EXT:teasermenu, a TYPO3 CMS Extension

initially for TYPO3 7.6 LTS

There are situations, where you want to build your own "teaser menu", where menu items are added doubled or you build some fancy menu, which has also some custom spacer items e.g. with different background images (just to make menu nicer).

This example extension provides a custom Content Element tt_content.teasermenu where the TYPO3 backend editor can easily add menu items directly in the content plugin (via IRRE). All menu items are saved as tx_teasermenu_domain_model_teaseritem records on the page where the content element is placed.

Menu item types

Two types are added initially (Default, Spacer). You can add additional types easily via TCA/Overrides functionality or simply via PageTSConfig in your extension/sitepackage/theme (howsoever you call).

Layout field for type "Spacer"

Removing and adding additional items is also possible via a FormDataProvider or simply via PageTSConfig in your extension/sitepackage/theme (howsoever you call):

TCEFORM.tx_teasermenu_domain_model_teaseritem {
    layout {
        // remove existing items
        removeItems := addToList()
        addItems {
            // add item with value "10" (it must be an integer!)
            10 = Gray
        }
    }
}
