Glossary: Page TSconfig
Page TSconfig
Page TSconfig in TYPO3 is a configuration layer applied on a page level to control backend behavior. It allows integrators to customize the editorial interface and workflows directly within the page tree.
Use Cases for Page TSconfig
Page TSconfig is typically used to tailor backend behavior, such as:
- Restricting available content elements on specific pages
- Defining default values for fields like metadata or categories
- Configuring backend layouts and modules
- Shaping editorial workflows for different page sections
How Page TSconfig Works
- Configuration is stored in
page.tsconfig
files or directly in page properties. - TYPO3 evaluates Page TSconfig for each page, with inheritance down the page tree.
- Settings apply automatically to all child pages unless overridden.
Advantages
- Flexible customization of the editorial backend
- Clear rules for editors without modifying extensions
- Consistent workflows across entire page trees
- Can be combined with User TSconfig for fine-grained control
Typical Use Case
A website section should only allow “News” content elements. Page TSconfig restricts the available elements so editors can only insert and manage news items in that section.
