Installation

Installation process - step by step

In this installation guide, we will override some values and make our blog more individual. Some steps are already described in the Quick Installation.

1. Import and install the extension

- via the extension manager

• or using composer

#. Create the following pages

#. Include static TypoScript template

This can be done on your root-page or in an extension template for a specific page. Minimum requirement: T3Extblog: Default Setup (needed). Do NOT include T3Extblog: RSS setup! We will need this elsewhere.

#. Configure settings in the constant editor module:

Or use TypoScript:

1. Start to configure your Blog. This is an TypoScript example:

plugin.tx_t3extblog {
	settings {
		blogsystem {
			posts {
				paginate {
					insertAbove = 1
					maximumNumberOfLinks = 1
				}
			}
			comments {
				allowedUntil = +5 years
				approvedByDefault = 1
				subscribeForComments = 0
			}
		}
	}
}
module.tx_t3extblog < plugin.tx_t3extblog

See Configuration for all possible settings.
