Zen Wireframe Business 2.2 README

Make sure you read the install.txt file before proceeding.

Important! The supplied .t3d import file is to be used for new TYPO3 version 4.2.x installations with no pages NOT existing projects or versions 4.1.x and earlier. Do not attempt to install the supplied .t3d import file if you have ever created or deleted pages on a TYPO3 installation!

Also be aware that many Typoscript extension templates and extension flexforms need to be modified to include real details about you, your client, business or organization such as email address, company/organization name and other important criteria. Please be sure to read the original manuals that come with each extension. These can be located in the Extension Manager and online at http://typo3.org/extensions/

Zen Wireframe 2.2 introduces new documentation for the example pages covering Typoscript, HTML and CSS used for most extensions. Please be sure to refer to the online extension manuals which are linked in each example page on the first paragraph for additional setup and configuration information.

Zen Wireframe Core XHTML templates and Typoscript are used for building production web sites for Mediatech Consulting. Mediatech Consulting, its employees, partners and affiliates are not responsible for software available through TYPO3 and the TYPO3 extension repository. If you find bugs or require software support, please contact the original software author(s).

Zen Wireframe includes a Front end and a Backend user. The Frontend and Backend users are for demonstration purposes only and need to have their default usernames and passwords changed immediately. Failure to do so may put your installation at risk.

The Frontend user belongs to the Frontend usergroups "ConfirmedMember, Moderator and Admin" for administrating mm_forum, adding calendar events in the Frontend, editing Yellow Page listings and proposing new downloads and links. Create a new Frontend user account using the registration system to see the limitations for a common Frontend user only belonging to the usergroup "ConfirmedMember".

Frontend user:
username: john
password: 123456

The Backend user belongs to the Backend usergroup "News" to demonstrate how TYPO3's administrative interface can be simplified for an editor. The Backend user belonging to the usergroup "News" only has Access to the News section for managing news article and comments. Access has also been granted to the Filelist module.

Backend user:
username: john
password: 123456

To grant the Backend user access to the News pagetree, go to Web>Access then click on News (pid=60). Next, in the right column, click the edit icon to the right of News. In "Permissions: EDIT", select "Group: news" from the dropdown menu. In the second drop down menu below Permissions:, select "set recursively 1 levels (4 pages affected)" and click Save. That's it. Now log out as admin and log back in using the username and password john/123456.

Before installing Zen Wireframe, please be sure to read zwire/install.txt and visit our tutorials pages first! This will potentially save you many hours of guess work and prevent common mistakes.

Note: The tutorial section uses examples of TYPO3 4.1.x Backend and Zen Wireframe v.2.01. The general principals still apply to the newer TYPO3 4.2.x Backend. Tutorials will be updated as time and funds permit.

TIPS

Make sure you first install all the extensions listed in zwire-extensions.txt "before" importing the .t3d file!

Do not upgrade from Zen Wireframe Core to Zen Wireframe Business on the same database! If you decide to switch from Zen Wireframe Core to Business you will need to do a fresh TYPO3 installation.

If you decide to migrate portions of Zen Wireframe Business over to Zen Wireframe Core using the .t3d export/import tool, make sure you BACKUP your project site database before importing .t3d files into Zen Wireframe Core.

Make sure to setup of a robots.txt file to hide exposed directories you don't want indexed!

Example robots.txt:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /fileadmin/
Disallow: /fileadmin/
Disallow: /t3lib/
Disallow: /typo3/
Disallow: /typo3conf/
Disallow: /typo3_src/
Disallow: /uploads/

Enjoy!
