Issue 1: Can I create my own url for each page? Instead of Typo3 creating either a cryptic url or semi-SEF url, can I provide my own?


Yes by using RealURL's Speaking URL management. This allows you to remove or create virtual sub directories too.

There are few ways to acheive this with Typoscript however I have never tried them. The cleanest would be here.

Alternatively you could simple copy/paste the TS templates provided here and make a change to the directory page ID. This is the quick and dirty way however may not be as manageable for larger sites.


# Top horizontal dropdown menu
#######################################
subparts.TOPNAV = HMENU
subparts.TOPNAV.special = directory
subparts.TOPNAV.special.value = 5

# Vertical Navigation
#######################################
subparts.VERTNAV = HMENU
subparts.VERTNAV.1 = TMENU
subparts.VERTNAV.special = directory
subparts.VERTNAV.special.value = 5

Subject: Needing Insight
I have installed Typo3 twice now, and although I am sure by its robustness it can do what I want, I just haven't been able to make it work and got frustrated. Accordingly, I thought I would ask y'all out there for some insight, as overall I am very impressed with Typo3.

Issue 1: Can I create my own url for each page? Instead of Typo3 creating either a cryptic url or semi-SEF url, can I provide my own?

Issue 2: I don't want all menu items to appear on the page. On the homepage, I just want top level menus. On subpages, I only want the top-level menu that pertains to the particular category and its corresponding submenus. Nothing more.

Issue 3: How do I go about inserting a php script in the middle of my content?

I'm sure there are probably easy answers but they evaded me. In essence, I am creating an About.com for the county I live in. Currently I am using Drupal but am looking for a little more sophistication.

Can someone help become a Typo3 enthusiast

Thanks to anyone who can offer some insight or wisdom.
