Backend layouts¶
Backend layouts were initially introduced in order to customize the view of the Page module in TYPO3 Backend for a page, but has then since grown also in Frontend rendering to select for example Fluid template files via TypoScript for a page, commonly used via data:pagelayout.
A page module with a backend layout that has 3 content areas.
Backend layouts are organized in rows and columns. Content areas can span multiple rows and or columns. They cannot be nested. For nested layouts in the backend use an extension like b13/container .
The page TSconfig for the backend layout above can be found in the site package tutorial: t3sitepackage:backend-page-layouts.
For extended examples have a look at the predefined backend layouts of the bootstrap package (GitHub).
