00:38 Ries koomi: Downgrade FF :D
00:38 Ries O have read that quite a few javascript frameworks also have problems with FF's update
00:38 Ries I think that FF and it's tea starting to do a bad job...
00:42 Denyerek Bing bong
00:42 Denyerek walla walla ding dong
00:43 Denyerek FF should stop thinking about features and work out rendering and security
00:46 Ries Denyerek: I always was under the impression that features where hidden in it's extensions
00:54 Denyerek some
00:54 Denyerek not all
00:54 Denyerek and the security and stability of that extension platform needs wrk
00:54 Denyerek work
02:10 Denyerec no word back about the CSS ries :(
02:11 Ries Denyerec: what do you mean?
02:11 Denyerec No response
02:11 Denyerec So I don't know whether to keep going, or not :)
02:11 Denyerec an ideaje in dutch, right? :)
02:14 Ries hahah no not really
02:14 Ries it's just that I am so freaking buzy.....
02:14 Ries I just talked to a client/compaion in Nabraska, on which I am making the gallery for
02:15 Ries later tonight I need to talk to my USA client
02:15 Ries and tomorrow at 6 I am leaving for a small weekend in Manta witk Karina
02:15 Ries then at least till sep it's going to be hard work building the websites (total around 25
02:16 flipmoe5000 hi
02:16 flipmoe5000 'slideshow' => $this->getHeaderFile('pages_slideshow'),
02:17 flipmoe5000 slideshow should get the value out of table pages_slideshow
02:17 flipmoe5000 how must be the code for that?
02:19 Ries flipmoe5000: is that an extension you are making?
02:19 flipmoe5000 yes
02:20 flipmoe5000 or better i have extended it
02:20 flipmoe5000 slideshow
02:20 Ries I don't know that extension, but most developers use the execSELECTquery functions
02:21 flipmoe5000 can you describe that a little bit
02:21 flipmoe5000 im not really familiar with php until now
02:21 Ries flipmoe5000: Not really... it's better explained in the documntation then what I can tell you
02:22 Ries look into typo3_db
02:22 Denyerec wow
02:22 Denyerec 25 websites...
02:22 flipmoe5000 ok
02:22 Denyerec if I could build 25 sites between now and September, even for the little amounts I seem to be getting at the moment, I'd be a happy man
02:25 Ries they all share the same features and templates
02:25 Ries Denyerec: they just have different content
02:25 Denyerec then I'd *definately* be a happy man :)
02:26 Ries well... I am not getting paid for it.... But with a little luck it will make a really good ROI
02:30 Denyerec the gallery sites, or something new ?
02:32 Ries The gallery sites...
02:32 Ries But it also contains press releases and other functions... all build into one extension
02:32 Ries The gallery by itself is stilld esigned for high perfomance
02:33 Ries (hopefully :) )
02:33 Ries be back in 5
02:39 Denyerec Well, I'll be back in 6
02:39 Denyerec hours, that is.
02:39 Denyerec Gnight people
02:42 Ries night
03:00 Ries Hey Rocketjock
03:07 Rocketjock hmmm...
04:08 uffi /nick uschi
04:14 Ries Hey uschi, shouldn't you be sleeping still?
04:14 uschi right you are Ries :-)
04:14 uschi i had a party with my students wednesday night
04:15 uschi so yesterday i was so tired that i went to bed at 4 in the afternoon
04:17 Ries uschi so now you need to catch up ;)
04:18 uschi i cant sleep anymore
04:18 uschi perhaps in two hours again
04:18 uschi but for you it should be late now, or not?
04:20 bedlamhotel Salut, uschi.
04:20 uschi morning bedlamhotel ;-)
04:21 Ries uschi it's 11:23... and tomorrow morning at 6 I need to stand at the airport for a small 3 day holliday with my Wife
04:21 uschi Ries, should not you be on your way to a long weekend in manta?
04:21 uschi aaah
04:21 Ries in 6 hours ;)
04:22 Ries I need to pack and sleep, and send 200Mb of data to my client...
04:22 gerards Ries so we won't talk until monday?
04:22 Ries gerards: not really....
04:22 bedlamhotel *L* Ries, that makes it sound like your holiday will be 3 days /at the airport/...
04:22 gerards i was planning to visit tomorrow. I left some stuff at yourplace.
04:23 uschi just talking to my flatmate. he is still awake, so i wont see him over the day
04:23 Ries gerards: tania will be here
04:23 gerards ok.
04:24 Ries uschi: do you know his name still?
04:24 uschi gerards' name you mean?
04:24 Ries gerards: the problem of the flyers is solved...
04:24 Ries uschi: Your flat-mates name
04:24 Ries not that he is flat....
04:24 uschi yes, his name is rené
04:25 Ries uschi: I know a cartoon.... ren and stimpy....
04:25 uschi well the whole flat here is a cartoon, believe me
04:26 uschi but i suppose i do not like to be called stimpy :)
04:27 Ries uschi: actually you don't want to look like him
04:28 uschi no? so what kind of creature is stimpy?
04:28 Ries http://www.bdt.com/david/images/rs001.jpg
04:28 bedlamhotel http://images.google.com/images?q=stimpy&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=sUG&um=1&sa=X&oi=images&ct=title
04:28 Ries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ren_and_Stimpy_Show
04:28 uschi *lol*
04:33 uschi hm i suppose, yesterday i looked a little bit like ren
04:34 bedlamhotel Must have been some party.
04:34 uschi this is why i went to bed
04:34 uschi right, i had a party with my students the night before
04:34 uschi but now there are three weeks free of teaching
04:35 bedlamhotel == 3 weeks of 18 hour days cursing GIFBUILDER ?
04:35 uschi exactly, bedlamhotel :-)
04:36 uschi i will have to wait, until pulponaire turns up
04:36 uschi and i am asking myself how i can learn those graphicsmagick commands
04:36 bedlamhotel Egads, why?
04:37 uschi the commands because of the spacing stuff
04:37 uschi and waiting for pulponair, because he told me, that at times you get better results with ps-fonts
04:37 uschi he has tools to convert from ttf zu ps
04:38 bedlamhotel Uschi, a quick search turns up this, so you may be on the right, if fiendishly difficult, track:
04:39 bedlamhotel ...GD ignores the built in Kerning. ImageMagick does not, but
04:39 bedlamhotel doesn't have native PHP front end support...
04:39 uschi hm, and GraphicsMagick?
04:40 uschi you can do programming with php
04:40 bedlamhotel ...GM is a fork of IM I believe. API is supposed to match
04:40 uschi on the graphickmagick page they reccomend a book there
04:41 bedlamhotel Sure you can do IM/GM stuff with php, but GD is built right in these days (with specific php functions etc)
04:42 uschi GD is built in where, bedlamhotel ?
04:42 bedlamhotel to php.
04:42 uschi that i know, but could not i use GM?
04:43 uschi perhaps then the kerning is respected
04:43 bedlamhotel Yes. I only mean that GD is somewhat easier to use. You may want to find out what TYPO3 uses when rendering text. If it's GM, you may have better luck working around TYPO3 than using it...
04:44 bedlamhotel GD in php: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php
04:44 uschi yes, but if GD ignores the kerning, i will have to use GD
04:44 bedlamhotel GM, right?
04:45 uschi GM, i mean, sorry
04:45 uschi there was a thread in the newsgroups about fontstretching
04:46 uschi and they passed IM-params
04:46 bedlamhotel Yes, but if T3 is using GD to do text stuff, GM may not be much help unless you work with it directly.
04:46 bedlamhotel I think I vaguely recall that thread...
04:46 bedlamhotel Look promising?
04:46 uschi yes
04:47 uschi it must be possible to write an extension that uses GM instead of GD for text stuff or not?
04:47 uschi i am not the one who can write it, but there are people, who can do that
04:47 uschi in which case i will have to try to find some money
04:48 bedlamhotel Sure. I think I recall one of the core devs claiming that you could write a TYPO3 extension to make your coffee :)
04:49 uschi well, this should not be a problem, if, but only if, your coffe machine is able to take such commands
04:49 uschi my lover is doing such things
04:49 bedlamhotel Bluetooth coffee-maker?
04:50 uschi well he is not into the coffee-maker stuff, but we talked about it, and he said it IS possible
04:50 flipmoe5000 hi
04:50 uschi no joke, bedlamhotel
04:51 uschi if you can rule a whole electricity thing (what is english for kraftwerk) through a browser, you can do this with a coffe machine
04:51 uschi +e
04:52 bedlamhotel No, I understood. There's only one link in the chain I can't quite follow: typo3/cron -> xmlrpc -> ? -> computer/bluetooth -> coffeemaker/bluetooth
04:52 bedlamhotel something like that anyway.
04:53 bedlamhotel It makes me think of weird new directions for TS:
04:53 bedlamhotel lib.beverage = COFFEE
04:53 bedlamhotel lib.beverage {
04:53 bedlamhotel value {}
04:53 bedlamhotel }
04:53 bedlamhotel #$%#$%#$
04:53 bedlamhotel I can't type.
04:55 Ries bye
04:55 bedlamhotel Bon voyage Ries.
05:00 uschi and off he went, our Ries, may he have fun
05:00 uschi bedlamhotel, will you be here over the weekend?
05:02 bedlamhotel uschi: much of Friday, some of Saturday.
05:02 uschi great
05:03 bedlamhotel ...all in the middle of the night for you I expect. :)
05:03 uschi no prob
05:04 jsfan hi :)
05:05 flipmoe5000 hi
05:05 bedlamhotel uschi: anticipating problems?
05:05 uschi yes, second gifbuilder prob
05:05 uschi the portal title itself :-)
05:05 uschi multiple lines in some cases
05:06 uschi fiddling around with $TCA, because i will need to make the headerfield a multiline textfield
05:06 bedlamhotel Oh my. Seen lots of ML posts, never really tried to actually /do/ it though :-S
05:06 uschi there is an example in the typo3 cookbook
05:11 bedlamhotel TCA shouldn't be too bad, and splitting the header I think I get in principle, but I have learned not to underestimate Typoscript's ability to make me feel /outrageously/ stupid...
05:11 jsfan hi flipmoe5000
05:11 flipmoe5000 hi
05:12 flipmoe5000 are you familiar with extension development?
05:12 bedlamhotel In any case, I'm going to sleep because I don't want to look like either Ren OR Stimpy...
05:12 jsfan flipmoe5000, to a certain extent, yes.
05:13 bedlamhotel Au revoir typo3nistas.
05:13 flipmoe5000 i have extended the page table
05:14 d|g hi all
05:14 flipmoe5000 how can i get the value from that table in my php?
05:14 jsfan hi d|g
05:14 flipmoe5000 hi
05:14 d|g jsfan hi =)
05:14 jsfan flipmoe5000, have you had a look at the extension api?
