00:21 dinsdale07 has anyone yet used payment_lib ?
00:21 dinsdale07 I want to know how time intensive it is to get configured.
00:35 HardPhuc anyone alive?
00:43 dinsdale07 just borderline ...
00:52 HardPhuc i have an editor account, when i try to unlink an element, nothing happens
00:53 dinsdale07 sure sounds like a permission problem - but which permission ...??
00:54 HardPhuc well i can see the icon, click it, and i get asked if im sure
00:54 HardPhuc but when i click yes nothing happens
02:01 nhaskins I'm using a shared hosting account. I've been operating with my main site in plain HTML and another site in running Typo3 in a sub directory while I've been preparing my main site in Typo3. I'm wondering if I can copy my Typo3 install out of the subdirectory into my top level and have it continue to function.
02:23 nhaskins Yes, it worked
09:03 _pedda_ hi all
09:25 maholtz|WORK morning
09:26 drindt good morning
09:27 drindt i want avoid that be users can delete fe users so i get information from mailinglist thats done probably via a hook in tcemain, someone can point me please to a doc or get me a hint?
09:27 _pedda_ moin maholtz|WORK :)
09:58 dec__ theres no images in the direct_mail manual anymore :/ anyone got a mirror?
09:58 maholtz|WORK @dec__: there should be an doc/manual.sxw file in the extension folder:)
09:58 dec__ ahhh ofcourse
10:01 mangan Hello everybody. Does anybody know how to put an array submittd by a form into a typoscript abject and render it?
10:02 Denyerec Oooh boy
10:02 Denyerec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_4a4O7kXQo <-- that just about made my day
10:02 Denyerec and it's only 0903
10:18 dec__ its not possible to have a poll within a html mail, no? you cant send post data in mails can you, better to place a link on the page?
10:27 maholtz|WORK @mangan: getText: .data = GPvar:fields|email
10:36 ockmonix hi
10:37 ockmonix is it possible to wrap tt_content.textpic elements with optionsplit?
10:40 mangan I think I just need a very small hint: When I return a COA object for a USER cObject, only "array" but not the content itself gets displayed. How can I solve this?
10:43 lawl_ hey guys, have you ever had the problem, that a typo3 page contains a string "typo3" at the top of each page? it's even before the "<?xml..."-tag and it doesn't come from the template...
10:44 maholtz|WORK @ockmonix: its possible - render them with an marker and then use split to split them again - there you can use optionsplit - and dont forget to put your snippet on snippets.typo3.org
10:45 maholtz|WORK @lawl_: typicall it comes from an extension
10:46 maholtz|WORK perhaps check temp_* files if you have there an echo 'typo3' or something like it
10:48 lawl_ yes there seems to be a prblem with real url at the moment. where can i find the temp_ files?
10:48 lawl_ *problem
10:54 sebke is templavoila recommended over the default typo3 tpl engine?
10:55 dec__ yes
10:56 sebke and the tutorials on the typo3 site, are they still relevant? because they are a few years old
10:56 dec__ the templavoila tutorial is decent yeah
10:57 sebke I mean the other ones as well
10:58 dec__ not sure about those
10:58 maholtz|WORK @lawl_: typo3conf/
10:58 sebke ok thx dec__ :)
11:02 lawl_ thanks maholtz. but there is no echo or print in those files
11:05 maholtz|WORK so, you have to check your extensions
11:09 lawl_ maybe it's because someone installed a new version of templa voila
11:20 ockmonix is it possible to wrap all tt_content.textpic elements differently with optionsplit
11:22 maholtz|WORK sure, but would make no sense - what do you really want to do?
11:24 maholtz|WORK @lawl_: perhaps - the most times that error is there because someone puts the string outside <?php ... ?>
11:25 sebke Is automaketemplate still used these days?
11:27 maholtz|WORK @sebke: templavoila or automaketemplate i guess
11:28 dec__ seriously would recommend templavoila though
11:28 nif but is automaketemplate good as a starter?
11:28 maholtz|WORK imho yes
11:28 dec__ i personally find it more complicated than templavoila
11:28 nif but not for the serious work then
11:28 dec__ to get a basic template parsed
11:29 maholtz|WORK well templavoila is good to get quick an nice result, but hard to understand typo3
11:29 dec__ hello world is easier with automaketemplate but that's about it :p
11:31 nif does everybody share this opinion?
