Description

Container Content Elements provides a lean, modern approach to creating custom container elements in TYPO3. Instead of relying on legacy solutions like TemplaVoilà or the more complex Gridelements, Container uses a simple PHP registration API that integrates natively with the TYPO3 page module.

Key Features

• Simple PHP API for registering custom container types
• Native integration with the TYPO3 page module — no backend layout hacks
• Fluid templates for frontend rendering
• Supports nested containers (containers within containers)
• Copy, move, and translate operations work out of the box
• Content Defender integration for restricting allowed content types
• CLI commands for sorting and integrity checks
• Compatible with TYPO3 11 LTS through 14 LTS

Why Container?

Container was created by b13 as a lightweight alternative to existing grid solutions. Its design philosophy is simplicity: register a container type with a few lines of PHP, create a Fluid template, and you're done. There's no need for complex database structures, backend layout configurations, or FlexForms. This makes it easy to version-control, deploy, and maintain across environments.
