Add custom elements to TYPO3 as hidden by default?


I have an installation with multiple websites. Each site has a site package with custom fields and content elements that are specific to that site.

But the custom fields and content elements are shown on all sites.

In tt_content.php I add a custom element to the type dropdown. How can I make it hidden, then enable it in ts config for the page tree that it is used for?

\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addTcaSelectItem(
    'tt_content',
    'CType',
    [
        'Banner',
        'my_extension_banner',
        'EXT:core/Resources/Public/Icons/T3Icons/content/content-image.svg'
    ],
    'textmedia',
    'after'
);

Likewise, I have some custom fields added to existing elements. How can I make this field hidden unless specifically enabled by the ts config of the page that it is made for?

\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addFieldsToPalette(
    'tt_content',
    'headers',
    '--linebreak--,my_extension_myfield',
    'after:subheader'
);

Solution

  • After some trial and error, I found that I can remove elements and fields globally by adding this to my ext_localconf.php:

    \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPageTSConfig('
    
        #Remove Custom Content Elements
        TCEFORM.tt_content.CType.removeItems := addToList(my_extension_banner)
    
        #Remove Custom Fields
        TCEFORM.tt_content {
            my_extension_myfield.disabled = 1
        }
    
    ');
    

    Then add them in again with my page specific ts config file PageTSConfig.tsconfig

    #Add Custom Content Elements
    TCEFORM.tt_content.CType.removeItems := removeFromList(my_extension_banner)
    
    #Add Custom Fields
    TCEFORM.tt_content {
        my_extension_myfield.disabled = 0
    }
