3.9.7. Support for custom tables in the Page module

In the Web > Page module you can have listings of other records than Content Elements and guest book items. If you want your custom table to be listed there you can configure it using the $TYPO3_CONF_VARS["EXTCONF"]['cms'] array. This is a configuration option offered from within the Page module.

In this example the Mininews extension is configured for listing in the Page module. It would look like this (here a single item only is shown):

 

 

The configuration required is as simple as this, put into (ext_)localconf.php:

 

  $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['cms']['db_layout']['addTables']['tx_mininews_news'][0] = array(

      'fList' => 'name;title;email;company,image,title',

      'icon' => TRUE

  );

The "fList" key value is a list of field names separated first by ";" (semi colon) and then by comma. The semicolon separates table columns while the comma allows you to list more than one field to be displayed inside a single column.
