TYPO3: RTE embed / iframe tag

Maarten — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:52:43 +0000

According to Google Analytics a lot of people are currently looking for a way to use embed tags within the (tt_news) RTE. By default the TYPO3 RTE will remove these embed tags, but it’s fairly easy to change this. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to insert an iframe, within the TYPO3 RTE.

Embedding a Vimeo video

Vimeo uses an iframe:

The most obvious way would be: Switch to HTML modus in the RTE, paste the code and save the content element. But as you might have experienced, this way you’ll end up with a nice HTML embed code printed in the frontend. Not so useful…

How to fix this?!
Since Vimeo uses an iframe, we need to make sure the RTE accepts this iframe-tag. So we need to change RTE behaviour when saving the content element or tt_news record. Insert the following TSConfig configuration into the Page TSConfig field:

RTE.default.proc.allowTags := addToList(iframe)
RTE.default.proc.entryHTMLparser_db.allowTags := addToList(iframe)

If you want to insert the iframe outside of a block tag like a P or a DIV, than you’ll need to following as well:

RTE.default.proc.allowTagsOutside := addToList(iframe)

Now the RTE will preserve the iframe when saving. But… still no iframe in the frontend!
The extension css_styled_content doesn’t render an iframe by default, so let’s change this:

In your TypoScript constants add the iframe to the following (default) code:

styles.content.links {
  allowTags  (
         b,i,u,a,img,br,div,center,pre,font,hr,sub,sup,p,strong,
         em,li,ul,ol,blockquote,strike,del,ins,span,h1,h2,h3,h4,
         h5,h6,address,iframe
  )
}

Take a look in the frontend If everything went well you can now see the Vimeo videoplayer.

TYPO3: Hide records from static_info_tables in the rootpage

Maarten — Wed, 05 May 2010 08:50:26 +0000

After you installed static_info_tables in your TYPO3 installtion, you get a whole bunch of records displayed in the rootpage. This really slows down the page, which isn’t funny when you work a lot with usergroups. You can hide all of these records with a simple line in your BE-User-TSConfig.

Insert the following User TSConfig into your own userrecord or in the usergroup to which you belong (i.e. Admins).

mod.web_list.hideTables=static_template, static_countries,
static_country_zones, static_currencies, static_languages,
static_territories, static_taxes, static_markets

IMPORTANT:
I had to use spaces in the code above in order to display it right. DON’T use them in your TSConfig!

TYPO3: Clear all cache for non-admins

Maarten — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 10:44:24 +0000

With this line of User TSConfig you can enable non-be-admin’s to clear all cache the way an admin would.

options.clearCache.all = 1

TYPO3: Always a ‘Save and create new’ button

Maarten — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:04:46 +0000

Some default records and extension records offer a ‘save and create new’ button. Which is very usefull when making a lot of new records in a row. This line makes that button available for every kind of record:

## Always a save and create new button
options.saveDocNew = 1

Place this line in your TSConfig…

TYPO3: Remove javascript warnings in the BE

Maarten — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 07:18:25 +0000

Use the following in your TSConfig to disable warnings in the BE. This can be useful when you’re an experienced user. Just be careful, warning are not there just to anoy you

# This option defines via a bitmask what to enable or disable
# options.alertPopups = 255 (default value)

# These options are possible:
# 1 - typeChange
# 2 - copy/move/paste
# 4 - delete
# 8 - frontend editing
# 128 - other - reserved but not used

# Example: disable warning by typeChange and copy/move/paste
# 255 - 1 -2 = 252
options.alertPopups = 252

TYPO3: The Clipboard

Maarten — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 06:30:18 +0000

The TYPO3 clipboard is a very handy tool but you rarely use all 4 of them. Also, when you logout the content is gone. Both these things can be fixed by a little TSConfig:

## Makes sure the clipboard doesn't clear:
options.saveClipboard = 1

## Reduces the amount of clipboards from 4 to 1:
options.clipboardNumberPads = 1

If ANYONE know how to use copy as default instead of move a comment is highly appreciated!

TYPO3: Create new folders and upload files through the RTE

Maarten — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 09:49:26 +0000

Default settings of the HTMLArea RTE do not allow you to create new folders or upload files to the fileadmin. 2 simple TSConfig lines can enable this.

For your convenience:

## Enable upload field
options.uploadFieldsInTopOfEB = 1  

## Enable folder create
options.createFoldersInEB = 1

Check out the screenshot:

TYPO3: Wider text field in BE

Maarten — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:24:50 +0000

I just found this line in the TSRef.. It’s not perfect but it makes your BE field like setup and constants in list mode wider. Just a small User TSConfig line so why not…

## Makes the BE fields wider
setup.override.edit_wideDocument = 1

See screenshots!

TYPO3: Alternative BE Backgroundcolor

Maarten — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:41:15 +0000

The following Page TSConfig line is usefull if you have a lot of records on a single page.

mod.web_list {
  alternateBgColors = 1
}

Every other line an other color

TYPO3: Disable hide & prepend at copy

Maarten — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 13:13:53 +0000

Personally I hate it when TYPO3 hides my new copied record. TYPO3 also prepends your new copied record with something like ‘copy (1)’. To avoid this you can put this code in your PageTSConfig:

TCEMAIN.table.pages {
  disablePrependAtCopy = 1
  disableHideAtCopy = 1
}

TCEMAIN.table.tt_content {
  disablePrependAtCopy = 1
  disableHideAtCopy = 1
}
