Wonders of Typo3

This blog moved to a new location, please visit us at http://ramble.m2m.at

A lot of people complain about Typo3. They say it is too heavy for a CMS. Perhaps they are right - it is not for script kiddies. It takes some time to get used to it. But it pays!

Today a customer complained, that one of his pages in Typo3 was missing completely. He was right, it was not there any more. What happened, was that one of his employees accidentally deleted the wrong page. No problem for Typo3.

Unfortunately there was no content versioning enabled, which made it a little bit more work:
- open the database
- find the page (write down the pid)
- change deleted from 1 to 0
- do the same for all content entries for that pid
- open the administrator of Typo3
- move the page to its correct location
- reposition the content inside the page
... done in 5 minutes
