@till
you are right in what you say, but i am not going to develop anything in typo3. there is a nice template for typo3 around - http://typo3-musterprojekt.de - that looks promising. will try this out. this combination covers the needs for my project just out of the box, no need to customize anything to get to get basic system functionality like in cmsimple. besides: as we found out in this post, there is no guarantee that these customizations actually work like they should

@connie
thanks for the hint with CMSmadeSimple. checked it out and it looks good. but at the moment i really feel like using an overkill system like typo3 in a productive environment

Sascha,

you are courageous! Have fun!

hi guys,
just wanted to let you know how the storiy continued. i switched the whole thing (http://www.slidescan.info and http://www.diasdigitalisieren.info) from cmsimple to typo3. that was easier than expected, but i avoided some known minefields that drive many typo3-beginners to madness:

1. webhoster
i dropped all-inkl.com and went to jweiland.net. have always been very pleased with all-inkl.com, but they can not provide typo3-support. jweiland.net is a specialized typo3-provider (there are some others around, like mittwald, or punkt.de), they all deliver you typo3 pre-installed. you don't need to worry about difficult things like installation and server-configuration. imho if you want to work professionally with typo3 and not just play around, a provider that can give you support is a big help. especially if your core business is not typo3-hosting and web development. of course this costs more. for all-inkl i paid 8 euro/months and had 10 gb storage, now it is 15 euro/month with only 5 gb storage.

2. template
i took the free typo3 musterproject jweiland provides to its customers. it works, and can do everything i need now. had only to change header and logo, that's it. no need to spend mega-bucks, for an individual template, when there is a free one that suits your needs. there are not as many free templates around like with cmsimple, but there are a few. if you you want an individual design you should add 500-2000 euro to your budget just for realising your webdesign in typoscript. when you take a free template this costs nothing.

3. setup
i must confess, i asked the support for initial setup. they did settings like multi-language with two different domains. well it costs some money, but i prefer to buy an hour of support against a few day struggle with a system i am not familiar with. it's just an economical decision. beat me, if you like...

all in all i am amazed, how many options typo3 has. if you are interested in it, it is a wonderful playground :) the other thing is: if you are not interested in it, you can get mad over this multitude of options :( for average users, cmsimple is by far easier to understand and to work with. after using it for some days, i switched the whole thing to the new domain http://www.scanguru.info, both for englisch and german. this time without help from support. it's always easier to customize an existing running system, that building a new one from scratch. in practical use it turned out, that it is better to have one domain, it's just more streamlined :)

i still use cmsimple, i.e. for small websites like http://chb-uebersetzungen.de, it is perfect. but for bigger projects, especially when they are multi-language and so on i will now take typo3. it is definitely more work to bring content online in typo3, but its flexibility is worth the effort.

what do you think about it? has anybody else made similar or other experiences?

did you check whether mod_rewrite is activated at your server?

What does .htaccess show?

test it with phpinfo();

hi connie,
why do you want to know that and for what system? this post is about two systems:

a) the old www.diasdigitalisieren.info on cmsimple
->this is not existing any more, it is deleted now. the domain is formwarded via .htaccess to the new domain www.scanguru.info
b) the new www.scanguru.info on typo3
-> as far as i know there is mod_rewrite activated, because otherwise the system would not produce urls like this.

see you,
sascha

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
# To prevent loop:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
# Do not rewrite requests to template or images dir:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !templates
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !images
#RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ ./index.php?$1
# Do not rewrite requests with any query strings:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ ./index.php?$1 
#RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(.*)\.html$ ./index.php?$1:$2
