Introduction

What does it do?

The goal of this extension is to make any TypoScript object defined in the website's template available as a normal content element. If you have, for instance, configured a menu in your TS template, this extension will allow you to place it on a page, just like a standard text or image element.

Users manual

Installation

The installation of this extension is very simple. Just connect to the Typo3 Extension Repository and download «Content Element From TypoScript» (tscobj), located in the frontend plugin section.

Then, on a page, just create a new content element, and choose «TypoScript» from the wizard.

Usage

Once you have created the plugin, you'll be able to enter to path of the TypoScript object you want to display.

If you click on the little gear on the right of the field, you'll launch a wizard that will show you all the available template objects. You can select one just by clicking on its name.

Note that only the objects which can be rendered are displayed here.

The htmlspecialchars checkbox can be used if you want to see the object HTML code on your page (it won't be interpreted by the browser). This feature can be helpful for developers.

Known problems

None at the time. Just contact me if you find some.

To-Do list
