TYPO3’s maker Kasper Skårhøj remembers it like this

2010-05-18T21:56:00.000-07:00

After developing the open source software for a long time, with the preparations through for initial release, Kasper was looking for some new attractive name for the – to be released software. The intention was to give a name like “ Freestyle “ which meant open and flexible, but this name could have been a hurdle owing to the presence and association of certain available products and their related trademarks. So naming the new software was hanging around in Kasper’s mind unless there was a new better idea that could be generated.

On one of the Friday nights, after regular working hours, while he was knocking at the code because of some unintentional typing error on the command line of Linux, he accidentally deleted a whole week programming He remembers chill feeling that spread over his body knowing that something really terrible had happened. He rose slowly, walked to the other side of the room, sat on the sofa and looked back helplessly at the laptop that was innocent lying at his desk.

Starring blank for some time and not knowing further what to do next, he remained seated. Withstanding the initial shock for the loss of the code but slowly accepted the fact that it was not possible to recover the lost code. But this phase went surprisingly smoothly as Kasper was confident that whatever work that was done was surely known to him and still a fresh in his mind. Taking this incident in broader perspective and knowing & realizing the fact that most of the things were known to him, gave him a comfort and confidence to work ahead. Working back, the new program was created and this new program ran smoothly and eventually the new product was much improved one. Immediately an idea came forth for naming it as typo. This name seemed to fit in particularly well as going by the history of the product owing to typographical error, the important part of the code was deleted and typo has something to do with the typography layout and its contents.

Originally there were Typo versions 1, 2 and 2.5. The continued success of version 3 made sure the three earlier released standard versions behind the product was a perfect support to the proposed name. Now, even with the launch of newer versions of TYPO3 like version 4 and 5, but still the name stands at TYPO3 with versions like 4.1, 4.2 & 4.3. Hence it is still the TYPO3 and TYPO3 CMS – a new age CMS.

Backend problems after update to 4.3.1.

2010-02-16T22:37:00.000-08:00

Nice Information about "Backend problems after update to 4.3.1." posted on TYPO3 Jack. Read it for more information.

Last week I have upgraded our 4.1 version to 4.3.1 (with the step of upgrading to 4.2 in between).

Everything went smooth, the frontend is working normally, it is the backend giving me headaches now.
When I log in on the backend the menu on the left is shown normally, the page tree is shown normally, but on the right side the content window is just showing the frontend website.

The standard Typo Mods like Template, List and Access work normally, but Page (with TV icont), Templavoila, News Adminand a few other just show the homepage on the right side of the screen.

Admin tools seem to work normally, just like the filebrowser. It is just a few modules under Page that don't work like they should.

The site runs on a sub-dir, htaccess which is used for RealUrl in the basic settings like the supplied htaccess with the typo install.

PHP version used on the server is 5.2.12, mysql is version 5.1.43.

My office system is a Mac with Safari 4.04, my other test unit is a Windows 7 laptop with IE8, Firefox and Chrome.

What I have tried:
- clearing browser cache; no result
- removing obosolete and beta extensions; no result
- clearing various caches in the database; no result
- clearing all temp files in typo3temp; no reult
- enabling and disabeling various extensions, clearing cache and try
again; no result.

Any one a good idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Menno

TYPO3 FLOW 3 1.0.0 alpha 7 released

2010-01-27T05:26:00.000-08:00

As a consequence from our own experience with using FLOW3 and due to your feedback, the core has undergone some heavy refactoring. The persistence framework is now fully self-contained and works without the TYPO3 Content Repository. A few hundred class names have been renamed to enforce more consistent naming conventions. And finally the resource management has been completely reworked and now provides an easy way to upload, import and publish resources.

Persistence

In FLOW3, objects which are supposed to be persistent are managed by the "Persistence" sub package which on his part uses the TYPO3 Content Repository as a storage backend (which in turn stores objects in a database). This seemed to make sense in the beginning, as the content repository is tailored to handling nested objects as we usually find them in FLOW3 applications.

Stupidly enough this setting kept us from using the CR for what we originally intended it to use: for managing content in TYPO3 5.0. Because if TYPO3 had used the CR's API directly, it would have circumvented FLOW3's persistence mechanism. Furthermore storing regular objects of an average FLOW3 application was probably breaking a butterfly on a wheel. After some careful analysis we came to the conclusion that we better turn persistence upside down: The Content Repository should use FLOW3's persistence framework to store its nodes and not the other way round.

So Karsten refactored the persistence related codeparts so that FLOW3 now works completely independently from the TYPO3CR package. During the profiling sessions for the next version we expect to tease out a significant performance boost – which you'll surely appreciate.

Resources

The resource management of FLOW3 has been completely reworked for this release because we consider it an important aspect of the framework, especially in regard of the planned media and other asset capabilities of TYPO3 5.0.

Files or other data being imported or generated by FLOW3 are now automatically available as resource objects and benefit from FLOW3's advanced object management. From a developers perspective handling a file upload is therefore as easy as handling any other submission of data: most of it is taken care of transparently by FLOW3.

Publishing resources is equally simple and yet powerful: all resources used in Fluid templates are published automatically to the web folder. For more sophisticated applications FLOW3's resource manager is prepared to deliver files to content delivery networks or restrict access to certain resources in defined scenarios. While these features are not fully implemented yet, they have been considered in the design of the new mechanisms. As a bonus, the default resource publisher support SEO friendly URLs.

