[TYPO3-english] pageNotFound_handling - best practice?

2014-01-22 Thread Martin Bless
Hello friends,

I'm looking for kind of best practice to implement the error
handling. Im on TYPO3 CMS 4.7 with a multidomain multitree
multilanguage setup.

So this has to be adapted to the new situation:

if (substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . '/', 0, 4) == '/en/') {
  $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['pageNotFound_handling'] =
'index.php?id=3158L=1'; }
elseif () {...}

Any tips?

[TYPO3-english] EXT:powermail 2.0.10 - translated form does not appear!?

2013-12-13 Thread Martin Bless
Good morning,

yes, I have to confess that I'm not an experienced powermail
expert. Now I have here a TYPO3 v4.7 and EXT:powermail-2.0.10.

The form is correctly shown in default language.

Q: How do I translate that form to other languages?

Create translations of each record of that IRRE structure? Should
that work? If I do so no form ist shown.

If it's an error - how can I trace it down?

All the best for you ...

Hi Dmitry,

Hi!

 Q: Do I need a full backup for these tables?

The first is good to have but if you clear cache after restoring the site, 
you can skip it. You can skip last two always. The second one is 
recommended to backup.

 I mean these EXT:realurl tables with 'cache' in their names:

 - tx_realurl_chashcache
 - tx_realurl_pathcache
 - tx_realurl_urldecodecache
 - tx_realurl_urlencodecache

I was hoping for a qualified answer like this - and you gave it.
Thank you very much!

- tx_realurl_chashcache

In a site backup I would include the tables of course. But do I
have to backup the data as well?

The goal is to have a backup that works right away when restored
and I don't want to loose information that the system cannot
regenerate.

Hi Xavier,
Hi Anja,
hi folks,

So if someone gives me answer to my questions, I'll happily write
it down somewhere else :)

that would fit perfectly into an upcoming TYPO3 Documentation
Contribution Guide. I once started that already to have a place
to keep some early notes:

http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/drafts/github/marble/DocumentationContributionGuide/

https://github.com/marble/typo3-documentation-contribution-guide

At the moments it's really a draft in an early state - but with a
conjoint effort this could change soon :-)

So, consider this as a wakeup call to all of you: Clone that repo
and add some notes about Questions  Answers you came across ...

Keep on typing ...

how can I open a 8-bit PNG image file in a reasonable way to make

Looks like the answer is to be found in this chapter:

Having good documentation now starts paying out!

langDisable1/langDisable

[TYPO3-english] realurl: How to change URLs AND keep Google ranking?

2013-01-30 Thread Martin Bless

I have a customer with a very complicated TYPO3 4.5.x
installation. *Realurl* is 1.11.1. I'm not very experienced with
/realurl/, so let me ask. If it's of common interest I would add
it to the /realurl/ documentation later.


Currently they have - well ranked - pages like:

customer.de/seo-page/topic-1
customer.de/seo-page/topic-2
customer.de/seo-page/topic-3

The seo-page/ is due to an intermediate (sys-) folder in the
page tree. Oviously it should be removed.

Q: How can I drop that part of the path without loosing Google
ranking?

This behaviour would look correct to me:

1. Have realurl issue better urls from now on like:
customer.de/topic-1
customer.de/topic-2
customer.de/topic-3

2. Have realurl still recognize old urls and trigger a redirect
with status 301:

customer.de/seo-page/topic-1 [R=301] - customer.de/topic-1
customer.de/seo-page/topic-2 [R=301] - customer.de/topic-2
customer.de/seo-page/topic-3 [R=301] - customer.de/topic-3

Questions:

Q: What of this is achievable by standard /realurl/, maybe
assisted by an additional existing extension?

Q: How would you proceede?

Thank you very much.

Martin

[TYPO3-english] Can't edit Content Elements in Introductionpackage 6.0

2012-12-29 Thread Martin Bless

Hi everybody,

what may be the reason?

I've installed the IntroductionPackage 6.0.0 and everything looks
good in general. But any attempt to:
- create a new content element
- edit an existing content element
doesn't work and leaves the window (pane) empty. Same in backend
and frontend. I can edit TypoScript template records though.

