I am new to Typo3. We have Test and Development Instances(CMS site) build through Typo3. We dont have problem in Development Instance but have in Test instance. The problem is, Whenever we change some content in pages from Backend, that content is not reflected in Frontend until 24hrs. Still now we did not find the solution. Please, if anyone of you know the solution, please share it. Thanks.
I have TYPO3 version 6.2 and there I have often problem that it is not enough to remove the cache due the backend and I have to remove cache manually.
That means to remove the content of typo3temp/cache/*. Then I can see the changes immediately. (I have to do that especially when I am changing translations).

Hello to all TYPO3 enthusiasts,
I am asking myself since about 2 weeks now, how to make a feedback/guestbook page with TYPO3.
What I want:
I have a page, where visitors can leave a feedback.
When they send a feedback, it shall not be showed immediately. It shall be stored in a database, with a flag "allowed: yes/no". If the administrator allows the visitors feedback, it shall appear on the page.
The feedbacks, that haven't yet been allowed, shall be displayed in the backend, where they can be enabled.
My problem
I don't even know, if this is realizable? If it is, what is the next step to make this working? Do i have to create my own extension for that?
Would be very nice, if someone can answer me my question and maybe give me some advices.
Have a look at https://bitbucket.org/ArminVieweg/pw_comments/overview
The current master version should be capable of doing this for TYPO3 7.6
Here is a third one :-)
https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/mmc_guestbook
I tested that and it worked for me, I think it should also work on 7.6 so you can just ignore the requirements.
Since I needed some changes I rewrote most of the code and my version is working on 7.6. Write a comment if you want me version.
Download and install extension tt_guest from TYPO3 extensions repository

This would offer the funktionality you described
my Joomla-backend ist destroyed. i can do a log in in a normal way, but then i see only text, no graphics. and also the wohle site is not visible and i can't scoll it. i made a screenshot, please look at it to see what i mean. i have to upgrade my Joomla Version but i cant do it with this broken backend. The current Joomla Version is 1.5.26
So, how can i fix this? I need full acces to my backend. Please help.
This is why we should not use older version of joomla.
you must install newer version of joomla
It is more reliable and secure.
Here is the step by step migration process
Should be pretty simple. I am trying to find what theme is being loaded in Magento to create my own custom theme. The problem is the mine (ver. 1.7.0.2) has no files in the frontend->default->default folder so I can't put any print statements there or see which template Magento is loading to learn more about it. Print statements in base->default don't seem to work either.
And where is the home page template located?
I don't know why Magento makes this so hard or maybe I'm just looking at old info that's not applicable anymore.
Turn on template path hints. Also disable the cache from System > Cache Management while you are doing any theme work.
+1 for other answer suggesting you turn on template path hints. That is a great way to figure out the structure of how things work in Magento.
I would also recommend the user guide. It's been updated to apply to 1.7. You used to have to pay for the guide but they make it available for free now.

As well as the latest designers guide that has info specific for templates etc.

I wish to create a document repository for my company. Reason is because my company have many documents and they did not have a version tracking in place. This means everyone is using different version all the time.
Plone is something new to me and i got to know from a good friend of mine. And too bad he is not around anymore to answer my question. I believed in him and i wish to materialize his idea, to use Plone as a document repository for my company.
I have install Plone and manage to view the default Plone page, add all company's username and change the logo to my company's logo. And now the biggest question is, how to setup the document repository? What i have in mind was to create a "page" for the user to add files, download files, search for files and read its description.
Any lead for me to go about?
Reusable,
Same problem here. We started to use Plone as our main DMS 4 weeks ago (inserting existing docs at present).
For working copies, we use iterate (insert plone.app.iterate under eggs in your buildout.cfg).
For versioning, Products.CMFEditions. I believe this worked out of the box.
For creating new workflow, look into plone.app.workflowmanager and read the docs.
In a previous question we asked, we were still looking at Dexterity which has alot going for it but eventually we decided on adapting an existing content type based on Archetypes.
As for inserting files, as long as the description is ok, they will be found through the in-built search functionality, but you might consider using Iterate mentioned above to make sure that nobody is using the same file twice.
As your new, as I am, the docs seem hard at first but are actually quite good.
And this book is still giving me the foundation we need to keep adding functionality.
Good luck
I think, you should get pretty far with vanilla Plone installation, without developing your own extensions or other customization add-on-products. Therefore, I'd recommend you to start with Plone 4 User Manual to find out everything you could do out-of-the box.
As #Speediro mentioned, versioning support comes built-in for the main content types (and you don't actually see CMFEditions mentioned anywhere), but it's not activated for file uploads. Although, as briefly mentioned in the manual: Content items can be configured to have versioning enabled/disabled through the Site Setup → Plone Configuration panel under "Types".
Working Copy Support (plone.app.iterate) should also be there already waiting for activation on Site Setup's add-ons-panel.
Yet, before the Plone Collective (=community) Developer Docs or Professional Plone 4 Development, I'd recommend Practical Plone 3. It has a bit outdated graphics (because it was made for Plone 3), but it's great next step after the user manual. E.g. how to define content rules to send e-mails notifications for content updates (still through the browser without coding). Or how to create custom forms using Products.PloneFormGen.
When you really need to write your own code, it'd be time for Professional Plone 4 and the Collective Docs.
If you can't have a developer to manage your stuff, I would recommand to stay on official Plone, no custom code and use only widly used addons.
I mean:
stay on the default theme (sunburst)
use the default plone content types
only customize the logo
activate plone.app.iterate in the addon controlpanel
do not play with workflow because they need to know what you are doing. by default a file has the visibility of it's folder. It mean if you can see the folder you will be able to see all files inside. You can just activate default worklfow for files under the ZMI.
Use collective.quickupload addon
Your database will going really fast to a huge size because Plone is doing indexing and indexing means lot's of spaces. So you will have to handle this as system adminstrator;
I'm developing an MVC 2 application and have it on a web host. It works fine, but the strange thing is that when I update files, the updates don't "take". I can even delete an entire Controller file (just for testing the update problem), and it doesn't matter. I can still go to that page on the live site. That shouldn't be possible, but apparently it does, as if the Controller was still there.
The only way I can update the site at the moment is by deleting every single file on the server, and then upload the entire site again. Then (strangely) it works, and the updates take.
Does anyone have any experience with similar problems and ideas for how to solve it? BTW, I have asked the support at the web host, but unfortunately they rarely have any answers for anything but the simplest problems, so I thought I might be better off asking here.
If you edit a controller file, then you need to recompile it and deploy the .dll file, there is no need to even bother hosting the controller files.
You can edit the views freely though.
