[TYPO3-english] How to create backend module for documentation

Wed Oct 30 16:18:46 CET 2013

Hi Sergio,

Which version of TYPO3 are you targeting?

I ask this because if you target 6.2, then best practices will arise and
simply be to show your in-house documentation within the new
documentation module:

http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/documentation/

If you really need a custom Backend module, you should simply load your
documentation in an iframe with something like

function main() {
	$url = 'http://yourwebsite/whatever/documentation.html';

	$this->content = '<html>
<head>
<title>Documentation</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="*">
  <frame src ="' . htmlspecialchars($url) . '" />
</frameset>
</html>';

}