05:14 flipmoe5000 not really
05:14 flipmoe5000 i have read some docs from the wiki
05:15 flipmoe5000 can you take a look at it perhaps?
05:15 jsfan flipmoe5000, i'd advice you to install the extension extdeveval and have a look at pibase there at least.
05:15 flipmoe5000 i will post the code
05:15 jsfan flipmoe5000, it's important that you understand the API at least a bit so that you can use the DBAL
05:16 jsfan post the code. i'll have a look.
05:16 flipmoe5000 ok
05:18 flipmoe5000 http://phpfi.com/218531
05:18 flipmoe5000 i have marked the relevant lines with some question marks
05:21 jsfan flipmoe5000, what exactly are you trying to read from the TCA?
05:22 flipmoe5000 one moment
05:22 flipmoe5000 records saved in a sys folder
05:23 flipmoe5000 you can create slideshows there
05:24 jsfan so what are you trying to obtain from the TCA? the actual record?
05:25 jsfan flipmoe5000_, so what are you trying to obtain from the TCA? the actual record?
05:26 flipmoe5000_ yes
05:26 flipmoe5000_ i have set up the field in page properties
05:26 jsfan flipmoe5000_, the record is not in the tca. the tca describes only the table and its fields but it does not store the data.
05:26 jsfan you have to query the database to get your records.
05:27 flipmoe5000_ normally you create an conten object on that page with that plugin
05:27 flipmoe5000_ ok
05:27 flipmoe5000_ how can i do that?
05:27 flipmoe5000_ im not really familiar with php until now
05:27 jsfan if this is a field in the page table, there will be only one value per page. is that what you want?
05:27 flipmoe5000_ yes thats ok
05:28 jsfan ok, then you have to query the page table. the best would probably be the function pi_getRecords from the class pibase
05:29 flipmoe5000_ ok
05:29 flipmoe5000_ can you paste an example please?
05:30 flipmoe5000_ and can the flexform variable get this value finally?
05:30 jsfan the query would then look something like $row = $this->pi_getRecord('pages',$GLOBALS['TSFE']->id,1);
05:30 jsfan then you get an array $row with all your fields in it.
05:31 jsfan from there you can then address your new fields as $row['tx_<name of extension without any _>_<fieldname>]
05:31 flipmoe5000_ ok
05:31 flipmoe5000_ whats the 1?
05:33 jsfan http://phpfi.com/218532
05:33 jsfan the 1 is checkRecord. if you set this to zero, even pages could be accessed that the user is not allowed to access at all.
05:34 jsfan it shouldn't really matter because you use the id of the current page, anyway.
05:34 flipmoe5000_ ah ok
05:34 flipmoe5000_ jep
05:34 jsfan try extdeveval. it's very helpful.
05:34 flipmoe5000_ yes i will
05:35 flipmoe5000_ and how can i add the $row to that line
05:35 flipmoe5000_ 'slideshow' => sFlash:slideshow,
05:35 jsfan do you want to prefill your flexforms with data from the db? or what is it you're trying to do in flexforms?
05:35 flipmoe5000_ nothing
05:35 flipmoe5000_ that is in the basic extension
05:36 flipmoe5000_ i dont want to creat everytime an content element
05:36 jsfan flexforms are for the BE. it's the forms the editor sees.
05:36 flipmoe5000_ better to add the file in the page properties
05:36 jsfan you're creating a plugin. this will have to be included as a content element.
05:36 flipmoe5000_ yes
05:37 flipmoe5000_ how about this?
05:37 flipmoe5000_ 'slideshow'
05:37 flipmoe5000_ 'slideshow' => $row ... ?
05:37 jsfan btw, i think that what you're trying to do can be done by using existing extensions, anyway.
05:38 flipmoe5000_ yes probably
05:38 jsfan is it something similar to this? http://www.abt.com.au/index.php?id=4
05:38 jsfan (left bottom is a flash)
05:38 jsfan maybe this is better: http://www.abt.com.au/index.php?id=5
05:39 jsfan i used rb_flashobject for that.
05:40 flipmoe5000_ one moment
05:40 jsfan i still don't understand what you want to do with the flexforms
05:40 flipmoe5000_ i have to reconnect
05:40 flipmoe5000_ then i will give you the url
05:40 flipmoe5000_ 3 sec.
05:42 flipmoe5000_ hmm
06:50 uschi hey, morning tobi
06:50 tobi good morning uschi
06:50 uschi (_)> coffee for you, tobi
06:51 tobi thank you ;)
06:51 d|g tobi, hi =) plz, repeat url to ff 2.0.0.3 html area bugfix ;)
06:54 Jigal hi all @ #typo3
06:54 tobi it was on http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=5266 d|g
06:54 d|g big thanks
07:00 MarwolTuk good morning
07:03 flipmoe5000 morning
07:22 just2b good morning
07:23 zatmania hi all
07:23 Jigal hi TomWork, d|g, MarwolTuk, helli_t3w, flipmoe5000, Fanty, just2b, zatmania
07:23 just2b hi zatmania
07:24 just2b hi higal
07:24 helli_t3w morning Jigal
07:24 Fanty morning
07:32 zatmania hi just2b, Fanty, helli_t3w, Jigal & others :)
07:35 helli_t3w morning
07:35 just2b jigal, zatmania > googlemap with tt_news > http://www.rggooglemap.com/index.php?id=49&no_cache=1&tx_rggooglemap_pi1[poi]=2&tx_rggooglemap_pi1[table]=tt_news ;)
07:39 zatmania need to go right now :)
07:39 just2b too bad ;)
07:40 zatmania beautiful green ;)
07:40 just2b ;) default css of tt_news
07:41 zatmania yes i know
07:41 zatmania i'm joking
07:42 just2b just wanted to show that I didn't change anyting on tt_news, .. only 3 markers in the template
07:43 zatmania lool
07:43 just2b jigal, that is my plan
07:44 just2b it should work now with nearlly any extension which has got a hook
07:44 zatmania you forget rggoolemap at town, at swimmming-pool ... :)
07:45 Jigal just2b: can there be a different marker or can the marker be scaled for each location?
07:46 just2b you mean icon?
07:47 Jigal just2b: yes, I thought about rggooglemap showing stats per country by displaying a bar (graph) with the height of the bar representing the value of that country :-)
07:48 just2b hmm different icons only for differnet categories
07:48 Jigal just2b: how many categories possible?
07:49 just2b there is no restriction
07:54 Jigal just2b: do you have details for that hook?
07:54 just2b how it has to look like?
07:54 just2b http://phpfi.com/218543
07:55 Jigal just2b: do I need to add this to my extension?
07:55 just2b yes
07:56 just2b your marker array should have the same name, otherwise rename it
07:56 Jigal eeeehhmmm, it says ['th_mailformplus'], or is this the example from th_mailformplus ?
07:57 just2b this function can be called by another extension modifiing (changing, adding) e.g. markers
07:57 just2b example of mailformplus
07:57 just2b you won't see it in the TER version of mailformplus because I added the hook myself
07:57 just2b another example wouzld be in ve_guestbook
08:00 Jigal I just realize that I want to use it in a BE extension which generates the HTML it shows in the backend... I guess I could just use the googlemaps API directly, or is rggooglemap still useful to insert the map image in an HTML page?
08:01 just2b i guess the api is there the faster way
08:01 just2b but i don't know your be ext
08:03 Jigal it's a modified and extended version of alternet_csa_in/out (csa= click stream analyzer); one page show page views/visitors per country, but the standard graph on that page is just a line graph. I thought it would be nice to show a (google)map with bars representing the views/visitors...
08:05 just2b hmm sounds not too easy
08:06 dax77 moin moin
08:06 just2b moin dax
08:06 just2b moin already an english expression... nevertheless I prefer a "moagn" ;))))
08:07 dax77 hehe
08:07 Jigal just2b: should things be easy? You said a different icon can be used per category; I could make a series of icons each for a range of values and use the appropriate category for each marker!
08:08 Jigal hi bauschan, dax77
08:08 just2b jigal if you take my extension but i guess it would be better to build a own thing... so of course you can take another icon for every POI
08:08 bauschan moin @all
08:09 dax77 hi bauschan
08:36 zatmania hi dax77
08:36 zatmania hi bauschan
09:00 bauschan http://youtube.com/watch?v=6h3G-lMZxjo
09:00 max_muetze g'mornin
09:00 bauschan for the apple geeks ;)
09:01 bauschan http://news.wired.com/dynamic/stories/T/TECHBIT_APPLE_AD_POLITICS?SITE=WIRE&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
09:01 max_muetze does somebody knows an extension for displaying a rss-news-feed on the website?
09:01 bauschan for the story behind
09:07 max_muetze so, i want to display my rss-feed (from coppermine gallery) on the right of my website... there must be a possibility, i use it with joomla at the moment...
09:07 max_muetze anyone here who knows sth about?
09:07 just2b there are several extensions to include a ress feed
09:09 max_muetze on typo3.org i only found several rss-creators
09:09 max_muetze can you tell one of them?
09:12 max_muetze please
09:13 just2b i once used tw_rssfeeds
09:22 max_muetze hm, okay, thanks... it works a little...
09:24 pulponair hi there
09:24 pulponair anyone running t3 4.1 in common with some userInt plugins?
09:26 thone hi, im using TYPO3 Ver. 3.7.0, i would like zu add a script-content-element, there is noch script-value in the dropedownmenu
09:26 thone do i need a extension?
09:27 pulponair thone: you should consider updating your t3 installation
09:27 pulponair thone: 3.7.0 is heavily outdated ;)
09:27 just2b pulponair: troubles with chash?
09:28 mikhas probably the wrong place to ask, but since php seems flooded, anyone know, on a typical debian installation (or similar) with LAMP, where to put php_value so they are interpreted by apache2? I've added some lines in httpd.conf but they are not accepted, from what I can tell.
09:28 just2b it is the wrong place
09:29 pulponair just2b: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=5282
09:29 thone the people im working for do not like to update :(
09:29 pulponair just2b: for a live sample see www.chaosbutzel.de hit the home menu item several times
09:29 mikhas just2b: aimed at me or someone else? :)
09:29 pulponair just2b: sorry: www.chaosbutze.de
09:30 pulponair mikhas: OT but add it to your vhosts
09:30 Jigal mikhas: isn't it php_admin_value in httpd.conf?
09:31 pulponair Jigal: : depends on the context
09:31 mikhas Jigal: my httpd.conf is empty from scratch.
09:31 pulponair jigal:global/local
09:31 mikhas pulponair: thanks, I'll give it a go.
09:32 pulponair mikhas: if you are using debian there should be a file named default-site or similiar
09:32 just2b ahh duplicate entry? ;)
09:32 pulponair Jigal: yes
09:32 pulponair just2b: yes
09:32 just2b this isn't a problem of 4.1. got it also at 4.0.3
09:32 pulponair just2b: yes it seems to be related to user_int obj
09:32 pulponair just2b: : are you aware of any workarounds?
