Configuration

Easyconf

The extension easyconf provides a module to easily configure main aspects from the website. It allows to configure typoscript as well as site configurations. Additionally css snippets can be defined too. Thanks to these features the constant editor isn't needed much any more.

Easyconf form to configure main aspects from a website

Constant editor

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: ADMINISTRATION	Everything related to the site administration
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER BASE	Main customer related parameters
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER STYLE	More detailed customer style related parameters
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER SOCIAL	More detailed customer social network related parameters
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER EXTENDED	More detailed customer related parameters
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER PLUGINS	More detailed plugin related parameters

Note

Most extensions provide their own configurations. For more detailed configurations consult the related manual.

Scaffold

Footer columns

The behaviour from the footer columns can be adjusted through the column classes available under the category PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER EXTENDED in the constant editor.

Scroll animation

This feature is using one of the libraries Twikito/scroll-effect or Josh.js. They allow to animate content elements while the page is being scrolled.

Four preconfigured animations are available in the animation dropdown menu from the appearance tab in the content element properties dialog. Those animations might be configured as well in the constant editor (category "PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER EXTENDED - Animation").

Hint

Embedding from scroll animation js-libraries is triggered by the presence from the strings data-scroll or data-josh in a content element attribute field.

Cookie consent

To show a cookie dialog the "Enable Cookie Consent"-parameter has to be set (constant editor category "PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER BASE - Cookie consent"). As well a link to a privacy policy page can be set for the cookie dialog.

Further configurations regarding the cookie dialog can be found in the constant editor by selecting the category "PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER EXTENDED" under the section "Cookie consent".

Note

For Google Analytics a control block can be embedded by using the string ###GoogleAnalyticsStatus### in a content element.

App icons

In case just a simple favicon is required it can be specified in the category "PIZPALUE - CUSTOMER BASE" from the constants editor.

To get an app icon set for all major platforms the resources might be generated at the "Favicon generator" website. The resulting resources need to be copied to the server web directory and the header data assigned to the related field in the app icon section in the category "PIZPALUE - CUSTOMER BASE" from the constants editor. Remove any line breaks.

Fastmenu

By enabling the fastmenu an icon menu is shown on the right page border.

The menu items can be associated with a page or a content. In case a content is referenced it will be shown beside the menu.

The following configurations are available:

Category	Purpose
PIZPALUE:CUSTOMER BASE	To enable and disable the menu
PIZPALUE:CUSTOMER EXTENDED	To define the icon and referenced content/page
PIZPALUE:CUSTOMER STYLE	To define colors

Note

The amount of menu items can be adjusted through TS. To add a new item the following code might be used.

pizpalue.menu.fast.items {
   newItem {
      iconClass = ppicon ppicon-log-in
      contentUid =
      pageUid =
   }
}

Note

Embed new icons by generating your own icon font.

For some extensions additional configurations are available:
