  1. Start analysis

    As a first step you should enter your domain name at https://www.avalex.de and start the analysis. The web site is automatically scanned for services used (i.e. Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Matomo, etc.).

    Scan your website
  2. Add undetected services manually

    If a service is not detected automatically, it can be added manually by searching for the name of the service (over 300 services are currently supported, more are added as needed). A search for Google offers a list of 16 services to choose from.

    Detected services
  3. Download TYPO3 avalex extension

    After completing the data you can download the TYPO3 extension directly from the Avalex site, however we recommend always using the latest version from the TYPO3 Extension Repository (TER) or Packagist (Composer).

  4. Install the avalex extension

    In the next step install the extension (Note: when upgrading from version 1.0.0 of the extension, please run the update script in the extension manager). No other settings are need to be made in the extension manager.

  5. Add avalex plugin

    Visit a page in the TYPO3 backend and click on + Content to open the Content Element Wizard. Navigate to tab Avalex and choose one of the available plugins. No further settings are necessary. The text output will be with standard h2 headers and therefore should blend with the normal content.

    Add frontend plugin
  6. Create avalex configuration record

    Now it is required to add a configuration which contains the Avalex API key. Use the Add configuration button at one of the avalex plugins in the Page view for that.

    Add configuration button
  7. Configure avalex

    In the record you select the root page of your web site and the API key for the domain (which you get from the Avalex web site after registering for the service).