11:32 maholtz|WORK @nif: there are two opinions
11:32 maholtz|WORK there are many who said: never without templavoila and on the otherside many who says: never with or i do not need
11:33 maholtz|WORK its harder to understand typoscript with templavoila
11:33 maholtz|WORK if you have special layout, use templavoila, otherwise not, thats what i think
11:34 nif define: special layout :)
11:35 ockmonix @maholtz: how can i wrap them?
11:35 maholtz|WORK @ockmonix: have a look at CONTENT and renderObj
11:42 drindt iam still searching for a solution to avoid that be user deletes fe user records, so i have used a hook for processDatamap but that isnt handled when deleting a user record, someone can please help me out?
11:44 ockmonix i only want to have textpic elements wrapped with a div container
11:44 ockmonix sry, all textpic elements show be wrapped completely
12:15 mangan Please help. I almost give up. I have cObject something = TEXT, something.data = GPvar: array .... I could use array | item to display a single item of the postvar array but I need all items. How can this be done?
12:16 maholtz|WORK @drindt: there is a hook inside tt_news which cares for categories
12:17 drindt maholtz|WORK: yes i know but that context does not handle the deletion of records
12:17 maholtz|WORK @drindt: sure?
12:18 maholtz|WORK @mangan: paste your code into pastebin: first step, read out simple variable from get index.php?id=1&myvar=hello
12:18 drindt maholtz|WORK: yes, did you read the german t3 list? :) show my last post for some seconds ago
12:18 maholtz|WORK page.10 = TEXT
12:18 maholtz|WORK page.10.data = GPvar:myvar
12:21 kreegee hello
12:21 kreegee somebody knows a mailform with confirmation-url email ?
12:21 kreegee feuserregister has this
12:21 kreegee but it's not really a good fit
12:22 mangan @maholtz: thanks. my problem are arrays, single get/post values work fine
12:22 maholtz|WORK so use | to get array vars
12:23 Denyerec Hey chaps
12:24 mangan @mangan: http://pastebin.com/d6377f052 - with "|" i can get array vars, yes, but i need all of them, like a loop with a wrap
12:24 mangan @maholtz: I tried to solve it with a userfunc and simple GPvar
12:25 maholtz|WORK use typoscript instead
12:25 mangan @maholtz: both only shows the string "array"
12:26 maholtz|WORK in html form: name="zustaendigkeit[username]" value = "10"
12:26 maholtz|WORK you get it via GPvar:zustaendigkeit|username
12:26 maholtz|WORK check typos
12:27 mangan belive me: I checked a very lot. The array comes from a mailform and looks like: [zustaendigkeit] => Array ( [830] => 1 [1001] => 1 [690] => 1
12:27 drindt maholtz|WORK: i not thinked about the jscripts around the <img> :) so 'tce_db.php' is the handler for the cmd
12:28 mangan the problem is that 830/1001/690 and so on are not fix but variable so I cannot use them with "|" to get the values
12:28 maholtz|WORK ok, that is a different point
12:29 mangan so I'm not sure if it can be done with typoscript alone
12:30 kreegee hm, nobody got any idea about my mailform problem?
12:30 maholtz|WORK well, if you do not know 830/1001/690 it would be difficult
12:30 NublaII I'm trying to put up a last update timestamp on the main page (and only on the main page) that reflects the last change anywhere on the site
12:30 mangan @maholtz: see my second try with userfunc: http://pastebin.com/d25721666
12:31 NublaII I've tried both ts_lastupdate and lastupdate extensions, but both of them seem to work only on the current page
12:31 NublaII anybody tried something like this?
12:31 maholtz|WORK @mangan: t3lib_div::_POST afaik and you have to return content not conf
12:32 maholtz|WORK @NublaII: you want the last update timestamp from all your pages? so have a look at HMENU
12:33 NublaII I just want 1 timestamp (on the main page) that lets you know that some content has been updated on the site...
12:33 maholtz|WORK install tool - scaling images - step 3 "GIF to JPG, 150 pixels wide" renders black background color instead white. Any hints why?
12:34 NublaII is that what you mean?
12:34 maholtz|WORK yep
12:34 maholtz|WORK get last updated page via hmenu
12:34 maholtz|WORK section special
12:34 NublaII but that reflects page updates or content and page updates?
12:35 NublaII or does the content updates affect page updates?
12:36 NublaII I'm looking at the sample you added on the typo3 site... will that show up if I don't modify a page but I DO modify a content on that page?
