09:38 LionRock how I should enable html emails in dmailsubscription for every user ? So user does not select html mail with checkbox, but this value is set on 1 by default. Any tip ?
09:47 floppyears hi guys
09:47 Titi Hello friends... I need a help with some issu what I have to do... Shortly - It should be the PDF exporter of the FE pages from BE with selecting the pages which has to be export with another actions (later)
09:47 floppyears I'm interested in applying for the static file caching google summer of code project idea
09:48 Titi 1. Advanced PDF exporter ext,
09:48 floppyears could you guys take a look at the rough draft of my application at: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgffwp9z_54dchmjggp
09:48 Titi 2. BE modul to flag pages for export
09:48 floppyears I was surprised that the template didn't include a timeline :(
09:49 Titi 3. Selecting the record elements to be exported or not
09:55 maholtz|WORK @floppyears: do you have experiences with TYPO3?
09:57 janand anyone working on shop system?
09:58 maholtz|WORK @floppyears: TYPO3 <- not Typo3:)
10:00 floppyears maholtz|WORK: no, I hadn't used it before. I remember taking a look at it a couple of years ago, but my university chose to go with Drupal
10:01 floppyears maholtz|WORK: thanks for the correction :)
10:01 maholtz|WORK @floppyears: in my eyes your draft is ok, but there are some extensions regarding this issue: nc_staticfilecache and fl_staticfilecache
10:01 maholtz|WORK you should go to the newsgroup typo3.gsoc and ask there
10:02 maholtz|WORK and you should take 4.3 from trunk - they introduced an new caching framework
10:04 floppyears maholtz|WORK: thanks, I've watched a podcast that talks about one of the existing extensions that deals with caching
10:04 floppyears from what I've read and learned so far, the existing solutions could use some improvement
10:04 maholtz|WORK good news:)
10:05 floppyears yes, I was planning on sending an email to the typo3-dev mailing list to get some feedback and more ideas from other people
10:05 maholtz|WORK the main issue is IMHO that you could have not cached elements on a page - f.e. pages which depends on usergroups
10:06 floppyears is that the right place to ask for feedback or would you suggest to instead use the typo3.gsoc newsgroup ?
10:06 maholtz|WORK both:)
10:07 maholtz|WORK in gsoc there are some of the core-devs who would be probably your mentor
10:08 floppyears thanks a lot maholtz|WORK , are you a TYPO3 user or dev ?
10:08 maholtz|WORK DEV but not core-dev
10:12 beli moin folks :)
10:12 maholtz|WORK moin beli
10:14 beli let me tell you, that if you wanna do rewrites...always set your domain first in typo3 :)
10:14 beli maholtz|WORK: a bit offtopic....can you tell me howto reload a page after a submit button has been clicked on? some told me to add action="" ,but my dropdown lists arent updated
10:16 maholtz|WORK @beli: you have a <form> around?
10:16 beli sure
10:16 maholtz|WORK and <input type="submit"> does not work?
10:17 beli the submit does work
10:18 beli i have <form action="admin_group.php" method="post">
10:18 beli and the submit button is:
10:18 beli <input type="submit" action="" value="Gruppe erstellen"><
10:18 maholtz|WORK what does not work?
10:18 beli the file name is admin_group.php
10:18 beli the stuff is inserted into db tables correctly
10:18 beli but my drop down fields are not updated
10:19 beli i have functions to: create_group, rename_group, delete_group
10:20 maholtz|WORK paste your code in pastebin...
10:20 beli and the rename_group has drop down list to select the group to rename....after creating a group the newly created group isnt in the list.....if i reload the page its there
10:20 beli maholtz|WORK: its too ugly :)
10:20 maholtz|WORK its allways;) than make it nice - perhaps it works after that *g*
10:24 beli maholtz|WORK: -> query
10:32 milpoer hi folks.. I have a problem with my Kickstart, when creating a plugin and click "view result" and "write" the i got: "MD5 was different from the original files MD5 - so the file is corrupted!" on various of the files edited. I found some hint on an erlier version that said that it had been a problem but i run the latest version, so i should be corrected.. any hints ?
