00:14 frogstomp19 hey, does anyone have tt_products version 2.8.0?
00:15 frogstomp19 or know where I could download it
00:16 frogstomp19 anyone here at all?
02:45 Provito heh that caught me out, the new templavoila workspaces support
02:45 Provito was driving me mad why my custom workspace template wasn't displaying the live version, but this is very cool that you can test a template in preview mode and then publish when tested
07:40 KOOL Hi everyone, HOw i implement user permissions
07:40 KOOL ?
07:57 menak KOOL: with usergroups
07:58 KOOL But i want to give user restricted permission of some content elements
07:59 KOOL Like i have add 2 content element and I want for one element user should have full permission and for other restricted
07:59 KOOL is it possible?
09:52 BejjWrk morning.
09:58 PiMB morning
09:59 BejjWrk how are you?, PiMB
10:03 Winston_S hey's
10:03 PiMB great thanks
10:04 PiMB just 2 days left of work (well, not really, there is loads more) but then I'm off to austria!
10:05 BejjWrk ah nice, i could use some time off too
10:09 PiMB going with the entire company though..
10:09 PiMB so it's not really time off :)
10:09 PiMB but it's a nice reward for a good year in 2009
10:10 PiMB How's living together with your wife working out?
10:15 BejjWrk goin good, though stress at work obviously reflects at home
10:19 Spooky_ hello
10:19 PiMB obviously, but doesn't everybody have that
10:21 Spooky_ Hm, could someone maybe give me some directions how to configure the content output of an extension? :)
10:21 BejjWrk yea i guess, but its a bit harder here because the language barrier, its very difficult to explain :P
10:21 Spooky_ so that the HTML content is actually directly shown and not stripped
10:22 PiMB yeah, can imagion that's hard
10:22 PiMB well, nobody said it was easy
10:22 PiMB Spooky_ what do you mean exactly?
10:22 PiMB is it an extension of your own?
10:22 Spooky_ PiMB: yes and no. We use tt_news
10:23 Spooky_ if we put some html formatting, like <a href etc. in the content of the news article, it's not shown on the frontend
10:23 Spooky_ <a is converted to <link for instance
10:23 Spooky_ and <p> is stripped etc.
10:23 Spooky_ The same happens with a custom made extension. So I guess I have to configure somewhere the parsing of the content
10:24 Spooky_ although it does not happen for tt_content elements
10:25 PiMB hm, yeah you can configure that. but it depends on the extension and it's writing.
10:25 PiMB but I guess tt_news should do that normally.
10:25 PiMB do you use TV or css_styled_content or automaketemplate or something els?
10:25 Spooky_ hm.. there is a "content_stdWrap" variable for tt_news, in which I can say stripHtml = 0, but that doesn't do anything
10:25 Spooky_ csc
10:26 Spooky_ css_styled_content for tt_content
10:26 PiMB it's not a problem of stripping.
10:26 Spooky_ yeah I figured
10:26 PiMB it's a problem that the content comes from an RTE and is not parsed back through the RTE function
10:26 PiMB in there <link> tags are parsed as <a href=...
10:26 Spooky_ ah I see
10:27 Spooky_ so RTE actually makes <link etc., even though it shows <a href in the code? (when I view the code with < > in RTE)
10:27 PiMB true, because the <> in the RTE is also parsed before shown.
10:27 PiMB dive into the DB, you will see
10:27 Spooky_ ah ok :)
10:27 PiMB so probably there is some parsing wrong with RTE.
10:28 Spooky_ yeah, hmm
10:28 PiMB I believe something like lib.parseFunc_RTE or something like that
10:28 Spooky_ yeah, when I googled the problem, i found something with parseFunc_RTE
10:29 Spooky_ but I got the impression that the default behavior should be that it's parsed correctly. I look at that again
10:29 PiMB so, that's probably where you need to go
10:29 Spooky_ +'ll
10:29 PiMB maybe some TS overwrite?
10:29 PiMB dive into the typoscript object browser to see if it is mentioned in the plugin.tt_news config
10:32 Spooky_ thx, it was very simple ;)
10:32 Spooky_ plugin.tt_news.general_stdWrap.parseFunc < lib.parseFunc_RTE
10:32 Spooky_ same for our extension then probably
10:34 PiMB well like I said, depends on how you've build your extension
10:34 PiMB you can do 2 things..