09:33 just2b don't use sqldebug?
09:33 pulponair just2b: it occurs as soon as i place a user_int obj somewhere on the page
09:33 pulponair just2b: ;) ok
09:34 pulponair just2b: according to the bugtracker it should have been fixed in 4.1
09:34 just2b if i get it with 4.0.3. i believe it is not a real core issue?
09:34 mikhas pulponair: yeah, there is ,but as I use vhosts.conf, I might as well add it there?
09:35 just2b it is also not realurl related because i get it in a part of pagetree with not using it
09:35 pulponair just2b: i get it in 4.1 and 4.0.3
09:35 thone what do i need to add a (php)script-content-element, when in the menu is no script-content-element.
09:35 pulponair just2b: even on a fresh installation without any plugins like realurl
09:36 thone is it an ext what i need? how called?
09:36 pulponair thone:i dont even understand what you are talking about :)
09:37 just2b pulponair: so what do we do?
09:38 thone i would like to add a content element of type script to place there a phpscript
09:38 nevwork hi guys, got a weird thing, im looking at a typo3 configuration of a web that has been made by other peeps, and they somehow managed to get their own template into static templates section and bound it in that way
09:38 nevwork anyone got an idea how or a place where i might read that up?
09:39 thone but in the drope down menu with the typs of content to add, is no scriptvalue
09:40 nevwork thone, try "html" content element
09:41 pulponair just2b: :i dont know ...
09:41 nevwork and place your script in there
09:43 pulponair nevwork: yeah ...put it into an extension add addstatic to your localconf and there you are
09:43 max_muetze when i use tw_rssfeeds (or kik rss feeds - same error) i get this error: http://phpfi.com/218567 - i don't have access to php.ini or shell.. is there a way to clean this?
09:43 nevwork ahh, ok, ill look if they did it that way
09:44 pulponair nevwork: also check exttables....for addstatic
09:44 nevwork max_muetze try to set a php_value for it in your .htaccess file
09:44 nevwork you may edit that one through "quick explorer" extension from the backend
09:44 nevwork or via ftp;)
09:45 max_muetze ah, thanks, and to what? what code should i edit or add?
09:45 nevwork the one provided by your error message
09:45 pulponair max_muetze: dont forget to informe the extension author about this issue (php5 incompatibility)
09:48 max_muetze pulponair: i will do this
09:48 max_muetze nevwork: i am not very familar with this...
09:49 max_muetze can you provide a source to learn to change this?
09:49 nevwork of course
09:50 nevwork http://us3.php.net/configuration.changes
09:54 max_muetze nevwork: thanks a lot, so i only have to add/edit the following line: "php_value allow_call_time_pass_reference 1", right?
09:54 pulponair $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['pageNotFound_handling']='/404.html'; is it possible to set this domain wise?
09:54 nevwork yes, max, thats right
09:55 max_muetze thank you
09:55 nevwork pulp, lemme lookup tsref
09:56 nevwork pulp, you could use htaccess for that
09:56 max_muetze nework: great, it works! :-)
09:56 nevwork theres an error doc directive with apache
09:56 nevwork i tend to set errordocs per vhost, that link ppls back to mainpage in case of errors
09:57 bauschan anybody has a sec to confirm a render bug on ext manuals?
09:57 bauschan http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/irre_tutorial/0.1.5/view/toc/0/
09:57 bauschan table of contents is ok
09:57 bauschan but subsections aren't reachable
09:57 bauschan can anybody confirm this?
09:58 bauschan funny note, yesterday it worked fine :(
09:58 just2b i can confirm
09:59 bauschan thx, I'll sent a report
09:59 nevwork bauschan, before that, try to upgrade it from the ter
09:59 nevwork that sometimes works for me
09:59 nevwork ;)
10:00 uschi hi pulponaire :-) do you have a second or two for me?
10:00 bauschan nevwork: ? it's the online version we're talking about
10:01 nevwork ahh, ok, so its already the newest
10:01 bauschan should be ;)
10:02 nevwork ive seen a certain effect with typo3 packages, src usually comes not with the up to date versions of certain ext
10:03 mikhas hmm, strange, php_value still won't bite, thought it's added in virtualhost. :-P
10:04 pulponair mikhas: try php_admin_value
10:04 pulponair or was it php_value_admin ?
10:04 pulponair i do not remember
10:11 mikhas pulponair: thanks for the suggestions. Tried that now, didn't help, tried configuring allowoverride all, still don't work. I'll try some more things
10:11 pulponair mikhas: just adjust your php.ini
10:12 Jigal pulponair: it's php_admin_value ;-)
10:14 Jigal mikhas: what's you current virtualhost definition?
10:14 Jigal s/you/your/
10:16 mikhas Jigal: something like: <Directory /Users/<removed>/site> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All php_value upload_progress_tracking.store_method "file" php_value upload_progress_tracking.file 1 php_value upload_progress_tracking.file.filename_template "./tmp/upload/upl_%s.txt" </Directory>
10:17 mikhas this is after the common things like servername, errorlog, customlog etc..
10:18 max_muetze does somebody knows how to display images with tw_rssfeeds? i only get the titlelinks w/o images...
10:19 nevwork i dont think thats yet implemented, you might implement it though
10:20 nevwork right in the class file
10:20 nevwork or modify the parser
10:20 max_muetze really :-(
10:20 max_muetze unfortunately i am not a programmer...
10:21 nevwork im using the xml import extension for that stuff, and that has not implemted the images either
10:21 nevwork hehehe, with typo3 youll be one soon;)
10:21 max_muetze i think so...
10:23 Jigal mikhas: you can set the php_admin_value blablabla after the common things (outside the <Directory .... stuff
10:23 max_muetze nevwork: i think it should work - i found this link: http://www.keyboard-junkie.de/sinfest.html
10:23 nevwork really, nice
10:24 nevwork hehehe, that doesnt look right in ffox, btw, maybe he has modified it...
10:25 max_muetze yes in ie it looks terrible but it shows images...
10:27 nevwork id have to have a look at the ext actually to tell exactly
10:27 nevwork in case, look if there are markers for the images
10:27 nevwork inside the ext template
10:28 max_muetze uh, where do i have to look for that? i use typo3 since yesterday... ;-)
10:29 max_muetze i am in templaye/template storage, right so far?
10:29 mikhas Jigal: tried that too. hmm, I think I'm giving up on this now and give it another go when I've thought about it a little. Thanks for all the help though.
10:30 nevwork look inside typo3conf/ext/tw_rssfeed
10:30 nevwork check the files there
10:30 max_muetze ah, ok
10:30 nevwork also have a look inside the pi1/class.... file
10:30 max_muetze okay, and how do i identify the markers? with ######marker###### ?
10:31 nevwork either that way, or by their php obj
10:33 max_muetze and that is? $image? i don't know much about php, too.. :-/
10:33 nevwork $image is a var
10:34 nevwork variable
10:34 nevwork that holds some information id say, and from the name it holds the image
10:34 max_muetze ah, ok
10:34 nevwork try echo $image or print $image in your return $content
10:34 nevwork to see whats inside of it
10:35 nevwork or for more elegance, return $content.$image
10:35 max_muetze ok, i haven't found it yet..
10:36 nevwork take your time, learning programming or bugfixing php isnt a half-hour thing
10:37 max_muetze yes, i believe.. but i don't want to become a php-crack just for setting up a typo3... i used joomla until now and just want to give typo3 a try...
10:38 nevwork typo3 =! joomla
10:39 nevwork there are differences man, and if you want to go for more extended functs within typo3, youll have to know some php, dont need to become a total php hacker for it though
10:40 max_muetze yes, i hoped so... it is very interesting so i'll look how far i come..
10:40 nevwork btw, a real php "crack" would write his own cms;)
10:41 max_muetze ;-) hehe
10:54 sviftrup Hi all. Any of you familiar with the CSV User Import extension? When importing fe_users using this extension, it demands a module called FE_USERS to be present on the page where the users should be saved. I cant seem to find any module of this name. Any of you who has a wild guess what module im searching for?
10:55 pulponair hey guys who of you was the font expert again?
11:24 eeos hi everybody!
11:25 eeos hi just2b
11:34 thone hi, is the ext Page-PHP-Content still available, i do not find it under extentions to install?
11:35 Denyerec lo everyone
11:36 eeos Denyerec hi
11:38 thone is this extention, Page-PHP-Conten, in your typoinstall available?
11:39 eeos thone what is this extension for?
11:40 eeos thone I do not see it in TER
11:41 eeos thone are you sure it is the right name?
11:41 thone think so, to add phpscripts as contentelements
11:43 eeos thone I canot find it, I am sorry
11:43 thone maybe the extention is outdated, is there an other way to add phpscript as content elements
11:44 Denyerec yes
11:44 Denyerec thre is
11:44 Denyerec can't remember its name tho so gimme a mo
11:44 thone denyerec: also an extention ?
11:45 Denyerec yes
11:45 eeos Denyerec I mena I cannot find it under that name
11:45 Denyerec I am certain of it
11:45 eeos Denyerec do you know the new name?
11:45 Denyerec can't remember its name tho so gimme a mo
11:46 eeos Denyerec all the time you need
11:46 Denyerec lumophpinclude
11:47 thone im just wondering, there is still a doc for page_php_content
11:47 eeos a customer submitted an interesting request for a multilanguage website
11:47 thone http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/page_php_content/1.0.1/view/toc/0/
11:47 eeos he wants two languages
11:48 eeos on the front page, there should be 2 simmetric menus one in one lanague the other in the other language
11:48 eeos is that possible?
11:48 eeos thone http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/lumophpinclude/1.1.1/
11:48 eeos Denyerec what do you think?
11:49 Denyerec I think that's the one I was on about
11:49 Denyerec never used it, though
11:50 eeos Denyerec :D no I meant about the multilanguage website :)
11:52 Denyerec Oh
11:52 Denyerec Hmm
11:52 Denyerec Well
11:53 Denyerec You can use the LLL parameter to say in a conditional "If you are in language X, do this..."
11:53 Denyerec so i would say try and build a 2nd HEMU after manually setting the language parameter
11:54 eeos Denyerec but the problem is i the tree structure, I think
11:55 Denyerec as I see it, the data is in there
11:55 Denyerec you only need to get it out!
11:55 Denyerec The trick is... how.
11:56 Denyerec voidus will know :)
11:57 eeos hi voidus
11:57 voidus hi all :)
12:01 eeos voidus can I pose you a question?
12:01 voidus yes
12:02 eeos a customer submitted an interesting request for a multilanguage website. he wants two languages. on the front page, there should be 2 simmetric menus one in one lanague the other in the other language. is that possible?
