TYPO3 site properties do not appear - typo3

In Typo3 (I am extremely new to it) I just set up a new installation. Under Template I inserted a few lines of TypoScript (which works) into a template on the "Home"-page in the tree.
Now, in the "Sites"-mode, I added some pages to the "Home"-page. When I click
on a page in this mode,
on the edit icon in list mode for a specific site in tree
the right side appears grey where normally I should see some properties.
The installation is installed by the hoster. Why is it?

TYPO3 toggle drag in wizard?

I have one TYPO3 10.4 installation which shows a plus at the toolbar in the module-docheader(?) and it toggles the "drag in wizard". Perhaps it's activated because this site has the GridElements extension. It doesn't work (dragging the content elements to a backend content row), except for the GridElements.
How can I get rid of it?
There is a global setting disableDragInWizard in the extension settings in the Install Tool

Typo3 TypoScript, display plugin

I try to create a simple hello world plugin for Typo3. I have the code and all is fine, plugin is installed and i added it to the page as a content. But the controller is never called and templates are never rendered.
I followed this tutorial https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/ExtbaseFluidBook/4-FirstExtension/Index.html
and even installed their extension from github. No effects, Typo3 wont render anything. Pls, send help.
EDIT
I just installed a "Preconfigured Distribution" from extensions manager and suddenly all plugins work. It will do for now, as long as I see my extension working.
Probably you just forgot to include the static TypoScript in the root-template for you page.
On the way to create manually extensions there can be many 'stones' which make it difficult to make it right or to find a fault, but the hint above is the first thing to verify / configure.
Usually for creating extensions another extension is used, it's called Extensions Builder and can be found here. This extension creates a lot of basic code and simplifies the first steps very much.
You have to make your TypoScript selectable in BE with this line in you ext_tables.php
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addStaticFile('yourextkey', 'Configuration/TypoScript', 'Title of your Extension');
After adding this line, clear the System-Cache (the "red one") and go to the Template-module in Backend.
While in template-module, select your rootpage in the pagetree. On the top you should see a dropdown menu where you have to select Info/Modify.
In the Info/Modify-Page, select Edit the whole template record and after this, swith to the tab Includes.
There you should see Selected Items and Available Items. Your Extension should be in the available items, where you select it and press the save button.
If you have done everything else correct, now your TypoScript setup should be loaded and your plugin should output something.

how to remove google sign in button in eclipse

I'm facing a wierd problem. My eclipse, has a google signin button which is occupying some of the space which I do not want to happen. Initially it had "Sign-in to Google" text along with it. I've followed some blog post and set accordingly to show just the icon (I don't remember that blog post link).
But now, the icon is getting replicating .. it is being shown 12 times. It is actually creating childs :P
I've gone through all the options present in Customize Perspective menu, none of them had this button listed. Can someone help me in removing that google sign button from my perspective? One possible suspect is- my eclipse crashes when I suspend and wakeup my machine.
You can use the Window > Reset Perspective... menu command to reset the perspective to its default state, which might eliminate that toolbar and buttons. If that fails, I would create a new workspace and import the projects into it using File > Import > Existing Projects into Workspace.
If you want to try to salvage your existing workspace, it's possible to do so my manually editing Eclipse's internal file that stores your Workbench layout, but it's a bit tricky. Here are the steps I've followed to eliminate a similar repeated toolbar item:
Exit Eclipse.
Find the Workbench layout file, it's path is <workbench>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench\workbench.xmi. Make a backup of this file before you touch it - this is essential because it's easy to corrupt the file if you change the wrong things.
Open the file in your favorite XML-aware editor - most packages of Eclipse include the XML editor that works just fine1, but be aware that if you use Eclipse to edit the file you can't have Eclipse open on the workspace that contains the workbench.xmi you want to edit.
Find the section of <trimBars> nodes in the XML; from there you have to determine which <trimBars> node you need to edit. In your case it looks like a vertical one, probably with a side="Right" attribute.
Under the correct <trimBars> node you'll find multiple <chlidren> nodes, each with an elementId attribute that should help you identify it; you're looking for <children> nodes that are identified as something related to the Google plugin.
Delete the <children> nodes that seem related to the unwanted toolbar buttons. In your case, it appears that there is an entire toolbar that you might want to eliminate, so you might want to delete the entire containing <trimBars> node.
Save the file and start Eclipse on that workspace.
1Some packages of Eclipse include EMF tools that will open it in a special XMI editor that does not provide a view of the source, only a structural tree view. Depending on how you like to work with XML, this might be easier than editing raw XML.
This is not a perspective but a view. You can hover over that bar with the buttons and click Alt+Shift+F1 to check where this View comes from. Then you can either disable/uninstall the contributing feature (Help -> Installation Details) or check where the feature came from.
If it comes from the IDE, you can open a bug for it. If it is contributed from a third party plugin, contact the developers of that plugin.
There is an eclipse bug concerning duplicate view toolbar buttons in Luna that has recently closed as well. Maybe this solves your problem as well.
Edit: Taken from this bug:
root cause is that in Luna 4.4M5 WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.createControl is called twice, the
first time with a null value for
WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.getWorkbenchWindow() while it is
still being created. This is related to what has been reported here
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=427452
second cause is that my createControl(Composite parent) method was calling PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow() instead
of WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.getWorkbenchWindow(). This
resulted in an attempt to create a new Workbench Window, which
recursively calls createControl() again. This has already been
reported here https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=366708

How do I turn off codetidy in TinyMCE editor in Umbraco?

I am running Umbraco 4.5.2. In config/umbracosettings I have made the change
<TidyEditorContent>False</TidyEditorContent>
In TinyMCEConfig I have deleted the valid elements and replaced with
<validElements><![CDATA[*[*]]]></validElements>
I have gone into web.config, added a space and resaved - to get Umbraco to reload the config files.
In Umbraco when I add content, it is still being 'tidied' and stripping out tags that I want left in. I just want to turn the code tidy off completely.
You have to explicatively define the valid elements in the validElements section in the TinyMCE config. The behavior you are experiencing is not related to Tidy.

Removing text in the banner in a Windows Installer project

I'm using the standard Visual Studio deployment project and want to remove the text in the banner (the text that says "Welcome to the Your Project Setup Wizard".
I want to remove it because I want a custom banner and don't want the text written over the banner.
I can't see any properties in VS to allow this. Can it be done without prodding around in the .MSI?
Cheers,
Steve
You can "remove" the text by removing the Welcome dialog and replacing it with a custom dialog. In VS 2005 -
Right click on the Setup project in the solution explorer
Select View - User Interface
Under the Start group for Install and Administrative Install delete "Welcome"
Then you can add a "Textboxes (A)" dialog (right click the "Start" group and select Add Dialog) to the project, set the visible property for the text boxes to false. Move the Textboxes (A) up to the top of the "Start" sequence.
The properties for this dialog include:
BannerBitmap
BannerText
BodyText
This should allow you to control the look / feel (to a certain extent) of this new "Welcome" page.
I'd just like to add to this that sometimes creating a custom dialog is a pain in the rear and that you can follow the advice at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winformssetup/thread/5af7ff28-3dbb-4a8a-8d62-a09af9e32b29 to use a tool called InstEdit (http://www.instedit.com -- there is a free version) to edit the outputted installer and remove the BannerText
I don't believe there is an easy way (e.g. changing a property). I had the same problem recently. I couldn't find anything. Ended up using Orca to "prod around in the .msi". It seems the only thing you can alter easily is the language it's displayed in.
