Automatically go into list view when going to a folder - typo3

When clicking on a folder in TYPO3 CMS backend, I get this message:
The current page is a folder. Folders usually don't contain content elements but are used for collecting other types of records.
Can I make TYPO3 go into list view automatically? I don't see no reason why it stays in page view when going to a folder.
Reversely, I'd like to go into page view when clicking on a page.
Ugh, found an issue from 2011....... https://forge.typo3.org/issues/29790 Fix, please!!

There's an extension 'autoswitchlistview' which does exactly what you're looking for:
Whenever you are in the page module and clicking on a sys folder in the page tree, you will be forwarded to list view automatically.

How to set up a TypoScript Playground in Typo 3?

How can one play around with TypoScript code shown in documentations about TypoScript?
Tested with a local Typo3 test instance, Typo3 version 9.5.5, Official Introduction Package installed.
In the backend, create a new page in the tree. Rightclick -> enable it (the red overlay should disappear). Make sure it is selected in the tree.
Click on the blue Template button on the left. Usually it will show you the blue No Template message.
Make sure on the top Info/Modify is selected from the drop down.
Click the gray + (New record) button under the drop down.
On the bottom, click Edit the whole template record.
Optionally give it a speaking template and website title, like 'Playaround' and 'Play Around'.
Optionally, under tab Options -> Clear, select Constants and Setup - this will clear everything this Template has inherited from parent templates, but will also disable the debug infos at the bottom of the frontend for this page (if you have installed the Official Introduction Package).
Under the tab General -> text entry Setup, enter the following TypoScript:
page = PAGE
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value = Hello World
press the Save and then the View button.
A new tab opens, showing you the frontend for your page, printing the text 'Hello World'.
Now you can play around with the code examples given in eg. the TypoScript Reference.
Funnily enough, I just found out that Typoscript is by definition not a programming language, but a configuration description. That's why Typo3 is needed as a substructure for this, I think. There seem to be online demos of Typo3 on the net, but I don't know whether they are up to date and whether you can test TypoScript there. Therefore access local containers / installations as suggested. Or if the possibility exists a dev subdomain.

Single Product Image not showing

I have added multiple products in my zen cart store. The problem is when i click on a specific product, the image wont show. It remains blank.
http://www.fmchase.com/
Above is the url of the site. When we go to a single product, i image of that product is not displayed, though it is displayed on the category.
The image it's looking for doesn't exist.
e.g http://www.fmchase.com/images/large/Aquafresh%20little%20Teeth%20toothbrush_LRG.jpg
returns a 404 (not found) error.
edit: The category page is using a different image http://www.fmchase.com/images/Aquafresh%20little%20Teeth%20toothbrush.jpg
The problem is in your new template. Go to includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php and change all variables matching $products_image_medium to $products_image
This should fix your problem.
I removed
Content-Security-Policy module from .htaccess
and I got my listing images back

overriding setResponsePage() to build breadcrumb

I 'm trying to build my own simple breadcrumb component that pushes a PageRefence onto a List for each and every Link in the application.
Unfortunately, setResponsePage() is final (I use wicket 6).
The only other option that comes to my mind is to add a parameter to my base page constructor. But this would require me to change every link in the app..
Are there any other options?
Since you already have a base page, it's easier to override onBeforeRender() in your base page to update the breadcrumbs list that you'd store in your Session object.
Or am I missing something?
To answer my own question:
In the end I realized, that I do not want to have the breadcrumb updated on each new page.
Therefore I created an object that holds a List of Pagereferences. When I navigate to a new Page, I take the list of the current page, make a copy of it an add the current page. The resulting list is pased onto the new page.
All this is handeld in the base page.
Keeping it in the page, avoids problems with multiple tabs / windows.
Thanks for the help.

SugarCRM 6.2 - Adding a custom field in user profile

Yeah. As the title says, I am tasked with creating custom field in user profile, and sort of hit a wall on this one. It is a very small customisation, add a yearly_target field to user edit and detail view.
I was happy to stumble on this article to add a custom field in sugar.
Although it's a huge help, it seems to be missing one or 2 minor points.
To have the fields show in edit and detail views, one apparently needs to create and edits EditView.php and EditView.tpl and DetailView.php and DetailView.tpl, except I am not too sure where these files go. The yearly target field shows up in user list view, but not in edit/detail views. I tried custom/modules/Users , custom/modules/Users/ext , but changes made in the templates (static html changes) have no effect.
Anyone know where these files should go?
Thanks SO'ers!
They should go in the custom/modules/Users/ directory. Do make sure you change the references inside the EditView.php and DetailView.php files to reference the templates you have in the custom/modules/Users/ directory instead of the default ones in the modules/Users/ directory.

Changing Title of home page in Joomla

I am totally new to Joomla. I am trying to help a friend whose ISP has stopped support (for some internal reasons). We need to change the title of the home page.
1) The first place i made a change was in the 'Front Page Manager'. I changed the 'Title' column. The 'Show Title' parameter on this page is set to 'Global'. Yet the new title does not appear.
2) I then downloaded the entire site , consisting of 10,000 files and searched for the old title in all the files. I found the old title in one file which seemed to be used for SEO pruposes , since it had a whole lot of companies and their titles. I uploaded this file. No effect.
3) I then browsed through the database (MySQL) and changed old titles found in MetaKey and MetaDescription columns to new title. I think i checked all tables (almost 100 odd tables). No effect.
4) I found the old title in the 'Top Menu' item and changed it too.
I know this is a bit ambiguous but how could i troubleshoot the source of this title which does not get changed ?
Thanks,
Chak
Titles in Joomla come from several places. As Legycsapo said, the first place you should look is the default menu item. In the Parameters (System) the Page Title should override any other setting unless you have an extension that sets the page title. The Show Page Title option determines if the title shows up in the content, it does not affect the page title.
Try to change it in the menu options. In the mainmenu, click on the "Home" link, or whatever you write for Frontpage, and there are options in the right. The last one is the parameters, system, there is a "Website title" input box. Try there !
You need to change the home page title in the Control Panel Configuration.
In the Site tab you have the Site Name which is what will be written in the page title.
Another solution is, if you have SEF urls enabled, joomla has a native plugin called SEOsimple. Look under Plugin Manager, click on it and change the title to either disable so that it takes the title by default from global configuration or your custom one.
