Introduction¶

Screenshots¶

Skin_grey_2 works best with 'tm_ contentaccess', which gives for you additional layout control and possibility to create“ *Typo3 Lite* ” '. Limited 'Columns' view resembles the view of 'TemplaVoila' .

I have made for tm_contentaccess some skin-specific images for skin_grey_2. Images are in the folder '/res/extra-icons/' of tm_contentaccess (also '/fe-icons/' has one skin-specific icon).

I have made almost full covering button set. Many record types use old-fashioned icons, but I have modified alternative icons for required record types in order to get more consistent icon sets. Because old-style icons relate only records, which can be modified only admin users, I'm not going to make modern icons for those records (for example 'Website language ' and 'Countries' ). Some default plugins, which are shipped with Typo3 3.8.1, don't have new icons because it is not in overall possible to take account all plugins and it is not necessary to install all shipped plugins.

Configuration¶

This skin has some installation level configurationusing enable options. You can use ' enable.TinyMCEStyles' also for other editors but you must edit related CSS-files, ' TinyMCEStyles*.css'. These files have today partial support for the 'htmlarea' plugin.

Many features can be set by using personal user setup options, which have defined using the module User> Setup (entire usage of personal user setupcan be disabled from enable optionsof the plugin).

If you want to change module icons, I have some ready made alternatives. For own module icons I added ' enable.ModuleIconSetPath' and corresponding personal user setup. Thepath is relative to the path of this extension and it should be set without forward slash (/) to the end, for example '../../../fileadmin/my_moduleicons' .

You can also use your own CSS-file for the skin using 'enable.styleSheetFile_post' or corresponding personal user setup. The path is relative to the path of this extension, for example '../../../fileadmin/my_post_css.css' .

You can set also the height of module icons for new icon sets. Because of technical reasons height and width of minus/plus bullets is fixed in the left frame menu.

Using skin_grey_2 it is possibleto add some extra configuration for 'tm_contentaccess' , which has been explained in the manual for tm_contentaccess.

I made for 'mod.skin_grey_2' as if module configuration. Even if skin_grey_2 doesn't have a backend module, it has settings, which relate with 'Setup > User' module. Using mod.skin_grey_2 for TS Config for users/user groups administrators can override enable features options and set default values or override personal user setup options (default values mean default values in default settings in enable options or personal setup if enable options don't have certain option). In addition it has some completely own control options.

Known problems¶

• Some enable options use XCLASS-implementations, whichcause conflicts with other plugins, which do the same for the same classes. In some of plugins made by Tapio Markula possible conflicts has been handled and there should not be conflicts with those plugins.
• If used in User > Setup 'startInTaskCenter' I don't get highlight working for default top menu and left menu frame, when Typo3 has been opened. Highlight works however with the new top menu.

To-Do list¶

Nothing at this moment.
