Two questions and my solution (works with TYPO3 4.5 on HostEurope Webpack 3.0)

1. Use ssl or ssl-proxy at your website (in my case TYPO3)

2. Use only the www. variant from your website (duplicate content).

Caution: Code is especially for HostEurope, change IP and Proxyaddress !

force ssl (.htaccess)

#redirect for non-ssl
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.de/$1 [R=301,L]

#redirect for ssl
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.de/$1 [R=301,L]

force ssl-proxy (.htaccess)

#1st option, ssl.proxy ip with wildcard
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !10.9.0.*$
#2nd option, use ssl-proxy address
#RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Server}  !^ssl.webpack\.de$ 

#redirect non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.de$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.de/$1 [L,R=301]

You will also need some Extensions and php-Code

• Install “https_enforcer” in TYPO3, Instructions: http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/https_enforcer/current/
• Follow the Instructions for ssl-proxy from here: http://wiki.typo3.org/De:Installation_at_Hosteurope
• more helpful links: ssl on TYPO3 #1, ssl on TYPO3 #2

So, that’s all – enjoy (or post your solution!)

If you want to use the fast WLAN 802.11n Standard with Ubuntu 11.04 you’ll need to choose the right driver.

The Ubuntu Wiki offers a nice driver/chip overview: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/wlan/karten
In my case:

DWA-160 A2 | USB | Atheros AR-9170 | ID:07d1:3c10

Normally Ubuntu use the ar9170usb driver, but there are probably connectivity problems. So let’s use the second “standard-driver” (Ubuntu >= 11.04) carl9170.

1. Therefore you just need to “blacklist” the first “standard-driver” ar917usb with this shell command:

echo 'blacklist ar9170usb' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

2. restart your system

3. have a look at your wlan symbol and choose “connection information” -> here you will find now “carl9170″ as loaded driver

Jap, that’s all! Now WLAN runs with >150Mbit/s

… sort the fe_userlisting view in frontend?

In my project i needed to sort the usertable in frontend by first_name or last_name.
The extension manual list the following typoscript setup:

tx_feuserlisting_pi1._DEFAULT_PI_VARS.sort = last_name:0
tx_feuserlisting_pi1._DEFAULT_PI_VARS.sort = first_name:0

But nothing happened …

So i searched for a while an found the solution here.

You need to edit the file “class.tx_feuserlisting_pi1.php” and extend on line 170 the following:

$this->internal['orderByList'] = 'username,name,email,country,city,zip';

to

$this->internal['orderByList'] = 'first_name,last_name,username,name,email,country,city,zip';

THAT’s ALL!

show some tt_content via typoscript object on every place you want:

lib.tsobject = RECORDS
lib.tsobject{
  tables = tt_content
   source = content id
}

activate BE-compressing:

Compressing resource files will save bandwidth and so improve loading speed especially for users
with slower internet connections. TYPO3 can compress the .js and .css files for you.

localconf.php:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['compressionLevel'] = '9';

.htaccess:

<FilesMatch "\.js\.gzip$">
    AddType "text/javascript" .gzip
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.css\.gzip$">
    AddType "text/css" .gzip
</FilesMatch>
AddEncoding gzip .gzip

show page-id’s in BE, type the following lines into the BE-USER-TS oder BE-USERGROUP-TS:

options.pageTree.showPageIdWithTitle=1

automatically fill out author in BE (tt_news & pages):

TCAdefaults.pages.author :=author_return(realName)
TCAdefaults.tt_news.author :=author_return(realName)

That’s all for today – have fun!

With the new TYPO3 Version 4.5 a new problem appears … damn.

No more sendmail function, no testmail (install tool), no mail from contact-forms …

Here is the solution: Change in localconf.php

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['MAIL']['transport'] = 'mail';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['MAIL']['transport_sendmail_command'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs'

to

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['MAIL']['transport'] = 'sendmail';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['MAIL']['transport_sendmail_command'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f mail@domain.com';

Of course you need a valid email address!

That’s all – it works!

I think this is a well known problem in TYPO3 – i found several forum posts – but no solution.

If you have a website with some “member only” pages, probably a forum (i use mm_forum in this installation) and users get a email with a notification for new topics or something like this …

Inside the email you get a direct link to your “member-only” page.

http://www.domain.de/forum/post/123/

In combination with realurl the link will cause  “404 – Page not found” situation. Test it – it is horrible.

You must consider,  if you restrict the hole page, you will never solve this problem.
You must only restrict the pagecontent for fe_users. I write it again: never restrict the hole page!

