    Notes on slide 1



    Compare to developing TYPO3 from scratch. You wouldn’t do that, so why rebuild the same sites over and over again.
    Long term maintenance costs decrease when a bugfix on one site works on many sites.




    Copying and pasting code from existing sites serves as an informal reference library.

    Not a one size fits all solution
    Identify what YOU already when building sites and extract it into a formalized solution
    For the WEC Starter Package, this means identifying a pagetree and extensions that fits the needs of most churches and gives them a point to start learning TYPO3.

    Hope you attended Ron’s template talk yesterdayCSS FrameworksCommon FCEs that complement your CSS frameworkDefine a consistent base and customize on top of it
    No need to worry about templates as extensions, just rely on version control


    GMENU still useful in certain situations but simple markup + CSS takes care of most needs.
    CSS Zen Garden

    WEC Constants


    Task-based groups
    Keep groups as lean as possible



    Not automated!

    WEC Constants

    Version control + extensions = quick and easy upgrades and rollbacks
    Common platform means less worry when upgrading TYPO3

    WEC targets churches and wants them to learn TYPO3 and be self sufficient. Thus, a comprehensive package where features will be disabled fits. Busy Noggin works with a diverse client base so a simple config where pieces are added fits better.

    Open discussion about best practices and extensions

    3. Why kickstart? Launch quicker and cheaper. Maintain less code.
    4. KICKSTARTER 1.0 (WHAT YOU’RE ALREADY DOING)
    5. ⌘+C KICKSTARTER 1.0 (WHAT YOU’RE ALREADY DOING)
    6. ⌘+C ⌘+V KICKSTARTER 1.0 (WHAT YOU’RE ALREADY DOING)
    7. KICKSTARTER 2.0 (WHAT YOU NEED TO BE DOING)
    8. ⌘+C KICKSTARTER 2.0 (WHAT YOU NEED TO BE DOING)
    9. ⌘+C ⌘+V KICKSTARTER 2.0 (WHAT YOU NEED TO BE DOING)
    10. ⌘+C ⌘+V ⌘+S KICKSTARTER 2.0 (WHAT YOU NEED TO BE DOING)
    11. ADAPT BEST PRACTICES FROM THE SITES YOU BUILD NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL SOLUTION!
    12. Templates CSS Frameworks, inheritance & FCEs.
    13. Modular Typoscript Menus, constants, and external files.
    14. CSS Zen Garden Menus mainMenu = HMENU mainMenu { entryLevel = 0 1 = TMENU 1{ wrap = <ul>|</ul> NO { allWrap = <li> | </li> } ACT < .NO ACT = 1 ACT { allWrap = <li class=\"alt\"> | </li> } } }
    15. Shared configuration with custom constants # Define the date and time formats constants.wec.dateFormat = %m/%d/%y constants.wec.timeFormat = %I:%M %p # Convert the date format of news to WEC constant defined value plugin.tt_news { displaySingle.date_stdWrap.strftime = {$constants.wec.dateFormat} displayLatest.date_stdWrap.strftime = {$constants.wec.dateFormat} displayList.date_stdWrap.strftime = {$constants.wec.dateFormat} displaySingle.time_stdWrap.strftime = {$constants.wec.timeFormat} displayLatest.time_stdWrap.strftime = {$constants.wec.timeFormat} displayList.time_stdWrap.strftime = {$constants.wec.timeFormat} } # Convert the date format of blog comments to WEC Constant defined value. plugin.tx_veguestbook_pi1 { datetime_stdWrap.strftime= {$constants.wec.dateTimeFormat} date_stdWrap.strftime= {$constants.wec.dateFormat} time_stdWrap.strftime= {$constants.wec.timeFormat} } example: wec_constants
    16. External Typoscript via TS Setup <INCLUDE TYPOSCRIPT src=”fileadmin/resources/ts/menu.ts” /> External Typoscript via Extensions <?php t3lib_extMgm::addStaticFile($_EXTKEY,'static/ts/','My Menu'); ?> example: wec_constants
    17. Simplified Backends Groups, permissions & TSConfig
    18. Groups and Permissions • Keep configuration in groups not users • Baseline group for common settings • Task or section based groups applied to pagetree example: WEC Starter Package
    19. TSConfig & TCA // Allow additional fields to be excluded in user and group records. $TCA['tt_content']['columns']['header_position']['exclude'] = 1; $TCA['tt_content']['columns']['header_link']['exclude'] = 1; // Force new content elements to be allowed before they appear. $TCA['tt_content']['columns']['list_type']['config']['authMode'] = 'explicitAllow'; // If be_acl is loaded, hide its records from list view. if (t3lib_extMgm::isLoaded('be_acl')) { t3lib_extMgm::addPageTSConfig(' mod.web_list.hideTables := addToList(tx_beacl_acl) '); } example: wec_config
    20. Maintenance Version control and a common platform.
    21. Build up or tear down? Broad client base vs. niche markets
    22. What goes into your package? Extensions, Typoscript Libraries, etc.
