Content Element

With the TCA Override each registered content element gets a new tab called ‘Dataflow’.

This contains the main configuration (constraints) on how to fetch the data of the desired table.

Fields

• Source: Source of your records. Choose a folder or select manually.
• Recursive: Include nested folders.
• Maximum number of elements: Return a fixed amount of items.
• Sort by Field: Select a column to sort by.
• Sort Order: ascending / descending.
• Categories: Show only items in the selected categories.
• Category and/or linking: Choose and / or - operator for the categoryies query.
• Recursive: Include nested folders.

Pagination

To activate automatic pagination see TCA Override first.

With [‘enablePagination’ => true] there is an additional field ‘Items per Page’ in the dataflow tab at the bottom.

It represents the amount of items of each paginated page.

Output (items_pagination)

• itemsPerPage: Items per page.
• index: Current page (starting at 0).
• fullItemCount: Amount of all items cross all pages.
• count: Amount of items on this page.
• prev (array): Link to previous page (or to self if first page).
• next (array): Link to next page (or to self if last page).
• pages (array): List of all pages with links but without items.

Example output of the prepared data for the pagination (itemsPerPage = 2).
