TYPO3 13 / 14 BackendToolbarDocumentationUX

EXT:docs

Adds a documentation button to the TYPO3 backend toolbar. A click opens the project documentation in a modal iframe — directly inside the backend.

GitHub →

Adds a help icon to the TYPO3 backend toolbar. A click opens the configured project documentation directly as a modal — no tab switching, no loss of context.

Configuration

The documentation URL is configured in the Extension Manager under Admin Tools → Settings → Extension Configuration → docs:

SettingDefaultDescription
docUrl/_assets/docs/Content/ContentElements.htmlURL to the documentation HTML page

Generating Documentation

The extension works great with daux.io:

daux generate --destination=public/_assets/docs/

With auto-generated component documentation from TYPO3:

ddev typo3 fbase:component:documentation \
  packages/f_theme/Resources/Private/Ui \
  --format=markdown > docs/Content/Components.md

daux generate --destination=public/_assets/docs/

Installation

Include as a local Composer package in the project:

composer require georgringer/docs
