BeRecordList

This extension provides a "generator" for backend modules which are intended to list one or more types of records., _(*1)

Configuration

Initially, the extension does not do anything besides adding an empty main module entry in the module list., _(*2)

To create a new "record list" you need to add the following configuration to your extension's ext_tables.php:, _(*3)

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['fbit_berecordlist']['modules']['YOUR_EXTKEY'] = [
    'icon' => 'EXT:your_extkey/Resources/Public/Icons/your_module_icon.svg',

                // You may either enter a fieldname and set it to true to simply display its column and value for each
                // record or you can assign an array to the fieldname containing the item
                // "displayProcFunc" => "Classname->methodname" to invoke a user-defined method which transforms the

                // in the record list table column row of the current record. You may use HTML in your transformed

For each EXTKEY you add to $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['fbit_berecordlist']['modules'] you will get a new submodule inside the main module created by this extension., _(*4)
