Yes. It is one of the most hidden secrets of the default mailform element in Typo3, but it is actually possible to have it sent an automatically generated reply: here you find how!

Ever wondered why IE shows bigger headings than other browsers? If you are like me and walking your website releases the FF – Safari – IE7 – IE6 way, you’ll notice fontsizes are screwed up here and there. Of course you can write different stylesheets, what I did for a while. But recently I ran into this article that actually explains a good deal how to get stuff right, the nice way.

Enjoy reading!

Read a good article on 404 error pages in Typo3. You can find it here: http://news.typo3.org/news/article/typo3-4-0-1-404/

In short?

1. define a hidden page and call it for example ‘404′
2. make sure it generates a map if using real url
3. go to the install tool and set the pagenotfound handler to /404/ (or index.php?id=X, or 404.X.0.html – however you make your urls look like)
4. c’est ca!
5. and yes: it generates a correct header code
6. and now read the article – you laziness!

Put the following code into the TypoScript:

plugin.tx_indexedsearch.search.rootPidList = 4,7,21

This will index branches from your pagetree from these root id’s and down.

Now don’t forget to clear the index if it is indexed allready

Please note that the template must be set to ‘root’ in order for this to work. This means this is useful if you have a multiple site installation and not using indexed search on all of them.

Today I played around a little with a ajax search engine extention for TYPO3. Kinda nice. See my results so far at Stylence.

It is the extention mh_ajaxsearch and you can find more on it (in german) at: www.marioonline.at

Needless to say – my german is improving (thank you Bernhard ).

Update: While checking at IE6 I found the javascript to be buggy. I had no time yet to dive into it…

Well – there are several solutions to go for of course (allways multiple ways to reach the same sort of result – especially when working with typo3 ). The best working solution I found was using the efa_fontsize javascript. You can find a german ‘how-to’ here.
