Example: Add a new element to the "common" group

EXT:site_package/Configuration/page.tsconfig

mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.common.elements.header {
    iconIdentifier = content-header
    title = Header
    description = Adds a header element only
    tt_content_defValues {
        CType = header
    }
}
mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.common.show := addToList(header)

Example: Create a new group and add an element to it

EXT:site_package/Configuration/page.tsconfig

# Create a new group and add a (pre-filled) element to it
mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.myGroup {
    header = LLL:EXT:cms/layout/locallang.xlf:advancedFunctions
    elements.customText {
        iconIdentifier = content-text
        title = Introductory text for national startpage
        description = Use this element for all national startpages
        tt_content_defValues {
            CType = text
            bodytext (
                    <h2>Section Header</h2>
                    <p class="bodytext">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur, sadipisci velit ...</p>
            )
            header = Section Header
            header_layout = 100
        }
    }
}
mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.myGroup.show = customText

With the second example, the bottom of the new content element wizard shows:

Added entry in the new content element wizard

newRecord.order

newRecord.order

Type: list of values

Define an alternate order for the groups of records in the new records wizard. Pages and content elements will always be on top, but the order of other record groups can be changed.

Records are grouped by extension keys, plus the special key "system" for records provided by the TYPO3 Core.

Example: Place the tt_news group at the top of the new record dialog

Place the tt_news group at the top (after pages and content elements), other groups follow unchanged:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/page.tsconfig

mod.wizards.newRecord.order = tt_news

The position of News changed after modifying the New record screen

newRecord.pages

newRecord.pages

Type: boolean

Use the following sub-properties to show or hide the specified links. Setting any of these properties to 0 will hide the corresponding link, but setting to 1 will leave it visible.

show.pageAfter: Show or hide the link to create new pages after the selected page.
show.pageInside: Show or hide the link to create new pages inside the selected page.
show.pageSelectPosition: Show or hide the link to create new pages at a selected position.

Example: Hide the "Page (inside)" link in the "New Record" dialog

EXT:site_package/Configuration/page.tsconfig

mod.wizards.newRecord.pages.show {
    # Hide the "Page (inside)" link.
    pageInside = 0
}
