Miscellaneous settings

Cache DCE frontend plugin

This option activates or deactivates the caching of the DCE in the frontend. Every DCE that should be available in the the frontend must be initialized in the localconf.php with calling the method ExtensionUtility::configurePlugin().

This option takes effect if the showAction of the DceController is cached or non-cached.

Direct output

With this option enabled you bypass fluid_styled_content. Instead of using lib.contentElement, the DCE controller action is used directly. This brings a significant performances boost and removes any wrappings defined by e.g. fluid_styled_content (<div id="c123" ...>).

This option is enabled by default, separately for each DCE.

Note

When DCE container feature is enabled the direct output for this DCE is always enabled.

FlexForm label

Defines the text displayed in the content element:

FlexForm label in the content element

Enable access tab in backend

If this option is activated a tab with the access rights is shown in the backend. Here you can define detailed, when the DCE is to be shown and who is allowed to see the DCE. When this checkbox is enabled, the enabled fields disappear from palette fields automatically, if set.

Enable media tab in backend

This option is only available when EXT:fluid_styled_content is installed. If this option is activated a tab with media (FAL) field is shown in the backend.

You can access {contentObject.assets}` or ``{contentObject.media} variable in Fluid template. It contains an array of \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\FileReference.

Enable categories tab in backend

If this option is activated a tab with category picker is shown in the backend.

You can access {contentObject.categories} variable in Fluid template. It contains an array of \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\Category.

DCE palette fields

This is a list of fields which should be shown in the head area of this DCE in the backend.

The default value is this: sys_language_uid, l18n_parent, colPos, spaceBefore, spaceAfter, section_frame, hidden

Prevent header copy suffix

Caution

This option is disabled for TYPO3 v13 and higher. Empty header field in copied tt_content element, stays empty in copy.

If this checkbox is checked (enabled by default) a copied tt_content record, based on this DCE, will not append "Copy (1)" to record's header. It uses the header contents of the original content record.

Fluid layout and partial root path

Layouts and partials are a part of Fluid templates and are used to avoid redundancies and keep the code cleaner.

Here you can define Fluid templates folders where to find the layouts and the partials.

With TypoScript you can also set up multiple folder paths for layouts and partials with priority order.
