Preparation Typo3 v8

  • Update Extensions to avoid problems after update.
    • The IG LDAP Extension is the most likely culprit, we recommend to update to version 3.6.0 (which is compatible for typo3 v8 - v10). (Warning: later versions had problem with our LDAP Server, do not install any newer version if not needed)
      • Open the ldap 3.6 extension config dialog (e.g. enable fe ldap, be ldap,...) and save it, to replay the config in T3 V9.
      • Check if login still works (if not, it is possible to create new local admin users via /typo3/install.php)
    • Update QFQ
  • To easily downgrade again:
    • copy the entire `typo3conf` Folder and store it in a temporary folder.
    • Backup the typo3 database
Versions of Extensions:
Extension Version
ig_ldap_sso 3.6.0

upgrade to newest version of Typo3 v9

  • download 9.5.26
  • replace symlink typo3_src
    rm typo3_src
ln -s /var/www/typo3_src-9.5.26/ typo3_src
  • go to installtool: /typo3/install.php
  • Upgrade: Run the upgrade wizard under
    • Whenever there is an option, choose the default (most of the time to not do it, like backward compability to typo3 7 etc.)
  • Maintenance:
    • Database analyzer and apply the changes
    • Flush Caches
  • Environment: Directory Status" and autofix problems (this should create .htaccess for page slugs)
  • Settings > Configure Extension > ig_ldap_sso_auth: Backend / Frontend.
  • Try to login to the backend
  • Update to the newest Version of uzh_cd: https://www.math.uzh.ch/repo/?dir=uzhcd/v9
    • Please note changes that have to be made to the config:
      • Remove all default js and css references for qfq, they are included now
      • Rewrite cd.fullWidth.pidList = 5,10 to: 
        cd.fullWidth.pidList = 5 in tree.rootLineIds || 10 in tree.rootLineIds
  • If not happened before, update QFQ: https://qfq.io/download/?dir=releases (at least v 22.10.1)
  • Do not update ig_ldap past 3.6.0!
Versions of Extensions:
Extension Version
ig_ldap_sso 3.6.0
uzh_cd_extension 22.11.07 +
qfq 22.10.1 +

Enable content columns

Edit root page

Cache problem

Pages don't refresh immediately when the backend user is logged in. This behavior is not given with logged out beUser.

Upgrade to Typo3 v10

Update reference index (in T3 V9):

  • “System” > “DB check” module and use the “Check and update global reference index” function. UpdateReferenceIndex

V10 Update:

  • Download Typo3 v10
    cd /var/www/
wget --content-disposition https://get.typo3.org/10.4.15
tar -xzf typo3_src-10.4.15.tar.gz
rm typo3_src-10.4.15.tar.gz
  • Replace symlink
    rm typo3_src
ln -s /var/www/typo3_src-10.4.15/ typo3_src

Hint: After changing the symlink to newer typo3 versions sometimes it's helpful to delete the content from typo3temp folder. This clears some errors that can appear after version upgrade.

Install tool: /typo3/install.php (If an error message appears instead of the install tool, clear the typo3temp folder!)

  • Upgrade > Upgrade wizzard:
    • execute all except the ones that install extensions
  • Maintenance > Analyze Database Structure > apply all changes
  • Settings > Manage System Maintainers > List all BE accounts which needs access to extension installation.
  • Dump TCA
  • Maintenance > Clear caches: Maintenance > Flush Cache
  • Maintenance > Remove Temporary Assets
  • Environment > Directory Status autofix problems (this should create/update .htaccess for page slugs)

Typo3 Backend

  • Sites > New Configuration
    • This is needed for slugs to work. Also you need to create a second language entry here, if you have a german/english site.

Apache

  • Configure apache webserver correctly:
    • If not done then insert following parameters in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf
      <Directory /var/www/html>
    Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +Includes
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all   
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.shtml
</Directory>
  • Execute 'service apache2 reload' in terminal
  • Open any page with a qfq record, you will get a warning message that you need to update {{pageAlias:T}} and {{pageId:T}} with an option to automatically do this > run the updater
    • Afterwards click on check again and then choose "to never check for this again".
    • Please note that all handwritten urls in qfq and form records have to be changed to slugs!
    • Check if everything is working and make adjustment. Usually it just misses the slugs.
    • For multilanguage setup, note that there is no longer an L=1 url parameter and you have to adjust records accordingly

FeLogin template configuration

If Typo3 V10.4 or newer is used, then felogin plugin is deprecated and the previously setup configuration of the UZH CD Extension doesn't work anymore. There are two options of using a FeLogin template in T3 V11:
  • Own created template
  • Template from UZH CD Extension

Own created template

The own created feLogin template must be written with the fluid engine syntax. Other used engine syntax doesn't work anymore in Typo3 V11. Variables are defined with curly brackets and can be created on your own:

plugin.tx_felogin_login {

  settings {
    # First own variable
    myValueOne = Example Text
    # Second own variable
    myValueTwo = Hello, world!
  }  
}

Get the access to these variables in fluid template with:

{settings.myValueOne}
{settings.myValueTwo}

Linking your own feLogin template is done following way (destination folder should be named 'Felogin') (Template > Setup):

For starting use the two examples of fluid felogin templates which are attached to this documentation.

