TYPO3: Before field in CE limited to 50px?
Today I ran into something strange. Did you know the ‘before’ field in a content element was limited to just 50px?
I was in a hurry so I adjusted the default header layout, but so far I haven’t found a solution…
BTW: The adjustment was easy, just take an unused layout and change it to your needs:
lib.stdheader.10.5 = COA
lib.stdheader.10.5 {
10 < lib.stdheader.10.1
10.fontTag = <h1 style="margin-top:300px;">|</h1>
}

Silly request here, can you point out a sample of the before field in use? I don’t think I’ve ever used that.
Also for the code above, isn’t there a need to add header option 10 to the backend via TSConfig as well?
Here’s the example of a before field: Click
About the code: I’m not quite sure what you mean? I just put it in a typoscript template on the same page I needed it.
Lol, I just ran into this too. I haven’t found a way yet to override this. In this case I chose to use a HTML CE – this customer will understand ;-)
Having more whitespace than 50px is a crime though ;-)
