Methods

addFieldsToAllPalettesOfField() : void: Adds new fields to all palettes that is defined after an existing field.
addFieldsToPalette() : void: Adds new fields to a palette.
addFieldsToUserSettings() : void: Adds a list of new fields to the TYPO3 USER SETTINGS configuration "showitem" list, the array with the new fields itself needs to be added additionally to show up in the user setup, like $GLOBALS['TYPO3_USER_SETTINGS']['columns'] += $tempColumns

addPItoST43() : void: Add PlugIn to the default template rendering (previously called "Static Template #43")
addPlugin() : void: Adds an entry to the list of plugins in content elements of type "Insert plugin" Takes the $itemArray (label, value[,icon]) and adds to the items-array of $GLOBALS['TCA'][tt_content] elements with CType "listtype" (or another field if $type points to another fieldname) If the value (array pos. 1) is already found in that items-array, the entry is substituted, otherwise the input array is added to the bottom.
addRecordType() : void: Convenience method so you don't have to deal with strings and arrays and $GLOBALS[TCA] directly that much.
addService() : void: Adds a service to the global services array
addStaticFile() : void: Call this method to add an entry in the static template list found in sys_templates FOR USE IN Configuration/TCA/Overrides/sys_template.php Use in ext_tables.php may break the frontend.

addTcaSelectItem() : void: Add an item to a select field item list.
addTcaSelectItemGroup() : void: Adds an item group to a TCA select field, allows to add a group so addTcaSelectItem() can add a groupId with a label and its position within other groups.

addFieldsToAllPalettesOfField()

Adds new fields to all palettes that is defined after an existing field.


    public
            static        addFieldsToAllPalettesOfField(string $table, string $field, string $addFields[, string $insertionPosition = '' ]) : void

If the field does not have a following palette yet, it's created automatically and gets called "generatedFor-$field". FOR USE IN files in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/*.php Use in ext_tables.php FILES may break the frontend.

See unit tests for more examples and edge cases.

Example:

'aTable' => array( 'types' => array( 'aType' => array( 'showitem' => 'aField, --palette--;;aPalette', ), ), 'palettes' => array( 'aPalette' => array( 'showitem' => 'fieldB, fieldC', ), ), ),

Calling addFieldsToAllPalettesOfField('aTable', 'aField', 'newA', 'before: fieldC') results in:

'aTable' => array( 'types' => array( 'aType' => array( 'showitem' => 'aField, --palette--;;aPalette', ), ), 'palettes' => array( 'aPalette' => array( 'showitem' => 'fieldB, newA, fieldC', ), ), ),

Parameters

$table : string: Name of the table
$field : string: Name of the field that has the palette to be extended
$addFields : string: Comma-separated list of fields to be added to the palette
$insertionPosition : string = '': Insert fields before (default) or after one

addFieldsToPalette()

Adds new fields to a palette.


    public
            static        addFieldsToPalette(string $table, string $palette, string $addFields[, string $insertionPosition = '' ]) : void

If the palette does not exist yet, it's created automatically. FOR USE IN files in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/*.php Use in ext_tables.php FILES may break the frontend.

Parameters

$table : string: Name of the table
$palette : string: Name of the palette to be extended
$addFields : string: Comma-separated list of fields to be added to the palette
$insertionPosition : string = '': Insert fields before (default) or after one

addFieldsToUserSettings()

Adds a list of new fields to the TYPO3 USER SETTINGS configuration "showitem" list, the array with the new fields itself needs to be added additionally to show up in the user setup, like $GLOBALS['TYPO3_USER_SETTINGS']['columns'] += $tempColumns


    public
            static        addFieldsToUserSettings(string $addFields[, string $insertionPosition = '' ]) : void

Parameters

$insertionPosition : string = '': Insert fields before (default) or after one

addPageTSConfig()

Adds $content to the default page TSconfig as set in $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS'][BE]['defaultPageTSconfig']


    public
            static        addPageTSConfig(string $content) : void

Deprecated

since TYPO3 v13.0, will be removed in TYPO3 v14.0.

