cwenvbanner
The documentation is not yet fully written. Probably it never will. This text file gives you a short overview, actually this extension is very simple., (*1)
I want facts. Quick. (aka Impatient Programmers Abstract)
- Adds customizable banner to both Backend and Frontend with environment identifier (e.g. DEV)
- Prepends environment identifier to the Frontend page title
- Compatible with Typo3 6.x and 7.x
- I'm happy to get feedback or bugfixes! https://github.com/carstenwindler/cwenvbanner
About this extension
This extension was build for those who often work on multiple Typo3 projects at the same time, or who are working with Staging/Production servers and accidently made changes on the wrong system and wondered why the changes did not work as expected., (*2)
Whats new
Version 1.0.0 finally dropped Typo3 4.x support, added Typo3 7.x support and was refactored to support Typo3 Composer Mode., (*3)
Older versions
Note: A Typo3 4.7 compatible version can still be found here: https://github.com/carstenwindler/cwenvbanner/tree/typo3-4.x-compat, (*4)
With version 0.1.0, cwenvbanner offers you predefined banner styles (well, basically 3 different colours: Red, Yellow, Green) to setup the extension on different environments even quicker., (*5)
Super quick install guide
Important: You need to save the configuration once, otherwise cwenvbanner will do nothing (because it's a polite extension)., (*6)
- Install the extension via Extension Manager or Composer
- Upon installation via Extension Manager, it will show you the configuration screen
- If not, or if you use Composer, you have to open the Extension Manager and edit settings according to your needs (or just use the defaults)
- hit "Update" button in any case
- Reload Frontend and Backend
If you use 2 different browsers (one for backend, one for frontend) make sure that you don't use any login-dependend features (e.g. showFEBannerIfBEUserIsLoggedIn), as it won't work properly otherwise., (*7)
