What is a Wireframe?-
A wireframe provides a flexible tool for determining functional requirements and layout of a web site before before any artwork is developed.
Wireframes also act as a communication tool to clients and help creators, managers and developers determine content and structure before a lot of time and money is spent on final design and project implementation.

- What is the Zen Wireframe?
-
Zen Wireframe is a turnkey sample TYPO3 web site and project starter using the wireframe model for maximum simplicity.
New adopters can harness the power of popular pre-configured TYPO3 extensions without the steep learning curve. Seasoned users will save time using pages containing pre-configured extensions.
Designers can use the wireframe templates to quickly adapt graphic templates in the form of PSD and other image formats to create custom designs. Alternatively Designers can use their own CSS/HTML templates and use the provided TypoScript/Markers and extension templates.
- Should I use Zen Wireframe Core or Business editions?
-
Zen Wireframe Core and Zen Wireframe Business editions were created separately to provide a choice for your specific development and project requirements.
The strategy is to use both Zen Wireframe Core and business editions together to create custom projects using the .t3d export/import tool to copy parts of Zen Wireframe Business into Zen Wireframe Core for simpler projects needing only 1 or 2 features found in Zen Wireframe Business editions.

Once pages are exported from Zen Wireframe Business editions into Zen Wireframe Core, a minimal amount manual work is needed to get the extensions up and running. For larger projects requiring more functionality, Zen Wireframe Business editions are the way to go.
- Is Zen Wireframe TYPO3 version dependent?
-
Zen Wireframe is not dependent on dependent on TYPO3 version however, the extensions you download through TER may be. Essentially Zen Wireframe is a collection of HTML and CSS templates with TypoScript to configure pages and extensions.
There is no guarantee TYPO3 extensions in TER will be forward compatible with newer versions of TYPO3 or may even be stable in the future. Please contact the extension author(s) if you experience bug specific issues with an extension.
- How can we upgrade Zen Wireframe Core to Business editions and future upgrades?
-
You can import sections of Zen Wireframe Business editions into Zen Wireframe Core using the .t3d export/import method and then manually copy over required html/css files. All Zen Wireframe packages use the same directory structure and folder names.
The recommended way to upgrade existing projects using older versions of Zen Wireframe, is to use sub domains like new.mysite.com, dev.mysite.com, etc..
Keep the latest upgrade versions of Zen Wireframe on these sub domains and use the .t3d export/import tool to import new features and templates into your existing project sites.
Please see our tutorials section at www.mediatech.net/typo3_tutorials.html for more details.
- Why can I see the Backend pages but no Frontend pages after importing the .t3d file?
-
TYPO3 extensions listed in zwire-extensions.txt must be installed before importing the .t3d file. Failure to do so will result in no data records for those extensions being imported and templates will not be configured properly. If this occurs then simply do a fresh install.
Another reason for blank pages may be that you need to increase the memory limit in your server’s php.ini file. The minimum requirement of PHP memory for TYPO3 is 16MB. The recommended memory limit is 25MB or more.

- Why does PDF Generator 2 not work?
-
Make sure you set your php.ini memory limit to 32mb or higher. PDF Generator 2 is very memory intensive.
If you are trying to publish more than a few pages you will need to increase available memory. PDF Generator 2 is not recommended for publishing large documents (10+ pages).
