Why to use TYPO3 ?
From time to time this question pops up. So why would anyone use TYPO3 and not WordPress or Drupal ? I thought about writing an article on the subject until i found this article : An honest look at why we use TYPO3 written by Zach Davis. I couldn’t write it better so i’m sharing [...]

Is your extension compatible with TYPO3 4.6 ?
TYPO3 4.6 will be released this fall and this version comes with a few compatibility issues with older extensions. Every extension developer should check if his/her extension is compatible with this new major version and if not then there are a few months left to fix these issues. But how you might ask.

Oops, an error occured!
I’ve just upgraded the TYPO3 source on my website Ropedia.ro from 4.4.5 to 4.5.3 and after that a strange error appeared when trying to submit the registration form (made with sr_feuser_register 2.6.1). It was just saying: Oops, an error occured! Validation failed for : Ropedia.ro These kind of error messages are quite annoying because they [...]
Extbase, love it or hate it?
Extbase is one of the new technologies in TYPO3 that is being presented as the future and the new way to write extensions for TYPO3. Although it is marked as a Stable extension and it is bundled with TYPO3, it seems that Extbase is not yet ready for primetime. At least not for situations where [...]
The future of TYPO3 v4

It is being presented officially at [...]
Enabling PHP file uploads in TYPO3 Backend
At one project i’m working on i had to upload php files in a TYPO3 backend form. But the form was just throwing me the message that php files are not allowed as uploads. After some digging i found the solution to this problem. Actually it’s quite easy to fix. The only thing you need [...]
TYPO3 Powermail – let the user choose if he wants confirmation email or not
TYPO3′s Powermail extension is a great mailform tool that allows you to collect all kinds of data from users and send them through email to you and to the user.

Add a file upload to TYPO3 Flexform
I was wondering for a long time if this is possible. To add a file upload to a TYPO3 Flexform. But i never had the real need to implement something like this. Until today. I run into a problem where the only solution seemed to be a file upload in the extension’s flexform. And i [...]
