Changing the field configuration¶

At the extension level¶

The configuration of any field can be changed at the extension level by TypoScript. The syntax is the following:

plugin.tx_yourExtensionNameWithoutUnderscores_pi1.formName.viewType.fields[.tableName].fieldName.fieldProperty = propertyValue

For example, assume that one wants to change the width and the height of the image in the “list” view in the example 1.

• The “tx_yourExtensionNameWithoutUnderscores_pi1” is “tx_savlibraryexample1_pi1”,
• the “formName” is “Contact”,
• the “viewType” is “listView” (use “singleView”, “editView” for the other types),
• the “tableName” is the table in which the field “fieldName” is. It can be omitted if the field is in the main table.
• the “fieldName” is “image”,
• the “fieldProperty” is “width” or “height”.

It leads to the following configuration:

plugin.tx_savlibraryexample1_pi1.Contact.listView.fields.image.width = 200
plugin.tx_savlibraryexample1_pi1.Contact.listView.fields.image.height = 200

Note: do not forget to add “_pi1” to the extension name.

At the page level¶

The configuration of any field can be changed at the extension level by means of the page TS Config. The syntax is the following:

tx_yourExtensionNameWithoutUnderscores.formName.viewType.fields[.tableName].fieldName.fieldProperty = propertyValue

Using the same example as above, it leads to:

tx_savlibraryexample1.Contact.listView.fields.image.width = 200
tx_savlibraryexample1.Contact.listView.fields.image.height = 200

Note: do not add “_pi1” to the extension name.