10:36 PiMB use the stdwrap function and do it like this: $this->cObj->stdWrap( $yourvalue, $conf['your_stdWrap'] );
10:36 PiMB where your_stdWrap is the same thing as the general_stdWrap from tt_news.
10:36 PiMB so you can make a stdwrap around every item.
10:36 PiMB that's the best way to go.
10:37 PiMB if you only want to use the rte parser you could also do it like:
10:39 PiMB $this->pi_RTEcssText( $yourvalue );
10:39 PiMB but then it's not flexible via TS.
10:39 Spooky_ hmm...
10:39 PiMB depends on extension, time and programmer usually
10:40 PiMB if you don't need the flexibility don't do it.
10:40 PiMB if you'd like to publish the extension I encourage you to use the stdWrap per
10:40 Spooky_ so I can do, for example, plugins.my_extension.my_stdWrap.parseFunc < lib.parseFunc_RTE
10:40 Spooky_ and then in the php code I use $this->cObj->stdWrap( $foo, $conf['my_stdWrap'] );
10:42 PiMB exactly (if you're in the main function) I usually do a $this->conf = $conf so the configuration is available throughout my class. then you'd use $this->conf['my_stdWrap']
10:42 PiMB but yeah, that's the idea
10:42 Spooky_ kk, I think I will try that
10:43 Spooky_ ah, what's the first parameter of ->stdWrap?
10:43 Spooky_ the content?
10:45 PiMB yes
10:45 PiMB so a value
10:46 PiMB check the TYPO3 class reference for it
10:48 PiMB http://www.typo3-unleashed.net/typo3apidocs/latest/
10:48 PiMB search for stdWrap for more info
10:50 Spooky_ yep, thx :)
10:50 PiMB np, good luck
11:08 Spooky_ hm... ok doing ->stdWrap via $conf etc. didn't work for some reason, pi_RTEcssText did
11:09 Spooky_ do I need to fill $conf['my_stdWrap'] with some default values? I only assign .parseFunc < lib.parseFunc_RTE via TS
11:13 PiMB no, no default values should be necessary
11:13 PiMB I've used mine doing description_stdWrap.parseFunc = < lib.parseFunc_RTE
11:13 PiMB ohw damn..,
11:14 PiMB missed one tiny little thing.
11:14 Spooky_ ah? :)
11:14 PiMB it's not $this->cObj->stdWrap( $foo, $this->conf['my_stdWrap'] ); but $this->cObj->stdWrap( $foo, $this->conf['my_stdWrap.'] );
11:14 PiMB I've missed the . on the end of the my_stdWrap
11:14 PiMB sorry mate
11:14 Spooky_ aah right
11:14 Spooky_ hehe no problem
11:15 Spooky_ could have noticed that too :D
11:15 PiMB TS doesn't see my_stdWrap as an array, you have to set the . if you want the stdWrap options
11:15 PiMB that should do the trick
11:16 Spooky_ yep, that works
11:16 Spooky_ thx again ;)
11:30 PiMB np mate
11:30 PiMB glad to be of help
11:30 PiMB function is great by the way.
11:31 PiMB you can throw every stdWrap function known to man into your extension. so not only the rendering but like cropping or htmlstrip
11:31 PiMB great flexibility
11:54 Spooky_ yeah that's true :)
12:01 Prot0 Hello! :)
12:11 Denyerec2 Hallo alles
12:12 Denyerec2 Is there a decent library available for database string searching that can provision for "almost like..." type searches, as well as relevancy etc?
12:13 Denyerec2 It's a non-typo3 requirement but I thought I'd ask here as you're all nice :)
12:13 Denyerec2 basically I need a searchbox on a site, to interrogate multiple DB fields for strings. the current implementation is too primitive as it's only searching for exact matches.
12:16 Merlin Is there a way to set a custom javascript instead of the default one for GMENU items and RO? Or Maybe another way to generates two images for a graphical menu in order to make a RollOver?
12:35 Spooky_ hm.. another question: when setting an external link in RTE, the default link title is "Opens link in external window".
12:36 Spooky_ However, one time that default link title was translated into the backend language of the backend user
12:36 tPl0ch Hmm, anybody has some documentation on direct_mail_subscription?
