TCAdefaults set for CTypes like TCEFORM
0%
Description
Dear TYPO3-Team,
thanks for your great work. I have two improvements as a feature request for TCAdefaults:
1. As in TCEFORM it would be great to specify a CType
TCAdefaults.tt_content.layout = 1 TCAdefaults.tt_content.types.image.layout= 2
This sets the default layout for images different to the other CTypes. This way would be a very consistent way to configure.
2. Set TCAdefaults even for fields that are disabled
Sometimes you would like to set e.g. different layouts via page ts but do not want the editor to change it. Att he moment TCAdefaults are only work, if the field is accessable for the editor. Maybe you could change that?
Have a good day

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
in addition to the already working
TCEFORM TSconfig:TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout.types.200.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout_next_level.types.200.disabled = 1
