Outdated

This information is outdated. While some details may still apply in specific situations, this page was written for packages of TYPO3 that are no longer current.

This document starts describing how you can configure your TYPO3 site in different ways and then continues giving examples on things to configure. Here you should find all those small tips and tricks on how to get your TYPO site look exactly the way you want!

PHP memory limit

User experiences:

we had some problems with Typo3 3.6.x if a user was logged in in the backend and wanted to display pages in the frontend at the same time (we got the "page is being generated" message and afterwards a blank white page). We increased from 16MB to 24 MB and the problem dissolved.

Two days ago we had problems with page export in the backend ("export to .t3d" with a page containing large graphics downloads). After increasing the memory limit to 64MB(!) everything worked fine.

To solve this problem without modifying php.ini, you can use the PHP directive ini_set(). I have successfully used this simple line of code: ini_set ( "memory_limit", "32M" ); In general, you must insert it at the top of files which have memory problems. You can read the reference for ini_set() at http://www.php.net/ini_set.

The PHP memory limit may also be increased by adding a line to your .htaccess file. This is expecially useful if you have TYPO3 installed on a shared server where you do not have direct access to the php.ini file.

php_value memory_limit 64M

On a well known hosting I see, that Install Tool show memory limit problem. But all works OK. I write simple program to check memory limit. And this program show, that all is OK ( memory limit > 20 Mb).

<?
$str1=implode("",file("some_100Kb_file.txt") );
echo "....".strlen($str)."...OK
";
$str=$str1;
for ($i=0; $i<2000; $i++)
{
	$str=$str.$str1;
	echo $i."....".strlen($str)."...OK
";
}
?>

Customizing the Rich Text Editor

Put the text from http://typo3.org/documentation/tips-tricks/customizing-the-rich-text-editor here.

Content versioning

Here's the reference for versionning: http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/doc_core_tsconfig/MOD/

Put that in the TSconfig of your root page:

# If you want at least 2 days
TCEMAIN.default.history.maxAgeDays = 2

Alt text for images

Providing alt text for images - simple (one image only) - TEXT and IMGTEXT

tt_content.image.20.1.alttext.field = imagecaption
tt_content.textpic.20.1 < tt_content.image.20.1

Providing alt text for images - advanced (more images) - TEXT and IMGTEXT

tt_content.image.20.1.alttext.cObject = TEXT
tt_content.image.20.1.alttext.cObject {
	field = imagecaption
	listNum = 0
	listNum.splitChar = 10
	override.cObject = TEXT
	override.cObject {
		listNum.stdWrap.data = register:IMAGE_NUM
		listNum.splitChar = 10
		}
	trim = 1
	}
tt_content.textpic.20.1 < tt_content.image.20.1
