Introduction¶

What does it do?¶

This is the implementation of the Framework for TemplaVoila as a TYPO3 extension.

At its heart, this framework is a workflow supported by a code base and set of best practices to produce visually-varied sites quickly and consistently using TemplaVoila. Providing the code for the framework as an extension means:

Sites running on the extension version of the framework can receive future updates by updating the extension through the extension manager.

The framework can be brought into brand new TYPO3 installations or existing installations. It is no longer essential to start new sites with the Busy Noggin QuickSite.

Skins for the framework can now be packaged and distributed as extensions.

Skins can be easily managed with a new point and click interface

Instructions on using the framework and developing web site skins can be found at http://templavoila.busynoggin.com.

Installation¶

The Busy Noggin QuickSite is a ready-to-go installation of TYPO3 running the Templavoila Framework extension. You can find it at http://templavoila.busynoggin.com/.

The WEC Starter package also runs the framework and is available at http://webempoweredchurch.org/services/starter-package/. This package includes several extensions and five skins.

Installing in a TYPO3 Dummy Installation¶

There are instructions for installing the extension into a TYPO3 Dummy Package at http://templavoila.busynoggin.com/index.php?id=141

Installing into an Existing TYPO3 Installation¶

Currently we only recommend using the extension in a new TYPO3 install. This means installing the extension in a TYPO3 Dummy Package or using a ready-to-package from Busy Noggin or WEC.

There are many considerations when trying to convert an existing web site to the framework. The issues revolve around converting the content to the new data structures, properly accommodating for existing FCEs, converting previous DSs to the new TemplaVoila static data structures and more. If such conversions are attempted, they should only be done on a copy of the site and by a developer well versed in TemplaVoila and the TemplaVoila Framework.

Known Problems¶

The “Framework for TemplaVoila” extension conflicts with the TIMTAB blog extension if TIMTAB is loaded first. This is due to TIMTAB's initialization of backend classes before an XCLASS from the “Framework for TemplaVoila” is registered. If this happens you can uninstall TIMTAB and then reinstall TIMTAB. This will cause it to load after the framework.

To-Do List¶

Add documentation for installation, usage, and skin development.
