Tutorial for beginners on typo3 in easy and simple way
E N D
What is TYPO3? TYPO3 is one of the more advanced content management systems (CMS) for web based applications. TYPO3 is a good choice, because it's flexible, it has many users thus high maintenance and a dedicated community. It is however known to be difficult to learn. TYPO3Buddy tries to end that, or at least pave a way to start developing with TYPO3.
TYPO3 installation Basic requirements and recommendations • Before you get excited, make sure you have a working web development environment on either Windows or Linux, with at least Apache 2.x, MySQL 5.5.x and PHP 5.4.x up and running. You can either install Apache, MySQL and PHP separately or install an all-in-one WAMP or LAMP installation package. • I also recommend reading the installation guide on typo3.org before proceeding to the download page of the packages on that same website. Below you can find a brief overview of the recommended packages for both Linux and Windows based web servers. • When choosing a TYPO3 package, I do not recommend to go with the latest major/minor versions of TYPO3. After build number 6 (for example x.x.6) it's pretty safe to say that most major bugs and security issues have been solved though.
Installing TYPO3 on Linux TYPO3 4.5 and TYPO3 6.1 • Download the source and the dummy separately. Extract the source to a directory of choice. Extract the dummy in a directory of choice, but not the same directory as the source. In the dummy directory, remove the typo3_src symbolic link and replace it with a symbolic link which points to the directory which contains the TYPO3 TYPO3 6.2 and TYPO3 7.x • For TYPO3 6.2 and TYPO3 7.x, only the source is available (consisting of the index.php and typo3 folder). If you want to use a dedicated source for your website, just copy the contents of the folder in the source tar.gz/zip file into your website's document root.
If you want to use a centralized source which will be used by several websites, you need to store the source in a central place and create the following symlinks in the document root of your website: • typo3_src -> folder where the source is in, for example /var/www/libraries/typo3/typo3_src-6.2.x/ • typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3 • index.php -> typo3_src/index.php TYPO3 7.x • Please note that TYPO3 7 needs PHP 5.5 or higher.
TYPO3 Basics • You can access the install tool by clicking on "Install" in the System menu. Furthermore, check if all folders that need to be writable are writable. • In the TYPO3 backend, click on "List", then on the site name (in this case TYPO3Buddy). If the site name is still "New TYPO3 site", you forgot to change this during the installation. Go back to the install tool by clicking on the "Install" link in the "Admin Tools" or "System" menu. When in the install tool, click "Basic Configuration", scroll down and search for "Site name" to change it. • In the TYPO3 backend, you may want to tick the "Extended view" box (below the file storage), to make sure you'll also see the editing options that you will use quite often:
After this, the following things to do are: • Create basic file folders • Edit the page properties of the default Home page • Setup a basic page structure and a storage folder • Create the main typoscript template We'll assume that you've clicked around in TYPO3 for some time and know what the basic layout of the backend looks like and how it basically works.