Parameters

$content : string

addPiFlexFormValue()

Adds an entry to the "ds" array of the tt_content field "pi_flexform".


    public
            static        addPiFlexFormValue(string $piKeyToMatch, string $value[, string $CTypeToMatch = 'list' ]) : void

This is used by plugins to add a flexform XML reference / content for use when they are selected as plugin or content element. FOR USE IN files in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/*.php Use in ext_tables.php FILES may break the frontend.

Parameters

$piKeyToMatch : string: Plugin key as used in the list_type field. Use the asterisk * to match all list_type values.
$value : string: Either a reference to a flex-form XML file (eg. "FILE:EXT:newloginbox/flexform_ds.xml") or the XML directly.
$CTypeToMatch : string = 'list': Value of tt_content.CType (Content Type) to match. The default is "list" which corresponds to the "Insert Plugin" content element. Use the asterisk * to match all CType values.

addPItoST43()

Add PlugIn to the default template rendering (previously called "Static Template #43")


    public
            static        addPItoST43(string $key[, string $_ = '' ][, string $suffix = '' ][, string $type = 'list_type' ][, bool $cacheable = false ]) : void

Deprecated

since TYPO3 v13.3, will be removed in TYPO3 v14.0.

When adding a frontend plugin you will have to add both an entry to the TCA definition of tt_content table AND to the TypoScript template which must initiate the rendering.

The naming of #43 has historic reason and is rooted inside code which is now put into a TER extension called "statictemplates". Since the static template with uid 43 is the "content.default" and practically always used for rendering the content elements it's very useful to have this function automatically adding the necessary TypoScript for calling your plugin. The logic is now generalized and called "defaultContentRendering", see addTypoScript() as well.

$type determines the type of frontend plugin:

list_type (default) - the good old "Insert plugin" entry
CType - a new content element type
includeLib - just includes the library for manual use somewhere in TypoScript. (Remember that your $type definition should correspond to the column/items array in $GLOBALS['TCA'][tt_content] where you added the selector item for the element! See addPlugin() function) FOR USE IN ext_localconf.php FILES

Parameters

$key : string: The extension key
$_ : string = '': unused since TYPO3 CMS 8
$suffix : string = '': Is used as a suffix of the class name (e.g. "_pi1")
$type : string = 'list_type': See description above
$cacheable : bool = false: If $cached is set as USER content object (cObject) is created - otherwise a USER_INT object is created.

addPlugin()

Adds an entry to the list of plugins in content elements of type "Insert plugin" Takes the $itemArray (label, value[,icon]) and adds to the items-array of $GLOBALS['TCA'][tt_content] elements with CType "listtype" (or another field if $type points to another fieldname) If the value (array pos. 1) is already found in that items-array, the entry is substituted, otherwise the input array is added to the bottom.


    public
            static        addPlugin(array<string|int, mixed>|SelectItem $itemArray[, string|null $type = null ][, string|null $extensionKey = null ]) : void

Use this function to add a frontend plugin to this list of plugin-types - or more generally use this function to add an entry to any selectorbox/radio-button set in the FormEngine

FOR USE IN files in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/*.php Use in ext_tables.php FILES may break the frontend.

Parameters

$itemArray : array<string|int, mixed>|SelectItem: Numerical or assoc array: [0 or 'label'] => Plugin label, [1 or 'value'] => Plugin identifier / plugin key, ideally prefixed with an extension-specific name (e.g. "events2_list"), [2 or 'icon'] => Icon identifier or path to plugin icon, [3 or 'group'] => an optional "group" ID, falls back to "plugins"
$type : string|null = null
$extensionKey : string|null = null: The extension key

addRecordType()

Convenience method so you don't have to deal with strings and arrays and $GLOBALS[TCA] directly that much.


    public
            static        addRecordType(array<string|int, mixed>|SelectItem $item, string $showItemList[, array<string|int, mixed> $additionalTypeInformation = [] ][, string $position = '' ][, string $table = 'tt_content' ]) : void

Adds a new entry to an existing TCA DB table that has a type field configured (via $TCA[$table][ctrl][type]) such as "tt_content" or "pages" tables.

Takes the $item (label, value[, icon] etc.) and adds the item to the items-array of $TCA[$table] of the "type" field. The position in the list can be chosen via the $position argument.

