options ¶

additionalPreviewLanguages ¶

Datatype

list of sys_language ids

Description

The user will see these additional languages when localizing stuff in TCEforms. The list are uid numbers of sys_language records.

alertPopups ¶

Datatype

bitmask

Description

Configure which Javascript popup alerts have to be displayed and which not:

1 – onTypeChange

2 – copy / move / paste

4 – delete

8 – FE editing

128 – other (not used yet)

Default

bookmarkGroups ¶

Datatype

Array of integers/ strings

Description

Set groups of bookmarks that can be accessed by the user. This affects the bookmarks toolbar item in the top right of the backend.

By default, 5 default groups will be defined globally (shared, can only be set by admins) and also for each user (personal bookmarks):

1. Pages
2. Records
3. Files
4. Tools
5. Miscellaneous

Set 0 to disable one of these group IDs, 1 to enable it (this is the default) or “string” to change the label accordingly.

Example

bookmarkGroups {
    1 = 1
    2 = My Group
    3 = 0
    4 =
}

Bookmark group 1 is loaded with the default label (Pages), group 2 is loaded and labeled as “My Group” and groups 3 and 4 are disabled. Group 5 has not been set, so it will be displayed by default, just like group 1.

clearCache.all ¶

Datatype

boolean

Description

This will allow a non-admin user to clear frontend and page-related caches, plus some backend-related caches (that is everything including templates); if it is explicitly set to 0 for an admin user, it will remove the clear all option on toolbar for that user.

Default

0

clearCache.pages ¶

Datatype

boolean

Description

If set to 1, this will allow a non-admin user to clear frontend and page-related caches.

Default

0

clipboardNumberPads ¶

Datatype

integer (0-20)

Description

This allows you to enter how many pads you want on the clipboard.

Default

3

contextMenu disableItems ¶

Datatype

list of items

Description

List of context menu (“clickmenu”) items to disable.

The full path of this property is: contextMenu.table.[tableName][.context].disableItems

The “[tableName]” refers to the type of the record (database table name) the context menu is shown for e.g. “pages”, “sys_file”, “tt_content”, etc.

Optional key “[.context]” refers to the place from which the context menu is triggered. The core uses just one context called tree for context menus triggered from page tree and folder tree. This way you can disable certain options for one context, but keep them for another.

Items to disable for “page” type are: view , edit , new , info , copy , copyRelease , cut , cutRelease , pasteAfter , pasteInto , newWizard , openListModule , mountAsTreeRoot , enable , disable , delete , history , clearCache

Items to disable for “sys_file” type (that is files/folders) are: edit , rename , upload , new , info , copy , copyRelease , cut , cutRelease , pasteInto , delete

When the system extension Import/Export (impexp) is installed then two more options become available: exportT3d and importT3d

Note

Context menu rendering was refactored in v8.6, so when migrating from v7 some of the settings need to be tuned. See chapter in the TYPO3 API documentation regarding new context menu implementation.

Example

options.contextMenu.table.pages.disableItems = new,newWizard

options.contextMenu.table.pages.tree.disableItems = new,newWizard

# This will remove the "more" item in the Pagetree context menu and all its subelements:
options.contextMenu.table.pages.tree.disableItems = newWizard, openListModule, mountAsTreeRoot, exportT3d, importT3d

createFoldersInEB ¶

Datatype

boolean

Description

If set, a createFolders option appears in the element browser (for admin-users this is always enabled).

defaultUploadFolder ¶

Datatype

string

Description

When a user uploads files they are stored in the default upload folder of the first file storage that user may access. The folder is used for uploads in the TCEforms fields. In general, this will be fileadmin/user_upload .

With this property it is possible to set a specific upload folder.

The syntax is “storage_uid:file_path”.

Example

options.defaultUploadFolder = 2:user_folders/my_folder/

disableDelete ¶

Datatype

boolean

Description

Disables the “Delete” button in TCEFORMs.

Note it is possible to set this for single tables using options.disableDelete.[tableName] . Any value set for a single table will override the default value set for “disableDelete”.

dontMountAdminMounts ¶

Datatype

boolean

Description

This options prevents the root to be mounted for an admin user.

Note

enableBookmarks ¶

Datatype

boolean

Description

Default

1

feedit ¶

file_list ¶

folderTree ¶

hideModules.[moduleGroup] ¶

Datatype

list of module groups or modules

Description

Configure which module groups or modules should be hidden from the main menu.

It is not an access restriction but makes defined modules invisible. That means in principle those modules can still be accessed if the rights allow.

A list of all available module groups and modules can be found in in the backend module SYSTEM -> Configuration -> $GLOBALS[‘TBE_MODULES’] (BE Modules)

Example

# Hide module groups "file" and "help"
options.hideModules = file, help

# Hide module "func" and "info" from the "web" group
options.hideModules.web := addToList(func,info)

# Hide module BELogLog from "system" group
options.hideModules.system = BelogLog

hideRecords.pages ¶

Datatype

list of page ids

Description

This hides records in the backend user interface. It is not an access restriction but makes defined records invisible. That means in principle those records can still be edited if the user rights allow. This makes sense if only a specialized module should be used to edit those otherwise hidden records.

This option is currently implemented for the pages table only and has an effect in the following places:

• Page tree navigation frame
• Web > List module
• New record wizard

Example

options.hideRecords.pages = 12,45

impexp.enableImportForNonAdminUser ¶

Datatype

boolean

Description

The import/export module of EXT:impext is disabled by default for non-admin users. Enable this option, if non-admin users need to use the module. This should only be enabled for trustworthy backend users, as it might impose a security risk.

Default

0

lockToIP ¶

Datatype

string

Description

Comma separated list of IP-numbers with wildcards.

Note

This option is only enabled if the $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['enabledBeUserIPLock'] configuration is true.

Example

# Allow all from 192.168-network
options.lockToIP = 192.168.*.*

# Allow all from 192.168-network plus all from REMOTE_ADDR 212.22.33.44
options.lockToIP = 192.168.\*.\*, 212.22.33.44

# Same as the previous. Leaving out parts of the IP address is the same as wild cards.
options.lockToIP = 192.168, 212.22.33.44

Example

# Enable TemplaVoila page module as default page module.
options.overridePageModule = web_txtemplavoilaM1

Note it is possible to set this for single tables using options.saveDocNew.[tableName] . Any value set for a single table will override the default value set for “saveDocNew”.

Default

1

Example

In this example the button is disabled for all tables, except tt_content where it will appear, and in addition create the records in the top of the page (default is after instead of top).

options.saveDocNew = 0

Datatype

list of sys_language ids

Example

options.view.languageOrder = 2,1
