# EXT:doktypemapper - A TYPO3 Extension for mapping doktypes to backend_layouts
## Features
By selecting the `doktype` of a page the value of the field ``backend_layout`` is automatically set. There is no need for editors to select a ``backend_layout``. In fact it is recommended to hide the fields ``backend_layout`` and ``backend_layout_next_level`` from editors.
Find more about how we use this extension at b13, including examples, [in this blog post.](https://b13.com/blog/simplify-your-typo3-page-configuration)
## Installation
Install this extension via `composer req b13/doktypemapper` and activate
the extension in the Extension Manager of your TYPO3 installation.
Once installed, add a new configuration ``doktype`` to your Backend-Layouts.
## Configure your Backend-Layouts
Simply add the new configuration ```doktype``` to your Backend-Layout, e.g.
```
mod.web_layout.BackendLayouts.MyPage.config.backend_layout.doktype = 144
```
This will automatically set the ```backend_layout``` to ``pagets__MyPage`` when a page has doktype ``144``.
### Hide fields from editors
It is recommended to hide the fields ``backend_layout`` and ``backend_layout_next_level`` from page properties (the value is set automatically) using PageTsConfig:
```
TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.pages.backend_layout_next_level.disabled = 1
```
### Note
This extension comes with a default empty backend_layout configuration (see `Configuration/Sets/Doktypemapper/page.tsconfig`) for
TYPO3's default "empty" page types (like Shortcut, External Link, etc.) to ensure valid database entries for every page
type (even the ones without any content).
