TER
The TYPO3 Extension Repository (TER) is the central platform for publishing, discovering, and managing TYPO3 extensions. It provides a trusted place where developers share their work and integrators or agencies find ready-to-use solutions.
Use Cases for the TER
The TER is typically used for extension management, such as:
- Publishing custom extensions to make them available for the community
- Searching and downloading extensions directly from the TYPO3 backend
- Managing updates and versioning for installed extensions
- Finding official and community-driven solutions for common requirements
How the TER Works
- Developers register and publish their extensions to the TER with version information.
- TYPO3 connects to the TER via the Extension Manager or Composer.
- Administrators install and update extensions directly from the repository.
Advantages
- Central platform for all TYPO3 extensions
- Direct integration with the TYPO3 backend and Composer
- Transparent versioning and update history
- Community-driven quality assurance
Typical Use Case
An agency requires a SEO extension. Using the Extension Manager, they search the TER, install the desired extension directly, and manage future updates seamlessly through the repository.
