Cheers to Jweiland for TYPO3 Best Practice Workshop
By: Michael Cannon
Jochen Weiland and Riona Kuthe of JWeiland.net in Germany gave a very good presentation on some TYPO3 best practices last year in Berlin at the TYPO3 conference.
I found the related presentation workshop PDF again today and looked a bit deeper into than before. There's lots of good advice contained therein regarding hosting recommendations, modularizing TypoScript code and helping pick which templating method is right for you.
I strongly recommend reading the PDF, it's in English, which is available below.
Automatic tt_news META descriptions via Acqal's extension aqnewsmeta
By: Michael Cannon
Acqal is pleased to announce the version 1.0.0 release of aqnewsmeta. This extension updates the TYPO3 newsSubheader register with a truncated, HTML-free version of the news bodytext if no article teaser is available.This is helpful for SEO purposes where each news entry should have a META description, but doesn't.
The extension includes options to adjust the META description length, currently set at 150 characters, per SEO best practices.