I've then updated to TYPO3 CMS 6.1-dev. Still no success. It
doesn't work with FF, Safari, Chrome.

TYPO3_VERSION: 6.1-dev
PHP_VERSION  : 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4

Example of request:
http://ubu239.mb.local/LinuxData200/intro60/typo3/alt_doc.php?returnUrl=%2FLinuxData200%2Fintro60%2Ftypo3%2Fsysext%2Fcms%2Flayout%2Fdb_layout.php%3Fid%3D53%23element-tt_content-213edit[tt_content][213,]=edit

The result is
   HTTP/1.1 200 OK

but the page is empty. I've run out of ideas.

Q: What may be the problem? What can I do?

Thanks ...

Nope. Nice link, thanks! I never knew it existed.

we got that ready like this just in time of the 6.0 release.
François is currently preparing some news and buzzes about it and
tomorrow we have that codesprint starting where we'll see how we

http://docs.typo3.org should evolve really fast now I'd expect be
become a major central source for TYPO3 documentation.

It's only just begun ...

But nevertheless, we can and should be spreading the good news of
having that docs domain around.

One more thing that was good: It serves static pages (= not being

Re: [TYPO3-english] (TYPO3) Surf as official product?

2012-11-05 Thread Martin Bless
Hi,

From what I picked up from the brand presentation almost every
product inside the TYPO3 universe can be prefixed TYPO3 

slightly different topic, but since the right audience is here:

Having TYPO3 blank product as naming scheme doesn't look
like a wise decision to me.

The real world shows that there are many situations where you have
to replace the blank. Think of urls or look at what people
choose as Twitter hash tags. There its usually #typo3cms. But
people do invent typo3_cms, typo3-cms as notations as well.

Not to mentions the SEO aspects. Try searching flow.

Having ONE word for a product could eleminate many problems.

T3!
If I were the king of TYPO3 land I'd even go for T3. I would
make T3 the super brand (Dachmarke). The approved products
would get T3CoolStuff as name.

my 2 cents!

Hello Tolleiv,

I'm sad you're not very constructive in your posts *in this

not at all about blaming or complaining. It is about different
opinions and getting the green back. And it's not about every
little change. It is about far reaching decisions made by some
not involving the community. That's in direct conflict with the
argumentation that given for the renaming scheme that TYPO3 very

Now here I see something:

Imho typo3.english is a fine place to discuss stuff when everyone watches 
their language and tries to respect the work of others.

Alright, could be. The advantage of a dedicated typo3-about list
for meta discussions I see are:

We usually have different groups for different topics.

People can select that group if they are interested.

You can post a short info in typo3-english about a new topic in
typo3-about. That way we can reach almost anybody and still keep
typo3-english clean.

Posts are being archived. If you want to find out later about what
has been said it's much easier it it's in an archive specialized
for meta stuff.

In contrast to you I think it will *reduce* the risk of initiating
flame wars.

@Xavier: I guess it's not the amount of newsgroups that's keeping
us busy but the amount of postings we're watching. A separate
group can lower that number, and IMHO it's easier to prevent
flamewars. Which reduces the number again.

It could serve as an information channel where one can let the
community know that some process is going on which will influence
the community.

Now that TYPO3 stands for many products I definitely see the
need to have a place to talk about how they relate. And no, I'm in
no way thinking about flame wars.

Looking back: It has been admitted regretted by Kian, Robert and
those involved that communicating the process of the rebranding
stuff did not really take place. All said they'll definitely do
better next time. I'm sure they have the best will. But *how* can
they do it if there is no place for this?

I'm afraid, if we don't have a mailinglist=newsgroup dedicated for
community issues the next communication disaster is bound to come.
Not because somebody is intending that. It it's due to the fact
that there isn't a well implemented way to start or influence
opinion building in the community.

There's one more reason to invoke a dedicated typo3-about group:

If we're continuing to have typo3-english, which I assume, this
now has a really broad meaning: It stands for everything that the
term TYPO3 now encompasses. I find that much to unspecific. I
don't think it's fair to ask everyone who is interested in
community developments that (s)he has to scan the typo3-english
list for that.

that there isn't a well implemented way to start or influence
opinion building in the community.

