How to find hidden TYPO3 features?
From time to time, TYPO3 core devs and insiders leak secret knowledge in the mailinglists. One can find questions about "how to do this?" with answers surprisingly revealing undocumented features. Read on for some hints about how to find those features without asking.[more]
Nested domains in a single TYPO3 pagetree
A common scenario in maintaining websites is to have a handful of websites, each with little content and a single person who is in charge of the content. Why not throw everything into a single TYPO3 installation?[more]
Getting Things Done with Chandler
To improve my productivity, I'm trying to follow David Allen's recommendations about "Getting Things Done". It now seems that I finally have found a piece of software which fits my needs: Chandler, the so called note-to-self organizer.[more]
IE once again sucks
On some of our websites, we use conditional comments to control CSS hacks for Internet Explorer. If you create static copies of a website (or mirror), never forget that only IE will follow the @import links inside conditional controls - tools like httrack or wget certainly will not, because they know how to behave! This fact cost me almost an hour today.
Use Foxmarks with your own server
The synchronization of Firefox bookmarks on two or more computers is easy done with Foxmarks. Here are some suggestions on how use it without the use of the Foxmarks webservice.[more]
TYPO3 breaks on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron (and how to fix it)
After a dist-upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy on our webserver, TYPO3 was suddenly broken. The reason is a bug in PHP 5.2.4. There is a workaround for TYPO3, but unfortunately the patch is still pending in the core list.[more]
vi(m) rulez!
I don't like those bloatware IDEs like Eclipse etc. It's just too oversized for most of my projects. My favorite tool for writing code is vim (Vi iMproved). And it comes with so many neat features, like code completion, for example.[more]

About Steffen Müller
Since 2002, I am a software developer and architect for the TYPO3 content management system. In my work I consider user experience, performance, security and programming patterns. Beside TYPO3 I am interested in topics about LAMP, couchDB, mobile web, IT security, performance tuning, but also non technical stuff like scrum, open source communities, communication science and knowledge management.
Since the very beginning I am a strong enthusiast and an active member of the TYPO3 community. I have been a member of the official TYPO3 security team from 2004-2008. I contribute to the TYPO3 core and various community extensions. My main project at the moment is the TYPO3 core logging project. Since April, 2010 I am a supporting member of the TYPO3 Association.
About TYPO3
The Open Source CMS TYPO3 is my favourite tool for content management. It combines enterprise level features with a well networked, highly active and progressive open source community.
