A module denotes a part of the TYPO3 backend, with which specific tasks can be carried out.

Attention: Connecting files

In the microsite system, files are not uploaded via AdmiralCloud.

The connection of files (images or PDFs) is done via the file list.

Similarities of all modules

Modules are comprised of two elements:

On the one hand, of the dataset, which can be found in the respective module under "Pool Contents" in the backend.

On the other hand, a module also needs a plug-in on the respective subpage. The plug-in "drags", so to say, the information from the pool contents.

Modules only function, therefore, in interaction with a data set and plug-in.

For this reason, it’s also not necessary to move the modules under 'Pool contents' to another location in the backend. It’s important that the modules remain where they are to guarantee well-functioning support.

As modules were configured for your website, it’s not possible to reproduce this yourself when you would like to. There could be the risk that after an update, the output in the frontend will not function without problems.

There are the following modules in the AHK Microsites TYPO3 System:

Events

The event module depicts the life circle of all your events - Teaser on the homepage, overview of a list, search functions via a filter, a detail page with different display options relating to your event – together with a review that offers options for an image gallery.
