TYPO3 CMS
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS)
|
|
|
|
TYPO3 is an open source PHP based web content management system released
|
|
under the GNU GPL. TYPO3 is copyright (c) 1999-2017 by Kasper Skaarhoj.
|
|
|
|
This document provides a basic introduction to TYPO3.
|
|
|
|
Getting Started
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
TYPO3 requires a webserver with PHP and a database (MySQL recommended).
|
|
Accessing the backend through a supported browser.
|
|
|
|
Please see the INSTALL.md in this folder in order to set up a basic TYPO3
|
|
installation on your webserver.
|
|
|
|
What is TYPO3?
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
TYPO3 is a free and open source Content Management Framework. It is released
|
|
under the GNU General Public License. It can run on several web servers, such
|
|
as Apache or IIS, on top of many operating systems, among them Linux, Microsoft
|
|
Windows, FreeBSD or MacOS X.
|
|
|
|
TYPO3 was initially authored by Kasper Skårhøj and is now further developed
|
|
by a community of Active Contributors around a small TYPO3 CMS Team.

What is a Content Management Framework?
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A Content Management Framework is more than just a content management system,
|
|
due to the separation of the streamlined core and optional plugins
|
|
(extensions). TYPO3 has an open API that allows you to extend the frontend (web
|
|
site) and/or backend (administration) functionalities.
|
|
|
|
The concept of extensions makes TYPO3 capable of being developed and used
|
|
in almost any way you can imagine, either by using any of the many extensions
|
|
which are available for download, or by writing your own.
|
|
|
|
TYPO3 System requirements
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
TYPO3 is based upon PHP and uses a MySQL database. For more information
|
|
regarding these requirements see the [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) file in this folder.
|
|
|
|
Using the Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL) allows one to use TYPO3 with other
|
|
Database Management Systems, like PostgreSQL, Oracle and MSSQL.
|
|
|
|
TYPO3 resources
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Here is an overview of the most important TYPO3 resources to help you get
|
|
started:
|
|
|
|
### Get more information
|
|
|
|
* https://typo3.org is the main project website. It provides up to
|
|
date official news, information about events, access to downloading the
|
|
products and extensions.
|
|
|
|
* https://wiki.typo3.org is a collaborative wiki, providing access to
|
|
all kind of information around the TYPO3 ecosphere.
|
|
|
|
* https://docs.typo3.org/: TYPO3 is one of the most thoroughly
|
|
documented OpenSource products around, with manuals covering basic
|
|
tutorials, TypoScript, administration, development, core structure, etc.
|
|
You should make the time to locate the various documents, and read those
|
|
that apply to the work you want to do.
|
|
|
|
### Chat with us
|
|
|
|
The TYPO3 team is using a tool called Slack to openly communicate with each
|
|
other and with the public. Several teams use Slack as a way to communicate
|
|
internally and most channels are a welcome place for you to join and get
|
|
yourself involved.
|
|
|
|
* Register: https://forger.typo3.org/slack/
|
|
* Slack: https://typo3.slack.com/
|
|
|
|
### Exchange information, ask questions, get help
|
|
|
|
Slack is nice for short discussions, but when asking questions, most
|
|
answers are lost in the noise after a few minutes. To let everyone
|
|
profit from an answer, we recommend to ask questions on StackOverflow.
|
|
If you like, you can then post a link into the corresponding Slack
|
|
channel to raise attention. And please, do not forget to tag your
|
|
questions correctly with `TYPO3` (and possibly other tags like `Fluid`
|
|
or `Extbase`).
|
|
|
|
* [StackOverflow questions tagged "TYPO3"](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/typo3)
|
|
|
|
The community and all TYPO3 teams communicate through newsgroups, which can
|
|
also be accessed through mailing lists and forums. Any of these three ways
|
|
provide access to the same communication channels:
|
|
|
|
* Forum (Web): https://forum.typo3.org/
|
|
* Mailing Lists (Mail): https://typo3.org/support/mailing-lists/
|
|
* Newsgroups (NNTP): news://lists.typo3.org/
|

Final notes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
TYPO3 is said to be one of the most sophisticated PHP / Internet related
|
|
applications available, and the more you play with it, the more you will agree.
|
|
|
|
Due to the advanced level of the code and functionality, a degree of study,
|
|
time and perseverance is required to fully understand it, and get the best from
|
|
it. You should keep trying, as we say it's definitely worth it. TYPO3 is the
|
|
Enterprise Content Management System "for all".
|
|
|
|
The GPL license allows for developments that are based upon TYPO3 to also be
|
|
freely available under the GPL. Please remember this, because TYPO3 is about
|
|
"Inspiring People To Share". If you are making money with TYPO3 you can donate
|
|
or become a member of the TYPO3 Association.
|
|
|
|
By becoming a supporting member, individuals and organisations mainly fund
|
|
core development of TYPO3. The decision about what the funds are used for, is
|
|
made by all members of the Association and the Expert Advisory Board (EAB).
|
|
The decisions will be made transparent to the community and especially the
|
|
supporting members. Your funds will also serve for other purposes as laid
|
|
out in the bylaws.
