The clipboard

In TYPO3 CMS, every copy of a record is displayed in the clipboard, which is located at the bottom of the List module interface.

Using the clipboard:

  1. Copying a record:
    • Click on the copy icon on the ‘Features’ page.
  2. Viewing the clipboard:
    • Scroll down to the clipboard to view the copied record.
  3. Clipboard status:
    • The clipboard indicates that the ‘Copy’ operation has been performed. For the ‘Cut’ action, this is displayed in the clipboard with the corresponding text.
  4. Single record mode:
    • Note that the clipboard is in “Single record mode”. If you cut or copy another record, the current contents of the clipboard will be replaced.

Advanced use of the clipboard in TYPO3

  1. Activation and selection:
    • Select a page in the list view. If not already activated, click on “Show clipboard” (1). In the clipboard area at the bottom of the page, select “Clipboard #1 (multiple selection mode)”.
  2. Multiple selection:
    • You can now select all records (3) or just the ones you want. Each record has a selection box.
  3. Actions for selected records:
    • Once one or more records have been selected, new buttons appear at the top of the list:
      • “Edit all selected items”
      • “Move all selected items to the clipboard”
      • “Remove all selected items from the clipboard”
      • “Delete all selected items”
  4. Move items to the clipboard:
    • Select multiple boxes and click the “Move to clipboard” button. Your clipboard should now look like this:
  5. Copying or moving items:
    • The “Move items” button is selected by default. Select “Copy items” instead. The selected items will now be copied, and the current page will remain unchanged.
  6. Pasting on another page:
    • Switch to another page and click the ‘Paste’ icon:
    • A warning message appears asking you to confirm the action.
  7. Result:
    • After confirmation, you will see that the two elements have been moved to the top of the list and the clipboard is empty.

These advanced clipboard functions enable efficient management of data records in TYPO3, particularly when working with multiple elements simultaneously.