10:34 Titi Hello friends... I need a help with some issu what I have to do... Shortly - It should be the PDF exporter of the FE pages from BE with selecting the pages which has to be export with another actions (later)
10:34 Titi 1. Advanced PDF exporter ext,

10:36 smeringe Titi: ehm. it's echoing a bit in here.. anyway.. what's your actual question?
10:38 Titi smeringe, I need the PDF exporter of the FE pages serving from the BE

11:14 beli never used it
11:14 janand ok
11:15 milpoer janand: i have used it..
11:15 janand can you tell how to integrate in in typo3
11:16 janand which typo3 version should be used?

11:17 janand does shop system runs ok in latest stable
11:17 janand i am using 3.8
11:17 milpoer for me it does.
11:17 janand do have any link for integration
11:18 janand @milpoer:i want to integrate custom templates in my project
11:18 milpoer im not sure i know what you mean?
11:20 janand @milpoer:i have some custom templates other than the ones in extension folder
11:20 milpoer yes
11:20 milpoer you have setup you own "looK" for tt_products ?
11:20 janand @milpoer:i want to integrate those
11:21 janand yes
11:21 milpoer then you have to select which extension when you install tt_products.
11:21 milpoer 2 sec.
11:22 milpoer Have you read the manual ? http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/tt_products/2.5.11/view/1/5/
11:24 janand @milpoer
11:24 janand just a sec
11:25 janand @milpoer:yes
11:25 janand @milpoer: i went through it but unable to configure
11:25 milpoer it says how to your own templates.
11:27 milpoer janand: afk for 45 min..
11:30 janand @milpoer:afk?
11:32 LionRock is possible to filter items in BE ? I have a lot of items that are grouped by country, and now I want to list items just from one country
11:33 maholtz|WORK @janand: away from keyboard
11:37 fred^ How do you guys handle tt_news cache clearing?
11:38 maholtz|WORK TCEMAIN.clearCacheCmd
11:38 fred^ Right now I am just clearing cache for all pages on every change in the news storagefolder
11:38 fred^ Im not sure if thats a good idea
11:38 maholtz|WORK nope, its a bad idea:)
11:38 fred^ Yes :)
11:39 fred^ Hows your setup?
11:39 maholtz|WORK you could use TCEMAIN.clearCacheCmd = list,of,pages,where,the,cache,should,be,cleared
11:39 maholtz|WORK put that on the pages where a news-item could be edited
11:40 fred^ That actually means most pages
11:40 fred^ Which is basicly the problem
11:40 fred^ Im looking into the ext ttnewscache now
11:40 maholtz|WORK if you have something like a short list in the right side, you could make them COA_INT
11:40 maholtz|WORK depends on traffic and server
11:50 lous hi all
11:51 lilalinux I'm looking for a tutorial for extension caching. I have an extension with a custom table and a template that generates an RSS feed. The RSS Feed depends on 3 variables and of course on it's table.
11:52 lilalinux I would like to cache one instance for each combination of the 3 variables and clear the cache only if the table changes
11:58 lilalinux ok, the variables are automatically taken into account, if typolink.useCacheHash=1
11:59 lilalinux now, how do I clear the cache, if the table changes?
11:59 milpoer janand: away from keyboard :)
12:05 janand @miloper:are you back :)
12:16 lilalinux maholtz|WORK: do you know when the cache is cleared? I have a custom table and want to clear all caches of pages of type=123 if any modification is made to the table
12:16 lilalinux preferrably using only typoscript
12:16 maholtz|WORK not possible
12:16 maholtz|WORK usually the cache of an page is cleared if you edit an element on that page
12:17 maholtz|WORK imho you cannot clear cache depending on type with the api
12:17 maholtz|WORK and in 4.3 there is a new caching framework too
12:17 maholtz|WORK so... it will change
12:17 maholtz|WORK afk
12:18 lilalinux is it possible to clear all caches on change of a given table?