12:36 Spooky_ but now it isn't anymore
12:36 tPl0ch there is no manual.sxw
12:36 Spooky_ does anybody know how to control that default value from RTE?
12:43 PiMB Spooky_
12:43 PiMB use RTE.classesAnchor.externalLink.altText =
12:44 PiMB ore something like that.
12:44 PiMB reason that the link is not translated is probably because you didn't fetch the languages from the language server yet.
12:44 PiMB via ext manager, get the languages you wish to use.
12:45 pmk65 Merlin: There's an extension for creating GMENU sprites -> http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/ggspritedgmenu/current/
12:45 Spooky_ well, but it worked once already
12:45 Spooky_ suddenly it's just english again
12:46 Spooky_ and the language of the backend is german (in my case) and not english
12:46 PiMB hm, could be that you need to update the languages.
12:47 Spooky_ typo3 reports, that everythign is up to date
12:47 Spooky_ in the ext-manager - languages
12:48 Spooky_ anyway, I justed the classesAnchor config to get rid of the title text completely, it's not that useful anyway
12:48 Merlin pmk65: Thanks, I will examine it
12:48 PiMB Spooky_ did it work?
12:52 Spooky_ hmm
12:52 PiMB (it should be TSconfig setting btw)
12:53 Spooky_ oh, right
12:54 Spooky_ no, wait, where does it go?
12:55 Spooky_ I am confused right now
12:55 PiMB TSConfig in page properties
12:56 PiMB http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/rtehtmlarea/1.4.4/view/5/4/
12:57 Spooky_ ok yeah that worked
12:57 Spooky_ but it's still weird that RTE uses the default english value for the title (while everything else, including RTE, is in german)
12:57 Spooky_ and it worked once before
12:58 PiMB might be an issue with cached llxml
12:58 PiMB in typo3temp folder
12:58 BejjWrk 4
12:58 PiMB you could empty out the typo3temp folder (not the directories, but the files)
12:58 PiMB 4 what?
12:58 BejjWrk sry, stupid key bindings heh
12:58 PiMB :)
12:58 BejjWrk doing plenty of stuff in a screened irssi
12:59 Spooky_ hm, is there any harm in doing so?
12:59 PiMB usually not.
12:59 PiMB that's why it's called temp..
12:59 Spooky_ do I have to update the language again after that?
13:01 Spooky_ nah, didn't change anything either, default link title is still english
13:11 Denyerec2 I wonder if anyone responded to my search question.
13:13 PiMB Denyerec2 if you find it let me know.
13:13 PiMB i've been looking for it myself :)
13:17 Winston_S Denyerec2, an ugly workaround would be to enclose the search string in % signs and use a LIKE ... sql query
13:18 PiMB but that's only front en back of the word, not like 'tere' did you mean 'tree'>
13:19 Denyerec2 Aye Winston
13:19 Denyerec2 that's similar to the current implementation.
13:20 Denyerec2 Except that if you search for "Green tree" you won't get a hit for "Giant Green Tree"
13:20 Denyerec2 because the two words you searched for do not appear adjacent.
13:20 Denyerec2 Looks like Sphyder and Sphinx might be worth looking at.
13:20 PiMB what are does?
13:22 Winston_S ugh. calculate the levenshtein distance between the search query and the database contents, display if d < threshold. but i guess there have to be better optimised ways.
13:23 Denyerec2 aye and Winston, worse is that the client jsut wants it "thrown in" because "Search must be easy"
13:23 Denyerec2 The guy who quoted for the spec totally overlooked this
13:23 Denyerec2 So I suspect a financial blackhole about to open up in their project.
13:23 Winston_S lets just get rid of customers. live would be so easy
13:23 Denyerec2 So true.
13:25 Winston_S maybe mysql soundex(). but that would mean having to mess with the database
13:25 PiMB 2 bad we need them for projects
13:25 PiMB I've tried it with mysql but it's damn near impossible and won't make search 'easy'
13:25 PiMB is it for TYPO3?
13:32 BejjWrk you could use the myisam fulltext methods ie. MATCH, its a bit tricky to write the querys and its _not_ insanely fast on large ammounts of data (like 700.000+ records) ;)
13:33 BejjWrk whats good with MATCH tho is that it uses fuzzy search, and gives you relativity score
13:34 compojoom hey guys do you have any experience configuring the crawler extension?
