector
wizard.'aField' => [ 'config' => [ 'fieldWizard' => [ 'localizationStateSelector' => [ 'disabled' => true, ], ], ], ],
It is possible to add own wizards by adding them to the TCA of the according field and pointing to a registered renderType, to resort wizards by overriding the
before
andafter
keys, to hand over additional options in the optionaloptions
array to specific wizards, and to disable single wizards using thedisabled
key. Developers should have a look at the FormEngine docs for details.
