Some code snippets which I need in my daily life
If you are working on an IMAP Server and using Enigmail to crypt and decrypt mail you may encounter a problem with decoded attachments. OpenPGP is not able to decrypt the whole message since the attachment is loaded on demand. If you want to change this just set this settings in you mail client installation:
user_pref("mail.server.default.mime_parts_on_demand", false);
If your Tyop3 installation is a bit slow the following tips my help to speed up you site.
key_buffer = 32M
table_cache = 128
query_cache_size = 64M
query_cache_type = 1

If you like to test the newest version of Firefox may some of you plugins will stop work. This is since they really don’t work with this version or the of the plugion author hasn’t tested it and released a new version. If you don’t like to wait to update the add-on you have some options:
If you like to sync your local Outlook installation with your Google Calendar or vice a via, you would be happy with this little new program. Google Calendar Sync
Have you ever wounder how to change the default sorting of the Thunderbird mail client? For me the standard default sorting it’s very annoying since I prefer the newest mail first. But out of box the my mail client shows the oldest one first.
So I went out and searched for a solution. And expect what: I found one! 🙂
Open your Options dialog and choose „Config Editor“ of the Advanced/General Page. The „about:config“ of Thunderbird will open. Into the filter field type „mailnews.default“ and you’ll see the current default of mails and news. Fine, but what are all these silly values means?
sort_order:
sort_type:
view_flags:
For me I’ve just changed the mailnews.default_sort_order to 2 and mailnews.default_view_flags to 0 and I was happy.
Is there any addon out there which does the job? Up to now I didn’t found any. May I go ahead a write one …. as soon as I’ll get some spare time. (A request of such an extension could speed this process…)
Do you want more information about this? Look here.
When writing your own Typo3 extension you may come to the day where you need to enter some free HTML content. This content may also include some links. No Problem so far. But if you save the stuff to the db Typo3 transforms the text. For example all a-Tags are written as <link XX>Test</link> and so on.
So when you like to render the text you need to revert the transformation. (At this point it doesn’t matter if you are using FlexForms or the traditional TCA configuration).
All you need to do is to call this method and everything goes fine:
[sourcecode lang=“php“]$outputText=$this->pi_RTEcssText($dbtext);[/sourcecode]
When you try to write your own front end (FE) extensions with Typo3 there are common pitfalls. First of all be sure you enabled your table to hold the information. (Can be done very easy via the kickstarter). Next be sure you don’t query do much information of your table. All you need are the row where „sys_language_uid=0″. Your translation is made via the getRecordOverlay ! This short code snippet may help you to resolve your problems:
[sourcecode lang=“php“]
function readDBData( $table, $where )
{
$back = array();
if ( $where!=““ )
$where.= “ AND „;
$where .= “ deleted=0 AND hidden = 0 AND sys_language_uid=0″;
$res = $GLOBALS[‚TYPO3_DB‘]->exec_SELECTquery( ‚*‘, $table, $where );
while ($row = $GLOBALS[‚TYPO3_DB‘]->sql_fetch_assoc($res))
{
if ($GLOBALS[‚TSFE‘]->sys_language_content)
{
$OLmode = ($this->sys_language_mode == ’strict‘?’hideNonTranslated‘:“);
$row = $GLOBALS[‚TSFE‘]->sys_page->getRecordOverlay( $table, $row, $GLOBALS[‚TSFE‘]->sys_language_content, $OLmode);
}
$back[] = $row;
}
return $back;
}
[/sourcecode]
PS: Keep in mind this tip, too: Web List: ‚Localize-to-feature‘
If you ever want to send you queued mails quickly you may try this command:
[sourcecode lang=“php“]
kill -ALRM `ps ax | grep qmail-send | grep -v grep | awk ‚{print $1}’`
[/sourcecode]
To check the queue you can use this command:
qmail-qstat
When using RealURL in multi language environment sending an real 404 is sometimes not so easy. Some I just want to give you some hints:
First of all enable the pageNotFound_handling of Typo3.
typo3conf/localconf.php
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["FE"]["pageNotFound_handling"] = 'http://www.my-domain.com/en/not-found.html';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["FE"]["pageNotFound_handling_statheader"] = 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found';
Now you need to check your RealURL config:
postVarSet_failureMode OR set it to postVarSet_failureMode='''noMatch'=>'bypass' for every single preVars section!That’s all 🙂 Now you get the your wonderful 404 file not found page every time when a wrong page is hit.
If you like to use the link wizard to link to an internal or external url you may want to change the start tab. You can to this very easy. Just open the tca.php of your extension. Find the field you want to change and replace "script" => "browse_links.php?mode=wizard", with "script" => "browse_links.php?mode=wizard&act=page", to start with the internal link selector.
