01:42 nomatter001 hi
01:42 nomatter001 is it possible to have a menu that takes the first image of a page if it's there and if there is no image shows just the page title (like a tmenu)
08:47 PiMB happy newyear everybody!
08:49 xblh happy new year
09:10 paese morning everybody. can someone give me a hint how to order my css files wth includeCSS ? asignin numbers won't really work..
09:18 paese i try to put my css at the end (ie stylesheets) but they will be included at the wrong position.. how to fix this? using differnt nummers didn't do the clue. includeCSS.999 = xyz.css includes at the right position, but i need a second one at this last position. this is where i'm stuck.
09:21 PiMB what do you mean by 'last positin?'
09:21 PiMB indecludesCSS.999 doesn't include on a position based on the number 999
09:21 PiMB you're able to use includeCSS.mainstyle = ... for instance
09:22 PiMB name is just for own readability purpose.
09:22 PiMB the order in the TS setup field is the order in which they are included.
09:22 paese hmm okay
09:23 paese i'm just curious because TV also includes css
09:24 PiMB hm.
09:24 PiMB another way is to use page.headerdata.123 = ...
09:24 PiMB it's not nice actually, but it allows you to insert a <link> tag to .css file
09:25 PiMB here the number is the order in which it's included
09:25 paese the funny par tis: if i include one css with includeCSS.999 it's the last css that will be included. but if i want another one to be after the 999 it's not working
09:25 paese yes, the numbers aren't the problem, the order's right then. but it's still before the css templavoila includes
09:26 PiMB that might be. probably has to do with the order the core includes css files
09:47 nkuttler so how does one configure automatic resizing/cropping of images for the content?
09:49 kraftb good morning !
09:50 maholtz|WORK @nkuttler: check out TSref -> IMAGE
09:51 maholtz|WORK you could use width = 100c where "c" means cropping
09:51 maholtz|WORK you can set maxH and maxW etc. there are many possibilities
09:51 maholtz|WORK @kraftb: good morning:)
09:52 nkuttler maholtz|WORK: oh, nice. but that wouldn't affec images inside tt_content elements, right?
09:52 maholtz|WORK if you change tt_content... yes, if you use lib.yourimage = IMAGE not
09:53 nkuttler ah, i think i understand
09:57 nkuttler not sure where to modify tt_content though, probably through the template?
09:59 kraftb good morning maholtz !
09:59 sun Hello
10:00 sun I am not able to use frontend editing in typo3. Admin panel is displaying and I have enabled "Display edit icons". But icons (Pencil) is not displaying. PLease help.
10:01 maholtz|WORK @nkuttler: typoscript template - tt_content.image.* use object browser to see whats possible
10:02 sun can you explain in detail?
10:04 nkuttler maholtz|WORK: yes, thank you.
10:04 sun I just added "page.config.admPanel = 1" in my TS. Do I have to add anything more?
10:05 Denjerek morning all
10:05 PiMB Hi
10:05 Denjerek sun - do you get an annoying grey popup on top of everything ?
10:05 nkuttler sun: i think http://typo3.org/documentation/tips-tricks/frontend-editing/ mentions everything that has to be done
10:06 sun I have followed the same. But the "pencil" icon is not displaying near to content in the front end.
10:09 sun Should I have to enable anything from the backend? I just added "config.admPanel = 1" in my TS.
10:18 xblh Hi all,
10:19 xblh I started to dig through docs and source code because I would like to provide some translations
10:21 xblh Is there anybody maintaining translations in general?
10:34 jbaptiste_j Merry new year guys
10:39 jbaptiste_j I need to create a mailform, which extension should I look at ? powermail or Formhandler (formerly mailform plus) ?
10:40 Denjerek Bah!
10:41 maholtz|WORK @xblh: there is a newsgroup
10:41 maholtz|WORK @sun: did you check the source code, perhaps there is something which hides the editpanel via css?
10:42 maholtz|WORK @xblh: typo3.translation.general
10:43 xblh @maholtz: ok - thanks ... scooting over to there
10:43 maholtz|WORK lists.typo3.org
11:08 maholtz|WORK @jbaptiste_j: merry new year:) powermail if your editors should be able to change fields etc, but your layout is not to complex
11:11 PiMB I agree, powermail is powerfull up to a certain point
11:11 PiMB very easy to install/configure for multiple people, even the ignorant
11:11 maholtz|WORK "up to a certain point"
11:11 maholtz|WORK is totally right
11:11 PiMB ;)
11:12 jbaptiste_j so probably I should do myu first attempts with powermail then maybez try formhandlerwhen I myslf are better with typo3
11:12 maholtz|WORK yep:)
11:12 maholtz|WORK well..
