Bash script to install TYPO3 6.2 LTS (dev) and FluidTYPO3 extensions (dev)

install_typo3_62_ft3.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# phase one: core install

# Pro tip: edit the script and use this repository instead to try out the
# codename "Awesome Ocelot" project - which should be even faster than the
# bare 6.2 core: https://github.com/NamelessCoder/TYPO3.CMS.git
# Live demo of "Awesome Ocelot" is at http://staging.namelesscoder.net

Hi Ulrik,

When using Awesome Ocelot you'll need to include in your root TypoScript, the new TS template for "Extbase TypoScript". This was moved to a static include file from the always-included-and-uncontrollable ext_typoscript_setup.txt approach (since not all sites would need all this confguration). Since you're running this in CLI mode there is one additional requirement/pitfall: the TypoScript you add, must be added to your root TS (will be ignored if added on a sub page extended template), the page the root TypoScript is inserted on must be marked "use as root page" under the Behaviour tab - and finally if you have multiple root TS templates, the "Extbase TypoScript" must be added in all of them. This would not be an issue on a standard 6.2 - but a standard 6.2 will also load a lot of redundant settings which you neither can remove nor avoid loading.

It may interest you to know that due to recent work on 6.2 it is now almost as fast as Awesome Ocelot if you use fluidcontent_core and in LocalConfiguration.php set FE.activateContentAdapter = 0. Doing this will avoid a lot of the legacy code loading that goes on, and the final result is pretty close performance-wise. Ocelot is, all things being equal, still faster - but only marginally so, which means it makes a lot of sense if you decide to switch to a standard 6.2 core ;)

Hope this helps and/or explains a few things.

Hi Claus,

I did some searching and found the same - but thanks for clarifying. I now remember to include Extbase and Fluid static templates in my root template before I continue the install script :-)

About the activateContentAdapter setting: I read about it in the 6.2b7 Changelog and wondered what it meant. it's great that performance has been a major focus for the new LTS.

Great work on the new fluidtypo3.org BTW.

Hi Ulrik,

I now remember to include Extbase and Fluid static templates in my root template before I continue the install script :-)

Yep - that one is definitely a "gotcha". You should be able to continue the first step without the Fluid static TS - but of course you'll need it shortly after anyways.

Thanks, I'm very proud of the new site - now all it needs is a very detailed search feature :)
