EXT:doktypemapper - A TYPO3 Extension for mapping doktypes to backend\_layouts
==============================================================================

[](#extdoktypemapper---a-typo3-extension-for-mapping-doktypes-to-backend_layouts)

Features
--------

[](#features)

By selecting the `doktype` of a page the value of the field `backend_layout` is automatically set. There is no need for editors to select a `backend_layout`. In fact it is recommended to hide the fields `backend_layout` and `backend_layout_next_level` from editors.

Find more about how we use this extension at b13, including examples, [in this blog post.](https://b13.com/blog/simplify-your-typo3-page-configuration)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install this extension via `composer req b13/doktypemapper` and activate the extension in the Extension Manager of your TYPO3 installation.

Once installed, add a new configuration `doktype` to your Backend-Layouts.

Configure your Backend-Layouts
------------------------------

[](#configure-your-backend-layouts)

Simply add the new configuration `doktype` to your Backend-Layout, e.g.

```
mod.web_layout.BackendLayouts.MyPage.config.backend_layout.doktype = 144

```

This will automatically set the `backend_layout` to `pagets__MyPage` when a page has doktype `144`.

### Hide fields from editors

[](#hide-fields-from-editors)

It is recommended to hide the fields `backend_layout` and `backend_layout_next_level` from page properties (the value is set automatically) using PageTsConfig:

```
TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout_next_level.disabled = 1

```

### Note

[](#note)

This extension comes with a default empty backend\_layout configuration (see `Configuration/Sets/Doktypemapper/page.tsconfig`) for TYPO3's default "empty" page types (like Shortcut, External Link, etc.) to ensure valid database entries for every page type (even the ones without any content).
