How-to Install TYPO3 Template.

How-to Install TYPO3 Template. Part 1

Here we are. And this is the 1st part of tutorial on how to install TYPO3 template by the example of Transition theme.

First, install the Typo3 CMS

Install TYPO3

In the folder templates, сreate a new folder fileadmin.
Unzip the folder TPL_transition.zip to fileadmin/templates/.

Create Folder Templates

Create the following site structure.

Select Template from the menu, or click Create template for a new website.

Edit Constants and Setup

Open the install.txt file in the folder fileadmin/templates/transition/

Copy the text in the #CONSTANTS and paste it the corresponding field. Click Update. Then, copy the #CONFIGURATION text and paste it to the Setup field.

Select Template menu. Click here to edit whole template and configure the corresponding image.

Click Show website. As you see, the top right menu is missing on the page screenshot.

There is a main menu with all templates, in Transition it’s the blue menu on the left, where the typoscriptdatei menu.txt or menu_links.txt or menu_oben.txt is assigned.

The footer menu is always file menu_unten.txt, but it does not come with Transition. Yet Transition has a top menu, which is the file menu_top.txt. Edit them and put into the subfolder Trenner with id 15.

The id must always be checked and adjusted accordingly, unless you import the t3d file first.
temp.menutop = HMENU
temp.menutop (
special = directory
special.value = 15
Save the file. Show Clear the cache in TYPO3 and click on web page.
The top menu appears.

Edit the file config.txt:
temp.copyright = TEXT
temp.copyright (
data = date: U
strftime =% Y
wrap = Copyright © | Mysite.com
)
Enter your name or domain here.

I created a new typo3 site and I don’t have a good design yet. But I hope your tutorial will help me a bit, but it looks complicated for a beginner like me.

shouldn’t it be:
In the folder fileadmin, сreate a new folder templates.
Unzip the folder TPL_transition.zip to fileadmin/templates/.

Where can I upload the folder TPL_transition.zip ? I didn’t find it anywhere.

And what site structure may I create if I’m using andreas template ? His structure is already in his typoscript file I suppose. How can I display it in the site ?

Thanks.
