This small issue "costed" me some hours of lifetime, so maybe this saves someone else's time: An otherwise perfectly fine working freshly updated TYPO3 v11.5.x, updated from v10.4.x, threw 404 errors after hitting "login" on the /typo3/ login-page. Due to circumstances on that web hosting server, I had a hard time finding out that this…

WebrockerTIL: TYPO3 TypoScript conditions / include files gotchas
Today I struggled with a problem concerning TypoScript conditions and included files. I'm wrestling with TYPO3 for about 16 years now, and yet sometimes the most basic stuff trips me, like accidently creating nested conditions by including TypoScript files inside a condition. In a setup.typoscript file I had several includes, and additionally I wanted to…
TYPO3 8.7 translation handling of page media
Yesterday I once again got stuck with a seemingly simple task that quickly turned out to be a veritable rabbit hole: In a client website the header images are managed using the 'resources' tab of a page. File references are stored in the 'media' column of the pages table in the database. The site is…
TYPO3 6.2 content image in Typoscript
Here are a few lines of TypoScript code that really took me a long time to get to. In TYPO3 4.x, I would fetch an image which is inserted on a certain page as a normal content element (CE) and use it for example as an site wide header image. In this example, the image…
TYPO3 6.2: Image auf Seite auslesen - Rätsel
(Mittlerweile ist es gelöst, siehe Update(s) weiter unten) Ok, ich geb's auf. Ich probiere nun seit Tagen, auf einer aus 4.7 aktualisierten TYPO3 6.2 Version von dem contentAdapter=1 weg zu kommen, um in den vollen Genuss der TYPO3 Frontend-Performance zu kommen und die Seite, bzw meine alten TypoScripte, zukunftssicher zu bekommen. Wieder einmal stehe ich…
TYPO3 sys_category bug after upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2
After a recent update from TYPO3 6.1 to 6.2 on a site that makes use of the new sys_category function, I noticed a strange behaviour: Even though categories were shown in the front end and, if viewed with the list tool in the backend, also showed as defined, they were not selected on their according…
Notes from the trench: Updating a TYPO3 4.5 installation to version 6.2
What is this about? Currently I'm in the process of updating a fairly simple website from the now outdated "Long Time Version" 4.5 to it's successor, 6.2. Since I consider myself as not-the-top-notch-but-not-so-dumb kind of TYPO3 maintainer, and I ran in some issues that surprised me (and I didn't find answers right away), maybe someone…
(The Pains of) Displaying Random Content Records with Typoscript
Drüben auf welearned.net habe ich beschrieben, wie schnell einem bei TYPO3/Typoscript der Nerv und die Zeit davonlaufen kann und eine vermeindlich einfache Aufgabe zur echten Kopfnuss wird.
(The Pains of) Displaying Random Content Records with Typoscript
Sometimes TYPO3, the mighty opensource Content Management System with a large community in Europe, drives me crazy. It really is a Love/Hate relationship we're having. I love the fact that you can get everything done with TYPO3 and I hate the fact that sometimes it's so damn complicated to get things done with TYPO3, not…
Google Conditional Hack
Das Wochenende habe ich damit verbracht, mich über eine relativ neue Art von Hack schlau (naja) zu machen, den "google conditional hack": Irgendwann letztes Jahr tauchten vermehrt Seiten auf, die bei einem normalen Besuch mit dem Webbrowser ganz normal aussahen, sobald sie jedoch mit einem User-Agent-String, der auf einen Suchmaschinen-Bot schliessen ließ, besucht wurden, zeigten…
TYPO3: HTML-Seitentitel per Typoscript mit Rootline ausgeben
Mal ein kleiner TS-Schnibbel, weil ich das gerade für ein Kundenprojekt gebraucht habe… Aufgabe: Statt dem normalen Seitentitel soll der Pfad zur Seite im title-Tag erscheinen. Lösungsweg: Mit Typoscript dafür sorgen, dass der normale title-Tag nicht ausgegeben wird, ein Rootline Menu in als temporäres Objekt erzeugen aber ohne Verlinkung und sonstiges Markup, dieses dann mit…
Passt heute irgendwie.
