Feature idea: group Mask elements in different tabs of the new content elements wizard

[PaDa19]

It would be great if we could have not only one tab "Mask elements" in the new content element wizards but several tabs to group the Mask elements.

At the momenta I overwrite the generateTSConfig fucntion in Classes/CodeGenerator/TyposcriptCodeGenerator.php to sort my content elements into differnt tabs based on prefixes in the element names but it would be great to have this functionality built in.

@PaDa19 Hi, thanks for your feature request. You can also do this without overriding the Mask generator. Example:

mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems {
    # Create new custom group
    myOtherGroup {
        header = My other Group
        after = mask
        # Copy config of Mask elements
        elements.mask_element_1 < mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.elements.mask_element_1
        elements.mask_element_2 < mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.elements.mask_element_2
        elements.mask_element_3 < mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.elements.mask_element_3
        # Add to show list
        show = mask_element_1,mask_element_2,mask_element_3
    }

    mask {
        # Override title of the Mask group
        header = My Elements
        before = common
        # Remove all elements, which shouldn't be here.
        elements.mask_element_1 >
        elements.mask_element_2 >
        elements.mask_element_3 >
    }
}

Right now am working on the next generation Content Blocks, so I will not work on new features for Mask at the moment.

Thanks for the quick reply and the suggested solution. I will stick with my approach for the moment because I don't need to change the typoscript when someone adds new elements.

Only very loosely related (sorry), but this TSConfig can come in handy:

# Name the tab 
mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.header = Custom Name
# Put it first
mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.before = common