In addition, a type-icon gets registered, and, based on the $item[value], the record type is also added to $TCA[$table]['types'][$newType], where $showItemList is added as 'showitem' key, as well as $additionalTypeInformation such as 'columnsOverride' or 'creationOptions'.

In addition, the $showItemList will receive a 'extended' tab at the very end, so other extensions that add additional fields, will receive this at the extended tab automatically.

Can be used in favor of addPlugin() and addTcaSelectItem().

FOR USE IN files in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/*.php Use in ext_tables.php FILES may break the frontend.

Parameters

$item : array<string|int, mixed>|SelectItem: The item to add to the select field
$showItemList : string: A string containing all fields to be used / displayed in this type
$additionalTypeInformation : array<string|int, mixed> = []: Additional type information to be added to the type in $TCA[$table]['types']
$position : string = '': The position in the list where the new item should be added, something like "after:textpic"
$table : string = 'tt_content': The table name, defaults to 'tt_content'

addService()

Adds a service to the global services array


    public
            static        addService(string $extKey, string $serviceType, string $serviceKey, array<string|int, mixed> $info) : void

Parameters

$extKey : string: Extension key
$serviceType : string: Service type, must not be prefixed "tx_" or "Tx_"
$serviceKey : string: Service key, must be prefixed "tx_", "Tx_" or "user_"
$info : array<string|int, mixed>: Service description array

addStaticFile()

Call this method to add an entry in the static template list found in sys_templates FOR USE IN Configuration/TCA/Overrides/sys_template.php Use in ext_tables.php may break the frontend.


    public
            static        addStaticFile(string $extKey, string $path, string $title) : void

Parameters

$extKey : string: Is of course the extension key
$path : string: Is the path where the template files "constants.typoscript", "setup.typoscript", and "include_static_file.txt" are found (relative to extPath, eg. "Configuration/TypoScript/Static/"). The file "include_static_file.txt", allows including other static templates defined in files, from your static template, and thus corresponds to the field 'include_static_file' in the sys_template table. The syntax for this is a comma separated list of static templates to include, example: EXT:fluid_styled_content/Configuration/TypoScript/,EXT:other_extension/Configuration/TypoScript/
$title : string: Is the title in the selector box.

addTCAcolumns()

Adding fields to an existing table definition in $GLOBALS['TCA'] Adds an array with $GLOBALS['TCA'] column-configuration to the $GLOBALS['TCA']-entry for that table.


    public
            static        addTCAcolumns(string $table, array<string|int, mixed> $columnArray) : void

This function adds the configuration needed for rendering of the field in TCEFORMS - but it does NOT add the field names to the types lists! So to have the fields displayed you must also call fx. addToAllTCAtypes or manually add the fields to the types list. FOR USE IN files in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/*.php . Use in ext_tables.php FILES may break the frontend.

Parameters

$table : string: The table name of a table already present in $GLOBALS['TCA'] with a columns section
$columnArray : array<string|int, mixed>: The array with the additional columns (typical some fields an extension wants to add)

addTcaSelectItem()

Add an item to a select field item list.


    public
            static        addTcaSelectItem(string $table, string $field, array<string|int, mixed>|SelectItem $item[, string $relativeToField = '' ][, string $relativePosition = '' ]) : void

Warning: Do not use this method for radio or check types, especially not with $relativeToField and $relativePosition parameters. This would shift existing database data 'off by one'. FOR USE IN files in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/*.php Use in ext_tables.php FILES may break the frontend.

As an example, this can be used to add an item to tt_content CType select drop-down after the existing 'mailform' field with these parameters:

$table = 'tt_content'
$field = 'CType'
$item = array( 'LLL:EXT:frontend/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_ttc.xlf:CType.I.10', 'login', 'i/imagename.gif', ),
$relativeToField = mailform
$relativePosition = after

$item has an optional fourth parameter for the groupId (string), to attach the new item to. The groupname is defined when a group is added with addTcaSelectItemGroup

Parameters

$table : string: Name of TCA table
$field : string: Name of TCA field
$item : array<string|int, mixed>|SelectItem: New item to add
$relativeToField : string = '': Add item relative to existing field
$relativePosition : string = '': Valid keywords: 'before', 'after'

addTcaSelectItemGroup()