12:40 maholtz|WORK ? which sample? anyway: yes it should
12:40 NublaII http://support.typo3.org/snippets/c/109/
12:45 maholtz|WORK so, does it work? read TSref -> HMENU about SYS_LASTCHANGED there are some different options, and dont forget to rate and/or comment the snippet:)
12:46 NublaII it does give me a list of pages, but I just want the timestamp of the last one...
12:47 NublaII I don't even want the url...
12:47 NublaII ... gonna read the tsref
12:50 maholtz|WORK @NublaII: doNotLinkIt = 1
12:50 maholtz|WORK but thats all basic menu stuff, you should be able to do what you want with TSref open:)
13:08 nif does anybody know why I cant see my menu? http://pastebin.com/d24a81338
13:10 nif hmm nvm
13:12 maholtz|WORK you did not added it to any marker?
13:16 nif needed to do things like subparts.menu_1 < temp.menu_1
13:21 drindt maholtz|WORK: found for what iam searched its the processCmdmap_preProcess thingy :) can you get me a hint where to check the BE user details? if that is admin flag has set?
13:37 maholtz|WORK @drindt: check $_GLOBALS['BE_USER']
13:38 drindt maholtz|WORK: many thanks i forgott the $_ prefix :S
13:38 dexcs hi all
13:39 dexcs is it possible to do an "if" on a border in typoscript? I know how to do it with layout of a page, but not with the border of a content element....
13:39 drindt maholtz|WORK: hehe $GLOBALS['BE_USER'] is right :) thanks
13:40 maholtz|WORK good to know;)
13:47 maholtz|WORK @dexcs: so you do want to do it only on "left column" but not at normal or right?
13:48 maholtz|WORK yep, its possible - but you have to add it to CONTENT -> renderObj then
13:49 dexcs hmm. it should be possible to do it on every column
13:50 maholtz|WORK then i do not understand right? what do you want to do? what means "border" ?
13:50 dexcs if i choose the border "border 1 " i want to kick all wraps and divs and stuff out
13:50 dexcs sry translation error ;-) i meant "Frame"
13:51 maholtz|WORK section_frame
13:51 dexcs yep
13:53 maholtz|WORK so, you want to do f.e. something special on textpix if section_frame = 0? so go to tt_content.20.textpix... and search for stdWrap and use there if
13:53 dexcs ok thanks, i will try
13:58 jbaptiste_j I'm reaing the doc that comes with tt_news, but I'm puzzled, is there a step by step tutorial about how to get my first news online ?
13:58 jbaptiste_j reaing --> reading
14:05 mangan hello again, I think the important point was cObjGetSingle .. please revisit http://pastebin.com/d1798c2e3 to see my solution so far
14:06 maholtz|WORK looks good, but you do not need $conf['10'] use $conf = 'COA'; $conf[$newItem] = 'TEXT' (should be enough)
14:07 maholtz|WORK and put $conf = 'COA' outside of foreach
14:07 maholtz|WORK but thats only cosmetic
14:09 mangan not completely cosmetic ... for any reason the output now is in one line. You know why?
14:11 mangan but thanks anyway maholtz, you kept me going :-)
14:11 maholtz|WORK @mangan: you have no br, so the output should be oneline...
14:13 mangan @maholtz: and cObj "USER" has no stdwrap to do it there
14:22 maholtz|WORK but COA has, and TEXT has, that what you use and you should get the config parameters you set on your USER obj inside your php function
14:34 Bluespuke hi
14:35 Bluespuke i'm looking for a (font-end?) plugin to gather members and add them to different FE-Groups, any purposes?
14:35 Bluespuke and also gain them access to the forum, restricted areas,...
14:40 drindt i have a weird behavior, my be user is allowed to modify fe_users table, and when i want deleting as be user they delete the record properly but the be shows me a message and tell me that i have no permissions :) somone knows about?
14:53 fred^ hola
14:53 fred^ is there a globalvar to check against what tt_news category the selected news item are within?
15:10 nkuttler Bluespuke: you don't need a plugin for that
15:17 Bluespuke nkuttler: so i just use the frontend registration?
15:20 daKmoR howto get the pageproperties images in TS?
15:35 _pedda_ does anyone know how to get more than 500 entries from the sys_log ?
15:36 _pedda_ in BE
15:52 maholtz|WORK @_pedda_ perhaps you find some hints on tsconfig
15:53 _pedda_ modified the core..
15:54 _pedda_ did the job
15:54 _pedda_ changed the param 500 to 5000 for the selectbox
16:13 nkuttler Bluespuke: no idea how frontend registration handles group memberships, but i'm confident that you can configure it to add users to groups.
