Checklist: Create articles in TYPO3
How to create an article in TYPO3 and what to look out for?
Step 1
Upload images

  • Create image folder:
    Create a new folder in the appropriate place in the folder structure in which only article images are saved. Use a meaningful and comprehensible folder name for this.
  • Upload images in the correct format:
    Teaser images should be uploaded with a minimum size of 2100 x 1570 px, then all teaser types can be cropped to retina size using the cropping tool. The larger the teaser image, the more food for the cut-out in the cropping tool.

    If you want to overwrite the teaser images from the cropping tool, then you must upload the correct and exact sizes, please always in retina size.
    At the article level there is no cropping tool yet (only the Typo3 one with standard formats), please always upload the correct sizes here.

    All image sizes can be found below.
  • Image size and file format:
    The image size of 3000px should not be exceeded. Always save the images optimised for the web.
  • Note transparencies:
    If transparencies are required, the graphics must be saved in PNG format.
  • Observe the ONE CI:
    Colours, fonts etc. should correspond to the ONE CI, exceptions may be possible (series, special formats).
  • Copyright information within an article
    For editorial articles: Each image must be credited.
    For picture series or galleries: Collective credit is okay, but clear and visible ("All photos: Max Mustermann").

Step 2:
Create article base

  1. Create data record
    Create a new data record for the article.
  2. Hide access
    Under the "Access" tab, tick the "Hide" box so that the article is not initially visible online. This setting is active by default, but should be checked.

  3. General settings
    Enter the following information under the "General" tab:

    • Title/topic of the article (if possible based on the folder name for the images)
    • URL is generated automatically (no manual intervention necessary, but possible)
    • Author (optional)
    • Selectfocus topic
    • Uploadteaser image [>> Link to the teaser formats]
    • Use cropping tool: To ensure that all teaser formats are displayed correctly, the image cropping tool should be used. If this is not sufficient or special cropping is required, the required teaser formats can be uploaded and overwritten separately.
    • Setpublication date

    NOTE: the URL is automatically generated from the standard teaser headline. If this was not entered the first time it was saved, the CMS generates a cryptic URL.
    This can be replaced manually with the circle symbol.
    Only then should the article link be sent.
    After sending, please do not regenerate the url, otherwise the link will no longer work.

Teaser settings

  • Please pay attention to aspect ratio and image size.
  • Please specify the duration of the video so that readers know what they are getting into
  • Please specify whether it is a video or a podcast so that the correct icon is displayed for readers

Newsletter teaser

  • Optional: Overwrite the teaser for the newsletter if a different motif is desired.
  • If required, the header, headline and text of the standard teaser can be overwritten individually for the newsletter.
  • please do not regenerate newsletter teasers in the cropping tool or upload them again after the newsletter has been sent

Select categories, SBU and tags

So that the article appears in the categories or can be listed according to keywords:

  • Please select the appropriate category and SBU in the drop-down menu!
  • Please select relevant, already existing keywords/tags from the default!

Comment function

If required, the comment function can be switched off for each article under the "User" tab, e.g. for competitions, advertorials

Step 3:
Select modules

  • Modules with layout options can be added to the article in the "Modules" tab.
  • The article should always start with an image or video module
  • Different modules offer design options for the content:

    Please provide a rough description of the modules and their use here!
  • The modules with background colour have a selection option for the Rewe colours so that we remain in the REWE CI.
    However, individual colours are possible depending on your design requirements.

Step 4:
Save

- The "Save" and "Close" buttons are located at the top right.

Save the article regularly to avoid data loss.

Step 5:
Check English version

  • TYPO3 automatically creates an English version of the article.
  • You can switch to the English version and make changes at any time using the language drop-down menu.
  • Check content:
    • Check texts for correctness and comprehensibility
    • Replaceteasers with German texts with English teasers
    • Replacegraphics with German text with English graphics
    • When using videos in the article, the note "Some contents may appear in German language " is automatically displayed
    • If you want to insert a video with English subtitles or synchronised, you can change the module in the English article or the video url in the video module.
  • english teasers must be checked so that the backend does not automatically pull teaser graphics.

Step 6:
Cross links

If it is a series article or thematically related content, the "Cross-linking" module should be added.