12:32 ManDay Hello, t3lib_div::getUserObj does not work for me. Upon call it includes "itemMakerExtension.php" as required, but print_r'ing it's output returns nothing. Calling Sequence t3lib_div::getUserObj("EXT:tt_kiwinews/itemMarkerExtension.php:kiwinews_mainHook")
12:36 ManDay It returns FALSE in fact
12:37 ManDay Is getUserObj supposed to return FALSE?
12:37 ManDay jeez christ
12:37 ManDay i think some fool
12:37 ManDay ok... got the problem
12:37 ManDay (at least i hope so)
12:38 ManDay No, it still returns FALSE upon call
12:41 Millers Hey
12:41 Millers Hello ?!?
12:41 ManDay hi
12:42 Millers I need some help. :D
12:42 Millers :O
12:44 lilalinux Millers: don't ask to ask, just ask
12:45 lilalinux 4 lines, 0 information
12:45 Millers yes becouse no one is answeing
12:45 ManDay wtf
12:45 ManDay even t3lib_div::makeinstance tries to convert the object i pass to a string
12:46 ManDay ah nvm
12:47 lilalinux welcome to the world of typeless programming languages :-)
12:53 lilalinux maholtz|WORK: FYI: it seems like qfqbe "DB Integration" has such a functionality
12:58 lilalinux forget that
13:03 LionRock is possible to filter items in BE ? I have a lot of items that are grouped by country, and now I want to list items just from one country
13:23 HardPhuck me hates IE :)
13:29 HardPhuck i found a good framework to start with
13:30 HardPhuck at least something
13:30 HardPhuck saves me a lot of time
13:31 LionRock HardPhuck and this is ?
13:31 HardPhuck http://webhost.bridgew.edu/etribou/layouts/skidoo_redux/lean/
13:31 HardPhuck pretty useful
13:31 beli HardPhuck: a framework to do what?
13:31 HardPhuck a basic html plus 3 css files
13:32 HardPhuck more a template than a framework really
13:33 HardPhuck but i like it because it's not too bloated
13:34 nkuttler i like http://960.gs
13:37 HardPhuck used blueprint for grids once
13:38 HardPhuck are grids any useful?
13:38 HardPhuck i mean i used it for one simple project, so no in-depth stuff yet
13:40 HardPhuck ah i c, 960 because that is the width of the template
13:42 smeringe I've tried yahoo's grid thingie once. pritty smart setup, but felt a bit bloated and we never got really good friends..
13:43 nkuttler i find grids very useful
13:43 nkuttler and 960 is really lean
13:45 smeringe yeah. 960 seems good. should try it
13:48 HardPhuck i'll try it on my next project then
13:56 razer hi
13:57 razer does anybody know what the moved permanently flag in realurl management mean?
14:10 maholtz|WORK @razer: check HTTP-Header - i would assume that the header said "moved permanently"
14:32 razer maholtz|WORK, ah ok thx
14:35 lous does anyone use mc_googlesitemap ?
14:38 lous cause in my xml for my news i get stuff like that
14:38 lous array_merge() [
14:38 lous <a href="function.array-merge">function.array-merge</a>
14:38 lous and so on
14:45 HardPhuck i use dd_googlesitemap
14:46 lous its better?
14:46 janand hi all
14:46 lous hi
14:47 janand anyone working with tt_products shop system
14:48 SmaxTheFrog hi, suddenly my web displays always only the startpage for every menu entry ?id=xy is totally ignored - any idea ?
14:50 lilalinux Is there a list of reserver type ids?
14:50 LionRock is possible to filter items in BE ? I have a lot of items that are grouped by country, and now I want to list items just from one country
14:50 lilalinux s/reserver/reserved
14:50 lilalinux LionRock: putting them on different pages is not an option?
14:52 LionRock no :/ Because than there would be a lot of pages and it would be a mess and I dont want that because Im shure that my customer will have negative comment on that :/
15:03 chunmun hey..
15:03 chunmun any gsoc mentors around?
15:23 maholtz|WORK @chunmun: perhaps someone can answer even if he is not an mentor... otherwise post to newsgroup
15:26 chunmun maholtz|WORK: well I was actually interested in apping for the openId proposal .. but kinda short of time rt now . *if* there is an extension, i would like to work upon a proposal
15:26 chunmun so was just wondering upon the number of proposals for openid in typo3
15:27 janand any help for tt_products?