16:24 drindt is it possible to handle in the tca when a fiels is modified (onChange) that a popup appears?
16:53 dinsdale07 setting up domains in typo3, is it not enough to have domain.com as record - do I also need www.domain.com as record?
16:54 untouch_ if my backend users add new sites to the tree, how come they are not set to hidden as default like if i as admin do it?
16:54 nkuttler dinsdale07: i'd solve that at a lower level in the httpd config
16:55 nkuttler dinsdale07: redirect foo.com -> www.foo.com
16:55 dinsdale07 I think I already have domain.com forwards to www.domain.com -> for SEO
16:55 nkuttler dinsdale07: well, then you don't need to worry about it
16:55 dinsdale07 ok - u just said it. - But now I need www.domain.com as record in typo3?
16:55 nkuttler dinsdale07: not sure. does typo3 work if you only use domain.com?
16:56 Pepelargo Hi
16:56 nkuttler dinsdale07: i'd guess typo3 respects subdomains in the domain records
16:56 dinsdale07 no - it shows the first domain this installation is configured with. It would be nice to have an expression that responds to nomaytterwhat.domain.com
16:56 Pepelargo Is there anyway to disable a site and force it to forward or the queries to another one? THANKS
16:56 nkuttler dinsdale07: but you said you already redirect at httpd level
16:56 Pepelargo Is there anyway to disable a site and force it to forward *all the queries to another one? THANKS
16:57 nkuttler Pepelargo: 301 redirect?
16:57 dinsdale07 yes - but just in case :-) and make the installation more errorproove.
16:58 Pepelargo nkuttler, There is a site we have, that is necessary to disable for a while, and forward all the queries to another new one we created
16:58 nkuttler dinsdale07: well, add a virtual host with ServerAlias *.domain.com and 301 it to www.domain.com
16:58 Pepelargo nkuttler, what do you mean with 301?
16:58 nkuttler dinsdale07: that catches _all_ subdomains
16:58 dinsdale07 lets see whether that works in ispconfig too.
16:59 nkuttler Pepelargo: apache?
17:00 Pepelargo nkuttler, the web site is in a ISP provider, I cant access to apache configuration file man
17:01 nkuttler Pepelargo: then do the redirect in php i guess
17:01 Pepelargo nkuttler, I changed the root page to LINK EXTERNAL URL, will that work for google queires?
17:03 nkuttler Pepelargo: read about redirects, 301, 301 and how to do them in php. remove typo3's index.php
17:03 nkuttler Pepelargo: 302
17:03 Pepelargo nkuttler, but doing the LINK to external URL to the root page doesn't work?
17:03 Pepelargo nkuttler, we don't want to delete anything from the original site, we just want to suspend it for a while
17:05 nkuttler Pepelargo: no idea. index.php is just a symlink, doesn't hurt anybody to remove it
17:06 Pepelargo nkuttler, The thing is that google has cached some part of the site we want to dissable. My question is if Typo3 is forwarding everything to another site, will it forard this links too?
17:10 Pepelargo nkuttler, ok, it is not working with images, the links to upload are still there
17:10 Pepelargo so is there anyway to avoid this??
17:12 Pepelargo Is there anyway to disable access to the upload folder then?
17:14 Pepelargo I guess that puting a htacess. file in fileadmin folder forwarding to another web site would work right?
17:19 Pepelargo ok, so If I delete de index.php how are the queries to the user upload folder will be forbidden
17:19 Pepelargo ?
17:24 twoten what's a really good forum extension for typo3?
17:28 nkuttler Pepelargo: mod_rewrite
17:29 nkuttler Pepelargo: actually, can you use a .htaccess? if so, do a 302 to the new domain
17:30 Pepelargo nkuttler, yes, I have access to the .htacess of all the folders in typo3
17:30 Pepelargo nkuttler, but I don't know how to do a 301
17:30 nkuttler Pepelargo: you want a 302. google htaccess 302 or something like that. it's enough to put it in the / directory
17:32 Pepelargo nkuttler, ok mate, setting up the root page of typo3 as LINK EXTERNAL URL works, but the users can still access to the pictures sotred in the user upload folder
17:34 Pepelargo nkuttler, my question is now that if I set the 302 for the entire site, I wont be able to access the typo3 backend too, right?
