Installation and setup

  1. Open the extension manager and install the TYPO3 Adventcalendar extension in the usual way.

  2. If you would like to use the Pro version, install it aswell and then open the extension settings of the main extension. Go to the Pro tab and set up the following:

    • Competition-Report - Activate email report: This setting activates a report email which sends log data after the Competition CommandControllers have run.
    • Competition-Report - Subject for email report: Here you can set a subject line for the report email. This is useful if you have many advent calendars.
    • Compeition-Report - Address for email report: Here you can set the destination address for the report email.
    • BCC for all emails: This setting is for debugging purposes. Every time an email is sent a BCC email is sent to this email address, as long as this setting contains a valid email address.

    You can configure the update-check under the Extension tab:

    • Enable extension update service: Activates/deactivates the update-check/information row.
    • Display email address for support or extension request: Here you can set the email address that will be displayed on support and update requests.

You also need to set up the static templates:

Add the relevant static templates to your root template.
