TYPO3 is known for its powerful and flexible caching mechanism. Understanding the basic concepts allows you to build faster websites that drive customer retention—visitors quickly go elsewhere if you make them wait.

A webpage produced by TYPO3 consists of various pieces of content, contained in semantic containers, called “Content Elements” in TYPO3 parlance. Content elements contain a given set of information—a header, text, and an image for example. This set of information is called a “Content Type.” Content elements and content types can be re-used or re-ordered, have their output visibility determined by some business logic, sent for translation, and much more. For us, the fact that we (and you!) can build our own blocks is one of the unique selling points (USPs) that sets TYPO3 apart from other CMSs in power and flexibility.

In Projekten bis TYPO3 8 konnten z.B. per RealUrl oder CoolURI einzelne Seiten aus der URL-Generierung ausgeschlossen werden. Dies war insbesondere für List/Detail-Ansichten spannend, wenn sich die Inhalte oder Seiteneigenschaften von Listen- und Detail-Seiten auch außerhalb des Plugins unterschieden haben.

Mit TYPO3 9LTS hat sich das URL-Routing-Konzept geändert (deutlich zum besseren!) und es ist nicht mehr ohne weiteres möglich, einzelne Seiten aus dem URL-Segment auszunehmen. Ein eigener Route Enhancer löst dieses Problem.

This week, I’m going to show you how to set up the TYPO3 v10 dev version on your own computers, and download and apply the latest patches. Next week, come back and I’ll show you how to download, apply, and test patches with Gerrit and report any bugs you find.

TYPO3 has hidden gems. One of them is the system extension feedit which adds frontend editing to TYPO3. It adds some options to the admin panel in TYPO3 frontend, and allows integrators to add more fine grained edit experience right into the content.

This post will cover most of the provided features, with screenshots and how to configure the extension. I'll also explain why I prefer the approach of EXT:feedit over extensions like EXT:frontend_editing.

Die Generierung eines title Tags ist für die Auffindbarkeit in den Suchmaschinen ein wichtiger Baustein. Mit einem Content Management System wie TYPO3 ist eine konsistente Generierung von Seitentitel gut sicherzustellen. Seit der Version 9LTS bringt TYPO3 eine eigene PageTitle API mit, mit der sich die Seitentitel sehr komfortabel generieren lassen.