12:02 tobi i think thats only possible by using the 2 tress aproach
12:03 eeos of course, the menu should be generated automatically, so when the customer adds a page in language A, the page goes to the appropriate menu, when they add a page in language B it goes to the tother menu.
12:03 tobi or by writing a custom userfunc for the menu thats not in the default language
12:03 eeos what do you think voidus?
12:03 eeos sorry, tobi?
12:03 tobi you have 2 aproaches how to do multilanguage pages
12:03 eeos tobi do you mean writing the whole thing in a default language
12:03 tobi with the one tree concept this will not work out of the box
12:04 eeos tobi and all page that are not in default lanague are automatically assigned to the other menu?
12:04 tobi when i access the english page the russian menu has to be created with a userfunc because you cant assign a language to a menu
12:04 eeos tobi we would rather go for 2 tress because we have different behaviours
12:04 tobi with 2 trees its no problem
12:04 eeos tobi bu what about the 2 symmetric menu on the front page?
12:05 eeos tobi, then when they chose oe of the 2 menus, everything is only in one lanaguage.
12:05 tobi no problem to do
12:05 tobi yes
12:06 eeos tobi maybe is not a probelm for you, oh guru, but it is a problem for meeeeeeeee!
12:07 eeos tobi I cannot figure out how to populate the two menus symmetrically
12:08 tobi just use a special directory eeos
12:08 eeos tobi because I would have 2 trees, one in language A the other in language B.
12:08 eeos tobi in which way?
12:09 eeos tobi I do not understand
12:09 tobi to show the menu of the other language just use a special=directory with special.value pointing to the tree of the 2nd language
12:11 eeos can you avoid showing the top of the tree then? becaue you cannot put the home page on top of the tree. You have the home page, with the 2 symmetrical menus, then the two other "home pages" for the two trees
12:11 tobi yes
12:12 eeos tobi how? :(
12:14 eeos tobi I really do not get it
12:14 tobi read the documentation about special directory, it takes care of that for you eeos ...
12:14 tobi try it out and it will be clearer for you
12:17 eeos tobi thanks, could you please point me to the documentation? is it tsref?
12:17 tobi yes it is in tsref
12:18 eeos tobi thanks
12:19 tobi no problem
12:21 tobi some css guru here? i tried to implement http://host.sonspring.com/hoverbox/ for typo3 .. everything ok, only IE does "keep" the hover state in my version: http://www.typo3wizard.com/index.php?id=234
12:23 eeos tobi testing with ie 6
12:25 eeos tobi tobi it is working on my IE 6.0. what is the problem exactly?
12:25 tobi hm that gallery should show the big picture on hover ... in my IE the bigger picture does not go away on mouse out
12:27 eeos tobi they do on mine
12:27 eeos tobi it works exactly as on konqueror
12:28 eeos tobi MS IE version you are using?
12:28 eeos tobi let me try with ie 7 and ie 5.5
12:28 Jigal tobi: in the <!--[if IE]>in your version... part the display property is set to block in .csc-textpic a:hover, but not set to none in .csc-textpic a (just above) have to check the original css files to see what the sonspring version contains...
12:29 eeos tobi it works also on 5.5 and on 7.0 on my computer
12:29 eeos tobi what version are you using?
12:29 tobi i am using 6.0.29
12:30 Jigal on 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.061219-0316 it doesn't work correctly...
12:30 tobi i have the same version as you Jigal
12:31 tobi Jigal, i modified the if IE part from here http://host.sonspring.com/hoverbox/css/ie_fixes.css ..
12:32 tobi is there some major difference between dl and ul ?
12:32 eeos tobi 6.0.2800.1106 here
12:32 Jigal yep, different html elements
12:33 tobi i dont get why this css does not work with my html -.-
12:33 eeos tobi could you please phpfi.com the css
12:34 Jigal tobi: why use dl and not ul??
12:34 just2b anyone works at t3one?
12:35 tobi thats the css eeos http://phpfi.com/218603
12:36 eeos just2b what is t3one
12:36 tobi becuase i tried it with the typo3 default config, to use it out of the box without changing the rendering
12:36 just2b eeos, visit it
12:36 eeos just2b how?
12:37 eeos tobi I am trying to undestand
12:37 just2b t3one.com
12:41 eeos just2b interesting
12:42 eeos tobi can you try to remove the if section and see how it behaves?
12:43 max_muetze do you think it is lightly possible to fit a joomla-module for acting as a typo3-extension? i mean - both is php...
12:43 Denyerec http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/bigphotos/images/060411_rabbit_big.jpg
12:43 Denyerec depends what the joomla module does
12:43 Denyerec there may be a typo one aready
12:44 voidus max_muetze: no. typo3 extension are written with some rules..
12:44 tobi without the if it does not hover at all in IE eeos
12:44 max_muetze i think of the module fetch_rss - i use it in my joomla for displaying my coppermine-rss-feed with images
12:44 eeos tobi are you sure it is not a bug with ie?
12:45 voidus max_muetze: you can use typo3 extension news_feeder
12:45 tobi eeos it is not a ie bug, on the original page it works in ie but i cant figure out what i made wrong to make it not work in IE ..
12:46 eeos tobi do you have the origial page?
12:46 eeos tobi why did you remove z-inde from the ie sectio?
12:46 eeos tobi why did you remove z-index from the IE section?
12:47 tobi original is here eeos http://host.sonspring.com/hoverbox/
12:47 tobi hm i left the z-index, it is still in there
12:48 eeos tobi not in the css you sent me
12:48 eeos tobi ah! tht is the original! I thought this was your page! :(
12:48 eeos tobi that is the page I tested!
12:48 tobi yes .. my page is http://www.typo3wizard.com/index.php?id=234#
12:50 eeos tobi the css you sent me does not have the z-index
12:51 eeos tobi could you please add it?
12:51 tobi where? there is a z-index on .csc-textpic a:hover
12:52 eeos tobi because you redefine a:hover. but z-index should be in the last one really.
12:52 eeos .csc-textpic a:hover .preview
12:52 eeos {
12:52 eeos top: -38px;
12:52 eeos left: -50px;
12:52 eeos }
12:53 eeos I think you should add it here.
12:53 tobi hm i dont redefine it, i extend it ( cascading style sheed) .. i dont think adding z-index 2 times makes a difference bu ill try
12:53 tobi same thing
12:53 eeos tobi that is in theroy, but in practice browsers do implement a correct version of cascading
12:54 tobi it does not make a difference adding the z-index
12:55 eeos tobi also why do you use dl?
12:55 tobi because typo3 creates the dl for me
12:55 tobi switching to ul leads to the same result btw
12:56 Denyerec in Typo3 the site title always outputs with a : on the end
12:56 Denyerec where would I look to change that ?
12:56 Denyerec oooh ooh
12:56 Denyerec tobi
12:56 Denyerec css issue?
12:56 eeos tobi I do not understand, I will make some tests later
12:56 tobi yes, css/ IE problem Denyerec
12:56 just2b denyerec: mf_pagetitle
12:57 Denyerec just2b - you mean I can't just alter a wrap in the TS structure?
12:57 just2b this is the way I do it...
12:58 tobi you can also use ts if you want Denyerec: http://www.typo3wizard.com/en/snippets/general-config/customize-pagetitle.html
12:59 Denyerec Oh I see
12:59 Denyerec turn it off and add one in the header data...
12:59 Denyerec Fair enough, thought you might be able to just alter the standard wrap on it.
12:59 Denyerec tobi it looks like the hover state in IE isn't being cleared because you're triggering another hover event before the mouseout
13:00 tobi hm i dont know if its possible to change the default wrap
13:00 Denyerec you may well only be able to solve that in IE with some JS
13:00 eeos Denyerec I think the probelm is the cascading is not properly read, so if you try to cascade in reality you redefine open another status
13:00 eeos sorry, another event
13:01 tobi Denyerec on the site i copied this script it works also in ie (http://host.sonspring.com/hoverbox/), so probably i have made a error ..
13:01 Denyerec hmm
13:01 eeos http://host.sonspring.com/hoverbox/ tobi they do not redefine!
13:01 eeos tobi i have jsu finished reading their css
13:01 eeos it works well in ie 5.5, 6.0, 7.0
13:03 tobi how do you mean they do no redefine? they also have a second css for ie which looks like my one
13:10 eeos tobi I am doing some experiments with you code
13:10 tobi ok, thank you eeos ... im played around for 3 hours and did not came further than this
13:13 zatmania hey pulp
13:20 pulponair zatmania: type something please my clients seems to be brocken
13:20 zatmania pulp : ?
13:23 eeos tobi I cannot make it work.
13:24 eeos I have made it work properly in opera, but no ie 6.0
13:26 eeos hi pulponair zatmania
13:26 zatmania hi eeos
13:26 Denyerec tobi my only advice would be to crosscheck the markup and CSS with their exact example carefully
13:26 Denyerec and then start changing things again one thing at a time :(
13:26 tobi for me it works in opera/mozilla but not in ie, i copied the css 1:1 only changed the classname with search and replace ...
13:27 Denyerec eeos confirms theirs works in IE5 6 7
13:27 Denyerec have you changed anything else?
13:27 Denyerec image sizes etc ?
13:27 Denyerec I notice in their example there is some space around the thumbnails
13:28 Denyerec M, so there is on yours
13:30 max_muetze voidus: would you help me with the news_feeder extension? i read the guide but it doesn't work...
13:30 voidus max_muetze: i don't use this extension..
13:32 eeos tobi I think the problem is
13:32 max_muetze voidus: ok, but thanks for the suggestion
13:33 eeos .csc-textpic dl should be .csc-textpic dt
13:33 eeos could you please try?
13:33 eeos tobi
13:33 tobi yes moment
13:34 tobi changet to dt, same thing
13:36 eeos tobi no, it works on my machine now!
13:36 eeos tobi have you cleared the cache?
13:37 tobi yes i have, when viewing the source i also see the .csc-textpic dt
13:39 eeos tobi so why does it work here, ad not on your machine?
13:39 tobi web weirdness i guess ;)
13:40 eeos tobi you have modified other things in css!!!!
13:40 eeos .csc-textpic dl,.csc-textpic dt,.csc-textpic dd,dt
13:40 eeos {
13:40 eeos position: static;
13:40 eeos }
13:40 eeos that is how mine is.
13:40 eeos yours is
13:41 eeos .csc-textpic dl,.csc-textpic dt,.csc-textpic dd,dt
13:41 eeos {
13:41 eeos position: static;
13:41 eeos }
13:41 eeos sorry
13:41 eeos yours is
13:41 eeos .csc-textpic dt
13:41 eeos {
13:41 eeos position: static;
13:41 eeos }
13:41 tobi yes i changed it back to the original from http://host.sonspring.com/hoverbox/css/ie_fixes.css
13:42 eeos tobi well, mine is now working, using your code and not the code from sonspring
13:42 eeos so modify them back
13:42 tobi so i did change something but i only addet more selectors and after that i changed it back to the original css
13:42 eeos tobi did you also modify the html?
