Installation¶

Required steps¶

The following steps are required to active the frontend editing for a TYPO3 installation.

Install and active the extension called frontend_editing
Add the static TypoScript template Frontend Editing to the site roots where the features should be activated
After the inclusion of the typoscript settings there is a need to add the following setting to the site root(s) Add this to the setup part, where the 1 or 0 indicates if it is active or not
```
config.frontend_editing = 1
```
The last thing to do is for the individual users to activate the frontend editing for themselves. This is done in the “User settings” in TYPO3:s backend.

Set the baseUrl for frontend editing if server path is not a top directory. This is done by adding the following part to setup typoscript:
```
plugin.tx_frontendediting.baseUrl = /
```
Include the static template Editable Fluid Styled Content v9, to include basic editable templates for Fluid Styled Content in TYPO3 v9.
Enable the Placeholder feature in the extension configuration. By enabling this feature, empty editable content areas will appear with placeholders. Content elements will also appear directly after you have dropped them on the page, skipping the modal pop-up with a backend form that would otherwise appear. Available extension configurations
