Attention

TYPO3 v6 has reached its end-of-life April 18th, 2017 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is strongly recommended updating your project.

Template & backend configuration disclaimer!

Since the "template" is the crucial point of your implementation possibilities it is very important to stress that this tutorial does not to any degree display the depth of possibilities with templates in TYPO3.

Facts about templates and possibilities

Just to nail it to your mind for sure, this are some facts about templates in TYPO3:

  • You can implement any design you like, the way you like.

  • You can have any number of menu levels.

  • You can have multiple sites, multiple templates.

  • You can have pages in any number of languages.

  • You can have multiple content areas (columns) on a page.

  • You can integrate all kinds of external data sources through PHP written plugins.

  • You can add any number of web applications to run on various pages in TYPO3.

  • You can extend everything with PHP (with full backwards compatibility!).

  • You can do anything - some things are just more straightforward (most typical things), other things are more tricky (less typical things).