13:42 tobi how is your css looking? yould you phpifi please?
13:43 tobi the html i want to use is created by typo3, so it is a bit different than the original one
13:44 eeos here it is
13:44 eeos http://phpfi.com/218619
13:44 eeos but keep in mind I am not loading the rest of the css generated by your typo3, because I only use this css. so if there is interferece between them, I do not see it.
13:44 eeos tobi it works properly on my machine now, using your code
13:46 tobi nice, that css works for me too ... tank you eeos! what did you change?
13:47 eeos tobi you used dl instead of dt, so the class was acting on the wrong tag ! :P
13:49 eeos tobi going back to the special = directory, I read the blooming tsref manual, did not understand how to use it :(
13:52 tobi it is simple, you create a menu that starts from a given uid. so instead of letting hmenu decide where your menu begins, you specifie it by setting special.value=startpid
13:53 just2b but you can also make it soo cool dynamically with adding the start pid in page propertires gg
13:54 eeos tobi ah! is that so simple?
13:54 eeos tobi (which measn am I that stupid? :D)
13:54 eeos just2b I do not understand?
13:55 tobi yes it is that simple, but when you never used it how should you know it? ;)
13:55 eeos tobi thanks for consolation :D
13:55 eeos just2b tobi what is this thing of adding the start pid in page properties?
14:00 eeos does anyone know how to participate in the typo3 5.0 development process
14:00 eeos ?
14:01 just2b this can be done by a extension, if you need it
14:01 eeos ah! food is ready! :)
14:01 eeos talk to you all later!
14:02 just2b question: How can I set a parameter in TS? e.g. L = 2
14:02 tobi in a link? you cant change values with ts ( only registers )
14:04 Denyerec enzo
14:04 Denyerec eeos
14:04 Denyerec I thin it's like Fight Club
14:04 Denyerec you have to stand outside in the rain for a few months.
14:04 Denyerec :)
14:04 Denyerec Hey Staffan
14:05 just2b tobi, not only a link but everywhere... like it would be after linkVars = K
14:05 just2b = L ;)
14:05 Jigal grmpff.... I need four RTE fields in a single backend form; the first three only show textarea with text + html tags; fourth shows empty toolbars and a footer with "Path:". I use tinyRTE; any ideas??
14:06 tobi hm i dont think that thats possible just2b
14:06 tobi maybe with a php function
14:08 j0hndeere Good morning, earth humans.
14:10 Jigal I'l try again (every 5 minutes ;-P until the solution is found):
14:10 Jigal I need four RTE fields in a single backend form; the first three only show textarea with text + html tags; fourth shows empty toolbars and a footer with "Path:". I use tinyRTE; any ideas??
14:11 tobi i see 2 possibilities Jigal: writing a small extension or using templavoila with a fce
14:11 tobi good morning j0hndeere
14:12 Jigal tobi: can you explain what the problem is with multiple RTE instances (other than "it doesn't work" :-) )?
14:13 tobi hm it should work? what is the problem with them? used them in quite some projects
14:13 tobi but allways with templavoila
14:14 Jigal this is in the backend, list view, editing a record...
14:15 tobi maybe there is a new bug .. hmm
14:15 Jigal tobi: TYPO3 v.3.8.1.... maybe an old bug? LOL
14:16 tobi uhm yes :P
14:26 just2b sry me again: how can I add a parameter in a menu?
14:33 Jigal I forgot how I can see which version of an ext in TER is suitable for which version of TYPO3... (help?)
14:38 Denyerec if you use something GPL in your own product
14:38 Denyerec does yourproduct have to then be GPL ?
14:38 Denyerec I think that's how it works but I need calrification
14:38 Denyerec *clarification
14:39 MasterYin Anybody here fit with GIFBUILDER?
14:43 MasterYin Any idea why i get NO OUTPUT from the Gifbuilder?
14:43 just2b code wrong?
14:46 Jigal Denyerec: interesting problem; GPL only states that if you modify a GPL'd program and distribute the modification the modified version also needs to be distributed under GPL... But even experts do not agree whether non-GPL can dynamically link to GPL... Which version of GPL do you refer to?
14:47 MasterYin I copied the Samplecode from wiki.typo3.org
14:48 MasterYin What do i need for the GIFBUILDER?
14:48 Denyerec No idea jigal
14:48 Denyerec a friend wants to use a GPL map in something
14:48 Denyerec and wants to knw if that means he has to GPL his whole app
14:49 Jigal Denyerec: and he wants to distribute "something" or only run it himself (e.g. a website that uses GPL software to run on)
14:50 eeos re
14:50 eeos hi everybody
14:50 SpinGary hi all
14:51 Denyerec I think he wants to distribute it.
14:51 Denyerec I think it's a website
14:51 Denyerec he's not been very clear
14:51 SpinGary neonide and i are looking for a typo3 freelancer to build a couple of simple extensions
14:52 SpinGary any referrals are much appreciated
14:52 Denyerec Damnit.
14:52 Denyerec I wish I could code extensions :(
14:52 Denyerec Mind you if they're simple...
14:52 Denyerec just HOW simple are you talking SpinGary ?
14:52 SpinGary it's all relative, now, isn't it? :-D
14:52 Denyerec haha yeah
14:52 Jigal I wish I could code TypoScript :-(
14:53 Denyerec I know Ries, gerards, just2b, voidus all do extension dev.
14:53 Denyerec Lots of people here do
14:53 Denyerec But I guess it depends on the budget and the complexity.
14:53 SpinGary think guestbook but with a file upload
14:53 Denyerec you had me up to "but"
14:53 SpinGary then backend admin who can review the entries and the files (iamges) uploaded
14:54 SpinGary we'll be lurking around all day (I'm in US) in case anyone's interested
14:56 MasterYin I need some who can Tell me how to use the Gifbuilder!
14:57 Denyerec CAREFULLY!
14:58 Denyerec What are you trying to do with the gifbuilder ?
14:58 Jigal SpinGary: have you read: http://typo3.org/community/service-offerings/ ?
14:58 MasterYin I want him to create Gif with transparent Background with Text in an Spezial font
14:58 SpinGary I have, but most of them are so very busy
15:00 MasterYin SpinGary: on Typo3.net is also a corner for Freelancers...
15:00 Jigal SpinGary: yes the list on http://typo3.com/Consultancies.1248.0.html of companies with a proven track record for the U.S. is very limited. But with the internet the world becomes a lot smaller :-)
15:00 Jigal MasterYin: good one!
15:00 Denyerec sounds to me like you want a fe guestbook to anonymously accept image uploads but hide the records until they have been reviewed and marked as OK, correct?
15:01 Denyerec MasterYin
15:01 Denyerec I think there's a guide for this
15:01 Denyerec one mo
15:01 SpinGary Yes, that's what I am looking for
15:01 SpinGary Jigal + MasterYin: looking at the list now -- didn't see the Freelancer nook... thx for the pointer!
15:03 MasterYin SpinGary: http://www.typo3.net/forum/list/list_topic/8/
15:05 eeos incredible.
15:06 Denyerec Bwahahahahahaa
15:06 Denyerec http://wla.systemcms.com/
15:06 eeos on one installation, bullet point appeared in the BE near the symbols for pages in the server tree
15:06 Denyerec OK, so the text only link doesn't GO anywhere yet
15:06 Denyerec but at least it looks OK
15:06 Denyerec I don't trust tinyRTE
15:06 Denyerec I don't know why.
15:06 eeos Denyerec no bad
15:06 eeos Jigal goodbye
15:07 thone hi, is there a way to get the uid and pid of the current site ? for a hint, guide, link i would be deeply grateful
15:07 Denyerec http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/GIFBUILDER
15:09 eeos thone the udi of a site?
15:09 thone joa
15:09 eeos anyone has a solution for the bullet point thing?
15:12 eeos it happens only if I use FF.
15:22 j0hndeere Hello again.
15:27 bauschan bauschan wishes a nice weekend
15:29 Phlogiston anyone knows a good book for typo3 extension programming? Or any good links?
15:29 gerards huh? Denyerec? you mentioned my name? you need ANOTHER extension ;)
15:30 gerards ?
15:30 max_muetze can anyone tell where to set up xml-rpc in typo3?
15:30 Zat[FarFarAwAy] it exist like an ext
15:30 just2b max: there are some ext which to this
15:31 max_muetze i need it for blogging with timtab and windows live writer...
15:31 max_muetze i cannot find a manual for doing this
15:34 max_muetze ah i found a setting in templates/template storage/+ext tt_news-config/PLUGIN.TX_TIMTAB - i think this should be the right setting....
15:51 max_muetze does someone uses an external blogging tool like w.bloggar for typo3 here?
16:01 max_muetze sorry, for so many questions...i get
16:01 max_muetze i get the following error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /is/htdocs/wp1051649_4RN2WSUMN6/www/typo3/typo3conf/ext/rlmp_officelib/class.tx_rlmpofficelib_div.php on line 63
16:01 max_muetze can someone help me with this? i want to view the ext-documents
16:05 max_muetze (as i get this error...)
16:19 eeos has anyone ever tried to install typo3 using Fantastico?
16:29 eeos I have to go.
16:29 eeos have a nice weekend everybody!
16:29 Denyerec gerards - some US dude was after an extension freelancer
16:35 reber hi all
16:49 SpinGary gerald: that US dude is me... looking for solid extension builder to build mostly basic plugins
16:50 SpinGary I'm crash-coursing extension building as we speak. Using the guestbook extension and tye TYPO3 ECM book as a guide
16:51 SpinGary I wish there was a solid, recent extension that's more complex than mininews to use as a guide. Guestbook is nice but doesn't use Templavoila
16:52 SpinGary Oh, did I mention, I am so sick of coding now. So, that's why I'm looking for a freelancer :-P
17:20 andreasbalzer Hi
17:20 andreasbalzer how to remove files from ./uploads that are no longer used by T3?
17:43 MarwolTuk bye
18:19 Denyerec When dealing with a text only site, is it beter to create a whole new text only template, or just implement some kind of style switcher ?
18:22 uschi good question, Denyerec
18:23 SpinGary If you prepared the css/content integration well enough, a css switcher should be all you need
18:23 Denyerec Well my CSS rocks
18:24 Denyerec So all I need is a Typo3 safe style switcher
18:24 Denyerec or, should I say TYPO3 styleswitcher
18:24 Denyerec if I'm adhering to the TYPO3 style and branding guidelines I read recently.
18:24 uschi if you find one, let me know, Denyerec
18:24 SpinGary in our ecommerce sites, we use css to position content. we put all the meaty content up front on the code, but in that example it would NOT be a good thing to just use CSS switcher
18:24 Denyerec You still being hassled by students?
18:24 uschi what is to fluffle?
