install the .t3x file via the normal extension manager
in the extension settings (in the ext. manager) you can define a path where the special elements get installed. you can leave it to the default setting or use a path which is accessible via the fileadmin: "fileadmin/specialelements/"
reload the BE interface and you will find the "specialelements" backend module
install one of the elements via the “install elements” mode found in the special element BE module or if you have a “.t3e” file you can upload it with the “browse” button.ATTENTION: the .t3e files can NOT be installed with the extension manager!!
select "install elements" in the SE BE-module
browse your local drive and select one of the .t3e files and click on "upload extension file"
after successfull installation, you have to activate the element
click on a page where you want to use the special element (this setting will be inherited to all subpages)
select "activate elements" in the SE BE-module
you'll find two lists:- a list of activated elements on the selected page (will be empty of course the first time)- a list of non-activated elements (which can be activated now)
check the "default" checkbox of the special element you want to activate
Now you should find the element in the "create new element" wizard when inserting a new content element on the page.
If the special element does not get rendered in the FE, please insert the following line in your root-TypoScript template:
page.includeLibs.th_specialelements = EXT:th_specialelements/pi1/specialelements_functions.php
ATTENTION:
this only works if your "page" element in TS is called "page" like this:
page = PAGE
page.typeNum = 0
page.bodyTag = <body>
page.stylesheet = {$stylesheet}page.20 = TEMPLATE
page.20 {...
