Create initial pages

To follow this tutorial you need to have a few pages in your page tree and some content elements on those pages. You also need a basic site configuration.

Load the example data automatically

We have a created a small extension that loads the example data into your installation. We suggest you work with this data while you are following this tutorial.

Install extension t3docs/site-package-data to load the example data required in this tutorial. It works similarly to the Introduction package, typo3/cms-introduction .

ddev composer req t3docs/site-package-data
ddev typo3 extension:setup
Copied!

Loading the data might take a few seconds. If you do not see the new pages try reloading the backend.

The page tree in the module Web > Page now contains a few example pages.

Site configuration

If you followed Load the example data automatically a basic configuration has been created for you.

The site configuration is stored in a file called config/sites/main/config.yaml. You can edit this file in the backend module Site Management > Sites.

Edit the site configuration in Site Management > Sites

If you want to create a site configuration manually see Create a new site configuration in the "Getting Started Tutorial".
