TYPO3 Extension content_defender
Define allowed or denied content element types in your backend layouts
Installation
Simply install the extension with Composer or the Extension Manager.
Usage
- You only need to adjust the column configuration of your backend_layout
Restrict certain content element fields
- To allow a limited set of values for content element fields use
allowed.field = [list of comma separated values]
Examples:
columns {
1 {
name = Column with header and textmedia elements
colPos = 3
colspan = 6
allowed {
CType = header, textmedia
}
}
}
columns {
1 {
name = Column with News plugin only
colPos = 3
colspan = 6
allowed {
CType = list
list_type = news_pi1
}
}
}
Combine multiple content element fields
- The example allows multiple content element types (text and list) while restricting plugin types to
newsonly.
Example:
columns {
1 {
name = A column with restricted list_type and "normal" CType
colPos = 3
colspan = 6
allowed {
CType = textmedia, list
list_type = news_pi1
}
}
}
Deny certain content element types
- To remove a set of values from content element fields use
disallowed.field = [list of comma separated values]
Examples:
columns {
1 {
name = Column without divider, plain html and table elements
colPos = 3
colspan = 6
disallowed {
CType = div, html, table
}
}
}
columns {
1 {
name = Column with header and list, without News plugin
colPos = 3
colspan = 6
allowed {
CType = header, list
}
disallowed {
list_type = news_pi1
}
}
}
Limit the number of content elements
- To restrict the number of content elements use
maxitems = [number of elements]
Example:
columns {
1 {
name = Column with one textmedia
colPos = 3
colspan = 6
allowed {
CType = textmedia
}
maxitems = 1
}
}