There's one more reason to invoke a dedicated typo3-about group:

If we're continuing to have typo3-english, which I assume, this
now has a really broad meaning: It stands for everything that the
term TYPO3 now encompasses. I find that much to unspecific. I
don't think it's fair to ask everyone who is interested in
community developments that (s)he has to scan the typo3-english
list for that.

In fact, I'm much more seeing the chances of having a
typo3-about list.

I somebody comes up with a better solution: Let's see and have
that!

2012-10-20 Thread Martin Bless
Hi Tolleiv,

it's nice you took the time for a longer answer.

The way you all responded to Rasmus is exactly what's keeping 
the actually active people away from these newsgroup discussions.

We all? Please don't generalize. I don't think I've written a
single word in this thread that was unpolite or flamelike. Most
people in this thread have given serious and respectful answers.

Please forgive me: I didn't know Rasmus. I've never met him
before. I didn't know he exists. But, as I wrote: I like the way
he writes and the way he tries to answer questions. Still we
disagree. But that's something else. I'm looking forward to the
day I can meet him.

Why didn't you start the discussion in a polite way and asked for 
further explanation on the lost green and instead brought up a your 
own lets revert everything proposal.

I don't think I have done anything in an unpolite and or offending
way. Please keep the time flow in mind: Until I started this
thread there had been *no* public explanations at all why the
green had gone. Except what Robert told in the keynote. 

And I never made a let's revert everything proposal. So please
don't continue saying that.

How did you expect people to react?

It's all about:
- telling that I'm upset with all orange
- finding out if I'm alone and what others think
- hoping to get explanations

But mostly I did expect and I'm expecting still that somebody
seriously considers to put that green back there. Could we do
that? Pros and cons? You talked of people ranting against every
tiny change. Well, if it's a tiny change, why not take that back?

I saw how the community reacted when the T3O stuff was brought to 
preview last year - angry blogposts, useless blaming never asking for 
reasons - all of that, but no additional contribution. And even the ones 
that seemed to be constructive didn't get up and do things. The same 
happens over and over again.

That's why I would like to break that. One reason for that is a
structural on: If we don't provide a suitable place for those
discussions they will happen somewhere else with 100% likelyhood.

If we do something about it we have a chance to reduce the number
of misunderstandings and flamewars.

Sure, more and more communication is good - 
but look at the way you (community) communicate back.

Please don't do that general blaming.

The TYPO3 association was always asked to communicate more, especially 
regarding the budgets - right at the moment the budget applications [1] 
have got ~310 responses. Assuming that the authors responds are counted 
in, these 49 budget proposals together just got as much attention as 
this single flame.

Please try to understand that it's not a flame but a valid
request.

I am being very constructive when I say that another newsgroup isn't 
needed,

Ok, I understand what your're saying. Let me ask: it isn't
needed - does that mean you could still go with it? Or would you
object?

I'm still thinking we should have that group. And we had already:
 For the proposal:
 +1 by Gina
 +1 by Robert (Lembke)
 +1 by me
 +1 Andi (lastname)
 +1 Ben van't Ende (expressed in PM)
+1 Christian
+1 Steffen Gebert (from personal note)


but better language and actually useful discussions in the ones 
we have.

I think we all can follow that wish. But we'll probably have to
face the fact that opinions about what is a useful discussion
will differ very much. I think we'll just have to stand and accept
that.

Cheers!

Hi Rasmus  all,

please have look at this comparison:

The little images are taken from http://neos.typo3.org where they
are rushing through the TYPO3 Neos Buzz right now. Sizes are 30x30
pixels as on neos.typo3.org.

*What is better with the all orange version?*

One thing we see is that the logo needs to be much bigger than
before.

And *my* brain still gives me the illusion of seeing a 3D like
logo in case of the orange/green. The all orange one looks flat to
me as if it were a sticker on a window pane I'm looking through.

