Community configuration

We are open to any additional configuration on top of the t3kit. To add it just follow two rules below:

1. It always should be inside .localconf/community/ folder
2. t3kit team will not support it

Clean up the project

If there no needs to use t3kit starter database or Docker configuration for local development, then just delete folder .localconf from the root of your project rm -r .localconf

Quick start a new project on t3kit base (two options)

1. Start with composer create-project

   composer create-project --no-dev --no-scripts --remove-vcs t3kit/t3kit-starter my-new-project v11.0.0-beta.2

2. Or use as a template in GitHub (recommended). If you are using GitHub to store your future project, then you can just clone t3kit-starter as a template to your new project repository with Use this template green button in t3kit organization in the t3kit-starter repository.

Start with t3kit local development

1. Check that nginx-proxy started

2. git clone [email protected]:t3kit/t3kit-starter.git - Clone the repository

3. composer env - Configure local development environment variables

   *Note: To continue with Docker based local development you need to create an environment .env file for your project based on an example local.env. You can create .env file by running: composer env as described above or cp .localconf/local.env .env.

   • Check all environment variables in .env file and change them if it needed
   • OS-specific settings in .env file
     • Linux
       • Uncomment USER_ID var and set up your host user id to make the shared folder writable. (Skip this step if you are a Mac user)

4. composer i - Install composer dependencies, or run composer ci if you don't have PHP v8 as your main local environment

5. npm install - Install npm dependencies

6. npm run dev - Build development assests for themes

7. docker compose up -d - Start all Docker services for a local development environment

8. Setup t3kit starter database composer dbup

9. Open t3kit11.t3.localhost in browser Google Chrome

10. Open TYPO3 BE t3kit11.t3.localhost/typo3 ---> [user: admin, password: admin1234]

11. Open TYPO3 Install tool t3kit11.t3.localhost/typo3/install.php ---> [password: admin1234]

Create your custom theme based on t3kit to extend the functionality.

public/typo3conf/ext/theme_newcustomproject in this folder you can find an example of TYPO3 extension that can be a good starting point for extending the default t3kit theme. With this "subtheme" extension, you can change the design and add the necessary content elements while maintaining the main features of t3kit, and the ability to easily upgrade to newer versions of TYPO3 and t3kit.

Quick start

1. Define a name for your new theme. For example, let's take the name mega

2. Create a new extension based on theme_newcustomproject

   cp -r public/typo3conf/ext/theme_newcustomproject public/typo3conf/ext/theme_mega

   Note: Change the mega part in public/typo3conf/ext/theme_mega to your real project neme

3. Rename newcustomproject to your project name. In our example, we are using mega as a project name.

   • Mac

       grep -rl 'newcustomproject' public/typo3conf/ext/theme_mega | xargs sed -i '' 's/newcustomproject/mega/g'

   • Linux

       grep -rl 'newcustomproject' public/typo3conf/ext/theme_mega | xargs sed -i 's/newcustomproject/mega/g'

Note: Change the mega part in **/ext/theme_mega and s/newcustomproject/mega/g to your real project neme

4. Activate theme_mega extension

   • add new repository to root composer.json

       "repositories": [
           {
           "type": "path",
           "url": "public/typo3conf/ext/theme_mega"
           }
       ],

   • Install a new theme_mega extension

       composer co require typo3-local/theme_mega
       npm install
       npm run dev

5. Enable theme_mega for the site Site Management -> Sites -> Site Theme

Local development tools

t3kit database manipulation - Setup/Restore/Pack

• Setup t3kit db: composer dbup
• Restore t3kit db: composer dbre
• Pack (save) t3kit db: composer dbp

phpMyAdmin

Run phpMyAdmin docker container and connect it to needed DB host

docker run --name pma -d -e PMA_ARBITRARY=1 --restart=unless-stopped --network nproxy -p 8083:80 phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin

nginx-proxy

nginx-proxy for t3kit11 project

For all t3kit projects, we need just a one nginx-proxy started as a separate Docker container. Based on Automated Nginx Reverse Proxy for Docker

Setup

git clone [email protected]:t3kit/t3kit-dockerhub.git
cd t3kit-dockerhub/nproxy
docker compose up -d
