09:27 foool can anyone give me a step by step on symlink if I put the paths in http://paste.phlogi.net/
09:29 dinsdale07 foool: how to create symlinks?
09:29 foool i can't get my head around it.
09:31 dinsdale07 maybe this helps, it's for typo3 on ispconfig, an admin panel but the symlink part at the end is for any installation
09:31 dinsdale07 http://www.howtoforge.com/typo3_on_ispconfig
09:43 foool are you there dinsdale07
09:47 dinsdale07 yep, still here. Did it help:
09:53 foool i am a dummy: i have installed files in the dummy package to dir silverfeet dir and opened it. I have a installation in the public_html, which works. (see http://www.phlogi.net/t3/tspastebin/showPost/symlink/) I need also to put a symlink to /silverfeet installation.
09:56 dinsdale07 so you want to use the code base of the first installation now in a second installation which is in /silverfeet?
09:56 foool yes
09:58 d|g hi all
09:59 dinsdale07 ok, the easiest is, in this silverfeet directory you create symlinks called typo3 misc and t3lib pointing to the directories in the codebase that works.
10:00 dinsdale07 if you look into the man page of ln (man ln)
10:00 dinsdale07 we use the 3rd form
10:00 dinsdale07 ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY (3rd form)
10:01 dinsdale07 inside silverfeet that would look something like this: ln -s typo3 ../../typo3
10:02 dinsdale07 the last argument you just have to browse (with tab completion) to the directory where the typo3 source files are stored.
10:03 dinsdale07 hi d|g
10:04 d|g dinsdale07 hi
10:06 dinsdale07 foool - I appologize, the command is ln -s ../../typo3 typo3, just switch the arguments around.
10:11 dinsdale07 are there any tips from extensions developers out there how to get started - something that helped them?
10:18 foool dinsdale07 - do i have to do the same for the other dirs i.e. fileadmin etc?
10:18 d|g dinsdale07 http://typo3.org/documentation/videos/wmv-format/#c2375
10:18 foool or just typo3 dir
10:19 dinsdale07 no, just for typo3 misc and t3lib
10:20 foool what does the misc mean
10:20 dinsdale07 I would recommend to move the typo3 code base completely out of your projects so it's not reachable through httpd. Also for your first project
10:22 foool oh! careful I am lost already hahaha!!
10:25 foool okdid ln -s ../../typo3 typo3 and ln -s ../../typo3 t3lib in silverfeet dir i that all
10:31 dinsdale08 thx @ d|g for the vid - looks interesting but crashed my system the 1st time :-)
10:33 dinsdale08 is this Kasper holding the tut?
12:10 foool hi can i copy a symlink to another dire?
12:30 dinsdale08 I think so but it's easier to create a new one
12:54 dinsdale08 I got a google pagerank of 4 over night on my webpage and I don't know how ???
13:00 foool whers your page?
13:01 dinsdale08 www.avecstyle.ca
13:01 dinsdale08 I did certainly not deserve it ...
15:39 davidbrunnthaler is there a way to find out which frontend-user is logged in? especially in an extension?
15:43 davidbrunnthaler stupid me. found out by myself
15:43 davidbrunnthaler $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->user['uid']
17:03 Guest65497 hello is there a way to have some kind of subfolders for the resources section of a page, and to seperatly use files from different folders in the Template ?
20:30 otu hi! i have been setting up tt_news but i can't get the category links to work.
20:32 otu I set up an archive page and i have an archive category but in the amenu, the link goes the archive page but the page is empty...:-(
20:33 otu extensive consultation with the oracles AKA google as well as the manual haven't brought me any closer to a solution. anyone able to give me some pointers?
21:20 Phlogi otu: on that page you inserted the plugin?
21:20 Phlogi Did you set all the needed pid's in constants?
21:23 otu Phlogi: i set the pid_list and the single pid in constant editor.
21:24 Phlogi The PID of the page with a LIST element that displays only archived news items. This link appears at the bottom of the 'LATEST template and it is also used for the links in the AMENU
21:24 Phlogi otu: and the archive link parameter?
21:25 otu Phlogi: i set that as well.
21:25 Phlogi and you inserted the plugin on the page?
21:26 Phlogi with amenu maybe and at least list?
21:27 otu Phlogi: looking at my original question, its not an amenu but the catmenu thats not working. the amenu is working fine.
21:27 Phlogi otu: ah oops, sorry
21:27 Phlogi then I have no idea :)
21:28 otu that sucks :(
21:28 Phlogi sorry
21:29 otu its cool :)
21:29 otu back to the drawing board
21:29 otu Phlogi: do u use tt_news?
