Configuration

Using your own templates

You can use your own templates simply by inserting the path to the HTML-template and the path to the css and image files in the Constant Editor of your template.

Changing the Tagcloud Layout

The Color and Font-sizes of the tagcloud – as they are not changeable with CSS – can be changed in the Constant Editor.

Changing the TypoScript to further customize the T3Blog output

When you want to change any of the automatic output, make your changes in plugin.tx_t3blog_pi1.widgetName. If you want to make changes to plugins used as Content-Elements make your changes to plugin.tx_t3blog_pi2.widgetName.

After your changes call:

<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source=" FILE:EXT:lot3blog/static/lo_t3blog_template/output.txt ">

To make the changes work.

RealURL Konfiguration

An example RealURL configuration is included in the ressources.

Styling a List-Item

The List Item is defined between <!-- ###TEMPLATE_LIST_ITEM### begin --> and <!-- ###TEMPLATE_LIST_ITEM### end --> and has to lie within the ###TEMPLATE_LIST###. Wrapping some Text with <!-- ###SINGLE_LINK### --> Some Text<!-- ###SINGLE_LINK### --> links to the single entry.

The following markers will be replaced:

  • ###TITLE### Post Title

  • ###DATE### The date of the post
  • ###COMMENTS### Link to the comments

The single view has the same Markers like the List Item of the List view. Additionally the following are possible:

###TIME###

###ADD_COMMENT### A link to add comments.

###TRACKBACKLINK### A link for the trackback

There is no short_text and no first_image availible.

###COMMENT### AND ###TRACKBACK### will be replaced by comments / trackbacks.

Styling the Comment Section

Everything between <!-- ###COMMENT_LIST### begin--> and <!-- ###COMMENT_LIST### end--> will be replaced with the comments if (and only if) there are comments availible. ###PAGEBROWSER### outputs the Pagebrowser, everything between <!-- ###COMMENT### begin--> and <!-- ###COMMENT### end--> the single comment.

Here you have the following options:
