README

No longer maintained. Since Contao 5.7, content elements can be managed directly on a theme (Layout → Themes → Content elements) and placed in a page layout like a front end module. That covers what this bundle was built for, so it will not be developed further. Existing installations keep working; new projects on Contao 5.7+ should use the core feature instead.

Manage theme-specific content elements (footer, header, etc.) in a dedicated Contao backend section — separate from page trees.

Requirements

	Version
PHP	>= 8.2
Contao	>= 5.3

Installation

composer require srhinow/themecontent-bundle

Features

Data structure

Theme Sections  (tl_theme_section)
  └── Section Articles  (tl_theme_section_article)
        └── Content Elements  (tl_content, ptable = tl_theme_section_article)

Insert tags

Tag	Description
{{insert_theme_article::ID\|ALIAS}}	Render a full theme section article
{{insert_theme_content::ID\|ALIAS}}	Render a single content element from the theme area
{{insert_content::ID\|ALIAS}}	Standard Contao insert tag also works

Content element

Add the "Theme Article" content element to embed a specific article from the theme content area via a select field.

Frontend module

Add the "Theme Content / Theme Article" frontend module to embed a theme article either via a page layout or as a content element.

Hook

Override or extend the theme article output via:

$GLOBALS['TL_HOOKS']['compileThemeArticle'][] = [\MyClass::class, 'myMethod'];

The callback receives ($template, $articleData, $moduleObject).
