Making TIMTAB work

Written by newbie on Nov 12th, 2007 | Filed under: Blogging, The Story

Many people have said that they have found TIMTAB to be a little complex to set up. I think the most complex thing is that it incorporates a couple of extensions, and it has to be done just right.

  1. tt_news and ve_guestbook (or other commenting system) need to be installed before TIMTAB
  2. It is not essential to use Kubrik, and that can be excluded from “include static from extensions” if you don’t want to use it

After installing TIMTAB, and following the instructions regarding including two instances of the guestbook plugin, I got a little lost because the next instruction was assuming you knew what to do with tt_news, and it is a while since I played with that … so I have forgotten it.

  1. I got it installed and working, but it just didn’t match WordPress … and in the end I just couldn’t be bothered investing the time needed to research what WordPress does automatically, and find extensions to achieve the same thing in Typo3 … so I wimped out, installed a WordPress Blog in a subdomain (http://inside.deafhub.com), and am as happy as larry.

    In my case it is ok, as I don’t intend for the blog and the site to be overly connected.

    Maybe one day I will come back to it all…
