elementBrowserEntryPoints¶

elementBrowserEntryPoints ¶

Type: array
Path: $GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['columns'][$field]['config']
Scope: Display

By default, the last folder is used when opening the element browser. Setting this configuration value changes this behaviour.

This configuration value contains an array. For the column type folder only the value with the key _default is used.

When opening the element browser the folder with the _default key is preselected.

Examples¶

Open the element type on a specific folder¶

You can also define an entry point with the _default key:

'folder_group' => [
    'label' => 'Folder field',
    'config' => [
        'type' => 'folder',
        'elementBrowserEntryPoints' => [
            '_default' => '1:/styleguide/'
        ]
    ]
],

It is also possible to use a special TSconfig key:

'folder_group' => [
    'label' => 'Folder field',
    'config' => [
        'type' => 'folder',
        'elementBrowserEntryPoints' => [
            '_default' => '###PAGE_TSCONFIG_ID###'
        ]
    ]
],

This key has then to be defined on field level:

TCEFORM.my_table.folder_group.PAGE_TSCONFIG_ID = 1:/styleguide/subfolder

In case an allowed table has no entry point defined, the _default is used. In case _default is also not set or elementBrowserEntryPoints is not used at all, the previous behaviour applies.
