It's been updated recently. I run several sites that use similar configuration options, so I split off parts of the configuration into include files.

Love it or hate it, the code that uses these ini directives and functions will behave badly when run in PHP 5.3. The TYPO3 core has been fine with PHP 5.3 for a while now, but the majority of the 5000+ extensions still uses deprecated functions. PHP 5.3 has been out for a while now in several distributions. With the... michiel@typofree.org Thu, 12 May 2011 08:42:00 +0200 http://www.typofree.org/article/archive/2011/march/title/typo3-templates-book-review/ http://www.typofree.org/article/archive/2011/march/title/typo3-templates-book-review/ I have just finished reading a TYPO3 book titled 'TYPO3 Templates' with the subtitle; 'Create and modify templates with TypoScript and TemplaVoila'. The author of the book is Jeremy Greenawalt, web director of Vintage 56. I had never before heard of Jeremy. In fact I didn't know any Jeremies at all. I think the title of the book is misleading. The title should have been 'Building a complete TYPO3 website with TemplaVoila'. Almost the entire...

It's a step-by-step guide to creating and modifying templates with TypoScript and TemplaVoila. This book starts with the basics of creating an example TYPO3 site before showing you how to add your own stylesheets and enhanced JavaScript to the template. You learn about the different types of menus and navigation, and you can try out each one with practical examples in the book. The book shows...

Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering. It has been explained in many blog entries already but it does not hurt... TYPO3 OSX Debian michiel@typofree.org Sat, 10 Jul 2010 14:10:00 +0200 http://www.typofree.org/article/archive/2010/febuary/title/php-eol-goodness/ http://www.typofree.org/article/archive/2010/febuary/title/php-eol-goodness/ I did an amazing discovery today. There is a PHP constant called PHP_EOL you can use instead of "\n". This will make your script cross platform. I honestly did not know about this. I'm happy I learnt something new today. cli michiel@typofree.org Tue, 16 Feb 2010 17:08:00 +0100 http://www.typofree.org/article/archive/2010/january/title/caretaker/ http://www.typofree.org/article/archive/2010/january/title/caretaker/ A TYPO3 installation is a complex mix of TYPO3-core, TYPO3-setup and extensions which makes every installation unique. Therefore it is difficult to automatically detect the health of a TYPO3 installation, especially when new security concerns arise or different systems, extensions or partners are interacting. Currently available system-monitoring software, like nagios, can check the hardware state and much more but not the proper setup of TYPO3...

This is the first in a series of 12 monthly bugfix releases for the 1.1 branch. Every month a new bugfix version will be released that containsthe latest fixes. The next release is planned for Friday the 5th of February. Big thanks go out to all the people who have spotted bugs, supplied patches and tested the dam. We could not have done this without...

And one or two releases a year is just not enough. I'm going to do monthly bugfix releases from now on. Even if only one pesky bug is fixed, a bugfix release will be baked that month.This means that the Mantis roadmap is no longer very usefull for bugfix releases on the 1.1 branch since we will release anyway and the bugs that are not fixed will be moved forward to the next version on the...