Rasmus,

I don't doubt your intentions a second. Somewhere here must the
important thing be hidden that I don't understand:

End goals are, from my point of view:

* Visually understructure the major product changes happening (basically 
telling the world we're making new stuff)

* Strengthen the most essential markers of the TYPO3 visual identity 
(name, logo shape, color, font, HCI of our products etc.)

* Simplify everyones ability to easily adhere to our CI

I simply find that taking away the green is working against it. 

Honestly, I really try to understand *how* you happen to come from
your intention to the conclusion. What in the above do you see
exactly intensified or facilitated by removing the green? What
would not work *with* the green?

More than interested ...

Hi Gina,

it's good to see that you post sounds friendly and appreciating.
Thanks for that.

lets do a time travel back in time... to the moment when we switched the
triple sheet logo to the orange/green logo.

But: As you point out: Thanks to Rasmus that was the moment when
the TYPO3 logo switched from just a nice icon to a
professional logo/brand. And we've had six remarkable years with
professional marketing. And this icon IS a success. So there's
much more to loose now.

i'm taking this discussion serious

I'm really thankful for that.


it is the second time by rasmus (so i really trust in his professionalism)
and since the two former changes enhanced things, i'm sure this third will too.

Oops, that's the attitude I can't tune in. What a burdon for
Rasmus. Is he garanteed to be right? We would not base other
important decisions in our lives on what experts say only because
they are professional experts. Usually we never stop thinking
ourselves and we keep on listening to our own feelings.


last but not least the communication takes place.

Ok, go ahead, you can thank *me* for that :-) But no, seriously,
I'm always looking for *concrete* steps that can be done.

Proposal:
To improve communication: I'm proposing to implement a mailing
list typo3-about @lists.typo3.org to have the right space for

This is just complaining about the past. It's not constructive. It

Kay's idea is good 

Yes :-) Thanks. So I have another +1. Although I'm Martin. But the
name doesn't matter much.

but as with most lists beside the main mailinglist english
it will reach again not all not the whole community.

Sure. But since this is just a complaint it doesn't help in any
way. So just leave that part away.

Re: [TYPO3-english] Rebranding: Get the green back

2012-10-10 Thread Martin Bless
Hello Rasmus,

first of all I'd like to say that I really appreciate your post
and like reading it because it's full of enthusiasm. And you're
trying to go for the best solution. Same with me: so enthusiasm
and striving for excellence is what brings us together here. Very
good.

And I'm really trying to understand. So I read your post several
times. Let me try to reflect what I understand and how I see it:

That printing and displaying the green color has always given us 
problems

I understand that two colors may be more expensive in print than
one. But that's the price for having a more expressive logo.

I understand that some people somewhen are not capable of printing
two colors correctly. Do we have to adapt to those people?

I've never ever seen a misprint that would question my inner
representation of that nice and beautiful orange/green
symbol+word brand (symbol) TYPO3 that I like.

Actually when I really try hard to think of badly reproduced
colors this one comes into my mind. Here it's the orange being
more troublesome: http://www.typo3ugms.de/ But of course it's
clearly not a fault of TYPO3. I'd never conclude we better
simplify our logo to avaoid *that* kind of error.

Some may be more annoyed by the green in misprints, others by the
deviations of orange. That's personal experience and preference.
The solution to this is: Print the right colors. It's only two.
And RGB and CMYK values are known. Let's correct the error where
it occurrs. We from the official side of the TYPO3 community
should be able to handle those two colors and avoid misprints.

In regard to the cognitive aspects of - connecting colors - to name - to 
product experience, the green has been quite problematic because it 
differs so much. It's been printed in anything from yellow'ish lime to 
dark leaf-like greens. Due to the differences of appearance of the 
green, the color is never really truly established as a solid mental 
marker.

How can you say that? Do you take into account that I'm -
desperately - trying to inform you that it's just the other way
round for me? The green IS established. All over the web and in
many brains. What do all the +1 in this thread tell you?

I know that's partially an assumption I make - I don't have 
numbers to prove that point in particular - I do believe it's correct, 
though :-)

What do you mean by partially assumption? What is the other
part? Does partially mean you have any data?

