Installation 

Table of Contents

Install via Composer 

Run the following command in your TYPO3 project root:

composer require davitec/dv-education-registration
Copied!

This automatically installs the required dependency davitec/dv-education-courses if it is not already present.

Activate the extension 

In the TYPO3 backend go to Admin Tools > Extension Manager and activate Education Registration if it is not already active.

For Composer-based installations the extension is activated automatically.

Database update 

After installation, update the database schema:

  • Backend: Admin Tools > Maintenance > Analyze Database Structure and apply all suggested changes.

  • CLI:

    vendor/bin/typo3 extension:setup
    Copied!

Include TypoScript 

Add the static TypoScript template to your site:

  1. Go to Web > Template and select your root page.
  2. Edit the template record and open the Includes tab.
  3. Add Education Registration (dv_education_registration) from the list of available items.

Alternatively, include it directly in your site package:

@import 'EXT:dv_education_registration/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript'
@import 'EXT:dv_education_registration/Configuration/TypoScript/constants.typoscript'
Copied!

Mail configuration 

The extension uses the TYPO3 mail API (MailMessage). Make sure your TYPO3 instance has a working mail transport configured. At minimum, set the default sender address in config/system/settings.php or config/system/additional.php:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['defaultMailFromAddress'] = 'noreply@example.com';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['defaultMailFromName'] = 'My Website';

// Example: SMTP transport
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['transport'] = 'smtp';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['transport_smtp_server'] = 'smtp.example.com:587';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['transport_smtp_encrypt'] = 'tls';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['transport_smtp_username'] = 'user@example.com';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['transport_smtp_password'] = 'secret';
Copied!

Without a properly configured mail transport, confirmation and notification emails will not be sent.

Quick start 

  1. Install the extension via Composer.
  2. Include the TypoScript template.
  3. Set the TypoScript constants (see Configuration): storagePid, adminEmail, confirmationPid, termsPageUid.
  4. Create a page for the registration form and insert the Registration Form content element.
  5. Create a separate page for confirmation and insert the same Registration Form content element (the confirm action uses it).
  6. Verify your mail configuration by submitting a test registration.