15:29 maholtz|WORK @chunmun: i only see one proposal for openID: http://typo3.org/development/gsoc2009/ideas/openid-for-typo3-frontend/
15:34 chunmun maholtz|WORK: I ve experience with openId, unfortunately lil familiarity with typo3 codebase as of now to put in a proposal.. can put in one only if there is an extension..
16:37 Bluespuke how can i use a custom template for tt_news?
16:37 smeringe yes
16:38 smeringe ops
16:38 smeringe :D
16:38 Bluespuke plugin.tt_news.templateFile = fileadmin/templates/tt_news/tt_news.html doesnt seem to work :(
16:39 _pedda_ Bluespuke: but this should do the job!
16:39 smeringe I usually add it directly to the plugin on the page
16:39 Bluespuke yeah but nothing happens :(
16:40 _pedda_ it is overwritten somwhere else then
16:40 smeringe plugin.tt_news.file.templateFile should me correct I think?
16:40 _pedda_ which version of tt_news ?
16:40 _pedda_ probably he has missed out to unset the templatefile in flexforms which is set by default if a plugin is inserted on a page
16:41 Bluespuke *doh*
16:41 _pedda_ ;)
16:41 _pedda_ got ya!
16:41 Bluespuke the plugin was loading the EXT:tt_news template :(
16:41 _pedda_ hihi
16:41 Bluespuke damn...
16:41 _pedda_ unset it..
16:41 _pedda_ np..
16:41 Bluespuke sorry guys
16:41 smeringe np
16:42 _pedda_ took me some time to recognize this too...
16:51 fred^ I have config.locale_all correctly set, but Calendar Base does not listen to this and shows in english
16:51 fred^ That is totally a bummer
16:54 maholtz|WORK what means "correct"?
16:54 pmk65 fred^: and does the ext have a translation in the language you want?
16:55 pmk65 some ext requires that you update the language using theEM, after the ext is installed.
16:56 ghost2008 hello
16:56 ghost2008 first time I am here...
16:56 ghost2008 have some wuestions about GSoC
16:56 ghost2008 First am I right to post them here?
17:00 _pedda_ cu all
17:00 chunmun ghost2008: guess so.. go ahead.. am not an authority.. but dont ask to ask.. just ask!
17:00 _pedda_ gho
17:00 _pedda_ OH
17:00 _pedda_ hmpf
17:00 _pedda_ my keyboard su**s
17:26 _ramo Hi
17:30 fred^ maholtz|WORK: correct as in referencing the right locale name, no_NB. tt_news and other extensions are in norwegian, same with dates. i also have downloaded the translation through the EM
17:30 _ramo i got the problem, that this snippet doesn't work for me: http://rafb.net/p/7ZaW4q99.html . i'm working with typo3 version 4.2.6 . I can't see anything on my page, there is no menu... i created 5 pages with the "Function" functionallity and the page-id i want the menu to be shown is 3. if i do something like localhost:/cms/index.php?id=3 there is nothing to see. any hints?
17:30 fred^ i can see and open the xml files in the l10n directory
17:32 maholtz|WORK @_ramo: 3 = TMENU means, you defined the third menu level - but there is then 2 and 1 missing
17:32 maholtz|WORK and dont use "seite" but "page" - thats best practice
17:33 maholtz|WORK (for typeNum 0)
17:33 maholtz|WORK if you want only to show the menu on page id 3, you have to work with conditions or if-statement or extended-typoscript-template
17:34 maholtz|WORK @_ramo: perhaps http://wiki.typo3.org/De:ts45min helps to understand
17:34 _ramo maholtz|WORK: thank you. this is all new to me an i'm working with a tutorial from 2004... this codesnippet was from this tutorial
17:35 maholtz|WORK which tutorial?
17:35 maholtz|WORK dont believe with "seite" etc.