17:35 Pepelargo nkuttler, right, stupid question
17:37 Pepelargo nkuttler, the 302 is working fine, but there is a problem:
17:37 Pepelargo I put in the .htaccess fiel this: Redirect / http://www.othesite.com/
17:37 Pepelargo nkuttler, the problem is that if the user tries to do this: www.oldsite.com/indepx.php?id=1
17:38 Pepelargo then the 302 will forward to this: http://www.newsite.com/index.php?id=1, where that id doesn0t exist
17:38 twoten in my backend, the front page keeps appearing in my details pane, how do I get rid of it and get back to details?
17:38 Pepelargo I want just to redirect to http://www.newsite.php
17:38 Pepelargo *I want just to redirect to http://www.newsite.com
17:42 nature denyer?
17:45 nkuttler Pepelargo: ah. i guess mod_rewrite can do that. too bad you don't have access to your httpd config
17:46 Denyerec Hey nature
17:47 twoten how do I stop the front page from appearing in the datails pane in my backend?
17:52 nature hey
17:52 nature man... I need some help on something
17:53 twoten hoh
17:53 nature it's driving me totally nuts
17:53 twoten join the club
17:55 nature http://www.giftwarenews.com/news-trends/lead-news-item/article/this-just-in-crazy-mountain-shuts-its-doors.html
17:55 nature http://www.hfnmag.com/news-trends/headline-news/article/florence-to-keynote-housewares-show.html?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=1&cHash=52852c8232
17:55 nature giftware was a copy of hfn
17:55 nature but giftware doesn't have all that backpid crap
17:56 nature i need to get rid of that stuff
17:56 nature both urls are tt_news articles
17:58 eduardo Does anybody know about typo3 being used in a web to print scenario?
18:00 dinsdale07 any freelance extension developers here? - I have to give a number of hours for an extension to develop to provide a form with ca 20 fields, store this information in the database and link it to the fe_user table and frontend register (one user can have several dataforms associated). What is a reasonable amount of hours to plan for such a project? This would be my first extension from scratch so your guess will probably be
18:00 dinsdale07 better than mine!
18:03 nature denyer always goes to be right when i wake up
18:04 Denyerec lo
18:04 nature haha
18:04 Denyerec I keep getting called away
18:05 nature RealURL and me just don't get along
18:05 nature it hates me
18:07 Denyerec hmm
18:07 Denyerec nature have you updated realURL to the latest version
18:07 Denyerec I rememeber having trouble with tt_news and RealURL
18:08 Denyerec and I think the mailling list will be the best option, Dmitry reads that and is sure to be able to help
18:08 dinsdale07 writing quotes for a project always feels like playing poker ...
18:08 twoten I kept getting my front page displayed in my back end, then a million database warnings, so I updated the db tables from the db analyzer and that fixed it
18:08 nature well
18:08 nature gwn isn't running the latest version
18:09 nature and actually i can't update
18:09 nature as it requires php5
18:09 nature and our system has a program running on it that isn't ready for php5

18:09 twoten ro
18:10 theconic hi all, last year in oktober i read about typo3 4.3 coming out in februar '09... is there any news on that?
18:11 twoten damn thing is back, is there any way to ban the front page from appearing in the back end?
18:11 theconic i need this new frontend editing so badly... ;)
18:11 dinsdale07 I think they are in alpha 3 now so I think it's still a way to go. The fe editing will be a seperate extension anyway. I don't think it will be released at the same time as 4.3
18:12 theconic hm...
18:12 theconic that's new to me...
18:12 ckoehler FE editing will be in the core
18:12 ckoehler gah, get your facts right dinsdale07 :)
18:13 theconic ok, didn't want to start a discussion about that ;)
18:13 dinsdale07 what was that video which was released then about FE editing being released from a company which was hired from the WEC guys. I saw it about a month ago.
18:13 ckoehler hmm
18:14 ckoehler you are partly right
18:14 ckoehler there is a bunch of core stuff
18:14 ckoehler so you could add your own controllers and stuff
18:14 ckoehler and TV will ship with the TV controller
18:15 ckoehler core will have the default controller
18:15 dinsdale07 ckoehler, I think I missunderstood. Here is the announcement I rememberd. http://jeffsegars.com/2008/10/19/frontend-editing-for-typo3-43/
18:15 maholtz680 fyi: TYPO3 4.3-alpha2 on March 8th 2009
18:16 dinsdale07 So yes - I appologize :-)
18:16 ckoehler dinsdale07: nah you're partly right
18:16 ckoehler innerecho just did the mockups
18:16 ckoehler WEC does all the coding
18:17 twoten could it be the firefox backend bug? it seems to do the same thing in konqueror ...
