Hint: Blank Typo3 installation screen

Friday, August 14th, 2009 | Typo3 | 1 Comment

If you experience a blank installation screen while trying to setup Typo3, take a look at your mysql database time out setting in your php.ini file:

mysql.connect_timeout = 60

If this exceeds your max_execution_time setting, you’ll get a blank typo3 installation screen. Set it to a low vale, e.g. 5.

Ext: tt_news – no translation for name of months

Typo3-Extension: tt_news – non translated month names

If you stumble across this problem, maybe you haven’t installed the right locale on your linux computer.  Open a new shell and type

locale -a

This prints out all available locales. Refer to your OS manual on how to install additional locales.
Try this php script for testing locales (taken from php manual setlocale)

<?php
/* Set locale to Dutch */
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL');

/* Output: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */
echo strftime("%A %e %B %Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978));

/* try different possible locale names for german as of PHP 4.3.0 */
$loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge');
echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'";
?>

Ext: indexed_search – Disable indexing of meta tags

Monday, May 11th, 2009 | Typo3 | No Comments

Typo3-Extension: Indexed Search Engine – how to disable the indexing of meta tags (description, etc.)

Just put this line into your template setup code

config.index_metatags =

That’s all. Do not use

config.index_metatags = 0

because this does not work (indexing still occurs).
