As of today I am no longer managing or developing the famous TYPO3 TemplaVoila extension. I decided to quit the development and lead because my views on the development, purpose and perspective of this extension does not agree with other developers in the team. Being democratic I prefer to leave than to stay on the way of others.

It happened so that I was a sole TemplaVoila development for three years. I spent numerous hours of my own time fixing bugs and implementing new features. I never got a cent for it, it was always a pure enthusiasm....

TemplaVoila version 1.4.2 is approaching. I must tell that I did not work on this version. Entire work was done by Steffen Kamper and Tolleiv Nietsch (from AOE Media). There are bug fixes and lots of enhancements.

We had certain problems in the previous version. There were serious bugs and this release should solve the most annoying of them. I am going to take quality assurance role in TemplaVoila development and leave coding work to others. The reason for this is that I got everything I need in TemplaVoila. Other people...

I upgraded my server to a newer version of Linux in December. Today I suddenly noticed that I see "No image generated" yellow banner across all images in the TYPO3 backend.

Two extensions were updated to ensure compatibility with TYPO3 4.3: pagepath and dd_googlesitemap. Thanks to sponsoring of updates!

Enjoy!

P.S. Did you know that you can send me a donation too?

Do you have your own server? Does TYPO3 run slow? Would you like to try a simple step to improve the speed? Here it is.

The next version of the RealURl TYPO3 extension is almost ready. You can grab a pre–release copy of it. This version supports long cHash values that will appear and in TYPO3 4.3. Running on PHP 5.3 is fully supported and tested. There is also a lot of bug fixes and an improved redirect module.

I am working with TYPO3 since year 2003. I worked for several agencies and individuals during this time. I am one of the best TYPO3 experts. This is what people say about me, not what I say about myself (I never really wanted to become a TYPO3 expert, it just happened).

I learned a lot of things while working for many people using TYPO3. Among others, there is one most important learned thing: most people think they know the right solution and they only ask TYPO3 experts (like me) to implement that solution. Typically they say: "We want...