The orange, however, even though it is also printed and displayed in 
many variations, seem to look more the same - regardless of the color 
differences, it reminds the brain of, well... Our Orange.

No comment.

For the record, I do agree that the 2 colored old version of the logo 
was highly recognizable.

I'm glad you're admitting that. I think it's obvious - should be a
simple truth and common sense. However it's amazing to see that
some participants in this thread don't agree to that unless a
brand expert like you gives that statement too.

I proposed removing the green back in 2011 but I have to admit that, 
even after just introducing the then new logo in 2006, it quickly 
appeared to me that it was not an optimal decision to have that 2 
colored logo. Partly because of the above mentioned technical problems.

So this has been a process that has been going on for a long time.
I didn't know about that:

- Why didn't you tell the public?
- Where do you communicate?
- Where do you keep notes on what's - basically - going on?

Of course I don't mean you should work publically or show all
sketches and scribbles. What a horrible thought. But who else but
you (read as: whoever is working on something) can let people know
*that* something is going on? I have the design mailinglist in my
newsreader. There wasn't much activity. I didn't see something
like: What do people think? Would it be ok to give up the green?

I hate to express my feelings but I have to admit to myself that I
was too naive. I trusted the branding/design team that the 2006
logo actually was the logo that *they meant*. So I fully supported
it. And now I really like it and stand for it. I'm feeling a bit
like a fool now.

Since we're a community with almost no centralized CI control, we need 
something that's as simple to handle as possible - to all kinds of 
people, with and without graphic design skills.

Oh NO, that *cannot* be the way to go. Are you saying we have to
create our logo for the graphically most incompetent and unskilled
users? Do they set the standards we are going for?

Do you notice that in effect you're saying: The average TYPO3
community member isn't able to handle a two colored logo? Then
I'd better deny that I'm affiliated with TYPO3 in any way.

Aside:
Olivier somewhere writes he's afraid that our discussions give
other CMSs a headstart or a good reason to laugh about our
community. An opensource community never is in one line. And when
it has discussions that shows that it's alive. That's no problem.
*Good* discussions 

Re: [TYPO3-english] Rebranding: Get the green back

2012-10-09 Thread Martin Bless
Hi Jigal,

if I can I would restrict this thread to the topic of getting the
green back. How do you feel about that? What about my arguments?

The shape is so unique and distinct that it really doesn't matter IMO.

As I wrote I surely have a different opinion there.

And I have reasons to doubt that. I studied and made my diploma in
Psychology. I learned programming for conducting psychological
realtime experiments on cognitive processes in visual recognition.
Later on I worked in a PR agency and learned - well - something
about how to deal with brands. The all orange icon will clearly
loose if compared to the orange-green one in terms of
recognizability (Wiedererkennbarkeit).

Do you know any brand experts that would put this in question:
You have to be very careful with brand changes. Don't change
anything unless there is really a good reason. 

Be flexible, adapt to changes, welcome the future and above all, 
contribute with what you can do best (not personally addressed to you 
Martin as you already do a lot for the documentation).

That's exactly how I see it and what I'm doing. It is not a
situation though where we have to adapt to changes in the world
but a color change *was made* by some that is influencing the
world.

Now I'm asking the same from those who - IMHO - made a really bad
decision. Well, in dropping the green, you just made an error. We
all make errors all the time. But usually we like notes from
others where they have found an error we have overlooked. And then
we are happy to take that into account and to correct it. At least
that's how I feel habits are as long as developers are concerned.

I think I have given good reasons to NOT change the color scheme.
I have not heard good reasons to drop the green.

Nothing really bad has happened until now except that those who
decided to drop the green now should have the Größe (what's that
in english: human maturity) and flexibility to admit a
suboptimal (IMHO: really bad) decision and to revert that.

I'm in no way talking about other aspects of the rebranding
process. If somebody wants to do that (s)he should open a new
thread.

Over!

Jigal,

 The all orange icon will clearly
 loose if compared to the orange-green one in terms of
 recognizability (Wiedererkennbarkeit).

