Attention
TYPO3 v7 has reached its end-of-life November 30th, 2018 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.
There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.
->SETUP¶
Default values and overriding values for the "User tools > User settings" module.
Note
The "User tools > User settings" module only represents a subset of the options from the table below.
Default values are set by 'setup.default' while overriding values are set by 'setup.override'. Overriding values will be impossible for the user to change himself and no matter what the current value is, the overriding value will overrule it. The default values are used for new users or if the setup is re-initialized.
Note
If you have first set a value (by override e.g.) and then remove that value from being set, the value is not restored to the original default but is kept at the current value! Therefore setting a value and later removing that value would require the users preferences to be reset (you can do that from the Install Tool > Database Analyser > Reset user preferences) OR better, don't remove the value, just change the value of it! (e.g. to a blank string if you wish to "reset" the value).
This table shows the keys for both defaults and override values:

This is an old property. Rather look at startModule below instead, as it provides more flexibility.

startModule
Data type

Description

Property
noMenuMode
Data type
boolean / string
Description
If set, the backend will not load the left menu frame but rather put a selector-box menu in the top frame. This saves a lot of space on small screens. Also icons will not be displayed in the clickmenu panel in the top.
Value "icons":
Setting noMenuMode to "icons" will still remove the menu, but instead of the selector box menu you will have the whole clickmenu panel as a menu with the icons only as the hidden state of the clickmenu panel. This is extremely nice (in my opinion) for experienced users who know the icons of the modules.
Property
hideSubmoduleIcons

boolean
Description
If set then submodule icons will not be shown in the left menu of the backend.
Property
dontShowPalettesOnFocusInAB

[beuser:setup.default/setup.override]
Do not use any other properties than the ones listed in the table above.
On top of being able to set default values or override them as described above, it is also possible to hide fields in the module "User tools > User Settings".
The table below describes the related option:
Property
<field name>.disabled
Data type
boolean
Description
This setting hides the option with the name <field name> in the module User Settings.
You can find the names of the fields in the Module "Configuration". Just browse through the "User Settings" array.
Example:
setup.fields.emailMeAtLogin.disabled = 1
With this example, we hide the "E-mail me when I login" checkbox.
You can also combine setup.fields.<field name>.disabled and setup.override.<field name>.
Example:
setup.fields.emailMeAtLogin.disabled = 1
setup.override.emailMeAtLogin = 1
Now the "Email me when I login" field is removed, but the user will still receive an email when he logs in.
Default
0
[beuser:setup.fields]
