Introduction

What does it do?

This extension provides some useful tools in the “Admin tools” section of the backend of TYPO3. It contains up to 11 tools for extensions, pages, slugs, redirects, files, images and links.

Tool 1: shows you all pages where you use extensions. You can see where you use which extension. You can search for non-extensions too, e.g. if you set Ctype='mailform'.

Tool 2: shows recently modified pages and content elements.

Tool 3: helps you to find pages where layouts or backend layouts are in use.

Tool 4: helps you to find pages that link to another page. You can find any content element with a link to a specific page.

Tool 5: helps you to find images with no title- oder alternative-text. This tool can set that values for you too.

Tool 6: helps you to find missing files/images. This tool shows you where they are used.

Tool 7: you can import simple redirect rules form your .htaccess to the table sys_redirect.

Tool 8: you can check all your entries of sys_redirect, if the target links are reachable.

Tool 9: helps you to delete unused files. Go to “Admin tools” → DB check” → “Database Relations” to find files which you can delete. This tool helps you to delete these files in the uploads-folder. Note: this tool was removed in version 6.0.0, because the uploads-folder is no longer in use.

Tool 10: shows differences between RealURL-pagepath (in tx_realurl_pathdata) and Slug (in pages). Note: the old RealURL-tables must be present! Note: this tool was removed in version 4.0.0.

Tool 11: unzip a zip-file in the fileadmin-folder. Note: this tool was removed in version 3.0.0.

Since version 4.2.0 there are some dashboard widgets available too.

Users Manual

Just install the extension. Click on the left side at “Extension & file tools”. Select one of the 8 modes (see top left).

Note: you need admin rights! The link appears under the “Admin tools”.

Note to tool 1 (shows you all pages where you use extensions): you can add more CType´s here: "Or exclude elements with this CType value:". Separate them by a space character. E.g.: "newsletter_pi1 mask_button mask_box".

Since version 4.2.0 you can add some dashboard widgets to your widget too. You find them at the tab "Fixpunkt".
