This extension will only receive bugfixes until regular maintenance for TYPO3 v13 has ended (30 April 2026). There are no official plans to make this extension work with the upcoming TYPO3 v14 version (Please reach out to us, if you want to make it compatible). We highly recommend to [migrate to TYPO3 Content Blocks](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/friendsoftypo3-content-blocks:migrations-mask). At the time of writing Content Blocks has no GUI, but there is a plan to build one.

You can build your own custom content elements in a user-friendly backend module via drag and drop. Your configuration is stored in json files, which can be shared across projects. Mask provides different field types, that you can use to customize your content elements. Depending on the type there are different options available. Field types are grouped roughly into input, repeating and structural fields. With these given tools, you can cover almost all typical requirements for your projects. And if not, Mask can be extended via TCA overrides or DataProcessors. URL**Repository:****Read online:****TER:**TYPO3 v13 Sponsor ----------------- [](#typo3-v13-sponsor) Big thanks to [webconsulting](https://webconsulting.at/) for sponsoring the work on the Mask v9 release for TYPO3 v13! [![webconsulting](Documentation/Images/SponsorsManual/webconsulting.png)](Documentation/Images/SponsorsManual/webconsulting.png) Quickstart 🚀 ------------ [](#quickstart-rocket) 1. Add Mask as a dependency in your `ext_emconf.php` and/or `composer.json` of your sitepackage. 2. Download Mask with composer by running the command `composer require mask/mask` or install via extension manager. 3. Activate Mask in the extension manager (not needed in TYPO3 v11 composer mode). 4. Mask requires `fluid_styled_content` so go to your static includes in the template module and include it there. 5. Also include the Mask static TypoScript. 6. Navigate to the Mask module and enter your sitepackage extension key for auto-configuration (your extension must be loaded!). 7. Start creating your own content elements! Manual configuration ✏️ ----------------------- [](#manual-configuration-pencil2) If you don't want to use the default folder structure created by the auto-configuration, you can adjust every path in the extension configuration of Mask. Advantages of Mask ✅ -------------------- [](#advantages-of-mask-white_check_mark) - Mask stores the content in columns in database tables – not as XML (Flexform) - Mask reuses existing database fields to conserve the database - Mask works only with existing features of the TYPO3 core: backend layouts, Fluid, TypoScript - Silent TCA migrations allow for easy TYPO3 upgrades to new major versions - Mask allows repeating content with IRRE technology - Mask supports multi-language projects - Mask supports workspaces and versioning - The Mask backend is a single page application based on VueJS for even more comfort Read a detailed explanation for each advantage and why to use Mask over other alternatives in the [official documentation](https://docs.typo3.org/p/mask/mask/main/en-us/Introduction/Index.html).