13:34 lindbergh hello folks
13:34 BejjWrk if youre gonna have millions of records Id advice looking on implementing something with Sphinxsearch (storage engine for mysql)
13:34 Winston_S hey's
13:34 lindbergh can anyone help me (or give a hint) about confighuring RTE
13:35 lindbergh what I want to is to get "font color biuton"
13:35 lindbergh sorry...button
13:35 PiMB http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/rtehtmlarea/1.4.4/view/
13:35 lindbergh I placed RTE.default.showButtons = * into page TSconfig
13:35 lindbergh and I managed to get all buttons listed in rte
13:36 lindbergh but I am obviously a moron or something....I do not see any button for changing selected text font color
13:37 lindbergh Closest to my demand is "text style" option in RTE....but I do not see any way to turn selected text into ie. orange or lime green or something like that
13:38 Denyerec2 Hmm
13:38 Denyerec2 I don't think we can use myISAM on this server :/
13:38 Denyerec2 fortunately it's going to be <10,000 records
13:38 Denyerec2 so MATCH would be an option.
13:42 lindbergh anyone?
13:42 lindbergh anyone can give me a clue?
13:48 Winston_S not me, sorry
14:02 Spooky_ hey PiMB, are you still motivated to answer some questions? :D
14:06 PiMB You can try. I'm at work at the moment. But if I have time I will answer
14:06 PiMB otherwise maybe someone else can help
14:07 Spooky_ I was wondering if it would be possible to extract, for example, the first image of the newest tt_content element of a specific page, purely via typoscript, in order to define a new IMAGE object, for a specific marker on the page
14:08 PiMB Yes it is
14:08 PiMB :)
14:08 Spooky_ hehe cool
14:08 PiMB I don't know the answer to the next question by heart though..
14:08 Spooky_ that basically means we wrote our extension for nothing :D
14:08 Spooky_ maybe
14:08 PiMB :)
14:08 PiMB TS can do a hell of a lot
14:08 Spooky_ you mean the quesiton of "how?"
14:08 Spooky_ *question
14:08 PiMB ;)
14:09 PiMB TS can be difficult from time to time, and i've (especially in the past) done some extensions myself as a 'shortcut'
14:10 Spooky_ hehe I see
14:10 PiMB I guess it depends on your past.
14:11 Spooky_ my past is pure PHP and no TS at all, basically :D
14:11 PiMB I've done the php shortcut's, while I've seen frontend developers do some pretty fancy TS shortcuts
14:11 PiMB and it's way cool
14:11 Spooky_ yeah
14:11 PiMB You should dive into it.
14:11 PiMB there are a couple of english books about T3 and typoscript (called mastering typoscript I believe)
14:11 PiMB might be a good start.
14:11 PiMB and the other thing I did was printing the TSREF and hang it on the toilet ;)
14:12 PiMB along with TSconfig reference
14:12 Spooky_ hrhr
14:15 Spooky_ well I think our extension is useless anyway. We wrote something so we can define an object with title, text and an image. And the image of the newest entry is shown in the main menu. But we could have used the regular tt_content objects for that too and just extract the right data via the extension from there
14:16 PiMB you could :)
14:16 PiMB there are many ways to a solution in T3
14:16 Spooky_ would be much more flexible in many ways anyway
14:16 Spooky_ yeah
14:25 Tobias_B hello, can somebody help me with felogin+feeditadvanced+simulatebe? I can login with my user at the login and it works but feeditadvanced do not show the toolbar... simulatebe is also configured a frontenduser to a backenduser,..
14:35 pmk65 Spooky_: Here's an example of accessing tt_news records using TS -> http://www.typo3tricks.com/typoscript-magic-tt_news-title-in-headline-or-menu-or-somewhere/
14:36 Spooky_ cool, thx
14:58 Tobias_B can somebody help me with felogin+feeditadvanced+simulatebe?