18:20 dinsdale07 ckoehler, are there WEC members in the core team?
18:20 ckoehler yes
18:20 ckoehler jeff segars
18:21 ckoehler and mark stephenson is part of the association
18:22 dinsdale07 I'm subsribed to the core list but there are just too many numbers for me to be able to keep up to date :-)
18:23 ckoehler ya i just skim through them
18:32 twoten anyone here ever used yaml?
18:33 timdeluxe twoten: yes
18:33 eduardo Does anybody know about typo3 being used in a web to print scenario?
18:33 dinsdale07 twoten, yes ... but not anoy longer
18:34 untouch_ anyone know how to enable filelist in draftview?
18:34 twoten I need to get a site off the ground and was attracted to yaml, but I'm hitting problems, maybe I should go with a "norma" server install and get the dummy package ...
18:35 twoten normal - fantastico
18:37 dinsdale07 twoten, my experience is twofolded. If you stay in the layout possibilities of yaml you save yourself the mapping process. It also comes with a usable menu so it is a fast way of getting something usable almost out of the box or work at the same time with a layouter who already knows yaml.
18:38 twoten dinsdale07: and the flexible content elements are very attractive
18:39 dinsdale07 on the other hand I find the imports of little css snippets unescessary. Also the process of overwriting ts or css adds bloat to your codebasis.
18:39 timdeluxe twoten: its great, when your design skills and have no designer around ;) but i only used it for a non-profit website...
18:39 timdeluxe +"are not very high"
18:41 twoten ok, I'm going to reinstall yaml in a different way and hopefully my backend problems will disappear
18:41 dinsdale07 and I found it to be limiting in the design possibilities, after all it's more of a basic box layout which you divide into smaller boxes again.
18:41 twoten can you jettison the yaml stuff at a later date and head out on your own?
18:42 dinsdale07 you always have the possibilities to use the content dividers by just importing those in a t3d. I just created my own Dividers using tables for newsletters.
18:43 twoten I know what to do now, as usual I've bitten off mare than I can chew, must learn to crawl first ...
18:44 ckoehler isn't yaml just a simple markup language?
18:44 ckoehler i use it for config files for ruby scripts
18:44 twoten that's a different yaml
18:44 dinsdale07 the yaml we talk about = yet another multicolumn layout
18:46 ckoehler aah
18:46 ckoehler i've seen some cool new template stuff
18:46 ckoehler tv fce based
18:46 ckoehler but you can do snazzy stuff
18:46 ckoehler anyway, gotta go
18:48 dinsdale07 twoten, My experience is that I learned a lot by using yaml since it is a ready made installation and you learn some tricks how it's integrated in typo3. So maybe it's not too bad a place to start.
18:49 twoten thanks for the most timely advice, I'm fighting it out with the installer right now, I've beaten it before, I shall win again
18:49 untouch_ anyone know why i cannot move content elements in the draft workspace?
18:50 dinsdale07 now I want to more explore other possibilities since T3 is not that frightening to me any more and IMO I don't think yaml is a good choice for high traffic websites.
18:52 twoten is yaml slow? I kind of noticed that ...
18:54 dinsdale07 I wouldn't say yaml is slow as such but look at all the small css files it imports and the bloat it adds. I think it would be better to have one big file for webserver performace reasons and be able to remove unescessary css.
18:55 twoten interesting
18:56 dinsdale07 These are probably you usually don't consider when you have a small moderately visited website. There it's more important to be as time efficient as possible and there I think yaml can have an advantage.
18:56 dinsdale07 s/probably/problems
18:58 twoten I think my site will get a lot of traffic once it's up, I'm going to do the dummy package install
19:39 twoten I've got the source and dummy packages installed (I'm a total newbie) do I start by writing a typoscript template? use templavoila to connect to a generic template? play around with the builtins?
19:46 ckoehler twoten: get some TV templates from somewhere
19:46 ckoehler http://demo.webempoweredchurch.com/
19:53 dinsdale07 wow - this extension to just swap the design is awsome!
19:56 ckoehler thanks
19:56 dinsdale07 twoten, I would also recommend if you are using templavoila to read through the futuristic template building tutorial. typo3.org - documentation
19:57 dinsdale07 ckoehler, did you write this ext?
19:58 twoten I've read that tutorial, I'll get some tv templates
19:58 ckoehler dinsdale07: no, i think jeff did
19:59 dinsdale07 ur part of the WEC?
