Contao Custom Collection

Use

1. Extend the tl_custom_collection.php table by adding a custom subpalette for each collection. The name must correspond to type_<collection_archive>, whereas collection_archive is the name of your collection archive in snake case. E.g. for an archive called "Example Collection": php $GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_custom_collection']['subpalettes']['type_example_collection'] = ';{image_legend},addImage;{text_legend},text;'; You can thereby chose from numerous predefined fields, or, add your custom fields to the fields array, e.g.: php $GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_custom_collection']['fields']['exampleTextField'] = [ 'label' => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_custom_collection']['exampleTextField'], 'exclude' => true, 'search' => true, 'sorting' => true, 'inputType' => 'text', 'eval' => array('mandatory'=>false, 'maxlength'=>255), 'sql' => "varchar(255) NOT NULL default ''" ];
2. After install and DB update, create a custom collection archive in the Contao Backend and start adding items to your collection.
