Installation
The extension has to be installed like any other TYPO3 CMS extension.
Warning
This is a development tool, not a production theme. It belongs in a development or test instance, not in a live site — that applies to every installation method described below.
Composer mode
Being a development tool, it usually belongs in require-dev — of the
extension repository whose frontend is to be looked at, or of the test instance
set up for it:
composer require --dev sbuerk/theme-extension-developmentA TYPO3 extension required that way is installed and activated exactly like any
other one, because typo3/cms-composer-installers makes no distinction
between require and require-dev. A deployment installing with
composer install --no-dev simply leaves it out, which is the point.
Note
As long as no stable version has been released, the development version of the main branch has to be required explicitly:
composer require --dev sbuerk/theme-extension-development:^2.0@devThis additionally requires minimum-stability to be set to dev
together with prefer-stable set to true in the root
composer. file.
Classic mode
- Get it from the Extension Manager: Switch to the module Admin Tools > Extensions, switch to Get Extensions and search for the extension key theme_extension_development, then import the extension from the repository.
- Get it from typo3.org: You can always get the current version from TER by downloading the zip version. Upload the file afterwards in the Extension Manager.
Installing the extension does not render anything yet. The theme still has to be enabled for a site — see Configuration.