Adds an item group to a TCA select field, allows to add a group so addTcaSelectItem() can add a groupId with a label and its position within other groups.


    public
            static        addTcaSelectItemGroup(string $table, string $field, string $groupId, string $groupLabel[, string|null $position = 'bottom' ]) : void

Parameters

$table : string: the table name in TCA - e.g. tt_content
$field : string: the field name in TCA - e.g. CType
$groupId : string: the unique identifier for a group, where all items from addTcaSelectItem() with a group ID are connected
$groupLabel : string: the label e.g. LLL:EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_tca.xlf:group.mygroupId
$position : string|null = 'bottom': e.g. "before:special", "after:default" (where the part after the colon is an existing groupId) or "top" or "bottom"

addToAllTCAtypes()

Makes fields visible in the TCEforms, adding them to the end of (all) "types"-configurations


    public
            static        addToAllTCAtypes(string $table, string $newFieldsString[, string $typeList = '' ][, string $position = '' ]) : void

Adds a string $string (comma separated list of field names) to all ["types"][xxx]["showitem"] entries for table $table (unless limited by $typeList) This is needed to have new fields shown automatically in the TCEFORMS of a record from $table. Typically this function is called after having added new columns (database fields) with the addTCAcolumns function FOR USE IN files in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/*.php Use in ext_tables.php FILES may break the frontend.

Parameters

$table : string: Table name
$newFieldsString : string: Field list to add.
$typeList : string = '': Comma-separated list of specific types to add the field list to. (If empty, all type entries are affected)
$position : string = '': Insert fields before (default) or after one, or replace a field

addToInsertRecords()

Adds the $table tablename to the list of tables allowed to be includes by content element type "Insert records" By using $content_table and $content_field you can also use the function for other tables.


    public
            static        addToInsertRecords(string $table[, string $content_table = 'tt_content' ][, string $content_field = 'records' ]) : void

FOR USE IN files in Configuration/TCA/Overrides/*.php Use in ext_tables.php FILES may break the frontend.

Parameters

$table : string: Table name to allow for "insert record
$content_table : string = 'tt_content': Table name TO WHICH the $table name is applied. See $content_field as well.
$content_field : string = 'records': Field name in the database $content_table in which $table is allowed to be added as a reference ("Insert Record")

addTypoScript()

Adds $content to the default TypoScript code for either setup or constants as set in $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS'][FE]['defaultTypoScript_*'] (Basically this function can do the same as addTypoScriptSetup and addTypoScriptConstants - just with a little more hazzle, but also with some more options!) FOR USE IN ext_localconf.php FILES Note: As of TYPO3 CMS 6.2, static template #43 (content: default) was replaced with "defaultContentRendering" which makes it possible that a first extension like fluid_styled_content registers a "contentRendering" template (= a template that defines default content rendering TypoScript) by adding itself to $TYPO3_CONF_VARS[FE][contentRenderingTemplates][] = 'myext/Configuration/TypoScript'.


    public
            static        addTypoScript(string $key, string $type, string $content[, int|string $afterStaticUid = 0 ][, bool $includeInSiteSets = true ]) : void

An extension calling addTypoScript('myext', 'setup', $typoScript, 'defaultContentRendering') will add its TypoScript directly after; For now, "43" and "defaultContentRendering" can be used, but "defaultContentRendering" is more descriptive and should be used in the future.

Parameters

$key : string: Is the extension key (informative only).
$type : string: Is either "setup" or "constants" and obviously determines which kind of TypoScript code we are adding.
$content : string: Is the TS content, will be prefixed with a [GLOBAL] line and a comment-header.
$afterStaticUid : int|string = 0: string pointing to the "key" of a static_file template ([reduced extension_key]/[local path]). The points is that the TypoScript you add is included only IF that static template is included (and in that case, right after). So effectively the TypoScript you set can specifically overrule settings from those static templates.
$includeInSiteSets : bool = true

addTypoScriptConstants()

Adds $content to the default TypoScript constants code as set in $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS'][FE]['defaultTypoScript_constants'] NOT prefixed with a [GLOBAL] line, other calls MUST properly close their conditions! FOR USE IN ext_localconf.php FILES
