Attention

TYPO3 v8 has reached its end-of-life March 31st, 2020 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

For backwards compatibility, defining only a folder name but without a storage Uid and colon prepended is still supported as well. Folders without a storage Uid prepended are assumed to be located in the default storage, which by default is the fileadmin/ folder. If a folder you specify does not exist it will not get mounted. Effective in workspaces too.

The alternative filemounts are added to the existing filemounts.

Example

options.folderTree.altElementBrowserMountPoints = _temp_/, 2:/templates, 1:/files/images

contextMenu.table.[tableName][.context].disableItems

Property

contextMenu.table.[tableName][.context].disableItems

Data type

(list of items)

Description

List of context menu ("clickmenu") items to disable.

The "[tableName]" refers to the type of the record (database table name) the context menu is shown for e.g. "pages", "sys_file", "tt_content", etc.

Optional key "[.context]" refers to the place from which the context menu is triggered. The core uses just one context called "tree" for context menus triggered from page tree and folder tree. This way you can disable certain options for one context, but keep them for the other.

Items to disable for "page" type are:

view, edit, new, info, copy, copyRelease, cut, cutRelease, pasteAfter, pasteInto, newWizard, openListModule, mountAsTreeRoot, enable, disable, delete, history, clearCache

Items to disable for "sys_file" type (that is files/folders) are:

edit, rename, upload, new, info, copy, copyRelease, cut, cutRelease, pasteInto, delete

Example:

options.contextMenu.table.pages.disableItems = new,newWizard

options.contextMenu.table.pages.tree.disableItems = new,newWizard

Note

Context menu rendering was refactored in v8.6, so when migrating from v7 some of the settings needs to be tuned. See chapter in the TYPO3 API documentation regarding new context menu implementation.

overridePageModule

Property

overridePageModule

Data type

string

Description

By this value you can substitute the default "Web > Page" module key ("web_layout") with another backend module key.

This will enable TemplaVoila page module as default page module.

Property

hideModules.[module group]

Data type

(list of module groups or modules)

Description

Configure which module groups or modules should be hidden from the main menu.

It is not an access restriction but makes defined modules invisible. That means in principle those modules can still be accessed if the rights allow.

Note

A list of all available module groups and modules can be found in in the backend module SYSTEM -> Configuration -> $GLOBALS['TBE_MODULES'] (BE Modules)

Example:

# Hide module groups "file" + "help"
options.hideModules = file, help

# Hide module "func" and "info" from the "web" group
options.hideModules.web := addToList(func,info)

# Hide module BELogLog from "system" group
options.hideModules.system = BelogLog

Property

defaultFileUploads

Data type

integer

Description

hideRecords.pages

Property

hideRecords.pages

Data type

(list of page ids)

Description

This hides records in the backend user interface. It is not an access restriction but makes defined records invisible. That means in principle those records can still be edited if the user rights allow. This makes sense if only a specialized module should be used to edit those otherwise hidden records.

This option is currently implemented for the pages table only and has an effect in the following places:

- Page tree navigation frame

- Web > List module

- New record wizard

Example:

options.hideRecords.pages = 12,45

Property

view.languageOrder

(list of sys_language ids)

Description
