TYPO3 Core

Description

there are several issues concerning the page module (classic)

• CE's are not well separated
• the view is crowded with ungrouped icons
• there is too much info visible
• edit links are not consistent, some texts are not linked
• crop of text preview is hardcoded to 1500
• Headers are not consistent with list view
• CSH icon is at wrong position
• CSH of big buttons has wrong position
• quickedit has wrong order of funtion menus
• not unique width of columns looks bad
• difficult to get a visual focus, users are irretated

i tried to handle all issues in my patch, some screenshots are added

Beside the visual changes i did there are 3 new configuration params for usage in pageTS

var $showLanguageLabelInCE = false; // If set true, label for language will be shown in CE header
var $previewTextCropLength = 150; // sets length of preview text of CEs
var $columnWidth = 200; // fix width for columns

This has to be documented.

Usage (pageTS):

mod.web_layout { # this brings back the language labels in CE
showLanguageLabelInCE = 1 # sets preview text length
previewTextCropLength = 500 # sets fixed width for columns. For auto-width set it to 0
columnWidth = 280
}