15:00 tPl0ch hmm
15:01 tPl0ch Where can I find the file "fe_adminLib.inc"
15:02 Tobias_B \typo3\sysext\cms\tslib\media\scripts
15:02 tPl0ch Tobias_B, cheers
15:02 Tobias_B np
15:04 tPl0ch hmm
15:04 tPl0ch I have a problem with direct_mail_subscription
15:05 tPl0ch I want to have the directmail subscription in the footer all the time. But ###FORM_URL### marker only gets substituded with "?" instead the full url. I think that might be a realurl problem
15:06 tPl0ch I found a fix, but that is pretty old already
15:11 slashwalker hi
15:11 slashwalker i have a problem with tt_news 3.0.1 and typo3 4.3.2
15:12 slashwalker when i use css_styled_content, tt_news renders single view with paragraphs. but then all other content gets filled with empty paragraphs
15:12 slashwalker i normally use cron_ccsstyledimgtxt
15:13 slashwalker how can i get rid of these empty p-tags?
15:13 Tobias_B use shift and enter and not only enter
15:14 slashwalker no
15:14 slashwalker you get me wrong
15:15 slashwalker my text in rte is <p>a paragraph</p><p>another one</p>
15:15 slashwalker front entd makes <p>paragraph</p><p></p><p>another one</p><p></p>
15:17 Tobias_B hmm i don't know i fix that issues with shift and enter... for a new line.. but you got an other issues
15:17 slashwalker when i don't include css_styled_content, it works. but then tt_news doesn't render p-tags
15:20 slashwalker static template is: content(default)
15:21 slashwalker static from template: cron_cssstyledimgtext, News settings, News CSS-Styles
15:22 Guest2010 hello, how to change the pagetitle in my own extension?
15:22 Tobias_B isn't it include static (from extensions)?
15:22 slashwalker sorry, of course from extension
15:23 Tobias_B you don't need content(default) do you have an own news template?
15:23 skut hi, does anyone know where the mootools extensions sets up to load it's javascript? I have it double in my setup
15:23 slashwalker when i add css_styled_content, news show up with paragraphs, as they should. but then all other content gets these empty p-tags
15:24 slashwalker without content(default) nothings gets shown
15:24 Tobias_B k
15:25 Tobias_B sry i don't know a reason about that.. did you try that with shift and enter?
15:26 slashwalker as said, that's not the issue
15:26 Tobias_B hmm sry guy i don't know what it is
15:27 slashwalker on old typo3 4.2.x with tt_news 2.5.0 it worked all fine. myabe i should downgrade...
15:27 slashwalker maybe
15:28 slashwalker but that wouldn't be a good solution
15:34 skut anyone using rgaccordian and mootools?
15:45 Guest2010 how to change the pagetitle in my own extension?
15:50 Guest2010 i just tried $GLOBALS['TSFE']->page['title'] but it doesn't work
15:51 pmk65 $GLOBALS["TSFE"]->tmpl->rootLine[0]["title"]
15:54 pmk65 or better, create a userfunc and use that with the TS config.titleTagFunction
15:55 Guest2010 can't I just do this in the extension code without typoscript?
15:59 paese hi all
16:00 paese i'm struggling with my fe-login. i've set up a fe usergroup and a fe-user. i set some pages to show only when someone is logged in and put a login box on a page. but login doesn't work.
16:04 Guest2010 how can I assure that the url parameters can't be changed so that e.g. the page 'spain' doesn't appears under the page 'africa' instead of 'europe'?
16:19 TheEternalAbyss Hi there, I'm very confued with tt_news. I need to make categories but I keep getting this error: Attempt to insert record on page '[root-level]' (0) where this table, tt_news_cat, is not allowed
16:19 TheEternalAbyss I looked it up and it says i need to have Use "General record storage page"
16:19 TheEternalAbyss [useStoragePid]
16:20 TheEternalAbyss enabled and I do have it enabled so I'm very confused
16:20 TheEternalAbyss can someone help me with this extension so I can get it working correctly?
16:28 MikePer Hello. I wonder if it is possible to use CONTENT to render data into an automake template subpart. And How...
16:35 TheEternalAbyss I don't know MikePer
16:35 TheEternalAbyss You ever use tt_news extension?
16:36 MikePer TheEternalAbyss, I am new to typo3, so the answer is no
16:37 Guschtel hi, kann ich http://pastebin.ca/1830153 <- das ohne bedenken ausführen? oder gehen dann ggf. extensions nicht mehr? Ich upgrade von 4.2.4 auf 4.2.12
16:37 TheEternalAbyss yea I'm rather new too
16:38 TheEternalAbyss been using it for only 2 months or so
16:38 TheEternalAbyss Can anyone help with tt_news?
