Hi Jacob Installing TYPO3 on a mac is very very simple and it works instantly. If not something is wrong on your system but I guess everything will work just fine!
Go here: http://webempoweredchurch.org/services/download-packages/ download the Mac Server Package: http://webempoweredchurch.org/fileadmin/proj/wec_starter/src/wec_macdemo.dmg it is a .dmg file Follow exactly this instructions. http://webempoweredchurch.org/services/download-packages/localdemomac/ afterwords - in about 5 Minutes or less after downloading the package you will have a complete TYPO3 website with installed news, forum, staff directory, gallery, podcasting, jobboard, guestbook, blog, flash presentation, ical, Googlemaps, Memeber Area, and lots of ready to go Themes which you can switch instantly or backup or copy them with a click so you can modify them to your needs - at your fingertips. You can even install more skins and check out the look and the features of your new mac website here http://demo.webempoweredchurch.org The Mac Server Package has all requirements for TYPO3 already installed! Nothing to worry about. As this server package is still 4.4.2 you should as a first step upgrade it to 4.5.2 Therefore you need to run the update wizard in installtool after you have downloaded the 4.5.2 source code. Follow EXACTLY every step in this wizard especially the point where it says to insert the special code on top of your .htaccess file!!!, insert this code by hand (copy paste from the wizard) than do a database compare and you have a newest TYPO3 up and running in less than 10 Minutes. If you now want to have other extensions in - no problem - simply install them from TER or deinstall Things you don't need. If you are not sure if you will need a feature later on I suggest you to use the build in Feature enable stuff which you will find in WEB - Site Config - choose the Rootpage and than in the dropdown "feature" simply disable your blog if you don't want it or the guestbook (prayer-connector) if you don't need it. DON'T delete it as all these extensions have been setup to work instantly in your new TYPO3 website and you save a lot of time in reinventing wheels if you simply either MOVE these features to a reserved place or simply leave them where they are as hidden. If you finally are very sure you won't need them there is time enough to delete them ;-) You can find here lots of materials how to work with your newly installed TYPO3 package: http://webempoweredchurch.org/support/how-to-build-your-website/ here you can learn how to build a website and more advanced http://webempoweredchurch.org/support/classes/ work through all those classes here. They show you with videos what you can do and you can follow it step by step for the installed ready to start plugins of this package http://webempoweredchurch.org/support/plugins-page/ you will find more information here as you want to customize your website you can use professional services http://webempoweredchurch.org/services/customize-your-website/, or us or many others or you go here: http://templavoila.busynoggin.com/ here the framework this package is using is described in detail and you only need to follow its instructions exactly step by step and you can customize look and functionality of your skins very easy But as you could see already on the demo website their are lots of templates already in TER. go there: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/?tx_terfe_pi1%5Bview%5D=search&no_cache=1&tx_terfe_pi1%5Bsword%5D=TV+Framework+Skin and search for TV Framework Skin if you even wanna be a bit more flexible with less programming, you can choose also to install http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/t3xcscimp/current/ with this extension you can modify the fonts, colors very easy. Until now no TV Framework Skin using this extensions power has been released but you can easily modify all other skins to work with it, you only need to ensure that the body tag of the framework does not get overwritten, so don't use the bodytag stuff from this extension. Let's create/modify a skin: To do so you need to first choose a skin and click the COPY button to copy your skin from EXT to fileadmin/config/skins/skin_name... Now you can start modifying your skin to your needs. Make your changes in the files of the subfolders. If you need ideas for some new template designs which you can easily use to setup a new skin go here: http://dotemplate.com modify the template header/footer and text parts to your needs and download the complete html template now compare and insert the html codes into your copy of an existing template (in the typoscript section - simply recreate the template in your skin) load the css file of the downloaded html file into the css folder and ensure that it gets loaded last. (lateron you can modify the mainstyles CSS with this css code) It should work more or less instantly. If not check if you have the same divs etc in your typoscript template as in the html. If you have now modified your skins and created a new look or functionality or both than go here: http://typo3.org/extensions/extension-keys/ login and register an extension key - Attention: let it start with: skin_yourname_skinname (i.e. skin_xyz_sunnyday) and in the description let it start with "TV Framework skin: name of the skin" (i.e. TV Framework skin: XYZ Sunny Day) This ensures that all the skins for the frameworks get listed at one place in TER and the short name inbetween ensures also that it will be easy to find your specific skins easily. i.e. in TER you find already skins form Ron Hall - Busy Noggin: skin_bn_nameOfTheSkin or usat ThaiPo3 T3Pack skin_abc_nameOfTheSkin or Typo3 Distributions skin_dt3_nameOfTheSkin or wec (webempowerdchurch) skin_nameOfTheSkin (they don't use a short identifier until now!) You need to rename the skin folder with the name of your skin (i.e. skin_xyz_sunnyday) further name changes you need to do in "skin_xyz_sunnyday/ext_emconf.php" and you need to change the text in "skin_xyz_sunnyday/info.txt" accordingly fill in the name of the extension at the end of second line (replace the existing one - all letters are small!) fill in the description and Name as suggested above (replace the existing once) go to author and following fields (replace the existing information with yours and don't forget to fill in your email so people can contact you later if they i.e. would like to get your services, give feedback, suggestions and bugs etc.) Now you copy the modifications/creation of your new skin from fileadmin with its complete file and folder structure as it is to typo3conf/ext (i.e. use quixplorer) Go to your extension Manager and install the new skin and choose it in site config - it should work instantly - test it - especially also the description in the info file and the preview image if it matches your specific skin Go back to the extension manager and now upload your newly created skin_extension to TER and make it public so everyone in the community can choose and use it from TER. ----------- If you have further questions feel free to contact us via PM.
