02:22 Denyerec hey gerards
02:22 Denyerec Frontend Editiong would be OK if it wasn't for that shitty popup that flickrs all over the place...
09:43 PiMB dudes!
09:43 PiMB morning
12:55 Recnelis Hey guys, a upgrade of typo3 from version 4.2.3 to 4.3 - Is it a big operation? Or fairly unproblematic?
12:56 Recnelis Or should I upgrade to 4.2.10 first and then to 4.3?
13:05 Recnelis Netsplit :/
13:05 Recnelis Hey guys, a upgrade of typo3 from version 4.2.3 to 4.3 - Is it a big operation? Or fairly unproblematic? Or should I upgrade to 4.2.10 first and then to 4.3?
13:06 Recnelis Asking again in case it never got here :)
13:19 }ls{ Is TemplaVoila in typo3 V4.3 still recommened, or is there a newer approach?
13:26 Recnelis }ls{: I haven't heard of any new approach so I do believe this is still the way to go
13:26 }ls{ thanks. Recnelis
13:27 PiMB Recnelis I have done botht he upgrades. but I think that it's best to go via 4.2.10 just for good measures
13:28 Recnelis So upgrade to 4.2.10 and then to 4.3 just to be safe?
13:28 PiMB I guess
13:29 PiMB although i've done 4.2.6 to 4.3 without to much trouble
13:29 Recnelis Define trouble?
13:30 Recnelis Don't wanna spend hours fixing problems :p
13:31 Recnelis I remember 4.1 to 4.2 was a paining
13:32 Recnelis pain*
13:32 PiMB was doable.
13:32 PiMB I think this one is 2
13:32 PiMB just follow the standard procedure
13:32 PiMB do you have any strange modules or things in there?
13:33 Recnelis Nah.. pretty much standard other than the ones I've made
13:33 Bejjan hi there PiMB :)
13:33 Recnelis PiMB: Did follow the typo3 coding guidelines though so doubt they should pose a problem ;)
13:33 PiMB dude..
13:33 PiMB not at work?
13:33 Bejjan PiMB, nope, got the weekend off
13:33 PiMB Recnelis they should be fine.
13:34 PiMB was wondering about (outdated) templavoila or something like that.
13:34 PiMB have heard some people with problems there
13:34 PiMB Bejjan but still @ the pc...
13:34 Bejjan there are some trouble with templavoila upgrade, some field is turned into blob if the characterset is wrong
13:35 Bejjan PiMB, just briefly, gonna go rent a trailer to move some furniture in a bit
13:36 PiMB great time to do that, 31st of december...
13:36 Bejjan the problem is the furniture is in the way at a friends place, and we gonna have a party there :P
13:36 Bejjan so it has to be done lol
13:36 PiMB ah, but it's in for the sake of fun..
13:36 Recnelis PiMB: Erm.. my TV is pretty outdated :/
13:36 Bejjan a drawing table for my stepdaughter and a shelf
13:36 PiMB so important
13:37 PiMB Recnelis, might give some problems (I don't use TV so don't know. I just noticed some people having them)
13:37 Bejjan later on its gonna be a nice dinner and alot of alcohol consumption
13:37 PiMB Recnelis, just go to 4.2.10 first
13:37 PiMB Bejjan, same here.
13:37 PiMB and then 3 days of hangover sleeping
13:38 Recnelis I have quite a few extensions that can be upgraded, should I upgrade them before upgrading Typo3 itself?
13:38 Bejjan Recnelis, also, betweent he steps of 4.1.x -> 4.2.x do a db and file backup, same from 4.2.x -> 4.3.x
13:38 Recnelis Bejjan: I have done that - In case something goes wrong :)
13:38 Bejjan Recnelis, good, I just wanted to mention it incase you missed it :)
13:39 Recnelis Got that sorted m8 ;)
13:39 PiMB good point.
13:39 PiMB it's always good thing to upgrade the extension
13:39 PiMB -s
13:39 Recnelis Hmm.. think it'll upgrade all extensions first - Check if everything works, backup again and then do the typo3 backup
13:39 Recnelis Then I'll know when something went wrong..
13:40 Recnelis do a typo3 upgrade*
13:42 PiMB (Y)
13:42 PiMB and indeed make a lot of backups
13:42 Bejjan PiMB, bleh tomorrow I'll have to reinstall (and find drivers again) my wife's aunts computer, her kids messed it up ><
13:42 PiMB you can't have enough of those :)
13:44 Denyerec Anyone here using frontend editing /
13:44 Denyerec ?
13:44 PiMB which one
13:44 Denyerec I get a really annoying 80's style grey popup when I move over any content elements.
13:44 Denyerec THe new one with 4.3
13:44 PiMB feedit or advanced?
13:44 Denyerec THe information in the popup is useful for a dev, but not for an end user.
