Customize

The suggested way to customize the distribution for customer projects is to create an extension (e.g. user_customer) and define the customer theme and functions in it (see TYPO3 documentation).

An example extension for that purpose is delivered and activated with the distribution. You might use it as your starting point.

Development

During development or maintenance phase two actions might be of interest:

1. Show under construction page
2. Enable code debugging

To temporarily show an under construction page the page “Baustelle” might be moved before the root page where the code debugging can be enabled by activating the debug mode in the “PIZPALUE: AGENCY” category from the constant editor.

Configuration

Many aspects from the web site can be configured through the constant editor.

To ease configuration parameters were grouped. The following main categories are available:

Category	Description
PIZPALUE: GENERAL	A parameter in this category might be used for various module configurations
PIZPALUE: AGENCY	Everything related to the authority maintaining the site
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER	Main customer related parameters
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER STYLE	More detailed customer style related parameters
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER SOCIAL	Definition from references to social networks
