It is intended as a basis to add link and cta functionality to your custom content elements like teasers, text elements. Three fields are being added to table `tt_content`: `tx_cta_link`, `tx_cta_linklabel` and `tx_cta_linkconfig`; `tx_cta_linkconfig` is rendered as a dropdown by default. To add CTA fields to other content elements you can make use of two different palettes: - `linklabel` renders a link field and a corresponding link label field. - `linklabelconfig` adds a third field for additional configuration options per link. Installing ---------- [](#installing) Use composer to add this content element to your project `composer require b13/cta` and install the extension using the Extension Manager in your TYPO3 backend. ### Update from Version < 2 [](#update-from-version--2) We have changed the database fields - link to tx\_cta\_link - linklabel to tx\_cta\_linklabel - linkconfig to tx\_cta\_linkconfig ### Use the example cta element [](#use-the-example-cta-element) If you want to make use of the basic cta element included as an example, add the site set to your site configuration For TYPO3 Version < 13, add the TypoScript setup to your site-Extension setup: `@import 'EXT:cta/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript'` To add the element to the new content element wizard, also include the PageTSConfig in your templates: `@import 'EXT:cta/Configuration/PageTs/PageTs.tsconfig'` This will add the CTA element to the "common" tab (you can change this within your PageTSConfig of course). ### Customizing [](#customizing) To make use of your own Fluid template add your template within your site-Extension using the template name "cta.html". By default, the content element will show four fields: - Layout - Link - Link label - Link configuration To remove fields you don't need, use PageTSConfig within your template configuration, like this: `TCEFORM.tt_content.layout.types.cta.disabled = 1` or better yet, use `columnsOverride` configuration in your TCA. To add options to the dropdown for either one of the dropdown fields, use PageTSConfig like this: `TCEFORM.tt_content.tx_cta_linkconfig.types.cta.addItems.inverted = Inverted Button` or, again, use `columnsOverrides` in your TCA configuration.

Background, Authors & Further Maintenance --------------------------------------------- [](#background-authors--further-maintenance) TYPO3 is highly configurable and it is easy to add custom content types or fields to the system using a few lines of TCA configuration, a simple PageTS configuration to add the type to the list of elements in the New Content Element Wizard, and a few lines of TypoScript and a Fluid Template. This extension adds a content type in the same way we create custom content types for our TYPO3 projects at [b13](https://b13.com). `EXT:cta` was initially created by David Steeb in 2017 for [b13, Stuttgart](https://b13.com). We use this as a basis to add cta fields to `tt_content`, render buttons and cta links, add cta elements to other content types (like adding a call-to-action to a textmedia element) and as a general purpose "read more"-type of link field for teasers, sliders and lots of different content types in general.

As part of the way we work, we focus on testing and best practices to ensure long-term performance, reliability, and results in all our code. ### Health Score 52 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance82 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity31 Limited adoption so far Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
