Dynamic Content Elements (Dce) Typo3

Hello sir, I am Shashi Kapoor. I am from Chandigarh. I want you to help me by providing me some information about the Dynamic Content elements (DCE) typo3. Can you give me some details about it?

DCE is an extension for the CMS TYPO3, which creates easily and fast dynamic content elements.
It is an alternative to flexible content elements (FCE) but without need of TemplaVoila (TV). It is based on Extbase and Fluid.

The Idea Behind DCE

D ynamic C ontent E lements (DCE)


Content Elements in TYPO3

TYPO3 has just a few basic content elements (CE). Layout or section frame attributes can be abused for new CE, but this is not easy to use for editors. Also the abuse of RTE fields (using tables, etc.) has too much flexibility for editors.

DCE Features
Fields and tabs

Create as many fields as required
Separate multiple fields with tabs (better overview)
Name and configure them like you want

Schema loading

Special handling for group, select and inline fields
Convert comma separated lists of uids to ready to use arrays
Uses extbase models (instead of associated arrays, if requested table has one configured)

Sections

Uses TemplaVoila implementation in TYPO3 core
Create as many groups of fields as you want

Detail pages

Use different templates for single DCE instances
Controlled by $_GET parameters

Easy templating (using Fluid)

All output of DCE (in FE and BE) runs with Fluid Templating Engine
Even cached localconf- and ext_tables php files uses Fluid
Fluid gives you all flexibility you need for laying out content elements

Backend preview templates

Define tt_content header and bodytext attribute for each DCE individually. Of course, using Fluid

DCE user conditions

Check if the current page contains a specified DCE
Add CSS and JS only on pages where you need it
Modify any TypoScript configuration you want

Comfortable import/export

Quick import and export of DCEs and DCE fields
Uses ImpExp extension in TYPO3 core
DCE instances (tt_content) have relation to DCE
When importing DCE and DCE instances, the uid of DCE will be automatically updated if uid is already assigned on target system
