TYPO3 8.7: Set page type programmatically

Question

Being new to TYPO3, I'm interested in finding out, how I can add a TYPO3 page type in the backend on page creation programmatically.

Answer 1

As you can find in the manual you can set a default value for each field of any table with Page-/User-TSconfig.

general:

TCAdefaults.<table>.<field> = <value>

specific:

TCAdefaults.pages.doktype = 123

(replace 123 with your doktype)
