Introduction
With these videos you will learn how to maintain and edit the content of your TYPO3 website. We use TYPO3 version 7 LTS.
Please note: a "standard" installation is used in the videos. However, as TYPO3 can be configured very flexibly, it is possible that not all or other input fields than those shown in the videos are available in your TYPO3 website.
The text editor
Part 10: Creating and editing texts with the Rich Text Editor (RTE)
As soon as you want to create texts for your website, you will come into contact with the so-called Rich Text Editor, or RTE for short, in the TYPO3 backend. This allows you to enter and format texts in a similar way to a word processing program. However, there are a few things to bear in mind.
Part 12: Inserting texts in the Rich Text Editor
It is very common to process existing digital texts from other sources (PDF, Word, websites) in the Rich Text Editor (RTE). To do this, you can of course copy and paste these texts into the RTE. However, there are a few important points to bear in mind.
Create content
Part 15: The content element "Text & Media"
You will certainly work with the "Text & Media" content element most often. It is used to display normal text on the website. Optionally, you can also link certain files such as images, audio files or videos to this text.
Anyone who has used TYPO3 before version 7 LTS will be familiar with the content elements "Text", "Text & images" and "Images only". The new "Text & Media" content element combines these three content elements into one.
Part 19: Using file collections in the "File links" content element
The content element "File links" (described in video 18) becomes very flexible through the interaction with file collections. This allows you to automatically display the content of certain folders or files that are assigned to certain categories in the frontend.
Part 20: The content element "Special menus"
With the "special menus", editors can also create certain types of navigation menus. One example would be the classic sitemap, i.e. a table of contents for the entire website.
Another example is the "Section overview" type. This allows you to create a kind of table of contents for a single page, as you can see at the top of this page, for example.
Part 21: The "Insert data records" content element
Content elements can be instantiated on other pages using the "Insert data records" content element. In this way, content elements can be used multiple times on a website, but only need to be maintained once. Changes in the original element are automatically adopted in the instances.
Part 28: Access protection for pages and content
Certain pages or even individual content elements can only be made available to logged-in frontend users if required. In this video, you will learn how to restrict access to content. The creation of frontend users and user groups is not covered in this video.
Further functions (backend modules, multilingualism, search)
Part 33: The "Display" module
You can use the "Display" backend module to view the frontend output directly in the backend. It is possible to check the display in different display sizes. This is a particularly useful tool for modern websites suitable for mobile devices (keyword: responsive design).
Part 36: Multilingual websites - creating page translations
Multilingual websites can be realized very easily with TYPO3. The translation of a page is carried out in two steps: first a page is prepared for translation, then the content on this page can be translated. In this video you will learn how to prepare pages for several languages.
Part 38: Search and find in the backend
A search function is particularly important for extensive websites in order to find content in the backend. TYPO3 7 offers comprehensive options for finding pages, content or files. Compared to previous versions, the search for files in particular has been improved enormously.
