I am a maintainer of the TYPO3 extension QFQ.
Our extension accesses many of its files directly by links relative to index.php of TYPO3. For example it requests the following API file via JavaScript in the frontend:
/typo3conf/ext/qfq/Classes/Api/file.php
Since the upgrade to spoken URLs with TYPO3 v9 these relative paths stopped working. For example the above relative path would result in the following url when clicked on in the browser:
example.com/en/.../typo3conf/ext/qfq/Classes/Api/file.php
instead of:
example.com/typo3conf/ext/qfq/Classes/Api/file.php
We have seen that one can add static routes to single files in the TYPO3 backend (Sites > Edit > Static Routes > Create new) but this does not seem to allow us to set the whole extension directory /typo3conf/ext/qfq as a static route. Since many files are accessed this way, it is way too tedious to set a static route for every single fie on every installation of TYPO3 which uses our extension.
Our own "dirty" solution to this problem would be to add a new rewrite rule to the .htaccess which rewrites any url containing typo3conf/ext/qfq. It would remove any path before typo3conf.
My question is: Is there a better way to solve this problem? How do other extensions create links directly pointing to the files inside the extension directory? Are we missing something obvious?

I'm working in an AEM project and part of development we are accessing the content using http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/xyz/en/app.html.
While navigating to another page it is redirecting me to http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/xyz/en/inko-app (observe carefully the link is without .html extension) and in order to see the new webpage I had to add .html extension manually.
Is there anyway I can automate this only for development environment?
Versions used:
AEM: 6.3
build version :20170420
I have gone through Adding .html extension to page selected but it is not quite useful
Can you check if in your sightly or java where you are declaring the page path, have you added .html as extension or not?.
For exmaple :
In your sightly if you are getting page path as "${currentPage.path}", the value will be without html, you need to explicitly add .html to
"${currentPage.path}.html" like this.
Okay the title may be confusing and thats because im a beginner in typo3.
So i set up a empty typo3 project via composer.
Now i want to write my typoscript "code" in my project files and not directley in the backend.
I added a template to a page and in the setup i started to define some page objects.
My problem is:
How do i tell typo3 to use the code that i write in my files rather then the code that is in the backend.
Also where should i put my typoscrip files.
I have them like this.
Also im a bit confused on why my ext directory is empty (besides what i added)
So i would like to move this code
# Default PAGE object:
page = PAGE
page {
bodyTag = <body>
meta.AUTHOR = My Name
meta.DESCRIPTION = My Website
}
To my Project file, and not do any editing in the backend.
Thank you this is my first time posting :)
I see that you've already created an extension EXT:website to store your TypoScript, Fluid templates, etc. You should proceed as follows:
1) create in your extension a php file:
website/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/sys_template.php
<?php
defined('TYPO3_MODE') || die();
call_user_func(function()
{
/**
* Default Static TypoScript for website
*/
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addStaticFile(
'website',
'Configuration/TypoScript',
'My Provider extension for pages and content'
);
});
2) create two files:
website/Configuration/constants.typoscript
website/Configuration/setup.typoscript
3) You will be able then to add the these files using the "Include static (from extensions)" area of your TypoScript template.
Of course inside these files you can include other files or even folders, see the documentation here
First of all, your project extension (let it call sitepackage) is missing some files. At least an ExtensionManager configuration file ext_emconf.php in the root of your extension 'typo3conf/ext/website' and for composer based TYPO3 installation also a Composer configuration composer.json. See documentation here https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/SitePackageTutorial/ExtensionConfiguration/Index.html#directory-and-file-structure
To get started with your own sitepackagae extension have a look at
https://sitepackagebuilder.com/ which helps to kickstart. It will create folder and files, which you may not need, but gives you an impression, which is best practice for file and folders inside your TYPO3 extension.