13:44 Denyerec feedit didn't seem to do anything, so I removed it and installed feeditadvanced
13:45 Denyerec (AS advanced said it conflicted with feedit)
13:45 PiMB true
13:45 PiMB 80's style popup
13:45 PiMB could you screendump it?
13:46 Bejjan i think he means the same grayish thing you have when you do a page preview
14:37 Recnelis *Cry* God.. so many templates to remap after updating TV ><
14:38 PiMB :D
14:39 PiMB don't use it then
14:39 Recnelis What should I use instead?
14:40 PiMB I use good old TS
14:41 Recnelis That would require a bigger job of putting in markers ;)
14:45 PiMB true, but you have to agree with me that it doesn;t require remapping on update ;)
15:01 Phlogi hey Denyerec :p
15:35 Bejjan PiMB, well, you dont have to remap in tv either if you keep id's on the divs :)
15:36 PiMB don't know.
15:36 Bejjan I do :)
15:36 PiMB and frankly, don't wanna :)
15:36 PiMB I don't use it at all, not planning on using it.
15:36 Bejjan I never learned in the old school
15:37 PiMB depends on your
15:37 PiMB 'teacher'
15:37 PiMB seen cool things with TV, but also without TV
15:37 PiMB dove into TS couple of months ago.
15:37 Bejjan im guessing you can do equally cool things tho
15:37 Bejjan as its just mapping anyway :)
15:37 PiMB did the examination at the Conference this year and passed, but TS is huge
15:38 PiMB and awesome ;)
15:38 Bejjan :D
15:38 PiMB But as I like to tell all our new employees, there are 100 ways to 1 output in TYPO3
15:38 PiMB 'gotta catch em all!'
15:38 Bejjan sometimes its not so awesome tho
15:39 Bejjan yea
15:51 Recnelis Since me_templavoilalayout isn't working with the newer version of TV, does anyone have a way to make the Backend view of pages look similar to the front end? I'm think like i I have 1 content box above.. and 3 smaller boxes under this main box and I'd like the BE to seem as though it's this way as well
15:58 Recnelis Secondly isn't "useSPidFromCategory" valid anymore in TT_news? Since it won't work unless I add a "singlePid" in my TS setup?
15:59 Recnelis Erm.. nvm
16:06 PiMB :)
16:06 PiMB rubber ducky moment
16:31 bayer when developing fe-plugins - is there a "best practice" folder to put html templates into?
16:33 Bejjan Now im frustrated, my main menu isnt showing, like at all
16:34 PiMB bayer, I normally create a 'static' folder inside the extension
16:35 PiMB and give the user the option to choose there own via TS.
16:35 PiMB Bejjan, then you did something wrong
16:35 PiMB ;)
16:35 bayer PiMB, that helps, thx
16:35 Bejjan PiMB, not even the simplest thing works lol
16:37 PiMB Bejjan, what's the problem?
16:42 Bejjan it was a misstake :P
16:42 Bejjan i feel ashamed
16:44 PiMB well then
16:44 PiMB the last problem for this year is done..
16:45 PiMB time to close up, go home, grab a (lot) of beers and champagne
16:45 PiMB and talk to you guys next year!
16:45 Recnelis Does anyone remember the TS fix when u have 2x<body> tags showing up in ur page source code?
17:10 bayer how can i find out the language of a site in a fe-plugin?
17:11 Phlogi bayer: that will be handled automatically if your using the api
17:12 bayer Phlogi, yes, but i need to load a html template depending on the active language
17:12 Phlogi bayer: why?
17:12 Bejjan bayer: $this->LLkey
17:13 Bejjan :-)
17:13 bayer ah :)
17:15 bayer and i guess i need to find out the currency of the country via static_countries table? or is there a smarter way?
17:17 Bejjan dunno, try do a print_r of $this (yes its a huge array) maybe there is something useful there :)
17:23 bayer Bejjan, can't find anything - i'll read it from static_countries - thx :)
17:57 Bejjan happy new year everyone
18:35 Denyerec Anyone know how you might get the number of repeated items in a TemplateVoila section in the FCE's TS?
18:35 Denyerec That is to say... I have 10 flexible content elements repeating in a section.
18:36 Denyerec And I would like each one to have a unique incrementing ID
18:36 Denyerec (For JS purposes)
18:53 Janjouna Greetings. I need help with the archive menu. The link appears but does not open the archive list if I click on it. Can someone please help with that
18:56 Bejjan you need to define the pid for the archive page
18:56 Janjouna Thanks Bejjan, I have added plugin.tt_news.archiveTypoLink.parameter = 136 but it does not work. The link takes me back to the same page
19:15 Janjouna Any help on the archive menu please?
21:09 Denyerec Anyone recommend a good BE tool for working with RealURL ?
