Backend Configuration

Modules

Backend modules can be configured via TypoScript. The settings can be inspected using the TypoScript Object Browser in the Backend. Note: The TypoScript for modules is loaded from the files ext_typoscript_setup.txt and ext_typoscript_constants.txt. The display in TypoScript Object Browse might differ from the settings actually presented to the module. (I.e. changes in a template record might be ineffective)

Storage Pages

The Events and Schedules modules do not show a page tree. The storage pages must be set via TypoScript.

Constants

module {
  tx_t3events {
    persistence {
      storagePid = 1
    }
  }
}

Setup

module {
  tx_t3events {
    persistence {
      storagePid = {$module.tx_t3events.persistence.storagePid}
    }
  }
}

Template Paths

Templates, partials and layouts can be extended by configuring additional paths

module.tx_t3events {
  persistence {
     storagePid = {$module.tx_t3events.persistence.storagePid}
  }

  view {
    templateRootPaths {
      20 = /path/to/additional/template/folder
    }
    
    partialRootPaths {
      20 = /path/to/additional/partial/folder
    }
    
    layoutRootPaths {
      20 = /path/to/additional/layout/folder
    }
  }
}

Resources

Require Js

The TYPO3 Backend uses requireJs in order to load JavaScript modules. Event modules allow to include custom libraries and modules

Register namespace and folder

module.tx_t3events {
  view {
    pageRenderer {
      requireJs {
        nameOfBarLibrary {
            path = /path/to/other/folder
        }    
      }
    }
  }
}

Registers the namespace nameOfBarLibrary. Any file ending in .js in this file can be required by its name: For instance a file baz.min.js would be required like:

    define (['nameOfBarLibrary/baz.min'], function (x) {
     x.myAwsomeCode();
 });

Register namespace and require module(s)

module.tx_t3events {
  view {
    pageRenderer {
      requireJs {
        nameOfFooLibrary {
            path = /path/to/custom/folder
            modules {
              0 = fancyStuffIWrote
            }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Registers the namespace nameOfFooLibrary and requires the module fancyStuffIwrote.
