Hoewel deze url natuurlijk bij uitstek geschikt zou zijn voor een Nederlandstalig blog over TYPO3 heb ik er voor gekozen om deze content te behouden vanwege de bezoekers die hier komen.

Op termijn zal ik deze URL waarschijnlijk ook gaan gebruiken voor de blog die nu staat op http://henjohoeksma.nl

Op dat weblog komen artikelen in het Nederlands over o.a. TYPO3, maar ook QuickTips, documentatie, extensies die ik heb geschreven etc.

See you there!

After a little search I found already a patch has been written to get this fixed and it is in the current core (I am working on 4.2.10 here, not sure when it was included though).

The solution is quite straightforward: you already had the possibility to specifically allow new tables using

mod.web_list.allowedNewTables

but now you can also use

mod.web_list.deniedNewTables

to meet your needs… Especially if you use it together with the hideTable setting…

How could it be? TYPO3 loosing from WordPress which I stopped using fervently after discovering the power of TYPO3… I felt abandoned, a little betrayed actually…

And now it happens to me again. Why? Yesterday I saw a movie on youtube about a guy installing a WordPress site, with a unique theme and… a shop in less than 5 minutes. He even had a product in and added a payment solution in that time… And now… Now I just upgraded to the newest version of WordPress fully automatically…

I think I need to start looking if Users/Permissions/Roles and localization have been improved as dramatically as this…

Should I consider trading TYPO3 for WP?

I have come to love the TYPO3 way of things, the power, the community, the friends in freelance collegeaus that I met… So should I? Or should I not?

Well – it worked like a charm so I am happy and decided to do what I just did now: save this information if it ever happens again and I am left picking my brain where and when I had dealt with that issue before!

Email have my tasks, my background info – it’s the core of the life in business

I always loved gmail’s way of labeling things. It was fast, easy and good searchable. The only think I disliked was the fact it was online. All the time.

Recently I switched back from using Mail combined with the power of MailTags to using Gmail. I have put my system back up, using quick links to save my searches (which I do for getting projects overviews of all the containing tasks) and using Fluid with a Apple’s mail icon to overcome my feeling of  ’always online’.

It’s working for me after  a period of not working MailTags (tags were not reminded correctly, searches didn’t go too well, lack of SL support and since it’s there – I would need to pay again to upgrade…) – I am quite happy.

What I do miss a lot though is setting a tickler date to emails. Some emails just need to be snoozed for a day or 2 or three or until a specific date… No luck on that one, but my hope is up!

If you know a way of snoozing or tickling dates with gmail, please let me know!

Set the permalogin in the install to 1 instead of 2, and make sure you have the lifetime value set as well!

Do I need to say more?

One of them is the default MySQL preference pane. A little search lead me to swoon.net – they altered the pref pane in order to be compliant to 64 bit.

You can find it at their website: http://www.swoon.net/site/software.html

Tip: remove the old pref pane before installing the new one. It helped me

I couldn’t find a decent way of having linkable tags in my single posts, so I came up with my own: newstags.

It takes the keywords, transforms them into tags that are (optional) linkable to a page with the search plugin for news.

For now: just install, include static templates, and change the constant to the pid where the search plugin is located. Next add the plugin under the tt_news element where you get your single view with and your tags are there.

Make sure you restrict the search plugin from tt_news to only search in keywords. You can achieve this by setting the following in TS Setup:

plugin.tt_news.searchFieldList = keywords

It should be in TER soon, if you want it now, leave a comment.

Update: The extension is now available in TER right here.

If you were frustrated as I was, and this extension is welcome to you, please consider donating a considerable (just kidding) amount of money via paypal.

It is so far again. Recently started: the Mupromo software deal.

To be honest, I only bought it this time for Parallels Desktop. Maybe the rest will be helpful some day when it comes to backing up my dvd’s.

Parallels I like though. It’s better then the free VirtualBox which I have been using up until now.

What do you use to test websites with when working on Mac? VMware? Parallels? VirtualBox? Something else?

I’d like to hear!