The only solution to this problem is to do research.

Yes, that's true. But for some things there is so called face
validity. You don't have to spend much money and time to do
sophisticated experiments to agree with others about the outcome.

Let's say people are used to a longish three colored symbol: Red
on top, a yellow below and below that a green. Well, then you can
say, we want to simplify that and make all colors orange. We still
can identify those three because they have there place (analog to
the form of our logo). But color is such a strong additional
property. And of course it helps recognition a lot to have
different colors as well.

See this example:
http://www.clearlabelling.com/traffic_lights.htm

:-)

Martin

PS: Jigal, SCNR. Please don't feel fooled or offended personally.
That example has just come to my mind and shows what I mean and
what I'm feeling.

Hello Thomas,

but not for basic grid layout and structure. There must be a Core way 
to solve this very basic task. But there isn't. The only official method 
still uses markers.

I'd like to recommend to make contact to the Content Rendering Team
around Patrick Broens as well. He has build in many HTML5 elements
into the Government Package. And at the T3DD12 we all came to the
conclusion that the core should have functionality to group single
content elements as arcticle, section or whatever.

Hi Jigal,

We try to make the core more lightweight.

A perfect goal, I think. If functionality can be moved to sysexts or
even normal extensions that's great. We should separate that from the
question who is maintaining those extensions.

IMHO: If the core team is keeping those extensions in sync with the
core we're all better off. If the core team looses sight of those
extensions there'll be a disaster sooner or later.

We must make sure that important functionality is working and up to

Title:
new_content_el Wizard does not work if TYPO3 is installed in subfolder
of webroot

Descriptions:
Description

Really cool, these gridelements. Thanks! But:

The new content element wizard new_content_el does not work if the
TYPO3 installation is in the subfolder of webroot. The reason seems to
be that in Extjs JS the URL is created as /typo3/sysext/cms/... and
not as ((/subfolderPath))/typo3/sysext/cms/...

The supplied patch precisely shows what I mean. If I replace
/WEBROOT/SUBFOLDER/INSTALLDIR in the patch with the correct path the
wizard works.


HTH - Hope This Helps

[TYPO3-english] backend layout - any documentation?

2012-07-24 Thread Martin Bless

I just wanted to try the backend layouts for an existing 4.5 site.

Q: Do we have any documentation for this marvelous feature?
Q: What's possible in the typoscript like configuration?

When I google for it
https://www.google.de/search?q=typo3+backend+layout;

I get many hits - but none is kind of official or reference.

Not really better when searching for
https://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Awiki.typo3.org+backend+layout.

If the docs are missing I could help compiling them. It's a shame that
I have to admit: I have no idea where such documentation - once we
have it - should go.

Q: What would be the right place to hold documentation about the
backend layout feature?

You have to use either one or another. You cannot have both in the same 
installation without doing some nasty tricks.

may I add a small question here (but I don't wonna hijack the thread):

Given the case that you have been using simulateStaticDocuments in the

Q: What would be a procedure to make old simulatedStatic-URLs still

Hi Philipp,

Inside the EM extension you can find a checkmark for the old em. 

Where should that be? I can't find it. The more I think about it I
suspect another agency has modified the sysext 'em' directly. 

Uncheck it, 
save, check it and save again (don't ask ... it works that way).

Also, for development, you can just copy a blank package (or even an

index.php, etc.)

Then just add fileadmin/ typo3temp/ typo3conf/ and uploads/ to

That way you can easily test different checkouts and versions without any

Ok, thanks.

Triggered by the discussion in the core list about wheter to include

(1)
- install Introductionpackage-6.0.0alpha2 as .../Intro60a2/

Get the tests folder from what I checkout here:

  git clone --recursive git://git.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Core.git Core.git
  git fetch --tag
  git checkout TYPO3_6-0-0alpha2
  git submodule update --init

... and copy the tests to .../Intro60a2/tests/

(2)
Then I installed extension phpunit 3.6.10 from TER.

(3)
In the Backend I then click PHPUnit in the ADMIN TOOLS.
Select typo3, Run all tests: No greenbar feeling. There are errors.
Same with extension extbase.

