DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

Configuration

Install tool

Consider to review the below mentioned entries in the installtool.

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['ddmmyy'] = 'd.m.y';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['hhmm'] = 'H:i';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['phpTimeZone'] = 'Europe/Zurich';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['systemLocale'] = 'de_CH.utf8';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['lockSSL'] = true;

Tip

The above mentioned configurations might be part from the file “typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php”. A sample file is provided in the directory “typo3conf/ext/pizpalue/Resources/Private/FolderStructureTemplateFiles/”.

Site configuration

With TYPO3 V9 site configuration has been introduced.

The distribution ships with a default site configuration file located in “typo3conf/ext/pizpalue/Resources/Private/FolderStructureTemplateFiles/sites”. In case the folder “typo3conf/sites/pizpalue” doesn’t the default site configuration file will be added to that directory upon installation.

Copying of the default site configuration might be disabled in the extension configuration found in the settings module.

Note

You might need to adjust the settings for the “Error Handling” as well as for the extension “news” by editing the configuration file (typo3conf/sites/pizpalue/config.yaml). Have a look at the following:

errorContentSource: 't3://page?uid=87' #change this: the number after "uid=" reflects the uid from the 404-page
routeEnhancers:
   NewsPluginDetail:
      type: Extbase
      limitToPages:
         - 95 #change this: the number reflects the uid from the news detail page
routeEnhancers:
   #...
   NewsPluginList:
      type: Extbase
      limitToPages:
         - 96 #change this: the number reflects the uid from the news list page

Constant editor

Many aspects from the web site can be configured through the constant editor.

To ease configuration parameters were grouped. The following main categories are available:

Category Description
PIZPALUE: ADMIN Everything related to the site administration
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER BASE Main customer related parameters
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER STYLE More detailed customer style related parameters
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER SOCIAL More detailed customer social network related parameters
PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER EXTENDED More detailed customer related parameters

Note

Most extensions provide their own configurations. For more detailed configurations consult the related manual.

Scroll animation

This feature is using the AOS-library and is enabled by default. It allows to animate content elements while the page is being scrolled.

Use the constant editor to disable the feature (category “PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER BASE - Features”) or configure it further (category “PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER EXTENDED - Animation”).

Four preconfigured animations are available in the animation dropdown menu from the appearance tab in the content element properties dialog. Those animations might be configured as well in the constant editor (category “PIZPALUE: CUSTOMER EXTENDED - Animation”).

App icons

In case just a simple favicon is required it can be specified in the category “PIZPALUE - CUSTOMER BASE” from the constants editor.

To get an app icon set for all major platforms the resources might be generated at the “Favicon generator” website. The resulting resources need to be copied to the server web directory and the header data assigned to the related field in the app icon section in the category “PIZPALUE - CUSTOMER BASE” from the constants editor. Remove any line breaks.

Fastmenu

By enabling the fastmenu an icon menu is shown on the right page border.

The menu items can be associated with a page or a content. In case a content is referenced it will be shown beside the menu.

The following configurations are available:

Category Purpose
PIZPALUE:CUSTOMER BASE To enable and disable the menu
PIZPALUE:CUSTOMER EXTENDED To define the icon and referenced content/page
PIZPALUE:CUSTOMER STYLE To define colors

Note

The amount of menu items can be adjusted through TS. To add a new item the following code might be used.

pizpalue.menu.fast.items {
   newItem {
      iconClass = ppicon ppicon-log-in
      contentUid =
      pageUid =
   }
}

Note

Embed new icons by generating your own icon font.
