type

type

  enableScrollToElement: true

type

bool

Default

false

Enables Inline Editing: content element and page property edit forms open in a panel next to the page instead of navigating to the backend.

The setting is required on all supported TYPO3 versions — it also gates the New Content Element Wizard used by Column Targets. Only the presentation differs and is chosen automatically: a sidebar panel on TYPO3 v14.2+ (native record_edit_contextual route), a slide-in modal on TYPO3 v13 and v14.0/v14.1.

See Inline Editing for details on how to use this feature.

frontendEdit:
  enableContextualEditing: true

type

bool

Default

false

Allows editors to reorder content elements by dragging them within a column or into another column of the same page. The move is persisted through the core DataHandler.

Requires your Fluid template to mark each column with the ColumnTargetViewHelper ; without those markers no drag handle is rendered. Columns of EXT:container elements are supported when the template passes containerUid. Translated elements and nesting a container inside another container keep the backend move dialog.

See Drag & Drop Reordering for details on how to use this feature.

frontendEdit:
  enableDragAndDrop: true

type

bool

Default

false

Wraps every rendered content element in invisible HTML comment markers, so elements become editable even when their template renders neither a c-id nor a data-frontend-edit attribute.

See Alternative: render markers (experimental) for how the markers work and where they reach their limits.

frontendEdit:
  markerBasedDetection: true

type

bool

Default

true

Show TYPO3 flash messages (e.g., save confirmations) as toast notifications in the frontend after returning from the backend. When you use "Save & Close" in the backend, success or error messages will be displayed as notifications in the frontend.

frontendEdit:
  enableFlashMessages: true