Re: [TYPO3-english] felogin on every page?

2012-06-20 Thread Martin Bless
Hi Patrick,

Yes, replace the static form with the felogin pi. (pi=plugin, a site content
item)

You can place a in your site template like ###FELOGIN### and use typoscript to
replace that with the output of the pi from the felogin.

probably I wasn't precise enough. The old site indeed DID USE a static
version of the login form. Same static HTML code on every page. Could
have theoretically been in the HTML template.

I guess this is not possible with 'felogin' and 'rsaauth' as the
public key seems to be different each time!?

Re: [TYPO3-english] felogin on every page?

2012-06-20 Thread Martin Bless
Hi Christian,

The normal felogin plugin must not be cached.

Yes indeed, if that's true, that's what I'm concerned about. And
there's quite a bit of code needed:

src=http://...typo3/sysext/rsaauth/resources/jsbn/jsbn.js;
src=http://...typo3/sysext/rsaauth/resources/jsbn/prng4.js;
src=http://...typo3/sysext/rsaauth/resources/jsbn/rng.js;
src=http://...sysext/rsaauth/resources/jsbn/rsa.js;
src=http://...sysext/rsaauth/resources/jsbn/base64.js;
src=http://...typo3/sysext/rsaauth/resources/rsaauth_min.js;
input type=hidden id=rsa_n name=n value=BECE...98E87 /
input type=hidden id=rsa_e name=e value=10001 /

Q: And does that public key change each time the 'felogin' plugin is
run?

Q: Do we have a description somewhere about rsaauth, saltedpasswords
and felogin work together? I'm interested in the principles.

When the login form is submitted it sends 'user=...', 'pass=rsa%3A...'
and 'logintype=login' as post data to TYPO3.

Q: Where in the TYPO3 code (in which class) gets this login decoded
again?


This is not much of a 
problem in case of a dedicated login page, but if you really need it on 
all pages, you may want to look at the extensions that offer an AJAX 
based login. typo3.org uses one that looks quite nice. AFAIK it's not in 
the TER yet but available on forge.

That sounds good! Let me see ... Is it this one? Probably. This is
what it claims to do:


Use a separate call to determine if a user is logged in and show the
status on pages throughout your website. Lets you serve a cached
version of a page without USER_INT object to show information of the
current fe_user.

Provides some basic functionality to subscribe users, forgot password,
close account etc.


Wow, cool. Thank you, I think, I'll give that a try.

Hello friends,

I have an installation which used to have a frontend login form on
every page. Now with TYPO3 4.5.x the sysext 'felogin' comes into play.
And it uses 'rsaauth'.

That probably means that I can't use a static html form element any
more?

How would you proceed?

Do you have a frontend login form on every pages using 'rsaauth'?

[TYPO3-english] How to identify unneeded extensions?

2012-05-16 Thread Martin Bless

Suppose you take over an existing TYPO3 installation.

Q:What steps would you do to find out whether an extension is needed
at all?

- ok, disable it and see if the site is still working at all. But that
doesn't solve the problem of course.


Idea:
Search all code for some PATTERNs like in:
   grep -ri PATTERN  --include=*.php  *

What PATTERN would you search for in PHP files?
And in Typoscript file?


What else would you do?

If all else fails, grep'ing the whole ext

Searching page 111:
This page /is/ found. But how do I make the page tree switch to that
page?

When I enter 193 in the filter field of the page tree: This works
immediately. But how do I make the pagetree keep being switched to
page 193 when I clear the filter?

  1.value = I'm part one.
  2. TEXT
  1.value = I'm part two
}

You get the idea?

use   ...cObject = COA  to include more typoscript objects.

[TYPO3-english] Hook for postprocessing of copied pages?

2011-12-06 Thread Martin Bless

In case the editor copies pages in the backend I need to adjust some
properties of the pages record.

Q: What hook is suited for this?
Q: What's a good way to search for the answer?

... except from asking here :-)

Hello Ron,

this is exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for:

[Ron Hall] wrote  schrieb:

There is an extension that provides an API for producing content elements the 
can be used with TV or without.
The extension that provides the API is wec_contentelements.

