Typogento - Magento TYPO3

TypoGento 0.5.1 released

Varien just published Magento 1.3.0 this morning. After testing the TypoGento functionality we just adapted the router to the new version. Additionally we added a correct implementation of the ACT menu state of the TYPO3 HMENU for Magento categories. The current version can only be run with version 1.3.0 of Magento.

We tested it once in a development site and it seemed to work out perfectly. Still, we recommend to not upgrade on a live site directly - like Varien recommends to have an upgrade test before live upgrading Magento to 1.3.0. We’re trying to get some more feedback from upgraders within the next days. If you upgraded and everything works out great - please post us a message. If you should find errors, please drop us a line as well or post it to the bug tracker. Thanks a lot.

The extension can be found at http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/693/typogento. Have fun using it.

    Did the TYPO3 extension get updated at the same time? The current one in the repository is 0.5.0

    Best regards — Tony

  2. The TYPO3 extension was not changed at all and stays at 0.5.0 until the next major change. I hope that’s okay for you. :)

    Hi,

    It-is possible to have a step by step “How To Install & Integrate with Typo3″ documentation ?
    This projects sounds good, but the lack of documentation is a pain for beginner to try it.
    Thanks.

    By the way, thanks for all job done here !
    Congratulations.

    Looks great.

    I’ve just tried setting it up, and I think I’ve followed the instructions correctly, but I’m getting an error in the front end:

    Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to t3lib_div::array_merge_recursive_overrule() must be an array, null given, called in /home/ourvery/public_html/typo3conf/ext/fb_magento/pi1/class.tx_fbmagento_pi1.php on line 84 and defined in /home/ourvery/typo3_src-4.2.6/t3lib/class.t3lib_div.php on line 1833

    .. does that error give any indication of where I might have gone wrong?

    Thanks

    Simon

    Magento released a new Version (1.3.1) yesterday ;)

  6. Chris says:

    Having the same error like simon (see bugtracker 000018)
    Sry for doublepost.

  7. We have already noticed the bug and will release a minor release to fix it soon. Unfortunately we don’t have too much time right now to proactively continue the development of TypoGento. We hope to be able to enforce some more features in May. Stay tuned.

    I´ve installed typogento 0.5.1 and magento 1.3.0.
    anyone knows how to set up the ACT item of the HMENU?
    if i use the normal way (ACT.ATagParams = class=”active”) nothing happens?
    Thanks reiner

  9. Simon says:

    Having a problem with paypal checkout. I’m getting a blank page after pressing the “place order” button (general site framework, magento part is empty).

    Trying it directly through magento, it works fine: the url briefly changes to a paypal redirect, then flips over to paypal.

    Through TYPO3 though, the url just changes to:

    http://www…mystuffhere…html?tx_fbmagentoshoproute=paypal&tx_fbmagentoshopcontroller=standard&tx_fbmagentoshopaction=redirect&tx_fbmagentoshop_secure=1

    (i replaced mydomain and page with the …mystuffhere…)

    and there it stays.

    Anyone seen that, have a solution?

    Thanks.

    Simon

  10. Simon says:

    Have another issue, that I see is here on the demo site as well.

    If you add an item to the cart, then hit the “estimate shipping” button, it comes back and you select your shipping plan. Then if you hit “update shipping” you just get sent back to the product catalog.

    Thanks.

  11. Hi guys,

    thanks to all of you for your feedback. Right now we have a huge lack of time to do some bug fixing and documentation. It seems everybody needs Magento right now. We’re trying to get those problems done as soon as possible. If anybody of you has a fix or extension, please contact us so we can include it for everybody.

    Thanks again and hopefully there will be version 0.5.2, 0.6.0 or 1.0.0 soon. :)

    Michael

  12. Simon says:

    Understandable, we’re seeing the same here (large demand for ecom sites, magento an excellent solution).

    Where is the best place to post bugs, issues, findings, etc., so that we can work together as a community on them?

    Thanks.

    Simon

  13. Tonino says:

    Is there any special rule to follow with realurl and magento admin pages?
    All works if I disable realurl. As I enable it, all the magento administration pages become unreachable (typogento 0.5.1 and magento 1.3.1.1).
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Tonino

  14. Jörg says:

    Maybe your Rewrite Rules don´t support Directories?
    The Rules should prefer real Diretories and only if there no one exists a rewrite to index.php should be taken.

  15. Tonino says:

    I will try to exclude the magento directory from Typo3 realurl rewriting.

    I have additional questions, very specific to Typo3 and Magento integration. Is there a mailing list or forum for general support?

    Thanks,
    Tonino

    Hey Guys,

    nice work you have done.

