TYPO3 Extension ENHANCED BACKEND

What is it?

The Enhanced Backend Extension improves the user experience (UI/UX) in the TYPO3 backend, provides customization options for editors and enhances the look and feel of TYPO3 so that it represents a modern and intuitive eCMS.

It includes these features:

• Content tree for quick editing content element of a page
• Many UI/UX optimizations you can choose individually
• Three customization presets in user settings, e.g. TYPO3-a-like or a complete new modern backend
• Possibility to combine features as many optimizations as you want

Usages

Enhanced backend comes as a TYPO3 extension for the TYPO3 backend. It appears as new tab "enhanced backend" in user settings. All settings are user specific.

• Install extension via composer
• Login to your TYPO3 backend
• Switch to your personal user settings at the right top corner (profile image)
• A new tab enhanced backend is available
• Choose a preset to quickly activate a collection of helpful features that are right for you
  • no changes: TYPO3 default backend
  • Vanilla+: Based on the corporate design of TYPO3. Functionalities are not changed or added. There are only minor UI optimizations.
  • Modern: Activates all available features and optimizations of the Enhanced Backend extension. The UI/UX is based on current developments and there is a content tree that allows quick navigation over all content on a page.
• Of course, all features can be selected individually

Installation

With composer based TYPO3 installations, enhanced backend is easily added to the project.

TYPO3 11

composer require 3m5/typo3-enhanced-backend

TYPO3 10

At the moment we are try to backport our extensions to TYPO3 10. But this is not in our focus. So please be patient.

For non-composer projects, the extension is available in TER as extension key enhanced_backend and can be installed using the extension manager.
