t3 version 4.4alpha backend without css and js

just solved another mystery that was dazzling my mind on a small project regarding TYPO3 version 4.4 alpha2 where the frontend worked like expected but the project code (that was updated from version 4.2.6) showed an ugly distorted backend.

all styles and javascript functions were gone!

i cleared any temporary data collection, checked rewrites, paths, everything was ok. i reloaded the sources :-) but it did not change anything. but when i started to delete all those extension corpses in typo3conf/ext/ i got one idea. extension pmktextarea integrated okay in backend in former t3 installations… and as i saw, it still did and somehow seemed to overwrite essential js for the backend. deleted the folder, cleared the TEMP* files in typo3conf/ and reloaded the backend. worked. phewww…

simply kick deleted pages

Get rid of all the pages that have been created, then were deleted and now are of no use anymore but for bloating the database, with a brave strike of sql.

DELETE FROM 'pages' WHERE deleted=1;

You should visit the DB check module after doing so to update the reference index since that trick is quick, but a bit dirty. Update the refindex and you´re fine.

There is a fancy way to manage all the “dead bodies” of data in your TYPO3 tables with the extension kj_recycler. Well somehow the extension disappeared from the repository, but they´re boiling a new one on forge, I think.

It´s generally not the worst idea to look trough your TYPO3 systems every now and then to get rid of the old data that won´t be ever needed again to keep the tables nice and slim. In addition to that, try this on tt_content :-)

the turtle on snotr

when teenage turtles go wild… doin´ it hard, but just not correct hehe

Currently the video embedder plugin does not show any snotr videos. To fix that, adjust the url in the extension itself: replace “http://videos.snotr.com/” by “http://snotr.com” and everything will be fine. Overall this extension is good to implement videos on your blog with ease.

And now watch the turtle :-)
