Currently I’m investigating micro sites using TYPO3. Looks promising… I am actually pretty excited about this and will be posting more on this most likely!

[update] Well, the first micro site is in the air! Check it at http://www.kindle-bookreader.com and make the cash flow

This is already the second week on my new job at Eyeleds International – a company that produces high quality, ultra flat and sustainable LED light solutions.

Finding out more on LED lighting I see it really has the future in the lighting industry.

The enthusiasm of my colleagues is catching – and I find myself looking around for the presence of these products.

Since I will spend most of my time on internet marketing activities, a link to their site from my own must be present, right?

We will be working on a complete overhaul of the site in the coming months, building it from the ground on up on the TYPO3 Open Source CMS.

To be continued!

Sometimes it is handy to be able to leave a Sysfolder in the branch where users have access to. In order to hide these sysfolders from them though (’cause mainly it’ll be technical reasons) you can use the following TS in the user or usergroup TSConfig:

<code>
options.hideRecords.pages =  (id of the page)
</code>

It’ll do the trick!

You are wondering when you would like to use it? For example with TemplaVoila and the DAM module.

I have been wondering a while on how to set headerimages in a nice way to Typo3 pages. After some searching and “workarounds”, this is where I have ended (for now… )

# Image from the page properties
temp.headerImage = IMAGE
temp.headerImage {
	file.import = uploads/media/
	file.import.data = levelmedia:-1, slide
	file.import.listNum=0
}

Let’s go down to it right away:

1. Open your main (plugins) template in Typo3, in full glory (you can figure out what that means!)
2. Add in the ‘Include Static’ section: plugin.alt.print (98)
   1. this adds the page type 98 to your site
3. Now  you can use the constants to add some special cs/html to make it feel the way you like it to be
   1. plugin.alt.print.file.stylesheet = fileadmin/templates/res/print.css
   2. plugin.alt.print.file.template = fileadmin/templates/print.html
4. Now add the following code in the TS where you built your (footer) menu:
   1. stdWrap {
      append = TEXT
      append.value = print
      append.typolink.title = printversion of this page
      append.typolink.parameter.dataWrap = {TSFE:id},98
      }
   2. This will add a link entitled print to the menu and will generate the correct pagetype.
5. This works with SimulateStatic (print.34.98.html) as a charm!
6. And why not with the rest? It will!

Have fun!

Here a easy typoscript tip on how to get static content (either a logo, footertext or something else that will be visible on every page of your webbrowser):

[TS begin]

lib.logo = CONTENT
lib.logo {
table = tt_content
select.pidInList = X /* fill in here the ID’s you want here */
select.where = colPos = 0 /* if needed… */
}

[TS end]

And here the same code, ready to copy – paste:

[TS begin]

lib.myObject = CONTENT
lib.myObject {
table = tt_content
select.pidInList =
select.where = colPos =
select.languageField = sys_language_uid
}

[TS end]

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!