I will definitely give it a try and see if I can handle it. And
there's that video: cool!

Thank you very much for now.

@anybody:

Do we even have more of those kind of treasures that should be known
by more people?

[TYPO3-english] howto: git checkout TYPO3 4.6.0beta2?

2011-09-06 Thread Martin Bless
Hhm, I'm still struggling with GITting things right. I'm doing:

git clone --recursive git://git.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Core.git
git pull
git submodule update --init
git log --pretty=format:%h %ad | %s%d [%an] --graph --date=short

git checkout  -b typo3_src-4.6.0beta2   9f8c9c9


Q: Shouldn't this lead to the same files I find in
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/typo3/typo3_src-4.6.0beta2.tar.gz?download
?

comparing files ...: I don't think they match.

Looks like I've gotten too pessimistic.  I didn't expect the TER to be
that much up to date. Yes, good idea. And the PDF is there as well:
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/doc_core_tsref/current/info/?tx_terfe_pi1%5BdownloadFile%5D=doc%252Fdoc_core_tsref.pdf
I'll put a wget in my folder.

What I like with the PDF is searching by CTRL+SHIFT+F. This gives a
list of all hits in the document in a separate window. And by
travelling down that list the corresponding spots in the document show
up. Very fast (and complete!) method.

[TYPO3-english] typoscript to check file existence?

2010-04-13 Thread Martin Bless
What the best typoscript to check if a file exists? I'm looking for
something like

  501.jsfile.if.isTrue.cObject = TEXT
  501.jsfile.if.isTrue.cObject.value = dummy
  501.jsfile.if.isTrue.cObject.typolink.parameter =fileadmin/script.js
  501.jsfile.if.isTrue.cObject.typolink.returnLast = url

Unfortunalety typolink will always return fileadmin/script.js no
matter if the file does exist or not

Have a nice day ...

If you do rewrite correctly (i.e. there is a rule how the link is

Sure. But you do understand that we would need about 1.300 rules to
translate old eradicated individual aliases to their corresponding

Wishful thinking ...
 An option would be great that tells simulateStaticDocuments to always

 Switching to realurl or cooluri ist not an option.

Check the appropriate pages and do a permanent redirect to the new ones. 
Google will accept that whithout loosing page rank.

Ok, that's an option. But not really, since there are ca. 1.300 pages
with aliases.

Meanwhile I've looked into the code. It seems that only a single line
has to be changed to make my dream come true:
$url = $this-makeSimulatedFileName(
$page['title'],
($page['alias'] ? $page['alias'] : $page['uid']), // gotcha!
intval($parameters['typeNum']),
$LD['linkVars'],
($LD['no_cache'] ? true : false)
);

I did a quick test. If I change it to 
($page['alias'] ? $page['uid'] : $page['uid']), // gotcha!

the alias isn't used any more for link generation. But it's still
accepted when received. 

Maybe I'll do some further testing and invent an option like
$this-conf['simulateStaticDocuments_noAliases'] and prepare a patch.

[TYPO3-english] simulateStaticDocuments: Getting rid of alias in URLs without loosing page rank!?

2010-03-30 Thread Martin Bless
A customer has a big and elaborated multilanguage site with a lot of
pages with aliases. The aliases were (mis) used to create some kind of
speaking URLs. So we have something like::
project.0.html

It seems much better to use the title for that pupose. Its longer and
translates automatically. So now we have:
   Project.project.0.html
   Projekt.project.0.html

I now could simply remove the alias, resulting in what I would like to
have:
   Project.123.0.html
   Projekt.123.0.html

BUT:
The site has fairly good page ranks. When I start removing the
aliases, the old links Google knows about will run into a
404-Page-not-found error.

Q:
What can be done best in this situation? The goal is to get rid of the
aliases in the URLs while keeping the page rank.

Wishful thinking ...
An option would be great that tells simulateStaticDocuments to always
use numbers on creation of links while still accepting aliases on
receiving.


Switching to realurl or cooluri ist not an option.