In your Installation you need to create a root template at your root page. See documentation here https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TemplatingTutorial/7.6/Tasks/WorkingTypoScript/TypoScriptTemplate/Index.html#create-a-new-typoscript-template
Your sitepackage extension should includes TypoScript files under Configuration/TypoScript/, which you can include manually in root TypoScript template at your root page.
for constants
<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT:source="FILE:EXT:website/Configuration/TypoScript/constants.typoscript">
and setup
<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT:source="FILE:EXT:website/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript">
There are also other different ways to initial load TypoScript. See for example documentation here: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/SitePackageTutorial/ExtensionConfiguration/Index.html
A description on how to load TypoScript without any root template in backend published here https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/Snippets/2017/Index.html#root-typoscript-without-database
I am quite new in typo3. I read somewhere
You should never edit the original templates of an extension as those changes will vanish if you upgrade the extension
How to create my own custom template based on bootstrap_package extension? I would like to override some files in parital/layout. It would be great if someone can post like/tutorial.
A folder structure and a simple custom typoscript that implement bootstrap_package for my custom temple would be great help.
The bootstrap package developers already added something for this. It is possible to set different locations, where templates are stored. It also uses a fallback solution, that means if a template is not found, it will fetch the original one from the extension.
Create a directory in the fileadmin directory, for example fileadmin/templates/BootstrapPackage. Inside this directory, create the directories "Templates", "Layouts" and "Partials".
In TYPO3 backend, go to the constant editor of the root page and select everything like the screenshot says:
Set the fields "Layout/Partial/Template Root Path" to your new created directorys (fileadmin/templates/BoostrapPackage/Layouts|Partials|Templates). Save and clear the cache.
Now you can create new templates. If you place an exacly named file like it is named in bootstrap_package/Resources/Private/(Layouts/Partials/Templates)/Page/ , TYPO3 will use the new template instead.
I've taken on the webmaster role for a website that uses DNN version 07.02.02. Most of the links to my pdf files are broken. They pdfs were in a folder called "/pdfs" now they're in a new folder "/docs/pdfs "
A few quick things:
I only have ftp access to the web site files. No access to web.config so rewrite rules are out.
I don't want to copy the old files back to "/pdfs" because it would mean managing two different pdf copies (there are over 500 pdfs).
Using file directories with a .pdf extension then add an index.asp file with a redirect i.e. "/pdfs/file_1001.pdf/index.asp" led to an error page because there's an override which doesn't allow site directory pages exposed.
Using a DNN module where I'd have to enter 500 files to redirect seems redundant when I only want to move a directory.
Any solutions to try?
In DNN if you have HOST level access you can modify Config files through the Host/Configuration manager page.
There you could modify the web.config file.
You might also look at the siteurls.config file (also accessible there) in which you could define some URL rules, might be as easy as
<RewriterRule>
<LookFor>/pdf/(.*)</LookFor>
<SendTo>/docs/pdf/$1</SendTo>
</RewriterRule>
The above rule is completely untested, not positive if it will do what you need or not.
I did a little more testing, and it looks like this won't work out of the box as a default setting that tells it to NOT rewrite PDF files, but I can't find the source code for that currently.
The root of the site http://example.com correctly identifies index.html and renders it. In a similar manner, I want, http://example.com/foo to fetch foo.html present in the root of the directory. The site that uses this functionality is www.zachholman.com. I've seen his code in Github. But still I'm not able to find how it is done. Please help.
This feature is actually available in Jekyll. Just add the following line to your _config.yml:
permalink: pretty
This will enable links to posts and pages without .html extension, e.g.
/about/ instead of /about.html
/YYYY/MM/DD/my-first-post/ instead of YYYY-MM-DD-my-first-post.html
However, you lose the ability to customize permalinks... and the trailing slash is pretty ugly.
Edit: The trailing slash seems to be there by design
It's actually the server that needs adjusting, not jekyll. Be default, jekyll is going to produces files with .html extensions. There may be a way around that, but it's unlikely that you really want to do go that route. Instead, you need to let your web server know that you want those files served when a URL is called with the file's basename (and no extension).
If your site is served via an Apache web server you can enable the "MultiViews" option. In most cases, you can do that be creating an .htaccess file at your site root with the following line:
Options +MultiViews
With this option enabled, when Apache receives a request for:
http://example.com/foo
It will serve the file:
/foo.html
Note that the Apache server must be setup to allow the option to be set in the htaccess file. If not, you would need to do it in the Apache config file itself. If your site is hosted on another web server, you'll need to look for an equivalent setting.