17:35 _ramo from Robert Meyer
17:35 _ramo "Grundlagenwissen Typo3 Version 3.6.2 Deutsche Typo3-Dokumentation"
17:36 _ramo but your hint look quite good
17:36 maholtz|WORK well, perhaps not for starting
17:36 maholtz|WORK perhaps this is more usefull: http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/tutorials/doc_tut_templsel_de/current/
17:37 _ramo the syntax is okay, it's not that hard to understand.
17:41 _ramo the tsreferences are a bit mor weird for me to find...
17:53 maholtz|WORK @_ramo: they are references... but you are right, its difficul.. so add to the wiki what you need there:)
17:53 _ramo :)
17:53 maholtz|WORK you could use discussion on the 45 minutes typoscript
17:53 maholtz|WORK or make an note direct in there
17:53 _ramo this wiki is from 2004, why isn't there a actual one?
17:54 maholtz|WORK wiki from 2004?
17:54 maholtz|WORK well, change it:)
17:54 _ramo Moderne Templateerstellung, Teil1 - last update: 10.10.2004 22:32 :)
17:54 maholtz|WORK there are not enough newbies which are writing the docs:)
17:55 maholtz|WORK does not matter
17:55 maholtz|WORK basics didnt change
17:55 _ramo okay
17:56 _ramo maholtz|WORK: the use meineseite instead of page too :)
17:57 maholtz|WORK hehe, you could change that:) please *g*
17:57 maholtz|WORK hm
17:57 maholtz|WORK or wait
18:18 tomsdale If you create a custom menu in the Constant editor - Is there a way to influence the order of appearance?
18:26 tomsdale I got it - you can add numbers afer cat=category/group/sorting
18:29 nightclaw hi there, can anyone suggest a good tutorial/how-to for building a Typoscript only template?
18:35 lous hi all
18:36 teppi|work nightclaw, what do you mean with typoscript only template?
18:36 teppi|work without html template files?
18:36 nightclaw teppi|work: yes
18:37 nightclaw to be precise i don't understand yet how the cascading works
18:37 nightclaw and need some examples therefore
18:42 teppi|work nightclaw, maybe this is a good starting point: http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/De:TSref#Standard_Templates
18:43 teppi|work especially http://wiki.typo3.org/De:ts45min
18:45 nightclaw ok this looks good, the book i'm relying on was a bit brief on TS-only templates. thanks
18:52 lous woohooo lilalinux indexed search is working :)
18:55 lilalinux lous: incredible
18:56 lous ya :)
18:56 lilalinux _pedda_: told me that he got feedback from the developers that his problem is a bug
18:56 lous really?
18:56 lous my prob was my tt_news setup :D
18:56 lous and realurl didnt show the chash thing
18:57 lous after i fixed it, indexed_search directly starts to work :D
18:57 lous anyway im really happy bout that
18:57 lous next step will be tt_products
18:59 lilalinux lous: document that somewhere in the wiki
18:59 nightclaw how can i wrap a complete page in divs to achieve containers? this is not really possible with 10.wrap = <div id="bla"> | </div> right?this is the point i need to use casading e.g. 10.value > complete_page.something and so on
19:01 lous lilalinux: you think thats really necessary? I mean that was a stupid mistake of mine, im sure the rest knows it :D
19:01 lilalinux lous: apparently noone answered your questions in here the last days
19:02 lous hm ye thats true, ok i will try it later, you got a link to the wiki? i dont know which wiki you mean, cause some t3 communitys got their own wiki
19:18 fred^ Any of you use the calendar extesion?
19:18 fred^ cal
19:21 lilalinux lous: http://wiki.typo3.org/Main_Page
19:21 lilalinux put it somewhere, where google can find it :-)
19:22 lilalinux witht the keywords you searched for
19:29 Thomas_ hello
19:29 Thomas_ can someone please help me to set up my content slide right?
19:30 Thomas_ I've tried styles.content.getRight.slide = -1 but it's not working
19:30 Thomas_ tryed
19:43 nightclaw yeah i created my first TS template (just wanted to share)
19:57 Thomas_ can someone help me please with content slide?
