Eight Extensions Making TYPO3 Developers Happy

Eight Extensions Making TYPO3 Developers Happy

TypoScript is the configuration language of TYPO3. It is (especially in the beginning) hard to understand and to get the big picture, how it works. In this post I will try to shed some light on it and will help to understand whats happening. What is TypoScript? TypoScript is not scripting language, even if the name suggests it. But it has some components, which apply functionality onto content objects.
