->ADMPANEL

Configuration of the Admin Panel in the Frontend for the user.

Property

enable

Data type

[object]

Description

Used to enable the various parts of the panel for users.

All values are 0/1 booleans.

General:

.all: enables all modules

Modules:

.preview

.cache

.publish

.edit

.tsdebug

.info

Default

(For admin-users, all = 1 is default! Hardcoded in class)

Property

hide

Data type

boolean

Description

If set, the panel will not be displayed in the bottom of the page. This only has a visual effect.

Property

override

Data type

[object]

Description

Override all admin panel settings:

.[modulename].[propertyname]

Note:

You have to activate a module first by setting

.modulename = 1

Full reference:

To find out the name of a modulename/property, you can have a look at the HTML code of the admin panel and watch the names of the form elements. In this example, the module name is "tsdebug", and the property is called "displayTimes":

name="TSFE_ADMIN_PANEL[tsdebug_displayTimes]"

Most common options

.preview.showHiddenPages (boolean)

.preview.showHiddenRecords (boolean)

.preview.simulateDate (timestamp)

.preview.simulateUserGroup (integer)

.cache.noCache (boolean)

.cache.clearCacheLevels (integer)

.edit.displayFieldIcons (boolean)

.edit.displayIcons (boolean)

.edit.editNoPopup (boolean)

.tsdebug.forceTemplateParsing (boolean)

Property

module.edit

Data type

[object]

Description

Deprecated, use override.* instead (see above)!

.forceDisplayIcons (boolean):

Forces edit-panels to appear regardless of the selectorbox.

.forceDisplayFieldIcons (boolean):

Forces edit-icons to appear regardless of the selectorbox.

.forceNoPopup (boolean):

Forces edit-forms to open in same window - not pop up window.

Example, that forces the display of the edit icons without displaying the admin-panel itself:

admPanel {
   enable.edit = 1
   module.edit.forceDisplayFieldIcons = 1
   hide = 1
}

[beuser:admPanel]

Tip

If you want to link to the login-screen of the backend, but wish that the user should return to the frontend for editing, you do that with this link, sending the "redirect_url" parameter to the login-screen. In that case the backend interface is not started.

<a href="typo3/index.php?redirect_url=../">
   Backend login returning to frontend
</a>
The TYPO3 admin panel

This is what the admin panel looks like. Notice the fact that the visibility of the admin panel is ultimately depending on being configured in your TypoScript template for the website! This is easily done by inserting this string in the TypoScript Template:

config.admPanel = 1

Or if you use frames, this is probably better

page.config.admPanel = 1