19:59 lilalinux nightclaw: gz

20:09 drindt i experience a weird behavior iam using typos original .htaccess, but when i request mydomain.com/robots.txt i get the welcome page instead. whats wrong?
20:13 Thomas_ can someone help me with content slide please?
20:13 nightclaw lilalinux: how modular do you create your templates?
20:21 nightclaw hmm why does my index page not show up in my TMENU
20:23 nightclaw http://nopaste.at/1c7691ca0a
20:23 nightclaw my TS
20:23 lilalinux nightclaw: I create several COA templates per table and use them for CONTENT.renderObj
20:24 lilalinux even nested
20:24 nightclaw per table?
20:24 lilalinux nightclaw: I use custom tables for e.g. events
20:26 nightclaw have a link to one of you sites at hand?
20:26 lilalinux http://www.georg-martin.de/
20:27 lilalinux I try to do most things on my own and try not use too many depencies
20:28 lilalinux ...not to use...
20:29 lilalinux and I hate to pollute tt_content with stuff that doesn't belong there :-)
20:30 nightclaw so you TS setup contains lots of > includes? like header, breadcrumb, menu, and so on?
20:30 nightclaw how do you divide the content in the bottom part into columns?
20:31 nightclaw ah tables i see
20:32 lilalinux brb
20:39 lous ahhhh im getting soo crazy of indexed search
20:41 Thomas_ can someone help me with content sliding please?
20:58 lilalinux nightclaw: yeah, the tables suck, I know
20:58 nightclaw i did not intend to offend you
20:59 lilalinux but you were right :-)
20:59 nightclaw but i cannot imagine how to use css grid layouts in the typo backend
20:59 lilalinux nightclaw: in that place I guess a FCE would be the way to go
20:59 nightclaw i mean you have get getleft getright getborder, but thats only 4 content areas
21:00 nightclaw FCE is what?
21:00 nightclaw something about frontend editing?
21:00 tomsdale Flexible Content Element
21:01 lilalinux nightclaw: you create a template via TamplaVoila not for a whole page, but just for a record
21:01 lilalinux never used that myself though
21:01 tomsdale I'm missing something but I'm not getting it - my tt_news markers and my indexed search are still in English - my dates are in German.
21:01 Thomas_ can someone please help me with content sliding? so that I have same content on each page
21:02 lilalinux Thomas_: do you use TemplaVoila?
21:02 tomsdale nightclaw: there is a similar extension for the classic page module - look for extensions from Bernhardt Kraft.
21:02 Thomas_ lilalinux: yes I do
21:02 lilalinux Thomas_: TV doesn't support sliding out of the box
21:02 nightclaw tomsdale: thanks but i am trying to understand basics in templating right now, so css grid layouts have to wait a while
21:02 RoyalKnight Thomas_: you need a plugin
21:03 lilalinux but it's possible
21:03 Thomas_ with an extension?
21:03 RoyalKnight Thomas_: tvcontentslide or similar named
21:03 Thomas_ ok thanks, I try
21:03 lilalinux Thomas_: but there are other options
21:03 lilalinux instead of slide
21:03 Thomas_ with typoscript?
21:03 tomsdale nightclaw: you don't want to use templavoila?
21:03 lilalinux e.g. you can use a TSOB
21:03 Thomas_ but my left and right are content elements
21:04 nightclaw tomsdale: no i'm learning typoscript from scratch so why bother with TV?
21:04 RoyalKnight Thomas_: cab_tv_getcontentparts
21:04 lilalinux Thomas_: yes, you choose an element in TV and set it's editing type to TypoScript Object Path
21:04 lilalinux just like menus
21:04 tomsdale nightclaw: true - a good understanding of typoscript will bring you a long way.
21:04 lilalinux and then you assign whatever should be displayed at that position to that identifier
21:05 Thomas_ RoyalKnight: thanks
21:05 Thomas_ I think I first try the TV variant
21:05 lilalinux but beware
21:05 nightclaw and right now i'm confused but i seem to be on the right way with all the templating
21:05 lilalinux I would never ever touch TV's xml templates manually
21:05 RoyalKnight lilalinux: why not?
