Have some of you tried making a site from Dreamweaver to use Typo3 and if
you have can I see a link to the site, please? And is there something
special I should be aware of?

We do all our page templating with Dreamweaver. Is there something in
particular you are looking to see?

I don't know so much about Typo3 yet I have just got the book so there is
much to read about and test but because I always use Dreamweaver MX 2004 and
sometimes with Template I was curios if it could be used together with
Typo3. I just want to see how the sites looks when it has been used together
with Dreamweaver.

Yes and no. Once the page templates have been created we bring them
into Typo3 and map them with templavoila. After that Dreamweaver is for
the most part out of the picture, though we still use it for tweaking
the stylesheet.

One of the great things about typo3 is that it can be implemented with
pretty much any design, it doesn't really matter whether you code by
hand, use Dreamweaver, Golive, Frontpage (yuck!) or whatever. Have a
look at the showroom newslist, there are some great examples in there
.. or the references on typo3.com
(http://typo3.com/References.1249.0.html), pretty much any of those
could have been created with Dreamweaver.

Thanks very much to all that have answered me.

So you are saying that I can take a site which uses Dreamweaver Templates
http://www.dreamweavermx-templates.com/tutorials/tutnewtemplate.cfm and make
it to a Typo3 site? But what about the extensions used in Dreamweaver
<http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm#loc=en_us&view=sn120&viewName=Dreamweaver%20Exchange>
and especially from projectseven
http://www.projectseven.com/extensions/listing.htm?

I have bought this book
<http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1904811418/203-0359226-1978364?v=glance&n=266239>
and I thought that I could read about this in this book. What Chapter/Pages
should I read? Or should I read the Golive tutorial as Alex say?

Simon mentioning a Showroom newslist but I can't find it but have found the
References?

You create your design and HTML in DW, then use that
HTML/CSS/Javascript, etc., and put it into your T3 installation. Then,
you learn how T3 works with your HTML/CSS to display your site. The only
real difference with all the extensions and creating "templates" in DW
is that with T3 you only need to create your main HTML/CSS files, and
all pages and menus are created from that. So you don't need a
"template" in the normal DW sense, that handles menus and such, with
specified editable regions. Just create the design and HTML/CSS and a
lot of the automatic features you get in extensions are part of T3's
templating system.

For a good overview of how T3 interacts with your HTML template, start
with the GoLive tutorial, since it shows you a lot of how the two work
together to put content into your design. Using TemplaVoila hides a lot
of what's happening and can be confusing when you need to start
troubleshooting if you don't have the basic concepts down, so I'd
recommend against using that extension until you have a good grasp of
how to work with templating in TYPO3.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Tine,

A good place to start would probably be the GoLive tutorial. It gives
you a lot of the foundations of making a site in TYPO3 using an HTML
template. Then, regardless of whether you wish to create sites using the
traditional method or if you want to load the TemplaVoila extension and
use that, you'll have a good grasp of how T3 does what it does to make a
site show up on the page.

Have fun!
Alex

whihc book have you bought

if its the typo3 enterprise content management book, although it is helpful,
i found it really didnt go into too much detail in some areas (in fact,
there is definately scope for a book which teaches people the potential of
typo3 , how to run multiple sites, what the best setup is, documenting the
most commonly used extensions, ) I found alot of points which should have
been in the book, by working them out myself by pure luck!)

i reccommend the wiki, and these lists are excellent,

use templa voila (one of few extensions with half decent documentation) to
create your sites.

create the template in dream weaver, then you import the template into typo3
using templa voila and map your areas. it has a very very handy wizard to do
this, but it will take a little working out, but it is greatly superior to
the previous templating system

Typo3 (and any good cms) splits the design from the content, so it doesnt
matter what you edit your template in,

good luck, you will need it, documentation is scarce, and somewaht lacking,
but it is definately worth it, Typo3 is excellent

hi There,

I think you are getting crossed wires here.

What Typo3 requires, is ANY template of html (or css). Thats it! how you
create your template is completely up to you.

You can use these extensions, then copy the html into a file, then import it
into Typo3 (along with any required assets.....css files and image etc)

All content is then inserted from within Typo3 after you have mapped your
content areas using templa voila.

Jamie
