Documentation¶
The following document holds information about the installation of the TYPO3 dfgviewer extension.
Installation¶
The current release 4.1 will only work with TYPO3 7.6. We will release a TYPO3 8.7 compatible version soon.
The extension is based on Kitodo.Presentation (dlf). Before you can start to use the DFG Viewer (dfgviewer) in your TYPO3 installation, you have to install both extensions. This is done preferable by composer.
Install a fresh TYPO3 7.6¶
If you have no TYPO3 7.6 system running, you may install a fresh system by composer:
# assume the installation directory will be /var/www/dfgviewer
cd /var/www/
# enable HTTP because some dependancies of TYPO3 7.6 refer to a non-HTTPS resource.
composer config -g secure-http false
composer create-project typo3/cms-base-distribution dfgviewer 7.6
Error
Unfortunately, this will end in an error message:
[RuntimeException]
Could not scan for classes inside "web/typo3/sysext/extbase/Tests/Unit/Object/Container/Fixtures/" which does not appear to be a file nor a folder
You have to edit the /var/www/dfgviewer/composer.json by hand and remove the line:
"classmap": ["web/typo3/sysext/extbase/Tests/Unit/Object/Container/Fixtures/"]
Save and close the composer.json and run composer update in /var/www/dfgviewer:
composer update
Create the FIRST_INSTALL file in the documentroot of your new installation:
touch web/FIRST_INSTALL
Continue now in your webbrowser to install the TYPO3 7.6 CMS.
At the end of the Install Tool, choose the option “Do nothing, just get me to the Backend.”.
The DFG-Viewer extension assumes the default language is German (&L=0) and you configure an additional “website-language” English (&L=1). This is only relevant for localization of the metadata and structures labels.
Recommended Steps after Installation¶
- Go to the language module and install “German” as backend language.
- [optional] Change the backend language in your user settings to German.
- Create a new record “Website Language” on Page “0”.
- Go to the Install Tool –> All Configurations and change the default settings of pageNotFoundOnCHashError to ‘0’.
Your typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php should contain this:
'FE' => [
'pageNotFoundOnCHashError' => '0',
],
Install DFG-Viewer and Kitodo.Presentation via Composer¶
Composer commands:
composer require slub/dfgviewer:dev-master
This will install the DFG-Viewer extension and Kitodo.Presentation 2.2 from TER.
Now you have to install the extension “dfgviewer” via the extension manager. It will install “dlf” (Kitodo.Presentation) as dependancy automatically.
During the installation, three pages will be created: a root page, the “Kitodo Configuration” folder and the viewer itself.
Configure DFG-Viewer and Kitodo.Presentation¶
You have to open and save once the configuration of Kitodo.Presentation in the extension manager. This is necessary to write the default configuration to the LocalConfiguration.php file.
The DFG-Viewer is almost configured. Only the Page-ID-constants have to be adjustet. Go to the template module and use the constant editor to fit your installation.
Success¶
Now your installation should work. You can test this with the following url (replace host and id with the parameters of your installation):
Known Problems¶
You should use the following configuration in typo3confLocalConfiguration.php:
'FE' => [
'pageNotFoundOnCHashError' => '0',
'pageNotFound_handling' => '',
],
If you want to reinstall the DFG-Viewer extension, the metadata and structure records won’t be created a second time. To force this, you have to delete the entry in table ‘sys_references’.