21:33 otu if so then i have one more question. how to disable the teaser text from showing up in SINGLE view. its annoying to have a paragraph appear on the same page.
21:33 otu twice
21:39 Phlogi otu: yes
21:40 Phlogi edit your template I geuss
21:40 Phlogi guess
21:44 otu ok. i will dig around the ext folder tonight and will be back tomorrow if i get stuck. typo3 documentation is sparse and it feels like am fighting a losing battle
21:45 otu thanks for ur help.
21:45 otu its not easy to get a response on this channel
22:19 ddoesburg Hi otu. What's the problem?
22:20 otu ddoesburg: hi! am trying to configure tt_news with catmenu. the links in catmenu aren't working. amenu works fine though.
22:21 ddoesburg aren't working
22:21 ddoesburg Do you pay them?
22:22 ddoesburg No kidding otu
22:22 ddoesburg You lnow about the 3 or 4 possible stdes?
22:22 ddoesburg Wait. I've to look in the big manual
22:24 ddoesburg 4 stages
22:24 ddoesburg Have you read the manual?
22:26 ddoesburg Hello otu? Are you there?
22:27 otu am looking at it right now.
22:27 ddoesburg OK
22:27 otu been looking at it for the last one hour
22:27 ddoesburg Sorry. No kidding means No, just kidding
22:28 otu i got that. its just that its supposed to tell u in a logical manner how to get from A to B. it just defines what u see in the browser.
22:29 otu whats the 4 stages?
22:30 ddoesburg the way tt_news uses the categories. Between on display at all to display and link to special page.
22:30 ddoesburg You can set ik in TS but also in the plugin on the page
22:31 ddoesburg Don't display at all
22:31 ddoesburg Display but no link
22:31 ddoesburg Act as link to category shortcut
22:31 ddoesburg Act as category selector
22:34 ddoesburg do you see a catmenu on frontend?
22:35 otu yes, i do
22:36 otu I know its something minor. but for the life of me i cant figure out what i have or havent done
22:39 otu it seems noone in here uses a catmenu.
22:41 ddoesburg O yes. I've used is sometimes
22:42 otu i set up the category and i point the single view page to the page with the list view right?
22:43 otu so it should just take that link and load the page
22:43 ddoesburg No
22:43 otu what am i doing wrong?
22:43 ddoesburg What does he do without a single page and without a list page?
22:44 ddoesburg Add also a list in the selection screen
22:51 otu ok. just to recap. i make a category pointing to the category list page using the single view page option. this single view page contains a list display right?
22:54 ddoesburg ???
22:55 ddoesburg Set the plugin on a page
22:55 ddoesburg Select CATMEN and LIST
22:55 ddoesburg Set the startpoint to the page with menuitems
22:56 ddoesburg For sure, set the Globale Storage of the PAGE to that same sysfolder with the categories
22:57 ddoesburg Set on the 2th or 2th tab the right choise for the categorie
22:57 ddoesburg 2th or 3th
22:58 ddoesburg What happens now?
22:59 otu let me try all that. give me a sec
23:03 otu there is no option to set global storage of the page. all there is a starting point.
23:03 ddoesburg ON THE PAGE! Not on the plugin
23:03 otu oh
23:04 otu no difference.
23:04 ddoesburg What?
23:05 ddoesburg You see the catmenu?
23:05 otu yes i see it.
23:05 ddoesburg But they are no links?
23:06 otu it has active links but they point to the same page
23:06 ddoesburg OK
23:06 ddoesburg What happens if you click on those links?
23:07 otu the page reloads and nothing changes
23:07 ddoesburg OK. So thats a big step for mankind
23:07 ddoesburg They work!
23:08 ddoesburg Make a new page with the plugin for list
23:08 ddoesburg On those page remove the LIST and point the listpage to your new page
23:13 otu its hopeless.
23:14 otu i have been doing this for 4 hours and nothing works. its fine. thank u for ur help
23:14 otu sorry to have bothered
23:14 otu u
23:18 ddoesburg No problem
23:18 ddoesburg But it must be something little.

23:21 ddoesburg And thats why I like to help you
23:22 otu ok. I will read the manual from page to page. try it and then let u know tomorrow.
23:23 otu i mean from cover to cover and see if i missed something
23:23 ddoesburg Today I spoke a guy in Thailand. He had connections to america, australia, europ. Only not to Africa
23:23 otu africa is not on the IT map.
23:24 ddoesburg But that will not stay for long.
23:25 ddoesburg On the conferences I see from time to time some african people
