TYPO3-Addict is your TYPO3 Blog. Bringing you tips and tricks for developing websites with TYPO3. Here you'll find TypoScript snippets, TSConfig and configuration options for your own TYPO3 website.

Yslow tells you to put your javascripts at the bottom of your pages. Normally when you include your JS files TYPO3 puts them in your head by default. To fix this you can easily:

Old style:

page.includeJS.file1 = file.js

Solution:

page.20 < lib.javascript

lib.javascript = HTML
lib.javascript.value = <script type="text/javascript" src="file.js"></script>

Note:

In this example I take it your content is in page.10
If you already use page.20 than just take a higher value.

It’s not posible (as far as I know) to put the default js at the bottom, this is core stuff.

The TYPO3 clipboard is a very handy tool but you rarely use all 4 of them. Also, when you logout the content is gone. Both these things can be fixed by a little TSConfig:

## Makes sure the clipboard doesn't clear:
options.saveClipboard = 1

## Reduces the amount of clipboards from 4 to 1:
options.clipboardNumberPads = 1

If ANYONE know how to use copy as default instead of move a comment is highly appreciated!

This makes sure tt_news never displays duplicate news items on the same page. Put this is your typoscript setup:

plugin.tt_news {
excludeAlreadyDisplayedNews = 1
}

This can be usefull when you have multiple news plugins on one page, like latest and list.

Since I decided to continue writing in last post I also wanted a new design. Last design was really nice but way to confusing and not compatible with widgets.

So… Here it is!

Thanks to mg12 from neoease for this nice new theme. I personally think it’s clean and very organized. Hope you like it:)

With the new design I also put a single google ad in the upper right corner, right under our own logo. Just for supporting this blog.

The default loginbox shows you a form to logout as a FE-user. If you’d like a menu button instead you can use to following method:

1) Create a new page – choose pagetype External URL

2) Use to following URL: www.YOURURL.com/index.php?id=YOUR-HOMEPAGE-ID&logintype=logout

Default settings of the HTMLArea RTE do not allow you to create new folders or upload files to the fileadmin. 2 simple TSConfig lines can enable this.

For your convenience:

## Enable upload field
options.uploadFieldsInTopOfEB = 1  

## Enable folder create
options.createFoldersInEB = 1
