Introduction¶

This extension is a FE plugin for the Tesseract Project. It connects a Data Consumer with one or more Data Providers and Data Filters in order to display data in the TYPO3 FE.

If this sounds like gibberish please go straight to the Tutorial chapter of this manual which explains all the basic concepts. For an even quicker introduction you can refer to the tutorial screencast found on the Tesseract web site (http://typo3-tesseract.com/).

Screenshot¶

An example of the power of the Tesseract Project: a SQL-based query, a HTML template with a point-and-click mapping interface, the Display Controller to relate these two components together, and a result in the frontend.
