Frequently asked questions

How to get started quickly

You can use the Site Package Builder to create a customized site package. If you want to follow this tutorial, choose "Site Package Tutorial" as base package.

What files are included in a site package?

A site package typically includes the following files:

  • Configuration files, such as site settings, TypoScript, and RTE (rich-text editor) configurations
  • Public assets: CSS, JavaScript, fonts, theme related images
  • Templates: Fluid templates that generate the HTML output
  • Code extending TYPO3 Core functionality or third-party extensions, such as Event listeners and Middlewares (Request handling)

When not to put files in a site package

If you are developing functionality that may need to be shared across multiple sites or TYPO3 installations in the future, it is advisable to create a custom extension for that functionality instead.