21:06 Thomas_ lilalinux if I change to TSOB then it isn't content element anymore
21:06 Thomas_ and I have placed some FCEs on my left and right
21:06 nightclaw tomorow i will try to get some extension templates for menu and sidebars running
21:06 lilalinux Thomas_: why?
21:06 tomsdale definitely - did you read throught the modern template tut. There is also a typoscript in 45 minutes lecture in the wiki.
21:06 lilalinux you can use TypoScripts RECORD or CONTENT functionality
21:06 Thomas_ you mean I should change the "Editing Type" in TV from my template?
21:06 lilalinux to select regular content elements
21:06 lilalinux yes
21:07 lilalinux if you want an object globally in the same place
21:07 Thomas_ hm but then it's not possible anymore to put content in it via the BE?
21:07 tomsdale I find typo3 tuts sometimes really long and I sometimes have to read them several times. I find t\hey are quite dense with information
21:07 lilalinux Thomas_: http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/De:TSref/RECORDS
21:08 lilalinux Thomas_: of course it is
21:08 lilalinux e.g. you create the elements on a sysfolder
21:08 lilalinux or any other page
21:08 lilalinux then you use http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/De:TSref/RECORDS to select these records and put it into the TSOP
21:09 lilalinux I use it e.g. for the logo
21:09 nightclaw tomsdale: i did look into it today, i've got the typo3 book by altmann,fritz here and am working it through, but TS templates are explained on like 2 pages
21:09 Thomas_ ok thanks alot! I'll try it now :)
21:10 tomsdale I found my error - I had config.config.sys_language_id = de . Oh man!!
21:11 lilalinux that's good as default
21:11 lilalinux but you should have another one conditionally
21:11 tomsdale the most stupid errors take most of the time to get found ...
21:11 nightclaw how long have you all been working with typo?
21:12 tomsdale personally probably 2 years now.
21:12 nightclaw on professional level or hobby?
21:12 lilalinux nightclaw: since november
21:13 tomsdale started as a hobby for me but now it's professional. But I had no clue about web technologies back then.
21:14 tomsdale I think it took me 3 month to build my first site for a church :-)
21:14 nightclaw building like building from scratch all by yourself or using something premade?
21:15 tomsdale Don't let that discourage you !! - If you already bought a book your on the right track and you'll make good progress.
21:15 nightclaw i started 2 years ago with yaml premade and added only content and never really understood the whole TS thing, so i had to drop typo3 when i was getting serious about the homepage
21:16 tomsdale From scratch with the modern template building. I even didn't know css back then.
21:16 nightclaw i then tried building the page with movable type, but now i miss the flexibility of typo and coming back
21:17 tomsdale yaml is ok, at least you have something that works out of the box and you can learn a lot about TS from the extension from Dieter Bunkert
21:17 nightclaw learned a lesson, a blog is a blog and a CMS is a CMS, though
21:17 tomsdale ur good in php programming?
21:17 nightclaw not at all
21:17 nightclaw i mean i understand it when reading, but never ever did php coding myself
21:18 tomsdale Didn't have any idea of PHP either back then so that's why I actually invested into T3 - TS is much easier to learn than PHP :-)
21:18 nightclaw hehe
21:18 nightclaw at least i understand html and css by now, so that i am able to understand which part of the css layout does what
21:19 tomsdale I never tried movable type. My experience is though that with each Typo3 site I learn something new and the process gets less and less painful and more fun
21:19 nightclaw quite usefull when you start dividing the html into chunks of template
21:19 tomsdale indeed - that's actually what yaml implements really well out of the box.
21:20 nightclaw when i switched to movable i thought it looked sexy and had trackbacks and all the 2.0 stuff
21:22 tomsdale yeah - that's what I sometimes miss too in typo3. It definately is not very userfriendly for people who don't work with it on a regular basis.
21:23 tomsdale There was a good talk at the T3CON08 about usability in the backend. Let's all hope for v5...
21:25 nightclaw hmm i think i made an error when i created my base template
21:38 timdeluxe floppyears: are you there?