18:24 Denyerec Ok
18:24 uschi no, i am free
18:24 Denyerec Um
18:25 Denyerec Imagine approaching someone, and making a mess of their hair in a friendly way
18:25 uschi aah :))
18:25 SpinGary i wish my CSS skillz were better
18:25 SpinGary what if one has no hair?
18:25 Denyerec It's quite possibly the one part of webdev I am actually any good with.
18:26 uschi my mind gets twisted by this localisation stuff
18:26 Denyerec But it's perfectly acceptable to fluffle someone's jumper, if it's wooly, or their bald head if you're short on options.
18:26 Denyerec uschi at least you can actually speak different languages... :)
18:26 Denyerec I have to invent all the translations too! ;)
18:27 uschi wb pulponaire
18:27 pulponair without 'e' ;)
18:27 uschi pulponair-e
18:27 Denyerec it'll be pulponaire when he's rich :)
18:28 pulponair ;)
18:28 pulponair el pulp
18:29 pulponair i used to name myself |pulp until 95 but someone at ircnet highjacked that nick
18:31 uschi i am just reading the localisation guide again
18:31 pulponair uschi: confusing stuff especially in common with TV
18:31 uschi and i am told, that for flexforms (i.e. tv in my case) i should set <langDisable>1</langDisable> for Container elements
18:32 pulponair uschi: depends
18:32 uschi i reckon, page templates are Container elements by nature?
18:32 uschi there are all these warnings in the guide and not enough explanation, in my eyes
18:33 pulponair uschi:i recently set up a sit using 35 different languages using tv ...pain in the ass
18:33 pulponair s/sit/site
18:33 uschi well, i do have only 15 or so
18:33 pulponair uschi: enough ;)
18:34 uschi but it seems to me, that in some cases i will need separate
18:34 pulponair uschi: may be it is worth thinking about the needed translation system
18:35 uschi students coming from, let's say Russia, need different information than english students
18:35 pulponair uschi: : inheritation is quite cool but becomes pretty complex when using nested FCEs
18:35 pulponair uschi: yes but using inheritation you is kinda mixture of seperation and 1:1
18:35 pulponair s/you//
18:35 uschi by nested FCEs you mean: i have an outer FCE with three cols, that can contain content elements again?
18:36 pulponair uschi: right
18:36 uschi i understand, because in some cases you do not want to translate images
18:36 uschi and stuff like that
18:36 pulponair uschi: something like those fancy round corner boxes i used at the bc site
18:37 uschi no content, just layout, you mean
18:37 uschi i have to start with the pages first
18:37 pulponair uschi: inheritation mode enables you eigther to translate a particular ce or use total diffent content for a content column
18:37 uschi how that?
18:37 uschi can we start with pages, please?
18:38 pulponair uschi: lets assume your page template consists of 1 colum "content"
18:38 uschi ok
18:39 pulponair uschi: on some pages you may just want to translate ces 1:1 so you are fine with that but on some page you may need totally different content so just select the particular language from that tv select box and you are able to fill the content column with language specific content
18:40 uschi this is the case i am thinking of
18:40 pulponair uschi: yes i guessed so therefor i suggested "inheritation mode"
18:41 uschi ok
18:41 pulponair uschi: <langChildren type="integer">1</langChildren>
18:41 pulponair <langDisable type="integer">0</langDisable>
18:41 pulponair for inheritation mode
18:42 pulponair at your pagetemplate
18:42 uschi so i set my page template to <langChildren>1</langChildren> and <langDisable>0</langDisable>
18:42 pulponair right
18:42 uschi the localisation guide tells me, that i should avoid these settings for container elements
18:42 pulponair uschi: yes elements!
18:43 pulponair uschi: confusing but it is related to "nested elements"
18:43 uschi so only FCEs are meant by this
18:43 pulponair uschi: yes probably
18:43 bedlamhotel Pulponair: you wouldn't want to stick this all in the wiki sometime, would you? Good stuff.
18:43 uschi we will have to do this
18:43 uschi with examples
18:43 pulponair bedlamhotel: it is covered by the language guide but i would like to see some "best practise stuff"
18:43 pulponair right
18:44 uschi so we will form a club that sorts this out
18:44 pulponair uschi: after you set inheritation mode switch over to the page module and perform some testing to get used to it ...tell me if you are ready i ll guide you through
18:44 bedlamhotel Yes, I know the localization guide. But an additional how-to from the point of view of someone implementing a projet could be useful... But please carry on.
18:45 uschi ok, i will have to set up the rest of the language stuff too
18:45 uschi i have not configured it yet
18:45 uschi shall i update all my extensions first?
18:45 pulponair uschi: dont forget to set sys_language_mode = content_fallback
18:45 pulponair sys_language_overlay = hideNonTranslated at the ts template
18:46 uschi i am not sure whether i want that
18:46 pulponair uschi: sure but set it as default
18:46 uschi sys_language_overlay is only for content elements, right?
18:46 pulponair right
18:46 uschi and sys_language_mode for menus aka pages
18:46 pulponair you may change it afterwards but please set it as default so you got a point to start from
18:47 uschi for sys_language_mode i would choose content_fallback
18:47 uschi pulponaire, is there a way to limit languages via page TSConfig?
18:48 pulponair guys, i am in hurry so just one short last shot: set page template as mentioned above, set ts template and play arround with it until you got familiar with it
18:48 uschi ok, ok
18:48 uschi rome was not build in a day
18:48 uschi so no updating of extensions first?
18:48 pulponair uschi: i guess so but i do not know it off hand right now
18:49 uschi shit, phone
18:49 pulponair uschi: no not neccessary at this point ...get familiar with translation ...it is important since it becomes really complex on huge sites
18:51 pulponair hey guess what ...amazon sells beer
18:51 pulponair but i think it is just american root beer ...
18:53 pulponair uschi: btw i was able to make this "post html code within the rte"-think work
18:54 uschi great
18:54 pulponair yes :)
18:55 uschi ok, now writing config for languages
18:56 pulponair btw:searching for a new flat is such a frustrating thing
19:00 Denyerec has anyone ever done a style switcher on Typo3 ?
19:00 Denyerec there are some extensions for it but they all look a bit overboard.
19:01 pulponair Denyerec: i did similar thing but its more some kind of ts switcher
19:01 Denyerec HOw do you mean?
19:01 Denyerec i just have a text-only "accessible" stylesheet, and need a text link on the site to switch over to it.
19:01 pulponair Denyerec: just introduce a get variable and include different css files depending on its value
19:02 Denyerec Thing is, I am then in deep trouble with RealURL
19:02 Denyerec and making sure all links carry it
19:02 Denyerec etc
19:02 pulponair Denyerec: privat i wanna show it to you
19:02 Denyerec OK
19:02 Denyerec I'm regg'd I think
19:03 pulponair Denyerec: no responce
19:04 pulponair Denyerec: still alive?
19:07 bedlamhotel Denyerec: re stylesheet switcher: you don't need to do /everything/ with TS...I guess you probably want a non-js solution thouugh, right?
19:08 Denyerec Preferably yeah
19:08 Denyerec Cos you can't always guarantee their browser is js enabled.
19:11 bedlamhotel Yes, of course. Depending on the audience, it's sometimes worth the risk (i.e. when you can reliably predict the rate of js availability).
19:11 Denyerec Aye.
19:12 Denyerec in the case of this client, they most likely don't care
19:12 Denyerec but for the sake of future projects which may have stricter accessibility concerns, it doesn't hurt to learn the best way :)
19:12 bedlamhotel Seems to me you could use a strategy like some print pages where you just append a ?accessibility=1 to the current page's url and use GPVar condition to check for it and deliver stylesheets.
19:13 bedlamhotel Obviously if you need the styles to be persistent, you'll have to get into cookies etc in addition.
19:29 bedlamhotel Any OSX users around today?
19:29 pulponair over here
19:29 pulponair at least osx86
19:29 bedlamhotel pulponair, do you do your TS work in Firefox then?
19:29 pulponair just2b: wb
19:30 just2b hi pulponair, thx
19:30 pulponair bedlamhotel: to be honest i do not use osx for webdev just for fontconverting as uschi may confirm ;)
19:30 bedlamhotel Pulponair: Aha, I had heard that :)
19:30 pulponair bedlamhotel: really ;)
19:32 bedlamhotel Any other OSX users? Textareas in Template module in FF on OSX have been f*cked up ever since it was made possible to use tabs in them. Wondered if anyone knew anything about that...
19:32 pulponair ok, i gotta go bye
19:32 bedlamhotel ciao pulp*
19:32 uschi hm, i never tried it out, bedlamhotel
19:32 uschi i have a mac, but i hardly ever use it
19:33 uschi because i do not know howto
19:33 bedlamhotel Ah. I have a mac but I hardly ever use anything else if I can help it. (Except at work)
19:33 uschi and either i am learning typo3 or 105 other things
19:33 bedlamhotel *L*
19:33 pulponair bye folks
19:33 bedlamhotel Using a new OS is not such a difficult thing. Easier in all respects than learning TS.
19:33 uschi bye pulponair
19:34 uschi the problem is that not all the software i need is available for mac
19:34 uschi concerning dictionaries and fulltext databases, bedlamhotel
19:35 bedlamhotel Yeah. Understood. I only use Adobe products, texteditors, ftp programs etc. All easy to get for whatever platform.
19:35 bedlamhotel Well, except the Adobe products.
19:35 uschi true
19:40 uschi they are expensive
19:40 bedlamhotel ...and not available on *nix.
19:44 Denyerec bedlamhotel - if I have a getvar called Camel how do I test it in TS ?
19:46 gerards [globalVar = GP:camel = mammal]?
19:46 Denyerec thanks gerards
19:46 Denyerec now
19:46 gerards please check tsref to confirm my syntax.
19:46 Denyerec gerards
19:46 Denyerec we can do this the easy way or the hard way... If you're thinking of leaving, I may have to tape you to the ceiling.
19:47 gerards let's...
19:47 gerards see...
19:47 gerards I think I want the easy way.
19:48 Denyerec Good :)
19:48 Denyerec do you know how i add a getvar to a Typolink in TS?
19:48 Denyerec I have given it a page ID to go to
19:48 Denyerec but need to add the parameter as an extra
19:49 gerards i think there is a addParams in typolink
19:49 gerards or additionalParams.
19:49 gerards don't make me open tsref.....
19:50 Denyerec I was trying to avoid that myself :)
19:50 gerards sigh.... i'll open it.
19:50 gerards crazy brits.
19:51 gerards typolink.parameter = 55555
19:51 gerards typolink.additionalParams = &camel=1
19:51 gerards try that
19:52 gerards man, its been sometime that I opened tsref... :)
19:52 gerards i forgot how cryptic it is.