IMPORTANT: Sometimes the user given template will not be priorised from typo3. This can be fixed by renaming the original Felogin templates (Login.html, Logout.html) from the typo3 folder: 

typo3/sysext/felogin/Resources/Private/Templates/Login

Templates has to be named Login.html/Logout.html

Use from UZH CD extension

Actually the uzh cd extension does not deliver a compatible fluid version of a felogin template. Its still in progress and should be delivered soon. But you can use the two example template files from the attachement of this documentation.
To link the templates from the UZH CD extension (Template > Setup):

Nginx

NGinx does not read .htaccess files, so you need to manually add the config to your nginx sites. Here is an include:

# Compressing resource files will save bandwidth and so improve loading speed especially for users
# with slower internet connections. TYPO3 can compress the .js and .css files for you.
# *) Set $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['compressionLevel'] = 9 for the Backend
# *) Set $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['compressionLevel'] = 9 together with the TypoScript properties
#    config.compressJs and config.compressCss for GZIP compression of Frontend JS and CSS files.
location ~ \.js\.gzip$ {
    add_header Content-Encoding gzip;
    gzip off;
    types { text/javascript gzip; }
}
location ~ \.css\.gzip$ {
    add_header Content-Encoding gzip;
    gzip off;
    types { text/css gzip; }
}

# TYPO3 - Rule for versioned static files, configured through:
# - $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['versionNumberInFilename']
# - $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['versionNumberInFilename']
if (!-e $request_filename) {
    rewrite ^/(.+)\.(\d+)\.(php|js|css|png|jpg|gif|gzip)$ /$1.$3 last;
}

# TYPO3 - Block access to composer files
location ~* composer\.(?:json|lock) {
    deny all;
}

# TYPO3 - Block access to flexform files
location ~* flexform[^.]*\.xml {
    deny all;
}

# TYPO3 - Block access to language files
location ~* locallang[^.]*\.(?:xml|xlf)$ {
    deny all;
}

# TYPO3 - Block access to static typoscript files
location ~* ext_conf_template\.txt|ext_typoscript_constants\.txt|ext_typoscript_setup\.txt {
    deny all;
}

# TYPO3 - Block access to miscellaneous protected files
location ~* /.*\.(?:bak|co?nf|cfg|ya?ml|ts|typoscript|tsconfig|dist|fla|in[ci]|log|sh|sql|sqlite)$ {
    deny all;
}

# TYPO3 - Block access to recycler and temporary directories
location ~ _(?:recycler|temp)_/ {
    deny all;
}

# TYPO3 - Block access to configuration files stored in fileadmin
location ~ fileadmin/(?:templates)/.*\.(?:txt|ts|typoscript)$ {
    deny all;
}

# TYPO3 - Block access to libraries, source and temporary compiled data

}

# TYPO3 - Block access to protected extension directories
location ~ (?:typo3conf/ext|typo3/sysext|typo3/ext)/[^/]+/(?:Configuration|Resources/Private|Tests?|Documentation|docs?)/ {
    deny all;
}

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
    if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
        return 404;
    }
    fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
    fastcgi_buffers 8 16k;
    fastcgi_connect_timeout 240s;
    fastcgi_read_timeout 240s;
    fastcgi_send_timeout 240s;

    # this is the PHP-FPM upstream - see also: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/phpfcgi/#connecting-nginx-to-php-fpm
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;

}

the fastcgi_pass needs to be edited, here it is for standard ubuntu 20.04 nginx server.

You can save this file to /etc/nginx/snippets/typo3.conf and include it in your site config via `include ../snippets/typo3.conf`

DB set default values

Use following script to set default values in DB. It's necessary in newer database versions.

php /usr/sepp/scripts/mysqlFixDefaults.php schema.sql > schemaupdate.sql

Search bar configuration

The search bar will not work anymore out of the box after upgrading to Typo3 V11. There needs to be done some changes to get it work.
1. Define TypoScript setup propertys in main template:

// This part should be better in UZH Extension: uzh_cd_template/Configuration/TypoScript/lib/0050_language.typoscript
page {
    10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
    10 {
        file = typo3conf/ext/uzh_cd_template/Resources/Private/Templates/template.html
        dataProcessing {
            10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\SiteProcessor
        }
    }
}

# Default Language
temp.language = TEXT
temp.language.value = 
lib.searchPageSlug = TEXT
lib.searchPageSlug.value = search
[global]
lib.language < temp.language
// End part

// Customizable part
# English language
[siteLanguage("languageId") == 1]
temp.language.value = en/
[global]
lib.language < temp.language

// If search pageSlug is not 'search'. 'search' is set as default.
lib.searchPageSlug.value = newsearchpageslug
// End customizable part

2. The uzh fluid template which needs to be changed is located here usually:

typo3conf/ext/uzh_cd_template/Resources/Private/Templates/template.html

The result part from search DIV should look like this:

<div class="search">
   <form action="{site.base}{f:cObject(typoscriptObjectPath: 'lib.language')}{f:cObject(typoscriptObjectPath: 'lib.searchPageSlug')}" name="searchform" method="get">
        <input type="text" class="search" name="sword" size="20" placeholder="Search" />
        <input type="image" name="submit" src="typo3conf/ext/uzh_cd_template/Resources/Public/Images/search.png" alt="" class="searchbutton" />
        <input type="hidden" name="id" value="<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath='cd.header.search' />" />
    </form>                
</div>

In the future these template changes will be delivered with the uzh extension.
