Technology Tools for Ministry

How-Tos

The How-tos are designed to help you learn how to install, configure, and use TYPO3 and WEC additions to TYPO3. You will find that many of the How-Tos include a tutorial Flash movie that walks you through the process with a series of screenshots. To view the movies, you must have Flash installed and you may need to allow popups if you have them blocked.

Note for TYPO3 4.2 Users: Due to many recent user interface changes in TYPO3 version 4.2, many of the previous WEC How-To screen shots will not match the new version 4.2 screens. However, we are in the process of updating the How-Tos, and the basic functionality and steps in the How-Tos remain the same. You can review the TYPO3 user interface changes via the TYPO3 4.2.x User Interface Differences How-To.
