Latest TYPO3 stuff
Lately I’ve been quite busy (I’m doing a Master on Free Software) and I didn’t have time to write any post, actually I missed the chance to do it sometimes. So, before the year ends, I should write my last post and here it goes. This month I’ve published 2 new TYPO3 extensions:
- Pages categorization: It adds the possibility to relate pages with tt_news categories. This is very useful in some cases, because of you can have a plugin that shows news in pages with different categories, and the list of news will be different on each page. This extension also provides a function to get the news with the same categories than the current page.
- Accessible Ratings: This extension provides a plugin, which makes that Ratings extension works without JavaScript.
On the other hand, I found a page with the Formidable reference, it’s not complete but it’s updated to the last version. Furthermore, I’ve done some contributions to Formidable extension between November and December:
- Improved the
datasource:DB: Now it has new propertiesfields,tableandwheres. Whit this change is very easy to define queries from the XML. - Added a new property
meta/formwrap: It removes the HTMLformtag when you use Formidable just to show information (lists, detail, …) - New wizard icons for Formidable plugins.
All of this things come from my work in the Mancomún project, a TYPO3 project that we’re doing right now. You can check the current status of the project at SVN repository.
By the way, I’ve been testing DocBook and I like it to make slides, I should play more with it in the future.