11:12 maholtz|WORK it depends on your needs
11:13 maholtz|WORK if you need "only" an simple mailform, powermail is quite good
11:13 maholtz|WORK if you have a complex situation or many many fields you should use formhandler
11:14 jbaptiste_j I have 38 fields but only one form page
11:14 PiMB length is not a problem.
11:14 PiMB as maholtz|WORK says, complex is difficult
11:14 maholtz|WORK @PiMB: well, it depends on your client
11:15 jbaptiste_j I'll alos need to be able to insert text between some fields as some "group of fields" will have a label
11:15 jbaptiste_j like book one : author, title price book 2 author title price (we are a library)
11:15 jbaptiste_j alos -> also
11:15 maholtz|WORK the backend is going difficult to manage if you have a lot of fields, but 38 should be ok
11:16 jbaptiste_j anyway powermail is obviously the way to go if simpler to learn
11:18 maholtz|WORK yep
11:26 Denjerek hey Phlogi
11:26 Phlogi hey Denjerek
11:47 Denjerek What are you doing instead Phlogi ?
11:48 Phlogi Denjerek: studying ^^^
11:51 Denjerek whoops
11:51 Denjerek if you replied Phlogi I would have missed it
11:51 Denjerek clicked the wrong button in opera and closed it :)
11:51 Phlogi <Phlogi> Denjerek: studying ^^^
11:51 Phlogi opera? zzz
11:58 Denjerek yeah I use Opera as a chat client also when I'm on-site
11:58 Denjerek saves installing mIRC
11:58 Denjerek (use it as a browser too of course!)
11:59 phil1 Denjerek: me too :P
12:05 Denjerek I find it far faster and more stable than Firefox or Chrome.
12:05 Denjerek The only downside being that some webdevelopers are too lazy to write on-spec
12:06 Denjerek So some sites are oddly rendered occasionally.
12:06 Denjerek I find that to be the case far less often these days, though.
12:09 Denjerek If I use some defines currently to control program flow
12:09 Denjerek am I better moving those to class constants these days ?
12:10 Denjerek it's basically for identifying forms / form actions.
12:10 Denjerek i have a hidden field called 'action' and it identifies what the form is doing.
12:11 Denjerek So at the start of the script I have: if(!defined('ACT_COMMENT')) define ('ACT_COMMENT','comment');
12:11 Denjerek And then further in if I'm identifying a form whose action is commenting, it'll have a hidden field containing ACT_COMMENT
12:39 Recnelis Hey guys, I've got a bit of a odd problem.. I've updated to 4.3 and run a site with multiple domains in the same Typo3 installation - The main site works fine, no problems at all.. yet the other sites in the same installation give me a weird menu problem - None of the links no longer work :/
12:40 Recnelis Instead of giving me mysite.com/index.php?id=1502 - When I press a link the adress bar changes to mysite.com/index.php?id=1502index.php?id=1506 instead :s
12:41 Recnelis http://paste.phlogi.net/-07e9d83797/ <- A link to my menu TS
12:46 pmk65 Recnelis: In your TS setup for each of the domains, try inserting these 2 lines:
12:46 pmk65 config.typolinkCheckRootline = 1
12:46 pmk65 config.content_from_pid_allowOutsideDomain = 1
12:47 Denjerek I need to add a new domain to an existing site soon
12:48 Denjerek not looking forward to figuring all tha tout.
12:49 Recnelis Already have typolinkCheckRootline = 1 - Added second line, but no change, when I click links it says on the same page, the adress bar just changes to mysite.com/index.php?id=1502index.php?id=1506 instead :(
12:50 pmk65 have you set baseURL for each of the domain, and created domain records on the root?
12:50 Recnelis pmk65: Can it be something with the simulateStaticDocs change? I remember there being something about that..? Thought I don't use "pretty" urls..
12:50 Recnelis I've created domain records yes, checking baseurl.. 1 sec
12:52 Recnelis pmk65: baseURL = http://mysite.dk ? <- that's what I have to add to config?
12:53 pmk65 baseURL = http://mysite.dk/ (needs a trailing slash)
12:53 pmk65 should be the same as the domain you specified in the domain record,.
12:53 pmk65 If that doesn't help, try setting config.absRefPrefix = http://mysite.dk/
12:55 Recnelis pmk65: It's destroyed my images and CSS so far ;) - Outcomment baseUrl and use absRefPrefix instead right? If I recall u can't use both?
12:57 Recnelis pmk65: None of them help :/
12:57 PiMB_ Recnelis, do you have a link? Like to see the source code
12:58 pmk65 Recnelis: You should ALWAYS set baseUrl when creating a site. Otherwize paths might be wrong, specially with multi domain sites..
