I just sent two extension updates to TER. They will appear soon. Login user track and comments were updated.
Login user track is a TYPO3 extension that records Frontend user activities. It records when user last logged in, how many pages he visited and what pages he visited. The extension was originally written by Kasper but was not updated for a long time. Netcreators needed additional functionality to this extension, so I took it, added...
Today I had an interesting challenge. I had to create a contact form on the Intranet web site. This web site always has Frontend user logged in. I was going to use standard TYPO3 mailform. Typically such form contains fields for user name and e-mail. When I started to create the form, I immediately realized that it will be stupid to ask for this information if user is already logged it. I should find a way to insert this information automatically.
In July I had a session about personal productivity at TYPO3 user group in Holland. I planned to make video from these slides but I instead I decided another way to share slides. I put them to SlideShare. You can also vote for these slides to participate in the "World Best Presentation Contest' 08".
Enjoy!

From time to time I see this question: how to fill RealURL cache with page addresses?
The answer is pretty simple...
In the previous article we talked about TYPO3 template functions. I mentioned that substituteMarkerArrayCached is a function that developers should not use. In this article I am going to explain why.
As you remember...
Firsts, I wanted to write a warning article about the substituteMarkerArrayCached function. But then I understood that article is going to be about template functions in general and warning should be in the different article.
Let's have an overview of TYPO3 templates and functions to handle them.
TYPO3 template basics
Templates in TYPO3 are normal HTML files. These files contain special markers that TYPO3 can replace with data. Markers typically are words in CAPS surrounded by three hash...
On July 4th I made two presentations at TYPO3 user group in Netherlands. The first was about TYPO3 core and the second is about being productive.
I got a lot of requests for these slides and I promised to put them online. Here is the TYPO3 core presentation. It did not contain much text on the slides, so I made a QuickTime videos. Videos are available in two sizes:
Small (256x192, 4.6MB)Medium (512x384, 9MB)
I must tell that this is my first experience in making video out of presentations,...
Today I went to check buzz.typo3.org for new articles. I scanned through some when I came across the article named "Dynamic Caching in TYPO3". The article is interesting because it describes unusual techniques related to caching. But author does one "not-so-good" thing. He promotes the use of $TSFE->set_no_cache(). As I said many times, this is evil and should be avoided at all costs! Search for another solution, do whatever tricks but never ever use set_no_cache()! It...