19:53 Denyerec Hmm
19:53 Denyerec The tricky thing is
19:53 Denyerec pulp showed me how to get RealURL to deal with the parameter
19:53 Denyerec but if it set, I need it to STAY set
19:53 Denyerec and I don't think it will
19:53 Denyerec let me put everything in place and find out
19:54 gerards ahhh there is a config for that.
19:54 gerards config.linkVars!
19:55 gerards I used it only for the L parameter for multilanguage sites, but it should work for camel too.
19:58 voidus guys..
19:59 gerards hi voidus
19:59 voidus hi gerards
19:59 Denyerec ha bonza gerards
20:00 voidus guys.. somethings strange with my flexforms
20:00 voidus i need to know is it my bug or not
20:00 bedlamhotel Denyerec: that's what I was referring to with my comment about cookies. You want the parameter to stay set, you need to keep track of it somewhere.
20:01 bedlamhotel This is quite an obscure bit, even for the TSref, but it supposedly does explain how to store session data:
20:01 bedlamhotel http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsref/4.0.0/view/14/1/
20:01 gerards bedlamhotel, Denyerec, before you use cookies for that, can you try the config.linkVars? it might be good enough for your needs.
20:02 bedlamhotel Wait, TYPO3 deals with page types by default right? (I.e. it passes &type=14 or whatever once it's set doesn't it?)
20:03 bedlamhotel ...plus there are options in HMENU objects to force page types...
20:03 andreasbalzer guys I have a serious problem
20:04 andreasbalzer I installed T3 4.1 and if I click on the page module and then on a page of the page tree, the site of the right frame is completly white (empty)
20:05 voidus fresh 4.1?
20:05 andreasbalzer no 4.1 over 4.0.5
20:05 voidus i think i know your problem
20:05 voidus you have error output disabled, right?
20:06 andreasbalzer yes
20:06 voidus go to install tool
20:06 andreasbalzer ok
20:06 andreasbalzer moment
20:06 voidus and go through database compare
20:07 andreasbalzer already done
20:07 voidus did you create cache_extension table?
20:07 andreasbalzer i did everything wanted by that tool
20:08 andreasbalzer and i changed T3 install tool version compabilty to 4.1
20:08 voidus hm..
20:08 voidus so you should look into webserver log
20:08 andreasbalzer i just switched sql_debug on but there's no entry
20:08 andreasbalzer ok
20:08 andreasbalzer moment
20:09 voidus or check [SYS][debug]=1
20:10 andreasbalzer in apache log i see lot's of [Fri Mar 23 21:10:11 2007] [crit] (70023)This function has not been implemented on this platform: DBD: failed to initialise
20:10 andreasbalzer and [Fri Mar 23 21:09:24 2007] [notice] child pid 12180 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
20:10 Denyerec My goodness
20:11 Denyerec if it's obscure for TSRef... that makes it positively aztec!
20:12 andreasbalzer the first is in there a few million times i guess..
20:12 gerards Denyerec: does it work?
20:12 andreasbalzer voidus: [Thu Mar 22 20:04:11 2007] [crit] (70023)This function has not been implemented on this platform: DBD: driver for [DBDriver unset] not available
20:13 Denyerec testing now
20:13 Denyerec I am thinking i can use
20:13 andreasbalzer voidus:?
20:13 voidus andreasbalzer: strange..
20:13 voidus never seen
20:13 andreasbalzer hm..
20:13 Denyerec $myData = $GLOBALS["TSFE"]->fe_user->getKey("ses","myData");
20:13 andreasbalzer any idea baout the white page?
20:14 Denyerec but as my site does not use fe users I am not so sure
20:17 bedlamhotel denyerec: I believe--this is kind of fuzzy in my head--that you can do such things with an anonymous FE user somehow.
20:20 Denyerec Ok
20:20 Denyerec that is step 3
20:20 Denyerec I am still on step 2
20:20 Denyerec trying to figure out how to do either an ELSE or a NOT EQUAL in the Typoscript
20:20 bedlamhotel Why?
20:20 Denyerec Cos I need a default case
20:21 bedlamhotel Use a CASE...
20:21 Denyerec if blah = camel
20:21 Denyerec else
20:21 Denyerec M, ok
20:21 uschi use CASE
20:21 uschi ah, already there
20:21 bedlamhotel Besides, didn't I explain this the other day?
20:21 uschi perhaps not to Denyerec, but to me
20:21 bedlamhotel will throw together a quick sample.
20:21 bedlamhotel Not that uschi.
20:22 Denyerec bedlamhotel can you update the TSRef?
20:22 Denyerec the CASE example in there is utterly shite.
20:22 bedlamhotel I AM updating the TSref: typo3apprentice.com
20:22 Denyerec :D
20:22 bedlamhotel :D
20:22 uschi :D
20:23 bedlamhotel but hang on a sec. Default case is dead simple with conditions (and often more economical in terms of code than CASE)
20:23 uschi sometimes the examples are somehow - well - far away from real world
20:23 gerards bedlamhotel is right on that last point of being more simple with normal conditions.
20:24 Denyerec You mean set your default stuaiton, then unset it and alter it within the condition ?
20:25 gerards yep. that sounds a lot easier.
20:25 bedlamhotel Deyerec: yes. But phpfi just ate my sample.
20:25 voidus guys who can check one thing for me?
20:25 gerards I think it reads a lot easier too.
20:26 Denyerec voidus - depends what I need to chedk
20:26 Denyerec if it's the engine on your car, the odds are small
20:26 bedlamhotel CASE can be very useful for some things though (usually when there are multiple possibilities). Check the TV newsgroup for a nested case example I posed a month or so ago.
20:26 voidus Denyerec: do you have 4.1 installation with >=2 extension with flexforms?
20:27 Denyerec nope.
20:27 Denyerec 4.0.4 here
20:27 Denyerec :/
20:27 voidus but do you have >=2 extensions with flexforms?
20:28 Denyerec Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
20:29 Denyerec You know I don't know!
20:29 Denyerec I have URLTool and JP Pageteaser
20:29 Denyerec I think Teaster uses flexforms
20:29 Denyerec I need to install a googlemap plugin, and I'm sure that does
20:29 Denyerec what issue are you looking nto ?
20:29 Denyerec *into
20:30 jav hi there! I'm trying to localize my typo3 website using the 'one-tree' approach and I wonder what's the 'standard' way of localizing the websites title? As I see it, this is set in the template record and I can't not specify different website titles there, can I?
20:30 voidus Denyerec: incorrect XML of plugin flexform
20:30 Denyerec Hmm.
20:30 Denyerec I think you need someone more experienced voidus :(
20:30 voidus jav: you can. you can create 'alternative language' record on each page
20:31 jav voidus, but this is in the template record.. not a 'normal' page
20:31 uschi jav, using tv?
20:31 jav no, I don't
20:32 voidus jav: ah. ok
20:32 uschi but even then your pages have page titles
20:32 jav they have.. but the look like this: <template website title> : <page title> .. I can localize the <page title> thing, that I know .. but what is with the <template website title>
20:33 voidus jav: there is a trick
20:33 voidus jav: you can set config.noTitle or config.noPageTitle, i don't remember
20:33 voidus and then create <title> tag fully customized
20:34 jav I see... and there is really no other way to do this? it seems like a pretty standard request to me .. or maybe people don't localize their 'global' website title
20:35 uschi jav, you could do this by creating a locallang.xml file
20:36 uschi there you put your website title in all the languages you need
20:36 uschi and reference it somewhere in your ts (where the title is build, cannot remember where that is
20:36 uschi perhaps headerData or something like that
20:37 uschi and then say myPageTitle = {LLL:etc
20:37 voidus uschi: or just create an content element and select it using CONTENT or RECORDS
20:37 voidus if so, you don't need to know XML :P
20:38 uschi good idea, or even a HMENU
20:38 jav oh, I see, that sounds good, I'll look into that .. thx uschi and voidus
20:38 uschi there is not a lot to know about those locallang files
20:38 uschi depends on what you want
21:00 brainage hello i need a littel help with ts cause i want to change tt_content.textpic image to something like this >> <a href="link"> <image> <and again same image></a> thnx
21:08 Denyerec uschi
21:08 Denyerec You about ?
21:08 uschi yes?
21:08 uschi about what?
21:09 Denyerec http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsref/4.0.0/view/7/3/
21:09 Denyerec The top entry linkvars
21:09 Denyerec it's a bit vague
21:09 Denyerec This will add "&noframes=[noframes-value]&print=[print-value]" to all links in TYPO3.
21:09 uschi this is exactly what i thought
21:09 Denyerec So it claims. But it doesn't tell me how to specify what noframes-value actually IS
21:09 Denyerec Did you find any answers?
21:09 brainage hello ist there anybody willing to help me ?
21:10 uschi somewhere, i try to remember, where
21:10 uschi Denyerec, i think the point was:
21:11 uschi in linkVars you can list all those GP-vars you want to carry around all the time
21:11 Denyerec brainage - am I to understand you want to repeat the same image twice within the same hyperlink ?
21:11 uschi brainage, i am not sure that i am able to
21:11 brainage yes
21:11 bedlamhotel uschi: I think you're correct about that (config.linkVars).
21:12 Denyerec I still don't understand :/
21:12 bedlamhotel denyerec: don't understand..?
21:12 Denyerec Nope.
21:12 bedlamhotel ...what..?
21:12 Denyerec lnkvars
21:12 uschi lets say you have your language var named L
21:12 uschi if you add it to linkVars it will be always there
21:13 Denyerec But where did L come from ?
21:13 brainage i want to craete a css hover preview like here http://host.sonspring.com/hoverbox/
21:13 uschi ?L=47&print=1
21:13 bedlamhotel Denyerec: Keyboard? Just a guess :)
21:13 Denyerec ok so if you linkvar it then L=47 will be on every link
21:13 Denyerec I understand that bit.
21:13 bedlamhotel Denyerec: the point is that you have to specify something...whatever you want.
21:14 Denyerec What I don't get, is how it gets to be 47
21:14 Denyerec if I wanted to say "Ok, append 47 to every link" from TS
21:14 Denyerec Wait, you know what, I'm running in circles.
21:14 Denyerec I need to figure out what I'm trying to do again
21:14 Denyerec because the odds are I'm simply overlooking it.
21:14 bedlamhotel Denyerec: config.linkVars = 47
21:14 uschi Denyerec, in principle you have a form, lets say a <select name="L"><option value="1">english</option>...
21:14 bedlamhotel It's not dynamic on its own.
21:14 bedlamhotel You have to change the value according to some user interaction/condition/etc.
21:15 uschi this is about the GET-POST-Parameters coming out of forms
21:15 uschi so L is the variable name for your language
21:15 uschi you could call it babylon
21:16 bedlamhotel Or 'babel' :)
21:16 uschi right
21:16 uschi you should not do this with the L for language though
21:16 Denyerec now L is a postvar
21:17 uschi could also be a GET-Var
21:17 Denyerec from a form probably POST, but we'll go with GET cos that's what I'm dealing with at the moment
21:17 bedlamhotel L usually is GET, not POST.