16:39 Guschtel uh, sorry wrong language. i wanted to know if i can execute this sql: http://pastebin.ca/1830153 when upgrading from 4.2.4 to 4.2.12 without breaking any extensions
16:41 Guschtel and can i completely empty the typo3temp folder?
16:44 MikePer Is it possible to raise the amount of columns on a page?
16:45 TheEternalAbyss Yea Mike, I have a 4 column template
16:45 TheEternalAbyss you have to create a template and map it for 4 columns
16:46 TheEternalAbyss or whatever number you need
16:46 TheEternalAbyss Anyone can help me to get news working on my site? :(
16:47 TheEternalAbyss tt_news manual on typo3.org is horrible
16:47 TheEternalAbyss O.o
16:48 Denyerec2 It's not the best, that's for sure :/
16:49 MikePer Oh n, I meant in typo3 backend. There usually are 4 column like left, content and so on
16:49 TheEternalAbyss oh i see Mike
16:49 TheEternalAbyss I don't think you can increase the number of columns in your backend
16:50 MikePer The problem is that the pages I have to put into typo3 are so complicated that 4 columns (or groups) will not suffice I fear
16:50 TheEternalAbyss Deny: yup Deny :(
16:51 MikePer Youknow, it has to look 'exactly the same in the new CMS like we had it before' :)
16:51 TheEternalAbyss Mike: I don't quite follow. I don't think the complexity of a page matters. You just create as many content elements you need and organize it
16:52 MikePer Well, but how can I organize them into more columns than 4?
16:52 TheEternalAbyss do you have more than 4 columns on your site?
16:54 TheEternalAbyss on a side note: 60+ ppl in here and nobody knows about tt_news? :(
16:54 TheEternalAbyss cmon
16:54 MikePer Not exactly columns. But there is a header, the main content is 2-column in the upper half, one in the lower, then there is a footer to edit. That makes 5 if I didn't miss one
16:54 TheEternalAbyss that's 5 sections, not columns
16:55 TheEternalAbyss footer changes with each page or is it a sitemap?
16:55 MikePer footer is a news banner and has to be the same on each side but needs to be edited in BE
16:56 MikePer and yes, these are sections, but how would you group the data in BE for the sections?
16:56 TheEternalAbyss well your header doesn't change much (usually) so that can be defined in your template with typoscript
16:57 TheEternalAbyss the footer, i'm not sure how to do what you want to do. I'm sure it's possible, I just never tried to have my footer display news. Most anything involving content neds to be mapped in your template so you can access it using TypoScript and such
16:58 TheEternalAbyss sorry actually if the header is static, just hard code it in the template without worrying about mapping and TS (typoscript)
16:58 MikePer They even have data in the header they want to edit in BE *sigh*
16:58 TheEternalAbyss ah
16:58 TheEternalAbyss lol
16:59 TheEternalAbyss yea you'll have to map your entire template then
17:00 MikePer But that makes 5 sections...
17:00 TheEternalAbyss just make a template that as those 5 sections
17:01 MikePer But how can I tell data in BE to which section it belongs?
17:01 TheEternalAbyss once you create a template it's pretty much automatic
17:02 TheEternalAbyss cause you'd ceate a new page using that template having those sections defined. then just create content per sections
17:02 TheEternalAbyss for example
17:02 MikePer huh
17:02 TheEternalAbyss I made a template with four columns that sit side by side
17:03 TheEternalAbyss I called the column div classes "left" "mleft" "mright" and "right"
17:03 TheEternalAbyss once I set the template up and mapped it
17:03 TheEternalAbyss I go to create a new page
17:04 TheEternalAbyss and I can choose my template for it and i automatically have 4 columns in my backend
17:04 TheEternalAbyss chriscastiglione.com
17:04 TheEternalAbyss check out that link, just to show you the four column front page
17:04 TheEternalAbyss now that front page is divided: "top" and "bottom"
17:05 TheEternalAbyss I have 4 columns on top and 3 on bottom element
17:05 TheEternalAbyss my 4 column template is just a template for those individual 4 columns so can insert 4 columns anywhere i want to
17:05 TheEternalAbyss the 3 one as well
17:06 TheEternalAbyss in fact 98% of my site uses the 3 column template
17:06 TheEternalAbyss I dunno, maybe I'm confusing you more, and if I am I'm sorry
17:06 MikePer You did :)
17:06 TheEternalAbyss lol
17:06 TheEternalAbyss sorry
17:07 TheEternalAbyss what t boils down to is, I create an html template
17:07 TheEternalAbyss go to typo and create a new template for my content/page
17:07 MikePer You mean when you create new content in BE for a page with your template you can choose from 'left', 'mleft', 'mright' and 'right' where it belongs to?
