Configuration

Target group: Developers, Integrators

How is the extension configured? Aim to provide simple instructions detailing how the extension is configured. Always assume that the user has no prior experience of using your extension.

Try and provide a typical use case for your extension and detail each of the steps required to get the extension running.

Typical Example

  • Do we need to include a static template?
  • For example add a code snippet with comments

Minimal example of TypoScript:

  • Code-blocks have support for syntax highlighting
  • Use any supported language
plugin.tx_myextension.settings {
   # configure basic email settings
   email {
      subject = Some subject
      from = someemail@domain.de
   }
}

Property details

allWrap

plugin.tx_extensionkey.allWrap = t3tsref:data-type-wrap

Wraps the whole item.

subst_elementUid

plugin.tx_extensionkey.subst_elementUid = t3tsref:data-type-boolean

If set, all appearances of the string {elementUid} in the total element html-code (after wrapped in allWrap) are substituted with the uid number of the menu item. This is useful if you want to insert an identification code in the HTML in order to manipulate properties with JavaScript.

wrapItemAndSub

Wraps the whole item and any submenu concatenated to it.