21:17 uschi depends on whether your form uses method="get" or method="post"
21:17 bedlamhotel (outside of forms, of course)
21:17 Denyerec indeed
21:18 uschi why, i can have a form that uses get
21:18 bedlamhotel Yes uschi of course. I just meant that the L var in T3 is usually present in query strings, so it's not a POST var.
21:18 uschi ah
21:19 uschi bedlamhotel, is there a way to restrict a part of the page tree to certain languages?
21:19 brainage no idea ?
21:19 bedlamhotel Denyerec: I think you might have better luck if you decided HOW you want the style switcher to work in general terms, and THEN move on to getting it to work in TYPO3.
21:19 uschi i cannot even find the user settings
21:19 bedlamhotel uschi: define 'restrict'.
21:20 uschi i have some 15 website languages
21:20 uschi i mean in the be, so that users are not confronted with languages they will never need in that part of the page tree
21:21 bedlamhotel Filemount.
21:21 Denyerec Yeah bedlamhotel, I have an idea in my head, just struggling with syntax at the moment.
21:21 Denyerec brb
21:21 Denyerec I thnk it's almost there
21:21 bedlamhotel Uschi: you need to create groups corresponding to languages.
21:21 uschi oh no, please
21:22 bedlamhotel In those groups, set filemounts to the root of the language in question.
21:22 uschi if i have an author who is doing something in several part of the page tree?
21:22 uschi then he/she will see all languages she is allowed to use
21:22 bedlamhotel ...and it doesn't have to be complex. Your language group could do NOTHING but give access to an additional filemount
21:22 uschi filemount or dbmount?
21:23 bedlamhotel Users can belong to multiple groups, and groups can be nested. The trick is to spend a little time designing the group structure.
21:23 uschi why cannot i restrict it through pageTSConfig
21:23 bedlamhotel uschi: sorry, dbmount.
21:24 bedlamhotel Possibly you can--I know quite a bit less about TSconfig than about FE TS.
21:25 uschi i suppose, i am to tired
21:25 bedlamhotel Kind of looks like you can do this with TSconfig.
21:25 bedlamhotel look for 'lang'
21:25 bedlamhotel http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/core-documentation/doc_core_tsconfig/1.0.0/view/1/2/
21:25 uschi i need the name of my ffriend
21:25 bedlamhotel ...under ->SETUP
21:25 bedlamhotel ?
21:26 uschi thats user tsconfig
21:26 bedlamhotel Yes.
21:27 bedlamhotel You can set it on a per-group basis :)
21:28 uschi i would like to have it on a page basis *sniff*
21:29 bedlamhotel More information. What's the issue with doing it with dbmounts?
21:29 uschi i do find this complicated
21:29 uschi because if a user has two language groups
21:30 uschi i have to setup a language group for every f.... portal then
21:31 bedlamhotel But that's a one-time creation of 15 records, right?
21:31 uschi and if a user has a dbmount twice, so i have read, he will see the dbmount twice in the pagetree
21:31 bedlamhotel Seems to happen sometimes, yes. Not sure if that's an 'always happens' or a 'sometimes happens, noone knows why'
21:32 uschi true, but as i told you, the university has tons of be users
21:32 bedlamhotel but surely there are patterns of use that can be collected into groups?
21:32 uschi i hope so, i will have to dig into that one as well
21:32 bedlamhotel You know that groups can be nested, right?
21:33 uschi i do
21:33 uschi theoretically
21:33 Denyerec ok ladies and gents
21:33 Denyerec http://wla.systemcms.com/
21:33 bedlamhotel Do the use cases break cleanly along languages?
21:33 Denyerec I am almost there :)
21:33 Denyerec The text only link certainly sends you to textonly mode with the parameter "sz_mode" set to "text"
21:34 bedlamhotel Wow. "Celebrating the best in Welsh Law"
21:34 Denyerec but the menu links send you right back becuase the param is nor preserved
21:34 Denyerec so presumably this is where linkvars comes in?
21:35 uschi right
21:35 Denyerec so if my parameter is sz_text I set config.linkvars = sz_text
21:35 Denyerec ?
21:35 uschi yes
21:35 bedlamhotel Denyerec: sorry to keep throwing new ideas out about how you might want to approach the thing, but have you thought of making a new LANGUAGE?
21:35 uschi linkVars
21:36 Denyerec Oh man Bedlam you don't wanna start me on localisation at this time of night :)
21:36 Denyerec and I just wanna change thre stylesheet, not translate everything... :)
21:37 bedlamhotel No, I don't want to do that, but there is a TON of overlap between localisation and what you're doing.
21:38 Denyerec Yeah I figure that, using the Get vrs to select certain things from within the setup
21:38 Denyerec such as translations from an XML file etc.
21:38 Denyerec lets hope when I translate this sucker into Welsh that I'm comfortable with it ;)
21:39 Denyerec Ok right :)
21:39 Denyerec It's going to the text only
21:39 Denyerec and it's staying there.
21:40 Denyerec But getting it back OUT is not working, as linkVars means /text/ is now on every link, even the one that's supposed to exit text only mode.
21:40 Denyerec So is it possible to make a typolink that's exempt from linkVars?
21:40 Denyerec Further, what happens if I add linkVars in two places in the TS? Do they get appended to the list, or does it just use the last declaration ?
21:40 uschi hm, i suppose, you need a means of switching back from textmode into normal mode
21:41 bedlamhotel denyerec: unless you're using one of the new TS operators (":=" is the one I think), your second declaration will simply overwrite the first.
21:41 Denyerec Ok bedlam, noted.
21:41 uschi so once a user has chosen textmode, the textmode button should switch to normal mode
21:42 Denyerec So I would need to be careful not to obliterate any language linkvar settings.
21:42 Denyerec yes uschi
21:42 Denyerec as you can see, I can change the parameter with a conditional :)
21:42 Denyerec I mean, the text
21:42 Denyerec but the typolink always gets linkvars stuck to it
21:42 Denyerec Which is, kind of, the point. But... yeah. It would be like returning to the default language I suppose.
21:43 Denyerec I suppose I could return to "gfx" mode /gfx/ and then have a conditional that says if the getvar is gfx, clear linkVars
21:43 Denyerec so subsequent links are clear of parameters
21:45 Denyerec Hmm, that didn't work. Damn is it stubborn.
21:46 Denyerec OHHH BUgger!
21:46 Denyerec Sorry uschi, sorry bedlamhotel :(
21:46 Denyerec A typo :(
21:46 uschi linkVars ???
21:46 bedlamhotel a typo or a typo3?
21:47 uschi shit happens
21:47 uschi i want go back to my book
21:47 Denyerec I promise to leave both of you in peace.
21:47 Denyerec Not peices :)
21:47 uschi *L*
21:48 bedlamhotel Denyerec: I'm probably far enough away to be safe, but thanks :)
21:48 Denyerec Thanks guys, you're always so damn helpful, makes me feel useless :(
21:48 Denyerec well, guys and girls :)
21:48 bedlamhotel Indeed.
21:49 bedlamhotel Typo3 is hard. No getting around it.
21:49 uschi rubbish, Denyerec
21:49 Denyerec You are too kind uschi, as always :P
21:50 gerards I hate typo3...
21:50 uschi it happens at times, gerards
21:51 gerards i wish there were a GLOBALS['TSFE']->doWhatIMean(); function.
21:51 uschi i suppose, now that i have set up my languages i have to try to produce some international pages, right?
21:52 bedlamhotel Haven't you already done that uschi? I thought you were a seasoned um, 'localiser'.
21:52 uschi not in this page
21:53 uschi firefox crash, damn
21:53 bedlamhotel gerards: I've thought of proposing the new ESP cObject. It would be easy to use because it wouldn't need any properties or datatypes...
21:54 bedlamhotel ...it would be difficult to implement in PHP though...
21:54 gerards ;)
21:54 gerards DWIM() would suffice.
21:54 bedlamhotel lib.foo = ESP and the entire site is finished...
21:55 bedlamhotel Hey denyerec, are you still around?
21:55 Denyerec JUST about to go afk
21:55 Denyerec wassup ?
21:56 bedlamhotel Another random thought: did you look at the print page example in FTB before starting this?
21:56 Denyerec Yes I did
21:56 bedlamhotel Ok good.
21:56 uschi i am going to bed
21:56 Denyerec I wasn't overly happy with the way it opened windows.
21:56 Denyerec Wait
21:56 Denyerec wrong tutorial
21:56 uschi reading a book that has nothing to do with typo3
21:56 bedlamhotel Denyerec: absolutely no need for it to open windows...
21:57 Denyerec Yes I did look at it, and yes you're quite right, it's exactly the same challenge pretty much, on a page by page basis.
21:57 bedlamhotel uschi: brilliant idea. Scary.
21:57 Denyerec I think I will revisit it actually.
21:57 bedlamhotel denyerec, you know that you could use it along with a userfunc that set a cookie, right?
21:57 Denyerec Now my text only mode is working, I think I need to pay a little more attention to where these links appear in the source. THey're "OK2" but they're not idea.
21:57 Denyerec *ideal
21:57 bedlamhotel (as a clunky method)
21:57 Denyerec Ohhh, cookie userfunc
21:57 Denyerec yes I saw that in the TSRef
21:57 bedlamhotel did you?
21:58 Denyerec Yeah
21:58 bedlamhotel I was thinking of straight php
21:58 Denyerec http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsref/4.0.0/view/14/1/
21:58 Denyerec there is an example of sorts ther.
21:58 Denyerec e
21:58 bedlamhotel right. I pointed you to that, didn't I? *L*
21:58 Denyerec Indeed :)
21:59 bedlamhotel Are you using that?
21:59 bedlamhotel Weird. Now I'm repeating myself.
22:00 Denyerec It's probably the only way you'll get me to remember things :)
22:00 bedlamhotel Great. Now you'll never forget that I once asked you "Are you using that?"
22:00 Denyerec No I'm not, I don't think it's necessary on this small site, it would be a good idea for a site with recurring visitors / fresh daily content etc
22:00 Denyerec Hahaha
22:01 bedlamhotel seems like a good little extension to write...almost zero php, and a lot of TS. Just my speed :)
22:02 Denyerec I have a list of 3 extensions I would like to write.
22:02 Denyerec I need to pick one and dive in :(
22:02 bedlamhotel Whoops. Time to get out of here. Going to venture into the real world. If you don't hear from me, I've probably drowned in the rain...
22:02 Denyerec :/
22:02 Denyerec Good luck, and thanks once again!
22:02 bedlamhotel ...or been washed into the ocean. NP. Hope the switcher comes together.
22:02 gerards bedlamhotel: have a good weekend pal.
