Graphical headers can be just that little extra thing your design needs. Luckily TYPO3 can manage this pretty well using the GIFBUILDER. But what if you have a long headertext? What if you need the headertext to display over more than just one line?
GIFBUILDER can’t actually read your headertext so there’s no way it can determine when to use multiple lines by itself (at least, not without making weird cuts in the middle of your words). Therefore, we need to tell GIFBUILDER when to break the line.

Translating pages can be a real pain. Personally I think the worst thing is the amount of clicks in takes when you need to translate a whole pagetree! Translating 10 pages can take up to 45 clicks through the List module! Can’t this be easier? Yes it can! TYPO3 by default comes with a Localization Overview module and can help to reduce the amount of clicks from 45 (or even more with more pages) to about 7!

No article or TypoScript this time, but a screenshot preview of the new tt_news 3.0 which will hopefully be out soon! There are some visual changes but I believe most of the improvements are ‘under the hood’. It’s obvious this trunk version is far from ready but it’s good to know there is still progress! Want to see for yourself? Check out the .t3x file at the bottom of the post! Read more…
