Can anybody help me that how can i set PRINT and save as PDF icon(functionality) in TYPO3 pages ?
Thanks...in advance..
There are many examples in Google and I think that you should browse them, to find the one the best fits your needs.
In general 'historically' print version was suggested to be build with new PAGE cObject which typeNum is set to 98 (of course that's only suggestion) in general going this clue, you should find many examples and other resources by searching in Google for typo3 typeNum 98.
When you'll create alternative PAGE object (and maybe also use modified template for it) you need also add on your webpage a link which be the same as the current URL but with additional param &type=98, when user will click it TYPO3 will open the alternative version of the page. So you can add to this a JS in header which will also start system's print dialog.
You can also search the extensions repository and find something for placing the print button if you are unfamiliar with TypoScript.
PDF rendering is similar from point of view of the frontend, however most probably you need to use some additional lib, so it will be best to search for ready to use solution from the repo.
In general PDF version could be tricky, therefore from my experience I can say that nowadays it's sometimes better to avoid the PDF icon at all or use linking to some external service. Of course all depends on your needs. Remember that there are many programs which are able to create PDF's so if it is not required maybe it's no worth of its effort.
Finally take a look at the AddThis widget it can be also used for easy adding of icons for printing and online PDF creation, additionally you can also send invitations via e-mail, or even share the link on the hundreds social portals. And what's most important installing this is just like adding view lines of HTML code vie TypoScript.

When you go to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/aspnet/core/getting-started/?view=aspnetcore-3.1&tabs=macos for example, or any other microsoft docs, and the end of the page there is github feedback - you can open an issue directly on the site or on guthub, as the docs are published on github.
I want to do something like this for my website, where people reading articles can suggest improvements. This is a good way to make a wiki like site. Is there a way to do it?
If you just want a URL for opening a blank issue, all you need is to provide a link to https://github.com/<user-name>/<repo-name>/issues/new.
If you want the issue to have prefilled text, you can use query parameters to generate the URL. This help page describes how this can be done.
The easy way would be to create an issue template on GitHub, and then use the template parameter. As quoted in the linked article:
You can use the template query parameter to specify a template to automatically fill the issue or pull request body. The template query parameter works with templates stored in an ISSUE_TEMPLATE or PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE subdirectory within the root, docs/ or .github/ directory in a repository.
If a repository contains only the default pull request or issue template, any new issues or pull requests will have the default template in the body.
You can also use the other parameters to customize the issue title, text, labels, etc. This project slightly simplifies this task.
Thank you for your answers, but I found this https://utteranc.es/ and its everything I wanted. And its easy to use. I will leave the other for the right answer, but if someone wants something more out of the box you can use my finding.

Is there some best approach to create one page website in TYPO3 ?
My idea is to create navigation in TypoScript and FCEs for every segments so I can link it.
Any ideas?
I have created a one page template as an extension for TYPO3, this can be downloaded from GitHub.
http://github.com/maximilian-mayer/t3onepage
Yeah it's a nice approach.
You can too use javascript to generate the menu based on the number of FCE you find in the content.
The two approach are nice.
I had to mind on this problem for my work.
You can manage all contents by their content id. First add one header and then add one FCE for that header part. Header becomes your menu. Note that you use separate grid for all section(one header and one FCE).
Create a subpart menu for a one page template in typo3
check this link for menu in one page site.
I would solve it either in pure TS or in fluid.
TS-solution:
for navigation use a HMENU as usual, but modify the links to be anchor-links
for the content use another HMENU but instead of the links generate the whole content from that page, for example with a CONTENT object (using the uid from the current (menu)-page as pid for selection). dont forget to insert the anchor.
fluid-solution:
do the same, but instead of TS use the according VHs from ext:vhs: v:page.menu, v:render.record

Hello I got a website with around 5-6 pages (plain html). There are areas in these pages where I need to update occassionally. Is there any free / opensource CMS to maintain these editable areas of HTML page.
Thanks
Perch is excellent for small sites.
At its very simplest, Perch allows you to replace static content in an HTML file with placeholders. A simple GUI then allows you to edit those placeholder values for individual pages. So, for example, if you have a file containing this chunk of markup:
<h1>My site</h1>
you can change that to:
<h1><?php perch_content('Main heading'); ?></h1>
and you'll then be able to edit 'Main heading' through the GUI. Most CMS apps work in a similar way, but Perch is the first I've come across that does very little else, which is a huge plus for small projects.
I haven't used Perch for a while, and I'm sure they've added some features since I last did, but I'd still recommend you give it a try. It's cheap, too.
I think couchcms is a pretty good open source alternative to the likes of cushycms and perch
I recommend cushy
http://www.cushycms.com/
http://drupal.org/ is very popular. Many people also use Wordpress - http://wordpress.org. Also try googling "simple cms".
The answer will obviously be dependent on the requirements of the software and the capabilities of your server.
You should also check out opensourcecms.com. You can try out various cms's there until you find one you like.
For a five-page website, Drupal is probably overkill; I'd say Wordpress is good enough (just define a page for each page of the website, copy and paste your content, choose a theme, and you're done). (You would want to either use the blogging features of WP to take full advantage of it, though.)
If for some reason you really want to try out Drupal but don't want to invest a lot of time into figuring it out (it does take some ... well, a lot ... of time to figure out right out of the box), and you're not in a big hurry, you can wait a bit until it's possible to try out the new Drupal Gardens hosted CMS system (currently in beta). (You need a beta key to try it. Sign up for the beta on the site and then wait for your key.)
Since your most likely a programmer I would recommend github's very own Jekyll:
Here are some sites powered by it:
https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/sites
As a bonus you can use Github to provide you free hosting (your site will be a public repository that only you can edit).
Have you tried using mut8? They have pretty alright features.

