TYPO3 site package user_pizpalue

TYPO3 12 TYPO3 13 Extension pizpalue Total Downloads Monthly Downloads

This extension serves as a site package to customize a TYPO3-website using the template pizpalue in version 15.0.0 and higher.

Installation

The following steps set up a TYPO3 website using this package as a composer root package.

  1. Get source code

    composer create-project buepro/typo3-user-pizpalue && cd typo3-user-pizpalue && composer u

  2. Setup TYPO3

    .build/bin/typo3 setup \
--no-interaction \
--driver=mysqli \
--host=db \
--port=3306 \
--dbname=db \
--username=db \
--password=db \
--admin-username=admin \
--admin-user-password=password \
--admin-email='' \
--project-name="Pizpalue site" \

  3. Setup extensions

    .build/bin/typo3 extension:setup
composer rem buepro/typo3-pizpalue-distribution

    NOTE: We remove the distribution since the page tree and assets have been loaded by setting up the extensions.

  4. Copy htaccess

    cp .build/vendor/typo3/cms-install/Resources/Private/FolderStructureTemplateFiles/root-htaccess .build/public/.htaccess

  5. Review composer.json

    1. Define packages

      Remove the dependency to packages not required by the site.

      NOTE: Just use the needed packages. In many projects just buepro/typo3-pizpalue and buepro/typo3-container-elements are required.

    2. Check PHP configuration

      Make sure the PHP version used in the shell and for cron jobs corresponds to the PHP version used for running the website. In case they differ you might need to add a platform configuration to composer.json. A possible platform configuration could look as following:

      "config": {
  "platform": {
    "php": "8.2.6"
  }
}

  6. Finalize installation

    .build/bin/typo3 cache:warmup

Usage

When starting a new project create a new git-branch and just commit to that branch. The main branch should always be used to start new projects.

To increase quality work progress might be committed and documented. Documentation has its home in the folder Documentation. A changelog can be created with the following steps:

  1. In a shell go to the Build directory
  2. Run npm install (only needed, if not already done)
  3. Run grunt doc

Customizations

TypoScript (TS)

Customizations typically start by adapting the ts constants and ts setup. Frequently used configurations are collected in the folder Configuration/TypoScript/Sample. You might use them to get started by copying the needed fragments to Configuration/TypoScript/constants.typoscript or Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript.

CSS/SCSS

Style declarations are maintained in the folder Resources/Public/Scss. For stylesheets to be embedded TS needs to be setup. See page.includeCSS for further details.

Icon font

It might become handy to create a customized icon font. Ideally it contains all used icons from the website. To generate an icon font the icons need to be available in svg-format. Unfortunately not all svg-formats lead to the desired result hence some testing might be needed. An icon font might be created by following these steps:

  1. Copy all svg-icons to the folder Resources/Public/Icons/Font
  2. In a shell go to the Build directory
  3. Run npm install (only needed, if not already done)
  4. Run grunt iconfont

Upon creating the icon font its resources can be found in Resources/Public/Fonts. Next the font needs to be embedded with the following TS setup:

page {
    includeCSSLibs {
        pizpalueicon >
        upicon = EXT:user_pizpalue/Resources/Public/Fonts/upicon.min.css
    }
}

Now your ready to use the icon font in the markup: <i class="upicon upicon-custom1"></i> would render an icon showing the graphic defined by custom1.svg.

Layouts/Templates/Partials

They are maintained in Resources/Private. As an example to add a new page template follow these steps:

  1. Create the template in the directory Resources/Private/Templates/Page
  2. Enable the template in the TS constant declaration
page {
    fluidtemplate {
        templateRootPath = EXT:user_pizpalue/Resources/Private/Templates/Page/
    }
}

Development

  • Test code: ddev composer ci
  • Fix code: ddev composer fix

Coding guidelines

  • Use the coding guidelines defined by TYPO3.
  • Use up, Up, up-, upc- as package related prefixes where upc- is mainly used for complementary css classes used together with other selectors (e.g. .up-example .upc-red { ... })
