1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

Extends the standard TYPO3 content elements with HTML based content elements.

See podcast “extensions: Special Content Elements” (13.11.2006) for a demonstration.

Features:

  1. every element is based on an HTML-template

  2. different templates for normal view and print-view can be specified

  3. every element has its own directory in fileadmin/ and can therefore be exported and imported from one project to another

  4. BE Module for administrating the elements

  5. activate elements per column  and page-tree

  6. multilanguage support

  7. switch from one element-layout to a different one without loosing data

Technical features:

  1. uses existing fields of tt_content table

  2. configuration is made with the TCA-Array (RTE etc....)

  3. control caching on element level or directly per element-ID

  4. full typoscript control for every element (ext_typoscript_setup.txt in directory)

  5. overrule element-TS settings with TS from your main TS-Template

  6. IRRE compatible
