Typo3 Newbie

The errors I was getting with dr_wiki are one less - I had forgotten to include ’static from extension’ in my typoscript template.

:S not so smart.

Also, I haven’t quite worked out my site’s dynamic navigation. The primary navigation works quite fine, but the secondary navigation isn’t working yet - it’s replicating the primary nav.

And I have to work out how to generate a dynamic navigation of the wiki articles…

I had difficulty adjusting my html templates for use with markers - it took some tweaking to get my horizontal TMENU layout rendering correctly, but in the end I got it by removing the unordered list and list tags.

Then when I changed to TV, the navigation kept rendering in a vertical list, rather than horizontal.

Today it occurred to me to change my html back to the original coding … and guess what? It worked!

Yay for using my brain!

I found a solution for TIMTAW & TV. In the TV mapping, a field needs to be mapped as a typoscript object path. Then in the typoscript template that lib.myObject needs to be called, similar to Sebastian’s

10.EDIT>marker.editpanel

instead, with a TV mapped lib.myObject,

10.EDIT>lib.myObject

Also, the admin panel (see TSRef document) needs to be activated with

page.AdminPanel = 1

You can set a variety of configurations using the information in TSRef.

Now my only problem is that it doesn’t look terribly nice. It looks like I have to go and configure the whole thing for the front end appearance. I’m not sure if it should be set as a normal text field, or what, and the normal wiki markup doesn’t work, which could cause user confusion.

On the other hand, dr_wiki has all of that built in. If only I could get it to work. Currently I am getting mySql errors. I have found other people with the same error, but they haven’t worked out the problem. Rather they did a fresh install, which fixed it.

I might try the author again.

My last post about wikis said I was trying DR Wiki. Well, I did… and couldn’t get it working. I posted twice to the Typo3 User Group list, and even directly to the author and two other users, but got nowhere.

One user did answer, but said he had not managed to get a positive result, and had neded up using a third party product.

I also tried TIMTAW, and managed to get a login page and initial data entry page to show, but after saving the information, it disappeared from the front end. The record was visible in the back end, but no reference was created, and so it wasnt rendered on the wiki page.