19:59 ckoehler yeah
20:00 ckoehler you're from canada?
20:00 dinsdale07 u guys don't stop to amaze me :-)
20:00 dinsdale07 yep - Quebec. But I'm origin german.
20:00 twoten yup, from Toronto
20:01 ckoehler ah two canadians
20:01 ckoehler dinsdale07: so why canada? I am German, too, living in the US
20:02 dinsdale07 That's how I learned about TYPO3, the community in Germany is much bigger than here in CA.
20:02 ckoehler you guys coming to t3con09-dallas?
20:02 dinsdale07 ckoehler, blame my girlfriend - she convinced me to come here when we met in France.
20:03 ckoehler i moved here to get married
20:03 dinsdale07 I wish I could. But I don't think there are still places and it's not exactly in my budget atm.
20:03 ckoehler pretty sure there's still room
20:03 ckoehler but yeah, may be kinda high
20:04 dinsdale07 so you're American citizen too now?
20:05 ckoehler no
20:05 dinsdale07 I started watching the T3CON08 DVDs. It would be pretty interesting meeting people in person. How much do you think it would cost?
20:05 ckoehler not yet
20:05 ckoehler dinsdale07: http://t3con09-dallas.typo3.org/home.html
20:07 dinsdale07 right continent this time but still 3300km away from my location.
20:07 ckoehler ya i bet flight would be the highest
20:09 ckoehler well
20:09 ckoehler not bad
20:09 dinsdale07 I don't think it will work out this time - real bummer since to my knowledge most T3 conferences usually are in Europe, especially Germany.
20:09 ckoehler $310
20:10 ckoehler there will be more in the US from now on
20:10 ckoehler this one is the pilot
20:11 ckoehler trying to get a lot of people to attend
20:11 ckoehler and going from there
20:11 ckoehler ah sorry, the link expired
20:11 ckoehler just search on farecast.com
20:12 dinsdale07 I'm really tempted ... :-) do you know how many people will be expected there?
20:15 twoten I'm a newbie, typo3 is very intimidating but I know it's the most inspired design
20:15 ckoehler i tihnk we have maybe.... 30 or so
20:15 twoten I'm determined to slug it out and defeat the beast!
20:15 ckoehler gotta go
20:15 ckoehler be back in a bit
20:22 ckoehler back
20:22 ckoehler twoten: the problem with typo3 is that it's so old
20:22 ckoehler so there is some really old, bad code in there
20:39 twoten really? the only other free cms that I've seen that comes close is modx, and they don't have a forum module
20:40 ckoehler oh don't get me wrong, it's really powerful
20:40 ckoehler there are just usability issues
20:40 ckoehler because of the old code
20:41 ckoehler but that's been worked on for a while
20:41 ckoehler and it's getting much better
20:44 twoten one day all the old code willbe gone, and we can all cry
20:44 twoten Victory!
20:47 nkuttler has work on typo3 5.0 already begun?
20:47 nkuttler this flow3 thing can already be used, can't it?
20:48 ckoehler work on 5.0 has begun
20:48 ckoehler well
20:48 ckoehler as part of flow3
20:49 ckoehler i think it's usable
20:49 ckoehler haven't played with it in a while
20:49 ckoehler but a lot of the features are backported to the 4.x branch
20:49 ckoehler like caching
20:49 ckoehler mvc
20:49 nkuttler typo3 5,0 already usable?
20:49 ckoehler fluid
20:49 ckoehler no
20:49 ckoehler not at all
20:49 nkuttler ah ok
20:49 nkuttler i don't mind testing alpha quality software
20:52 nkuttler mmmh, modern routing
20:54 ckoehler yeah that too
20:56 drindt i need a onchange event handler on a dropdown list in be, someone can please get a clue how?
20:57 drindt i currently play around with the extra evaluation function but i cant find a way to modify the jscript properly so that the onchange is possible
21:21 Pepelargo hi all
21:22 Pepelargo Hey guys, is there any element to create forms and then send a SQL query to a remote mySQL server?
21:24 nkuttler Pepelargo: i'd guess the typo3 dbal?