    You wrote “Additionally we added a correct implementation of the ACT menu state of the TYPO3 HMENU for Magento categories” but there’s just one line with “ACT” in class.fb_magento_navigation.php.
    As you can see here: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/fb_magento/current/info/lib%252Fclass.tx_fbmagento_navigation.php/
    –> this line is commented ( //$menuArray['ITEM_STATE'] = ‘ACT’; )

    Did you forget to commit changes?? Do you have the right Code-Snippet??

    Thx
    Kevin

  18. simon says:

    Any known issues with 1.3.2.1? I’ve just done a fresh install for another site and am having api issues.

    Simon

  19. Sorry guys,

    up to now we did not have enough time to take care of a new version of TypoGento. Magento’s router classes were changed once more and we’re willing to take care of the bugs reported by all of those nice developers out there. Still, we need to get our commercial projects going first.

    @Tonino: Right now we do not have a mailing list or anything like that. We didn’t know that TypoGento was already that important to need its own mailing lists…

    @Kevin: I guess, the menu’s act-state wouldn’t work even if you took away the comment. We already fixed the issue in one of our internal versions. That’s going to be given to you within the next version.

    @simon: API issues? Honestly API issues mostly aren’t TypoGento problems. Most of the time those problems are within Magento and the web server’s configuration. Report the issue within the bug tracker please and don’t forget to report your server’s configuration.

  20. Tonino says:

    Magento 1.3.2.1 has serious problems with Typogento.
    Need to revert back to 1.3.0.
    Please, we need an official page with working versions, and a mailing list where to exchange experiences.
    Thanks,
    Tonino

  21. Okay, we’re checking things out. Let’s see what we can do within the next coming days and weeks. We know it’s time to get a new version and the other stuff on track but that’s not always easy besides the ordinary work in everyday’s business.

  22. Tonino says:

    Thanks for quick reply.
    I see problems I have are besides version, I’ll double check.

  23. Simon says:

    Can’t get it to work under 1.3.2.1 at all. In fact the only way I was able to get it to work was to duplicate another instance that is running 1.3.1. Will report to bugtracker.

    Thanks.

    Simon

  24. Tonino says:

    Solved one issue which caused site to crash when using right column:

    params.route = core

    has to repeated also inside this right column typoscript code.

    lib.right = COA
    lib.right {
    10 = TEXT
    10.value =
    20 = USER_INT
    20 {
    userFunc = tx_fbmagento_pi1->main
    block=right
    params.route = core
    nowrap=1
    }
    30 = TEXT
    30.value =
    }

  25. Tonino says:

    I need to add a second and third level of tmenu.
    I replicated the code in order to add two levels submenu, but I have always all categories displayed, despite of expAll = 0.

    2 < .1
    2.expAll = 0
    2.wrap = |
    3 < .1
    3.expAll = 1
    3.wrap = |

    What do I have to change in order to display only subcategories of the selected category?
    Is there another user-function to call?

    Thanks,

    Tonino

    Thanks so much for your work !

  27. dschwarz says:

    Hello Guys,

    does anybody know a working fix for the redirect bug? i use typogento 0.5.1 and i still get a blank page when finishing the checkout proccess having selected paypal. i’ve read that this should be fixed since version 0.5.0. is there something you have to configure in typoscript to make it work?

    Greetings,
    Daniel

  28. simon says:

    no fix that I know of yet. I’m trying to roll a site back to 1.3.0 to get it going. Almost there, just can’t get into magento connect to add they typogento module.

  29. simon says:

    Just realized there is a discussion forum on the magento site. Perhaps thats a better place for queries: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewchild/11804/

  30. Simon says:

    Got my 1.3.0 version running but paypal standard doesn’t work in it either. Looking at the bug tracker it looks as though its been an issue since Feb. Has anyone been able to get paypal standard checkout working/no what version we need to run to make it work?

    Thanks.

    Simon

  31. Simon says:

    Is it possible to direct the top.links to a particular typo3 page, so I can included it also on page that do not have the plugin?

    lib.toplinks = USER_INT
    lib.toplinks{
    userFunc = tx_fbmagento_pi1->main
    block=top.links
    nowrap=1
    #something like
    pid = 109
    }

  32. Andi says:

    Hi Simon

    could you describe step by step how you installed 1.3.0 so that it is working without any errors?
    Thanks

    Andi

  33. simon says:

    I got this to work but had to hack a couple of files.

  34. simon says:

    Hi Andi.

    I downloaded the code from the release archives at http://www.magentocommerce.com/download, uploaded through ftp, ssh’d in and extracted, then ran the install like normal. I didn’t let it check for updates at any time.

    I used the same db that I had been using on a more recent version, however a number of the tables in were damaged (constraint errors). I had to truncate all of the ones with issues to get the system to be able to take orders. It was only test data up to that point so we were lucky (though the products tables had no issues).

    Hello Everyone,
    I too want to know when the next TypoGento will be release to reflect the issues discussed and fit the new Mangeto 1.3.2.1 version. Thank you. I love TypoGento!!!!

  36. Jörg says:
