EXT: WEC Constants¶

What does it do?¶

The WEC Constants extension is a simple packaging of common Typoscript constants for use on a site. Values such as site name, contact email, etc. can be defined in one location (the constant editor) and then re- used in multiple locations throughout the site.

This concept has been used extensively in the Web Empowered Church Starter Package. The WEC Starter Package is a version of TYPO3 that has been pre-configured with default extensions, page structure, and templates. The value of WEC Constants comes in when we try to share data between these three data sources. Multiple TemplaVoila templates, for one, can share common WEC Constants so that site specific data is preserved when changing templates. Likewise, WEC Constants can be used to configure extensions in a more global manner. For example, setting the WEC Constant for date format in one location can server to configure the date format for both news and calendar extensions throughout the site.

What does it not do?¶

There are a lot of things the WEC Constants does not do! The extension currently contains no real code; it is simply a set of default Typoscript values that existing TYPO3 capabilities can use. These values were developed specifically for use with the WEC Starter Package and the WEC Data Structure component of a TemplaVoila Template. They may be useful in non-Starter Package environments, however, so feel free to use the extension and pass along any suggestions you may have for future versions.

What is the Web Empowered Church?¶

The Web-Empowered Church (WEC) is a ministry of Christian Technology Ministries International ( www.CTMIinc.org ). The mission of WEC is to innovatively apply WEB technology to EMPOWER the worldwide CHURCH for ministry.

WEC will help churches around the world expand evangelism, discipleship, and care through the innovative application of Internet technology. WEC web-based tools and training will help make church ministries more efficient and effective, and will extend ministry impact to a world in need of Jesus (See :underline:`www.WebEmpoweredChurch.org/Jesus <http://www.webempoweredchurch.org/Jesus>`_ ). We want to fuel a worldwide movement using the Internet to point the world to Jesus Christ, to grow disciples, and to care for those in need. Our desire is to use the web to empower the Church to become a truly 24 hours per day 7 days per week ministry that is not constrained by walls or distance or time.
