Common Architecture 

All projects share similar architecture:

Technology Stack - TYPO3 CMS 12.4 LTS - PHP 8.1+ - MariaDB/MySQL database - Composer for dependency management

Extensions - t3olayout: Common layout extension for all projects - filefill: Asset loading from production (by Nicole Cordes) - Project-specific extensions as needed

Development Workflow - GitLab-based development - Feature branches from develop branch - Merge requests for code review - CI/CD pipelines for testing and deployment

Database Synchronization 

Each project provides database dumps via GitLab CI/CD artifacts:

Available Databases - typo3.org: https://git.typo3.org/api/v4/projects/133/jobs/artifacts/develop/download?job=Get%20dump%20for%20local%20environment - Other projects: URLs will be provided later

DDEV Integration All projects support the ddev sync-database command for automated database synchronization.

Access Requirements 

Standard Access - TYPO3.org account - GitLab access (username must match TYPO3.org username) - Account management via my.typo3.org

Special Access Requirements - extensions.typo3.org: Signed NDA required due to GDPR compliance (user data protection)

If you can't access GitLab, log in to https://typo3.org/ once to sync your account with LDAP.

Filefill Configuration 

Each project has specific filefill configuration for asset loading:

typo3.org Configuration:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['filefill']['storages'][1] = [
    [
        'identifier' => 'domain',
        'configuration' => 'https://typo3.org/',
    ],
    [
        'identifier' => 'domain',
        'configuration' => 'https://my.typo3.org/',
    ],
    [
        'identifier' => 'placeholder',
    ],
];
Copied!

Other Projects: Configurations will be provided later.
