Hello,
I have taken over the website from my colleague, I do not have much programming experience. I am used to wix or wordpress, but not with programming in typo3. I cannot find the option to change the names in the Author name list. I like to add some of my colleagues, so when I post something from them their name is displayed. How do I change or add names to this Author Name list?
thanks
Searching in google I find programme languages I do not understand. Is there a way to just change settings? Is see no option in typo3.

this may be a noob question - but I hope to get an answer from an experienced person,
because we have to switch our settings and would like to do it correctly the first time.
At the moment the default language is set to German. English is defined as another language.
When somebody from France looks at the website, it is shown in German first, he then has to switch to english manually. For an english visitor everything is fine.
So what should we do:
1) Set the default language to english and have german as second language? What about guys from Switzerland, Luxemburg, Liechtenstein and Austria then. Do these have to be defined seperately as they are also seperately selectable as windows languages?
2) Is there an option to simply say: Every visitor that is not german speaking should get the english website in default? And even in this case, will this then recognize the different german options explained in 1?
Sorry if these questions are stupid. ;-)
Thank you,
Fabian
Your aim is to change how visitors see the website, but your are asking how to change the editing of the website accordingly. Luckily it is a CMS and you can separate those concerns.
What you seem to look after is a component that analyses the IP/language/browser properties of the visitor at first page load and that there are rules what to show (e.g. show English version except your mentioned countries). There are extensions for that specific purpose like https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/locate or others: https://extensions.typo3.org/?L=0&id=1&tx_solr%5Bq%5D=language
That way you don't need to change the default at all.
I run a page for a Russian company, and I often have to fix the grammar in titles of my links. This was possible in the old interface - by clicking on the title in the post-preview, etc. But now I cannot do this, as there is no title given in the preview.
Will the old functionality be restored?
Thank you,

I am new to joomla and wanted to use JoomFish for multi-lingual support. Can anyone please let me know details of how can we use JoomFish to translate the site content. Also how can we translate the content of customly developed components / modules. Also how can we translate the static content in the components/modules i.e. the label which are used statically?
Can any one provide any reference which has a good understanding of doing the above mentioned things.
Regards,
Atul
Joomfish does not do any translation, all of it has to be entered by the admin. It takes a bit of configuration - language packs have to be installed, extension content elements need to be translated, etc. Your best bet is to install it on your site and go through the tutorials.

There is no shortcut that could easily be entered as an answer here.
I'm just starting to evaluate joomla CMS as a tool to build out my personal site. I'd like to manage multiple sites/domains with one copy of joomla on one host. so I'll own mysite.com and myothersite.com, which will both point to the same host/joomla code. If I do this I need to be able to set which domain/site the content I add shows up on. For some sites the content will be on both for others it will be on only one. What would be ideal it to have some kind of filtering mechanism so I don't have to manually set where the content goes.
What would be ideal is for me to set tags on the content and each site can specify which taged content to show.
My last requirement is that I be able to have different pages on each site.
Is this possible or am I asking too much from a "free" CMS?
Thanks all
I don't know if there's a component that achieves what you're describing here. I use a multi-language component in some of my sites that shows translations, but it doesn't "suppress" articles that doesn't have references to a translation: it just says "No translations to this article". I know you're not asking for translations methods, but I think the Joomfish way of selecting content based in a chosen language would be what you wanted, but not based in languages, just domains.
The only component I know it would be able to suppress articles based in pre defined parameters (in its case the language), is the Joomfish's "Table Localization Plugin", but you need to be a Joomfish silver member paying $60 to Joomfish's developers.
You could write a component(see here for plugin documentation), that analyzing the domain, would suppress articles that shouldn't appear in that specific domain. But I think it's going yo be a lot of work. You would learn a lot of Joomla's architecture, though.
How Joomla displays its content (output) is controlled entirely by parameters. So if you can control what parameters are loading, you can create multiple displays per host
However, that may be overkill in this case. You can just easily hack your template. Just make it load a different menu for siteA and siteB. (The host is set in $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])
The menu on siteA could have a tagging component item, set to display articles tagged siteA.com. The siteB will have the same for its domain.
While there are extensions that will do what you describe (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/multiple-sites), Joomla is really designed for one site at a time. I've done setups where I use the same codebase for Joomla and manage it with version control, but I always end up launching multiple sites with individual databases.
However, I don't know of any CMS that inherently allows you to share articles across instances while keeping the data centralized. You may be looking at an extension (or your own customization) regardless of which platform you pick.
We had a similar problem with needing to share content across multiple Joomla! sites so we developed this extension: http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/simple-sharing
It is not very robust in terms of what it can share but it does let you share Articles across multiple sites and choose which sites and categories those articles get published into. I hope it works for you.
Thanks!
What is the actual procedure for attaching multiple tags to a particular content in a project development. What is this tagging all about???
I need to create a tag cloud for my project in .NET using c#. Help me out as a beginner for basic tagging concept.
Tags are key words add information about the item being tagged. Tags add semantic information about something in an effort to further it.
For instance, A picture of your father on his birthday could be tagged 'dad','family','event','birthday' etc...
By adding tags to the picture you add context and make the image more easily indexable, sortable and searchable.
Tags are purposely generic and flexible because different people can place different personal meaning to the same artifact, or the same person may apply different meaning in different contexts - like adding the same picture to a stock photography web site or checking it into a source code repository as part of a project.
Generally the procedure is to ask the owner of the item to add a list of tags in a text field. Some sites like stackoverflow constrain (most) users to use existing tags, others like delicious make the tags up to the user.
A tag in the software context typically means a meaningful name or attribute being assigned to that software. In version control scenarios a tag is a meaningful name given to a particular state of the files represented by that name. For example the tag 20090401 might be assigned to the source code as it looked on April 1, 2009. Tagging something can also mean describing it or categorizing it. For example software such as IE8, Chrome, or Firefox might all be tagged "Browsers" to categorize them on a download page. Allowing users to create tags and use existing tags is a powerful method to categorize content and help people zero in on items of interest. A tag is simply an extra tidbit of information a person can gain insight into data with.
Multiple tagging is useful for many reasons in software development. For example in my git repository I have a habit of creating tags based on date which can easily be ordered and parsed by a computer. I can also give changes a more human consumable name such as the tag "Deleted_Duplicates", or "RC1", or "V1_Delievered_To_Michigan". This allows for an understanding while also allowing for machine processing.
