Import the WEC Default Template Setup (IF NOT USING WEC)

If you are not using Web-Empowered Church TYPO3, then you will need to download the Default Setup files to use the WEC Templates.

For Version: Typo3 4.1 - this tutorial assumes you are not using the WEC Typo3 starter package.

  2. Go to Getting Started in the left-hand menu.
  3. Select Templates from the Getting Started sub-menu.
  4. Scroll down on the templates page and select the WEC Template Repository link.
  5. Click the defaultsetup.t3d link.
  6. Save to your computer.
  7. Next, log in as full administrator (not basicadmin) to your website.
  8. Select List from the TYPO3 menu.
  9. Click on the Storage Folder link.
  10. If you see the TemplaVoila Data Structure records (DS), then the Default Setup is already present. If not, continue.

  19. If no other warnings or messages appear, you can click the Import button.
  20. Scroll down in the Storage Folder listing to view the imported records.
  21. Find the Default Template record and Cut it using the Cut (scissors) icon.
  22. Click on the link to your top-level page (still in List View).
  23. At the top-right of the page, click the Paste icon (clipboard with green arrow).
  24. The Default Template record is now moved to your top-level page. This record contains the code that will allow you to use any of the WEC Template Designs.
