Is it possible to view TSconfig in TYPO3? - typo3

It is possible to look at existing TypoScript (TypoScript object browser), TCA, Global Configuration etc. in the backend. I am wondering if it is possible to do the same with TSconfig.

Yes you can do it in the "Information" module by selecting "Page TSconfig" in the dropdown.

How to edit: TypoScript Configuration » Page TSConfig?

I'm using TYPO3 (using ver: 6.2.11) and I want to do the exact thing as mentioned in: Rename the subheading in backend. The problem is that I simply could not find navigation link to reach the specified destination page settings » resources » TypoScript Configuration » Page TSConfig. Either it is not showing or I am not at a right start page.
You need to edit properties of the page like shown on below screenshot, if this tab/field is unavailable for you that means, you haven't proper permissions and need to ask to do this change the full admin.
You can also include pageTS config and UserTSConfig by using extension in ext_localconf.php with:
<?php
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addUserTSConfig('<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source="FILE:EXT:typo3_template/Configuration/TypoScript/userTsConfig.ts">');
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPageTSConfig('<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source="FILE:EXT:typo3_template/Configuration/TypoScript/pageTsConfig.ts">');
?>
Hope it would be helpful for TYPO3 Users!

Displaying user specific Form Fields in TCA TYPO3

Is there a way I can change the Form fields and options depending on the current user?
Like for instance, if the current user is just a Simple_User he/she should not be shown the option "evaluate". But for an Admin, the evaluate option should be available.
How can I achieve this using TCA for creating backend forms for a plugin ?
In the TCA there is the option "exclude", which gives you the option to set the permission for BackendUser or BackendGroup if the user is allowed to view/edit the field.

Where are subdomains ("shortcuts") defined in TYPO3?

On a corporate website managed with TYPO3 there are shortcuts defined which lead to a page on the site.
Example:
Corporate website is www.acompany.com
Then there is a site www.acompany.com/coolproduct which is redirecting the user to www.acompany.com/products/productgroup3/product25.htm for example.
Where in TYPO3 can such "shortcut" links be defined?
Most probably some page in the page tree has set type to: Shortcut which causes that it points some other page or resource, it's also possible that is set as Link to External URL and there is full URL given.
Check the page tree in the backend and find your coolproduct page in it. Then check the site's properties and change if required to other value/type.
It's also possible that this URL is generated by some plugin or TypoScript, but in this case you'll need to investigate it yourself.
Simplest way to find these kinds of things is actually using the search engine in the TYPO3 backend. You will find it in the upper right corner.
If this fails, what I do is install PhpMyAdmin from the extension repository. Once you have PhpMyAdmin you can use it's search functionality to find anything in the database using a search query of: '%coolproduct%' and selecting all tables. In the results look for the 'pid' field. It tells you on which page in TYPO3 the found item is located.
Does the page use the extension realURL? If so, there might be realURL redirects defined.
Have a look at page -> info -> RealUrl -> Redirects
Maybe you the user has defined this link redirection in many pages, you can search for it in the database exactly in the tt_content table.
You can set shortcut for your domain to any page of your site, so when user enter only your domain name in url then it redirects to page which you set in shortcut.
For that edit your domain and set shortcut to any page of your page tree.

TYPO3 tt_news : No code given

I just inherited this TYPO3 project and have a bunch of tasks to perform with it (adding this here, and that there, etc.) and I'm at the task "Add news to the front page" and "Add a RSS feed to the site"
Well, the tt_news extension is installed and I have created 1 test news. Now I added a page content plugin of type "News" and configured it from the best of my knowledge, following the outdated manual provided with the extension, saved the page, cleared the cache and refreshed the frontend page to see this :
...What does it mean and how do I make the extension work?
Edit the content element containing tt_news extension and at the Plugin tab in select field What to display choose default view ie: Standard list view (LIST)
Also:
make sure that in Content Element's settings you choose correct
folder with tt_news records in field Other settings > Page(s)
with tt_news records
tt_news records are created by default with Hidden flag set to true, make sure that the checkbox is unchecked. (BTW this behaviour can be changed with TCAdefaults.tt_news.hidden=0 in PageTS or UserTS)
