Usage
Note
All plugin dialogs automatically adapt to the TYPO3 backend's dark mode setting. No manual configuration is required — the theme is detected automatically from the backend's color scheme preference.
AI Text Generator
The AI Text Generator lets you create and iteratively refine content through a conversational interface.
Generating content
- Place your cursor in a CKEditor field where you want to insert content.
- Click the AI Text toolbar button (sparkle icon).
- In the dialog, type a prompt describing the content you need, e.g. "Write an introduction about sustainable urban planning".
- Press Enter or click the send button.
- The generated HTML content appears in the preview area.
Tip
Be specific in your prompts. Instead of "Write about sustainability", try "Write a 200-word introduction about sustainable urban planning for a municipal website, targeting city council members".
Refining content
After the initial generation, you can refine the result with follow-up instructions:
- Type a follow-up instruction in the input field, e.g. "make it shorter", "more formal", or "add a call to action".
- The AI retains the full conversation context and adjusts the content accordingly.
- Repeat until you're satisfied with the result.
Note
The conversation history is maintained for the entire dialog session. Each refinement builds on the previous result. Closing the dialog resets the conversation.
Inserting into the editor
- Click Insert into Editor to insert the final content at the cursor
- position in CKEditor.
The dialog closes automatically and focus returns to the editor.
Keyboard shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Send prompt / generate text |
| Shift + Enter | New line in the prompt input |
| Escape | Close the dialog |
Token tracking
The dialog displays cumulative input and output token counts at the bottom right corner. This helps editors monitor API usage during a session.
Hint
Token counts reset when the dialog is closed and reopened. They track cumulative usage across all prompts within a single dialog session.
AI Translate
The AI Translate plugin translates the entire editor content into a selected target language while preserving all HTML structure and formatting.
Translating content
- Ensure the CKEditor field contains the content you want to translate.
- Click the AI Translate toolbar button (globe icon).
-
Select the target language from the language grid:
- Deutsch
- English (US)
- English (UK)
- Español
- Français
- Italiano
- Türkçe
- The translation starts immediately. A loading indicator shows the progress.
- On success, the editor content is replaced with the translated version.
Note
The dialog closes automatically after a successful translation. The original content is replaced entirely — use Ctrl+Z (undo) in the editor if you need to revert.
Warning
AI Translate requires content in the editor. If the editor is empty, an error message is shown.
Lorem Ipsum
The Lorem Ipsum plugin inserts placeholder text for layout prototyping.
- Place the cursor where you want the text inserted.
- Click the Lorem Ipsum toolbar button (text lines icon).
- In the dialog, select the number of paragraphs to insert (1–20, default 3).
- Click Insert or press Enter.
Tip
The Lorem Ipsum plugin is especially handy during development and layout
work. You can remove it from the toolbar in production by omitting
loremIpsum from your RTE preset's toolbar items.
