Page Types¶

Folder: ContentBlocks/PageTypes.

Page Types are a special Content Type in TYPO3. The basic structure is already defined in the TYPO3 Core. Content Blocks only adds new types to it. A minimal Page Type looks like this:

EXT:your_extension/ContentBlocks/PageType/blog/EditorInterface.yaml

name: example/blog
typeName: 1701284006
fields:
  - identifier: additional_field
    type: Text

This will create a new Page Type entry above the page tree, which you can drag and drop as usual. Your custom fields will be added after the nav_title field. SEO fields will be automatically added, if you have the SEO system extension installed.

Options¶

Here you can find all common root options.

typeName ¶

Required: true
Type: integer

The typeName has to be a numerical value. There are some reserved numbers, which you can't use either: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 199, 254, 255.

typeName: 1701284021

Tip

We recommend to use the current unix timestamp fo your type name. This is almost guaranteed unique. The kickstart command will default to the current timestamp as well.
