No more custom extensions for simple data types

Anyone who has ever spent hours writing TCA files, creating SQL schemas, and scaffolding Extbase models just to add a simple “Team” or “Events” section 
knows the massive overhead involved. TONICTYPES eliminates all that boilerplate by using native TYPO3 core APIs to generate clean, upgrade-safe data structures directly in your backend. 
You keep full frontend control with standard Fluid templating while saving days of manual development and future maintenance effort. 
Psst... and MCP support is coming soon!

How TONICTYPES Works

1

Define Fields

Add exactly the fields you need, text, rich text (RTE), images (FAL), relations, or checkboxes. Build the precise input structure your content requires.

2

Create Data Type

Create a data type like “Blog” or “Event” and organize fields into tabs and logical groups for a clean, intuitive editing experience.

3

Automatic Setup

No manual SQL or TCA required. TONICTYPES automatically generates standards-compliant database tables and system configurations behind the scenes.

4

Manage Records

Your editors can start adding content immediately. The input forms feel 100% native inside the TYPO3 backend, no training needed.

5

Design Fluid Templates

Keep full control over your markup. Use standard TYPO3 Fluid templates to render your records exactly the way your design requires.

6

Render via Plugin

Place the TONICTYPES plugin on any page, select your data type, choose between list or detail view, and your content is ready to go.
