From 954eb9379a5a1efa7673ddc2bb6accc11aa425af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Steeb Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 19:28:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] [FEATURE] Add "P" and "span" as header type options Editors sometimes need a header that is visually styled but must not appear in the document heading outline, for example a large intro line that should stay a plain paragraph for accessibility and SEO. Adds the values 7 (p) and 8 (span) to both the header type and the subheader type field. The matching labels already existed in the language file and are now actually used. --- Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) diff --git a/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php b/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php index da5630c..0b0a04b 100644 --- a/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php +++ b/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php @@ -37,6 +37,14 @@ 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:headertypes/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:type.I.h6', 'value' => 6, ], + [ + 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:headertypes/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:type.I.p', + 'value' => 7, + ], + [ + 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:headertypes/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:type.I.span', + 'value' => 8, + ], ], ], ], @@ -75,6 +83,14 @@ 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:headertypes/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:type.I.h6', 'value' => 6, ], + [ + 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:headertypes/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:type.I.p', + 'value' => 7, + ], + [ + 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:headertypes/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:type.I.span', + 'value' => 8, + ], ], ], ], From 60e5d0fb613d661e7c51c1a3f80f91e7dbfd7faf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Steeb Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 19:28:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/5] [TASK] Clean up XLIFF language file Fixes the invalid file date (an impossible "+13:13" timezone offset), adds the standard XLIFF file attributes and aligns the indentation and ordering of the trans-units. --- Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf | 18 +++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf b/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf index 88be125..1380287 100644 --- a/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf +++ b/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ - + Header Type @@ -11,6 +11,9 @@ Layout + + Default + H1 @@ -29,14 +32,11 @@ H6 - - P - - - Span - - - Default + + P + + + Span From e7af6e2a08da516a18979560a95016e814757d50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Steeb Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 19:28:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 3/5] [DOCS] Rewrite README in b13 style The README only contained a credits note and did not explain what the extension does or that it is backend-only: without a template override in the site package nothing is rendered in the frontend.

The value `0` ("Default") means "do not override" — +your template should fall back to its normal header rendering in that case. + +The extension does **not** render anything in the frontend on its own.