So, i searched for a solution. Found this one, very nice and it works! Thank you Sanderrr!

[usergroup=*]
[else]
config >
config.additionalHeaders = Location: /index.php?id=PID_DES_LOGINFORMULARS
page >
page = PAGE
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value=No Access!
[global]

But what’s up with a redirect to your first link location after login? config.additionalHeaders dislike COA_INT or TEXT.

A new problem – so we need a new solution … page redirect with condition in TYPOP3. Help me!

After one night without sleep, bad dreams and beer i build my own typoscript legendary redirect setup. Praise me

#page 123 is restricted
[PIDinRootline = 123]
page.headerData.666 = COA_INT
page.headerData.666.10 = TEXT
page.headerData.666.10.value = <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=/index.php?id=11&referer=
#index.php?id=11 -> my loginpage
page.headerData.666.20 = TEXT
page.headerData.666.20.insertData = 1
page.headerData.666.20.data = getIndpEnv:TYPO3_REQUEST_URL
page.headerData.666.30 = TEXT
page.headerData.666.30.value = " />
[global]

#remove redirect, if user logged in
[usergroup = *] && [PIDinRootline = 123]
page.headerData.666 >
[global]

You can see, i use the page.meta.refresh function to redirect my restricted pages. Not sweet but it works like a charm.

That’s enough for today. TYPO3 inspiring to share!
Good night!

Today i present:

Disable  Flexform Elements from tt_news:

paste into PageTS:

TCEFORM.tt_news.datetime.disabled = 0
TCEFORM.tt_news.editlock.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.image.disabled = 0
TCEFORM.tt_news.imagecaption.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.imagealttext.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.imagetitletext.disabled = 0
TCEFORM.tt_news.related.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.short.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.bodytext.disabled = 0
TCEFORM.tt_news.author.disabled = 0
TCEFORM.tt_news.author_email.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.news_files.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.links.disabled = 0
TCEFORM.tt_news.keywords.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.archivedate.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.ext_url.disabled = 1
TCEFORM.tt_news.fe_group.disabled = 1
...

activate new tt_news articles automatically (not hidden):

again, paste into PageTS:

TCAdefaults.tt_news.hidden = 0

insert a Logout-Button on feeditadvanced Layout:

First, add this to your root TS-Setup:

[globalVar = TSFE : beUserLogin > 0]
lib.belogout = TEXT
lib.belogout.value = <a class="belogout" title="Logout!" href="typo3/logout.php?redirect=../index.php">Logout</a>
[global]

now you will need a TS-Object or a PageMARKER inside your FE-Template, like …

lib.belogout

just add some CSS like:

.belogout {
 display: inline-block;
 padding-top: 4px;
 margin: 2px 10px 0 0;
 height: 21px;
 text-decoration: none;
 cursor: pointer;
 text-align: center;
 color: #c6c6c6;
 background: url(../../typo3conf/ext/feeditadvanced/res/icons/menubar/button.png) no-repeat 0 0;
 font-size: 12px;
 width: 92px;
 -moz-border-radius: 5px;
 -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
 z-index: 8001;
 position: fixed;
 right: 100px;
 top:1px;
 color: #fff;
}
.belogout:hover, .belogout:active, .belogout:visited {color:#fff; text-decoration:none;}

Now your Logout-Button looks like the feeditadvanced Layout und works …

That’s all for today.

show restricted Pages & add css (class=”locked”)

make restricted pages visible for all, but not accessible

# 11 = Page with Login Plugin
config.typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages = 11
config.typolinkLinkAccessRestrictedPages_addParams = &referer=###RETURN_URL###

#for the menu
lib.menu.1 {
 showAccessRestrictedPages = NONE
 showAccessRestrictedPages.addParams = &redirect_url=###RETURN_URL###
}

now, add some class or attributes to the restricted pages

[usergroup = *]
# after login
...
[else]
#without login
...
lib.menu.1.NO = 1
lib.menu.1.NO.ATagParams.if {
         value=0
         isGreaterThan.field = fe_group
     }
lib.menu.1.NO.ATagParams = class="locked"
lib.menu.1.IFSUB = 1
lib.menu.1.IFSUB.ATagParams.if {
         value=0
        isGreaterThan.field = fe_group
     }
lib.menu.1.IFSUB.ATagParams = class="locked"
[end]

hard to find the right solution, i spent several hours for this snippets – so have fun!
