Context Indicator
=================

[](#context-indicator)

This lightweight extension makes the application context more prominent in the backend.

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

When using a TYPO3 CMS project in different environments, it's sometimes hard to keep track of in which environment's backend one is currently editing data.

This extension adds a thin, colored border to the topbar and the current application context to the site name.

The color depends on the application context, so that you always know in which environment you're working in.

### Development

[](#development)

The default border color for development environments is `var(--bs-success)` (green).

### Testing

[](#testing)

The default border color for testing environments is `var(--bs-info)` (blue).

### Production

[](#production)

The default border color for production environments is `var(--bs-danger)` (red).

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Since the environment has a system wide scope, configuration is done using `ext_conf_template.txt`.
Therefore, all options can be modified programmatically or managed in the backend using TYPO3's Settings module.

### Basic

[](#basic)

Configure the behaviour of the site name's modification and disable the indication for production environments.

### Color

[](#color)

Configure the colors for the environments. Any valid CSS color value works.
