Welcome to the new issue of the TYPO3 Newsletter. Here you will find news and interesting facts from the TYPO3 universe.

TYPO3 News

Dashboard for TYPO3 - The past, the present and the future

The dashboard will be one of the new features of TYPO3 10, but it can already be installed as an extension for TYPO3 9. Richard Haeser, head of the "Dashboard Initiative", reports here on the background and goals of the project.

TYPO3 tips

Use menu content element "Section Index" on hidden pages

The menu content element "Section Index" can be used to create a kind of table of contents for an individual page. This is familiar from Wikipedia, for example. At the top of longer pages you will find a list of the headings of a page; if you click on a heading, the browser scrolls to the corresponding position on the page. The problem: If you use this menu on a hidden page that should be displayed "not in the menu", for example because it is only linked to internally but should not appear in the navigation, then no "section index" is displayed. The section simply remains empty.

Configure contact forms & e-mail dispatch in TYPO3

For a form or email to be sent successfully via the website, it must be sent via a mailbox and the envelope-from and reply-to must be configured correctly. These instructions show how to do this.

Work more effectively with bookmarks

Bookmarks have been around in TYPO3 for years. Nevertheless, they are one of the lesser-known functions.

TYPO3 quick tip: Editing links in the CKEditor

Links in the CKEditor can of course be edited and changed at any time. In this short video we show a very quick method for this.

Configure CKEditor in TYPO3 for Font Awesome Icons

If you want to use an icon, e.g. from Font Awesome in the CKEditor from time to time, this is not so easy. The editor in the default configuration (Default.yaml) handles the i-tags entered in the source text quite unconventionally when saving.