I'm just looking through some of the webmaster stats that Google provides, and noticed that the most common links to our website are to some research articles that we've put up in PDF format. The articles are also available on the site in HTML.
I was looking at the sites (mostly forums and blogs) which link to these articles and was thinking that none of the people clicking the links would actually get to see our website, and that we're giving something away for free and not even getting some page views in return.
I thought that maybe I could change my server settings to redirect external requests to these files to the HTML version. This way, the users still get the same content (albeit in an unexpected format), and we'd get these people to see our website and hopefully explore it some more. Requests coming from my site should be let through to the PDF. Though I don't know how to set this up just yet (keep an eye out for a follow-up question here), I'm sure this is technically possible. The only question is: is that a good idea?
What would you consider the downsides of redirecting traffic from external sources such that they see our site, not just get our content? Do they outweigh the benefits?
The only other alternate option I can see is to make our branding and URL much more visible in the PDF files themselves. Any thoughts?
Hopefully your PDFs are equally branded so that visitors will feel compelled to search further in your website. That might be just as important as having visitors briefly stop-over at your website.
I'm usually opposed to all such redirects as harmful to usability. However, in this case a basic content-type negotiation takes place and this might be acceptable. However, make sure that this doesn't break downloads of the PDF documents for users who might have disabled their referers in the browser (I do this, for one).
Sure you could cut them off, but there is a bigger issue at play: Why aren't these people finding you before they are finding these moocher sites?
Possible reasons are:
a) they did find your site, but not the content they were looking for, even though its obviously there, or
b) your site never appeared in their search results.
You may want to consider a site redesign in order to address those concerns before cutting off what appears to be a reliable source of information about your target audience (for you and the people who get your PDFs from elsewhere).
In the meantime, I would suggest you allow the traffic, add a cover page to all of your PDFs that are basically a full-page ad for your site and then enlarge the font on the copyright section of each page so the authorship is very prominent. You have a built in audience now, they just don't know it yet. Show them where the source is.
Eventually, the traffic will come to you and know you as a reliable source for that information.
I would do it. It's your site and your data.
The hot-linkers are essentially 'guests' and you can make the rules for your guests.
If they don't like it, they don't have to link.
I would add a page at the beginning of each article with info about the website, the current article and links to other articles on your website.
I find it more convenient than redirecting the user to a page on your website(that's annoying). Most people right click and download PDF files, what would that do when your redirect ;)
I think the proper thing to do in this situation is to leave the redirects. Here's why:
There's nothing worse than expecting to go somewhere/get something and not getting it (the negative impact would outweigh the positive.)
Modify your content to add a footer such as: "like what you saw, we've got more, check us out at www.url.com"
If your content is good, users will check out your website. These are the visitors you want, they're more likely to stick around and provide your site with value (whatever that may be.) Those that you've coerced may provide you with an extra click or two, but you will likely not see any value given back to your site.
Look at other successful sites that give something away for free: Joel on Software, Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, 37Signals. The long term will provide better, more consistent value than the short term.
If you go for this solution, see if redirecting to the HTML version also changes the file name displayed by the browser if somebody used 'save as' on the link, else an HTML page would be saved with a pdf extension. Apart from that, I can see no reason why you shouldn't do it.
As an alternative, see if you can add a link to your site to the top of the pdf file. This way they are reminded where it comes from even if someone else sent it to them by email.

I need to create a historical timeline starting from 1600's to the present day. I also need to have some way of showing events on the timeline so that they do not appear cluttered when many events are close together.
I have tried using Visio 2007 as well as Excel 2007 Radar Charts, but I could not get the results I wanted. the timeline templates in Visio are not great and using Radar charts in Excel leads to cluttered data.
Are there any other tools or techniques I could use to create these?
#Darren:
The first link looks great. Thanks! The second link did not work in Firefox and was rendered as ASCII. It opened up fine in IE.
And yes, this is for the end users. So I want it to look as presentable as possible, if you know what I mean.
Thanks again!
SIMILIE Timeline would probably suit your needs.
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/
Timeline .NET: http://www.codeplex.com/timelinenet
Oh, i guess i should ask... for personal use or for display to end users? that might change what i would suggest, but this could work for internal purposes too i suppose.
Lifehacker has a good overview and tutorial of SIMILIE Timeline. They seem to like it quite a bit.
If you need a timeline from RSS Feeeds give xTimeline a try. I just used it
http://lifehacker.com/software/rss/create-a-timeline-from-rss-feeds-with-xtimeline-283098.php
#Pascal this page? http://tools.mscorlib.com/timeline/Default.aspx. If it's looking like ascii maybe look for a js error, but that renders on my system fine. If all else fails, it's a decent js library by the MIT team as it is, so you could wire up your own implementation
I also recommend Simile Timeline... I just implemented a webpage that uses it and JQuery and produces fantastic results. The downside is that you need to implement it through some html page, hook it up with the js and create some xml files, so it probably won't do for a presentational tool.
http://infosthetics.com/ is a good data visualization blog, maybe you find something there. Also check flowingdata.com
For webbased timelines, there is also:

dipity (looks killer): http://flowingdata.com/2008/08/18/tell-stories-with-interactive-timelines-from-dipity/
You can used this great timeline tool built with JavaScript.