21:25 Pepelargo nkuttler, as you know I am still very noob on this XD sorry and thanks for your patience
21:25 nkuttler Pepelargo: i have no idea if supports remote dbs though, never done anything with it
21:25 Pepelargo nkuttler, well perhaps you can give a better point of view about what I want to do
21:26 Pepelargo in my web site I give some kind of technical information in a pdf file only if the potential customers resgister using a from (typo3 site)
21:26 Pepelargo But actually I want that information to be registered in another server I have in my company intranet, just in the customers table so we can track all them
21:27 Pepelargo so, I thought to make a sql query from the typo3 site to the intranet server
21:27 Pepelargo I am not sure if this is a good way
21:28 nkuttler Pepelargo: well, that requires modifying typo3. i guess i'd be lazy write a script that exports new entries and sends them to the other server
21:28 Pepelargo The other option I was thinking about, is to store that form's information in the typo3 db, and from the intranet download them
21:28 Pepelargo I guess this will be easier, right?
21:29 Pepelargo since the intranet server is Linux, I can program a cron script to check typo3 db looking for new users, and if so, download them into local tables
21:29 Pepelargo *new customers
21:30 nkuttler yeah, cron is probably easiert. doing it in typo3 may have other advantages though. depends on your needs.
21:32 Pepelargo nkuttler, ok, well so I was looking for the plugin you said but I can't find it, I just want now to register a form information into a table
21:33 nkuttler Pepelargo: http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/dbal/current/
21:33 Pepelargo thanks
21:34 Pepelargo but it is not in my repositories
21:36 Pepelargo sorry I found it
21:37 Pepelargo wow, when installign and updating I got this message: Fatal error: Call to a member function admin_get_charsets() on a non-object in /var/www/innerspec/t3lib/class.t3lib_install.php on line 456
21:37 Pepelargo and nothing works now
21:37 Pepelargo I cna't access to my site
21:37 Pepelargo ¿?
21:38 Pepelargo What happened? I just installed Data Abstraction Layer
21:39 Pepelargo All my site is nowt working now, I get the same message everywhere aI go
21:40 Pepelargo Just only for installing a component!
21:41 Pepelargo nkuttler, I really need help now! My site is screwed up!
21:41 ckoehler Pepelargo: go to the typo3conf folder
21:41 ckoehler edit localconf.php
21:41 ckoehler find the latest extList entry
21:42 ckoehler which is just a comma separated list of installed extensions
21:42 ckoehler find dbal
21:42 ckoehler remove it from the list
21:42 ckoehler save localconf.php
21:42 ckoehler delete any temp* files in typo3conf
21:42 ckoehler reload the site
21:42 ckoehler tada
21:43 Pepelargo ckoehler, but is this normal?
21:43 ckoehler i don't use dbal
21:43 ckoehler so i don't know
21:43 Pepelargo ckoehler, I will try, I am really scared man
21:44 ckoehler chill
21:44 ckoehler no big deal
21:44 Pepelargo the work of all a month!
21:44 ckoehler happens every once in a while
21:44 ckoehler gotta go
21:44 ckoehler you can do it
21:46 Pepelargo ckoehler, ok, now works again
21:47 Pepelargo but the dbal is not loaded
21:49 Pepelargo whenever I try to instal dbal it screwes up!
21:50 Pepelargo Is there any other way to send a form ino into a table?
21:52 Pepelargo it seems dbal doesn't work now
21:53 Pepelargo so I don't know any other way to store infomration from a form into a table
21:53 twoten dbal has become evil and must be expelled
21:54 Pepelargo twoten, and what else I can work with in order to save into a table information comming from a form?
21:55 ckoehler wasn't that bad, huh
21:56 Pepelargo please, could you guys give me a hand and answer me?
21:56 ckoehler write an extension
21:56 ckoehler look at mailformplus or somethin
21:56 ckoehler we can't do your homework for you
21:56 Pepelargo I am not asking you to do my homework
21:57 Pepelargo I am just trying to know if this "CMS" has somehting than doesn't neet to wirte in typoscript
21:57 ckoehler it does
21:57 ckoehler google is your friend
21:57 ckoehler so is typo3.org/extensions
21:57 Pepelargo And I am just asking for names, since the 90% of the stuff I find in google is in german
21:58 ckoehler search the mailing list
21:58 Pepelargo and the other 10% is just for the basics tutorials
21:58 Pepelargo belive me,..I already spent a lot of time looking around
21:59 Pepelargo ckoehler, well you know, in typo3.org recommend dbal, but it seems that it is buggy and in beta, and doesn't work
21:59 Pepelargo http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=10169
21:59 Pepelargo I do look into google..
22:04 twoten_ Cannot find tslib/. Please set path by defining $configured_tslib_path in index.php
22:04 twoten_ is the error I'm getting
22:04 twoten_ maybe one of my new symlinks is bad?
