Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
- This extension makes it possible to automatically check for new TYPO3 updates against the sourceforge downloadable files.
- Especially administrators might be interested in this extension, because you can administrate many different TYPO3 installations with a extremely low organizational cost.
- The extension is based on a cli-module, which can be configured to check sourceforge for new typo3_src packages.
- In case of new available updates the extension spreads out emails to predefined email-addresses and displays a message on the About Modules Page.
Users manual¶
There is now user manual. Refer to the Administration.
Administration¶
First of all you get the extension up and running via the Extension Manager. Just import the extension and install it. You will be asked to make some updates to the database.
After installation you have to set up a cronjob. If you have access to a shell and you can configure crontab, then you can add the following lines for example:
0 2 * * * /absolute_path/typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh t3updatecheck
This will enable your system to run the script every day at 02:00 am. For more information on cronjobs and how to use them check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cronjob . If you like, you can override the backend conf with some additional attributes. Try to use -S to check only for stable versions or -D to check only for development versions (or combine them).
If you do not have access to the crontab, get in contact with your hosting provider so he might update it for you.
Configuration¶
There is no configuration via typoscript available for this extension.
Known problems¶
None at the moment.
To-Do list¶
None at the moment.