12:59 Recnelis I wasn't aware of that - I'm using the same templates for all the sites, right now with baseurl set it shows none of the images nor uses the CSS ?
13:00 pmk65 Recnelis: maybe because you didn't have a baseurl in the first place. Then you have created your CSS to point directly at the files?
13:01 pmk65 How does your CSS look for a BG image ? (path)
13:02 Recnelis background-image:url('images/graybackground_bottom.jpg');
13:02 PiMB_ Recnelis, the url looks strange, but it doesn't add to the back of the link because if you have index.php?id=1502index.php?id=1650 and click a link I get index.php?id=1502index.php?id=1504 and not index.php?id=1502index.php?id=1650index.php?id=1504
13:02 PiMB_ is there a .htaccess file or something that redirects everythin to index.php?id=1502index.php$1 ?
13:03 PiMB_ or something?
13:03 Recnelis PiMB_: I'll check - I know they had the tech department do some changes recently.. before the entire site was put in a frame for some odd reason..
13:03 PiMB_ oeh..
13:03 PiMB_ that's bad
13:05 Recnelis I know :/
13:05 PiMB_ maybe a DNS redirect to ip
13:05 PiMB_ (cause the changes to ip)
13:05 Recnelis The htaccess seems to be the standard Typo3 one
13:05 niticu Hello everyone.
13:06 niticu When my BE session is open and I preview a page with access restrictions, I would expect to see a login box in the FE asking for username and pass.
13:06 niticu However, sometimes, and for some reason I don't understand, the page is shown even if I have not introduced in FE login data
13:06 Recnelis pmk65: Okay, baseUrl works fine once I change it to the IP(Which they're redirecting too instead of the actual domain name)
13:07 niticu the 'PREVIEW' note is put on top right corner of the page
13:07 Recnelis PiMB_: Even more odd, on another site it just says "index.php" could not be found :s
13:07 niticu Does anyone know how to prevent this behaviour? Best of all is that it doesn't happen in all my sites!
13:08 PiMB_ niticu, whenever you're a BE user you have all rights to see things. But to tell you a 'normal' user doesn't, it provides you with the preview div
13:08 PiMB_ niticu, why don't you want this to happen?
13:09 PiMB_ Recnelis that's cool ;) might be that 'index.php' indeed could not be found. Maybe obvious, but does it excist? and less obvious, does it have proper file rights?
13:09 niticu some pages expect FEuser information (name, etc.) when I open a 'profile' page, for example
13:10 PiMB_ that's something else.
13:10 niticu yep
13:10 niticu you're right
13:10 PiMB_ then you should enable adminPanel, and simulate something
13:10 niticu thank you PiMB_,
13:10 niticu the thing is
13:11 niticu that up until know, I've been able to access FE as a normal user (having to log in etc.) even if my BE session was open
13:11 niticu behaviour which I like
13:11 PiMB_ depends on where your BE session is opened
13:11 niticu same browser
13:11 niticu as always!
13:11 Recnelis PiMB_: Since it's all in the same installation I don't see why index.php doesn't exist, but seems I've found the error there.. another famous iframe ><
13:12 PiMB_ Maybe you should try the following Recnelis:
13:12 Recnelis But my TS is correct isn't it? For making the menu that is?
13:13 PiMB_ as far as I can see..
13:13 PiMB_ you need to go to http://www.justbats.com/ pick a bat, run down to the 'techdepartement'. Get who did the iframe, and swing away mate!
13:14 Recnelis I bet this is some odd error with the dns records and some screw up they've done with those as the main site works perfect, as does one of the others which isn't put into a frame or redirected to a IP
13:14 Recnelis PiMB_: I think I will :p
13:14 Recnelis PiMB_ and pmk65: I thank you both for ur assistence thus far :)
13:14 PiMB_ np mate
13:14 PiMB_ just get the DNS straightened out.
13:14 PiMB_ and then check the base url
13:15 PiMB_ good thing to use..
13:16 niticu admPanel allows you to simulate a usergroup, but not a feuser
13:16 niticu how do you preview a page which expects fe_user information when your BE session is open?
13:21 Phlogi Denjerek: I would never want to use a proprietary browser
13:22 Phlogi niticu: log in as the user
13:23 niticu Phlogi: I can't log in! The Login box doesn't show the username+password fields. It renders the 'Logout' button instead, even If I didn't log in previously
13:23 niticu simply because I've got another tab with a BE session open
13:24 Phlogi niticu: thats not possible... is it the default login box? using any extension to simulate a logged in user?
13:24 niticu I'm using 'felogin', default user extension
13:25 niticu I know, it's weird. This behaviour just appeared. I've developed other sites with no trouble whatsoever.