17:08 MikePer Or can you even set the sections where it belongs to?
17:08 TheEternalAbyss well when I use that template, and create a page it gives me 4 empty columns
17:08 TheEternalAbyss and i put content wherever I want in those four columns
17:09 TheEternalAbyss mind you that the four columns are inside a "top" content element
17:09 TheEternalAbyss one big box to hold the small for columns
17:09 TheEternalAbyss so my page is divided into two sections
17:10 TheEternalAbyss well you can set the sections, but you'd be doing that in your template
17:10 MikePer but if you have a section with 4 columns and one with 3, how do you choose where your data belongs to? I have no idea where I could choose in BE where my 'text with pic' would leong to
17:10 TheEternalAbyss well let's use my site for an example
17:11 TheEternalAbyss The "Plasma" column has a mouseover button called "Low Pressure Plasma" right?
17:12 Guschtel can i completely delete all the contents in the typo3temp/ folder?
17:12 TheEternalAbyss Gushtel: I accidentally did that and it nothing happened to my site but then again who knows, I was REALLY new at typo3 when I did that lol
17:12 TheEternalAbyss Mike: In order to put that there
17:13 Guschtel TheEternalAbyss: probably ur irc client supports tab-completion: so you can just type Gu[tab] to spell my nick correctly :)
17:13 TheEternalAbyss I created my front page and used a template I had which divided my page in two: top and bottom
17:14 TheEternalAbyss sorry Guschtel, I'm using a rather lousy client
17:14 Guschtel okay, np
17:14 TheEternalAbyss :D
17:15 MikePer Well ok, your template has two sections? Like div or even an old fashioned table?
17:15 TheEternalAbyss Mike: then in the top section I clicked new content, used my other template for four columns and that nested 4 columns in my top section
17:15 TheEternalAbyss no, no tables
17:15 TheEternalAbyss divs
17:16 TheEternalAbyss many developers consider tables unprofessional. I honestly don't really care, but divs do make for far greater versatility
17:16 Denyerec2 I hate debugging tables personally. CSS is far easier.
17:17 TheEternalAbyss but yea I have a div class="top" and bottom
17:17 TheEternalAbyss Deny: agreed, but css can be very stupid sometimes
17:17 TheEternalAbyss once you have a very complex site (like mine XD)
17:17 TheEternalAbyss that's a whole other long story
17:18 MikePer Which version do you use?
17:18 TheEternalAbyss Mike: but you see what I'm saying now?
17:18 MikePer I am on 4.2 here
17:18 TheEternalAbyss of t3?
17:18 TheEternalAbyss i have 4.2.10
17:19 TheEternalAbyss I'd use the latest one, but my webhost uses 4.2.10
17:19 MikePer TheEternalAbyss, yes I see but I don't understand to be honest. I don't know how to nest templates or pages like you seem to do
17:20 TheEternalAbyss have you goen through the tutorials and typo3 documentation?
17:20 TheEternalAbyss here, let me get a screenshot of my backend
17:20 TheEternalAbyss oh well I am using Templavoila too
17:20 MikePer Not through all of course but I read some, especially about the automake template plugin
17:21 TheEternalAbyss I don't know if it makes a huge difference but it may allow me to do certain things that the defaul installation can't
17:21 TheEternalAbyss i dunno
17:22 MikePer Oww!