These new features are all documented in the new Resource Management section of FLOW3's manual.

Upgrading

Aside from the various minor improvements and bugfixes we have also changed a few hundred class names to make the naming more consistent and intuitive. These vast changes require adjustments in existing FLOW3.

However, we guessed that none of you is keen on searching and replacing hundreds of class names. Therefore we provide you with a migration script for the renaming of classes as well as migrating your existing data to the new persistence framework. It's all a matter of typing these two lines at the command line:

./flow3 migrate classnames

./flow3 migrate persistence

For further upgrading instructions please refer to the changelog

Next Version

The focus for the next release is on important features for the security framework and speed / stability improvements for persistence.

FLOW3 1.0.0 alpha 8 will be released on March 1st.

TYPO3 version 4.3.1 released

2010-01-14T23:33:00.000-08:00

Just now the Typo3 - Core Team for the stable version of TYPO3 version 4.3.1 released. Originally, the developers had planned the latest version of the popular Enterprise Content Management Systems on Tuesday made public, but deviated from the planned date in favor of some other improvements. The latest version of TYPO3 is both a bug fix release and security release. An update to the latest version is strongly recommended, but not for all users of Typo3 immediately and hastily mandatory. Mainly affected by a serious vulnerability is a system extension that does not always apply.

With version 4.3.0 we have introduced the CMS Typo3 several system extensions. Among these is the system whereby authentication openid extension for the back end with a general OpenID should be possible. This system extension, it had to be activated separately to be used at all. Who has actually done it, and uses this extension, should definitely upgrade to the latest version of Typo3. The vulnerability allows namely, that users can use an OpenID, unauthorized manner, and gain any access rights to the backend.

For all other TYPO3 version 4.3.1 brings many improvements in the form of bug fixes. The core team is on typo3.org as far as these bug fixes, unfortunately, not very talkative. The changelog can be found but more than 65 bugs with the new version have been fixed. For further details you should look at the changelog.

An upgrade should be conducted as soon as possible by webmasters. An update of database tables is not necessary.

What Is Typo3?

2010-01-06T23:11:00.000-08:00

TYPO3 is a free development framework for Web sites, which was originally developed by Kasper. TYPO3 is based on the PHP scripting language. As a MySQL database, but can also be used as PostgreSQL or Oracle. The system is powered by two teams, one for each version 4 and one for version 5, developed.

Many functions can be integrated with the extensions of its own programming without writing code. Currently over 4000 extensions are for the most part from other providers, and are available for free. Available include news, shop systems or discussion forums. The system for different languages and is used by a user and developer community care in the world. TYPO3 belongs together with Drupal and Joomla! of the most popular content management systems in the field of free software.

It is estimated that more than 300,000 copies worldwide TYPO3 is used. TYPO3 puts high demands on the performance and configuration capability of the server used. The training period for a website developer is several weeks to months, for an author or editor, usually a few hours. A developer who wants to set up a TYPO3 India website has become intensely involved in the rule with the configuration language, TypoScript.

Unlike commercial software, there is no support for TYPO3 by the manufacturer or developer, but by the user community (issue tracker, forums, News-/Mailing system) and a large number of web agencies. Some companies in India also specialize in creating websites in TYPO3, or hosting services will offer pre-loaded with TYPO3.0.

TYPO3 is installed on a Web server and accessed with a Web browser. Apart from a browser is required to use any additional software. The use of TYPO3 is divided into three major areas: the creation of website designs, the configuration of TYPO3 and TypoScript by entering the site where the content can be done via drag and drop.

TYPO3 contains a so-called back end, which serves to maintain the website and a front end that serves as the home itself.

In TYPO3 "backend" maintained the website. Where content is created and edited. A text editor in which content, such as in a word processor (can be formatted eg Word), it just allows users without HTML knowledge to do editorial work. Alternatively, the process can also be directly displayed on the website (be the "front end"). This option provides a faster entry into the system.

Design and programming with TYPO3 can be made through the following elements:

Page tree: Changes in the structure and properties of the pages of a site
TYPO3 constants: Universally valid parameters
HTML template: HTML frame with known markers (for example, "# # # MARKER ###") and subpart (eg ""), the end of TYPO3 by various contents (site navigation, text, graphics, etc.) are replaced.
TypoScript template (see "template" - "setup"): This describes the internal configuration language is how to output TYPO3 content.
The output of pages without HTML templates - with pure TypoScript code - possible.
Extensions: creation of additional modules
PHP: The TYPO3 functions are written in PHP and can be realized by users who want additional special features, be amended or supplemented.

It should be emphasized that XCLASS functionality which allows developers to, each class has its own functions to override. There are, however, preferred hooks.

World best Web Content Management System (WCMS)

We are preferring Typo3 as world best WCMS. There are many sites with more than 5000 web pages working in Typo3.
Companies using TYPO3 for their websites.

TYPO3 is used in many place as CISCO, UNICEF, Air France-KML, The Economist, Total, Epson, BAYER, Ford, UNESCO, Audi, Philips, Handicap International, EDS or Bonjour Qubec Many fortune 500 companies using Typo3 for their web content management system(WCMS).
