TYPO3 Core

Hi there,

we would like to see this feature, too.

We like to use page types for landing pages or other special use-cases. Most often these page types come with a certain set of default values needed (e.g. backend layout for langing pages).

I had a bit of time the last couple of days and started on a patch for this. Let's see how this goes. :)

Hi there,

we are using the new content element wizard with presets to have the desired functionality. This way we can define default values for tt_content elements. This even allows for different variations of the same CType having different default values.

I abandoned the pending patch.

The new tt_content_defValues property only applies to tt_content records.

As far as I understand, this feature request goes further. It would be nice if default values could also be set for records like pages, tx_news_domain_model_news or any other record that has more than one type under $GLOBALS['TCA'][<TABLENAME>]['types'].

For example, I currently have the use case that I want to set a default backend_layout value for the custom pages type 200 from EXT:popup_power.

So it would be cool to be able to do something like that:

TCAdefaults.pages.backend_layout.types.200 = pagets__contentOnly
TCAdefaults.pages.backend_layout_next_level.types.200 = pagets__contentOnly

TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout.types.200.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout_next_level.types.200.disabled = 1