17:22 MikePer Oh I see! That might be my problem. I have to read about TV tomorrow
17:22 MikePer I think that might be the big difference
17:23 MikePer Thank you four the patient answers
17:23 TheEternalAbyss http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr262/TheEternalAbyss/Picture1.png
17:24 TheEternalAbyss there's a section of the front page :D (yea it's huge)
17:24 MikePer Ohh! Well, that clarifies why I didn't have a clue what you are talking about
17:25 TheEternalAbyss lol
17:25 TheEternalAbyss yea in such cases pictures are better then words
17:25 TheEternalAbyss that's what I was trying to explain
17:25 TheEternalAbyss just that it's all nested and 50% of that is all template setup
17:25 lindbergh hallo list
17:25 MikePer Need to leave now but thank you, will come back tomorrow if I recovered from the shock :)
17:25 TheEternalAbyss lol
17:26 TheEternalAbyss I'm here almost everyday
17:26 TheEternalAbyss ops her left
17:26 TheEternalAbyss he left*
17:27 lindbergh Can anyone pay attention to my question
17:27 lindbergh I am posting it now 4th time
17:27 lindbergh How can I add font color button in RTE?
17:27 TheEternalAbyss what was your question?
17:27 lindbergh I placed RTE.default.showButtons = * in page TSconfig
17:27 lindbergh I got all buttons but there is no button for font color
17:28 TheEternalAbyss sorry lindbergh, I don't know anything about that
17:28 lindbergh I want to change color of selected text....
17:28 TheEternalAbyss why not disable RTE and use HTML and CSS for that?
17:28 lindbergh Ok I appreciate every effort ... even it is "sorry I do not know"
17:29 lindbergh I need to use RTE for text editing
17:29 lindbergh client do not know nor css nor html
17:29 TheEternalAbyss ah i see
17:29 TheEternalAbyss the RTE tho isn't made for changing color :\
17:30 TheEternalAbyss cause it assumes you'll do that in css
17:30 TheEternalAbyss or I think that at least
17:30 lindbergh I do not think so....are you sure?
17:31 TheEternalAbyss look at the buttn "current style" in RTE
17:31 TheEternalAbyss I think that you can change color there
17:31 TheEternalAbyss oh wait sorry
17:31 TheEternalAbyss that's not a button
17:31 lindbergh know :(
17:31 TheEternalAbyss I copied and pasted green text
17:32 TheEternalAbyss and it stayed green so if they have colored text and paste it in the color shoudl stay. let me save and see if the green stays
17:32 TheEternalAbyss nope
17:32 TheEternalAbyss my css overrided
17:33 TheEternalAbyss yea I'm not sure. Maybe you can defined the text style drop down changes some colors
17:33 TheEternalAbyss :\ not sure. Font color is usually a css thing
17:34 lindbergh If you used TinyMCE you know what I am talking abt
17:34 TheEternalAbyss i've never heard on TinyMCE

21:37 snoy_ms i need something like a dynamic selectbox
21:37 snoy_ms the user have to choose a,b,c.. in the select box, if he choose a, he can add a new a object. If b then a b object
21:38 snoy_ms any idea ?
21:41 Thasmo snoy_ms, have a look at the SELECT object: http://www.typo3.net/tsref/functions/select/
21:42 Thasmo Or here on typo3.org: http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/core-documentation/doc_core_tsref/4.4.0/view/1/5/#id2506676
22:07 snoy_ms Hey Thasmo
22:07 snoy_ms i need some tca help, not ts
22:07 snoy_ms :-)
22:07 Thasmo :>
22:08 Thasmo QL up again?! :>
22:08 Thasmo oops lol
22:08 Thasmo ;o)
22:09 Thasmo snoy_ms give it a go. What you wanna do?
22:10 snoy_ms its for my extension...
22:10 snoy_ms the user have to choose a,b,c.. in the select box, if he choose a, he can add a new a object. If b then a b object
22:10 Thasmo are the projects stored in the same table?
22:10 snoy_ms thats what i need with tca config
22:10 snoy_ms no,
22:11 snoy_ms every object one table
22:11 snoy_ms 5 objects
22:11 snoy_ms its a must have....
22:11 Thasmo 5 different tables for 5 project types?
22:11 snoy_ms yes. because every object needs its own matrix
22:12 snoy_ms house, flats, appartments
22:12 Thasmo i dont know if that'S possible with TCA. but you could use a type field to display certain fields on a chosen type of project.
22:13 snoy_ms ok, i take a look
22:14 snoy_ms i have no idea how to use only one table in my case :-(
22:14 Conic hi all ;)
22:14 snoy_ms house have complete different options then a industrial thing
22:14 Conic is there an easier way for beginner editors to create tt_news entries?
22:18 Conic not in the list module maybe but in an extra module which is more intuitive...
22:22 Conic ok forget it, i think this should be easy enough :D