13:26 niticu It's so annoying to have the big red 'PREVIEW' box on the FE page!!
13:27 Phlogi niticu: thats only because the page is hidden in BE... try to unhide it
13:28 niticu it's not hidden! the pages have access restrictions
13:29 niticu when I preview an acces-restricted page, I would expect to see a login box asking for login data, but, because I have a BE session open, It shows the page anyway, with the big PREVIEW alert
13:41 TheDon_ Hi all
13:42 TheDon_ I have a contact information in a page I want to put this information all other pages like include how can I do that
13:43 jbaptiste_j insert record might be a way to solve your problem TheDon
13:46 TheDon_ each and every pages do I want to insert this common data
13:47 sorenmalling TheDon_: If you are using templavoila, map a area to lib.info and use that typoscript marker to store your text
13:47 PiMB_ if not use renderobj to get the proper content element.
13:47 PiMB_ http://snipplr.com/view/4296/render-content-elements-in-typoscript/
13:48 PiMB_ (change the select statement to get the content element you need)
13:50 TheDon_ I think this is the best way PIMB because I am not using templavoila
13:50 Phlogi isn't there an extension as well to han down CE's on subpages?
13:50 PiMB_ not sure.
13:50 PiMB_ if there is let me know.
13:51 niticu PiMB_
13:51 niticu you can use extension kb_tv_cont_slide to have the same CE shown in all subpages
13:52 Phlogi http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Content_Slide
13:52 Phlogi TheDon_: ^^
13:53 TheDon_ ok Great
13:56 webonaut we'r looking for the extbase kickstarter
13:56 webonaut do you know where we can find the source?
13:58 PiMB_ Phlogi, you don't really need an extension (besides css_styled_content)
13:58 Phlogi jup
13:58 PiMB_ styles.content.getRight.slide = -1
13:58 PiMB_ awesome!
13:58 Phlogi webonaut: I would say on forge
13:59 Phlogi PiMB_: yes like described in the wiki link
13:59 webonaut Phlogi: thanks
13:59 webonaut Phlogi: found it
14:18 FloLeBlanc hi all. I tried to insert tx_srlanguagemenu_pi1 on my page, but I only get 1 flag for the additional language (english) and not the default language (de), and if I click the flag no L parameter is passed, can anyone give me a hint on that please?
14:59 Denjerek gah I keep getting disconnected
15:17 TheDon_ display data in all pages renderobj to get the proper content element method I used
15:17 TheDon_ that is sucessful
15:17 TheDon_ one issue is there
15:18 TheDon_ perticler page has more than one pahecontent element id are 16 and 18 in my page all the elements show
15:19 TheDon_ but I need only 16 element
15:19 TheDon_ how can I get that
15:54 phil1 TheDon_: hide the other one
15:58 TheDon_ my goodness can't I select perticuler one
15:58 TheDon_ :(
16:12 phil1 TheDon_: ?
16:12 TheDon_ yes
16:14 TheDon_ phill are u sure I have to hide other one can't I select particular element
16:20 phil1 TheDon_: I see
16:21 phil1 TheDon_: I use the following snippet:
16:21 phil1 # wichtiges (content id=101)
16:21 phil1 5 = RECORDS
16:21 phil1 5 {
16:21 phil1 source = 101
16:21 phil1 tables = tt_content
16:21 phil1 stdWrap {
16:21 phil1 wrap = <div id="wichtig" style="border: 4px groove red; padding: 0.2em;">|</div>
16:21 phil1 required = 1
16:21 phil1 }
16:21 phil1 }
16:22 phil1 TheDon_: you can leave out the wrap and required
16:36 arne_ hi
16:38 arne_ can someone tell me if there is a way to hide all subpages of a specific page in menu?
16:38 arne_ i wrote the menu in ts but want to hide the tree for 3 specific pages..
16:43 arne_ nobody with a great idea?
16:44 pmk65 arne_: Use conditions or create an EXT template on each of the 3 pages. And then clear tyhe submenu object.
16:47 arne_ i have a template record for each page, but when i clear the submenu (i wrote MENU.2 = TEXT to disable it...), the menu is hidden for each page when i am on this page.. i just want to disable the specific tree (ONE tree, not all...)
16:48 arne_ i hoped there is an option like the "hide in menu"-option.. maybe "hide subpages in menu" ;-)
16:48 PiMB excludeUidList
16:48 PiMB http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/TSref/HMENU
16:48 PiMB probably easiest
17:14 arne_ i dont get it.. where can i find the uid of a page in the backend?
17:14 arne_ i just see the pid (path: /....... [pid: xxx]
