README

TYPO3 v14 backend extension that restores the behaviour known from TYPO3 versions before v14: the record uid is appended to the current record's breadcrumb label (e.g. My page [42]).

Why

Since TYPO3 v14 the backend breadcrumb no longer shows the record uid. This extension brings it back without patching the core, as a drop-in package that can be installed via Composer.

Screenshots

The record uid is shown again in the backend breadcrumb — for pages and records, in both the Page and Records modules:

How it works

The core TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Breadcrumb\RecordBreadcrumbProvider is final and @internal, so it cannot be subclassed. The breadcrumb component instead selects providers by priority (highest getPriority() first) and uses the first one whose supports() returns true.

This extension registers Gmartino\BreadcrumbLabelsUid\Breadcrumb\RecordUidBreadcrumbProvider with a higher priority. It decorates the core provider: breadcrumb generation is fully delegated to the core provider, and only the label of the resulting current-record node is post-processed to append [uid] (idempotently — an existing suffix is never duplicated).

Installation

composer require gmartino/breadcrumb-labels-uid

In TYPO3 Composer mode the extension is active immediately. Flush the backend caches afterwards:

vendor/bin/typo3 cache:flush
