Every programmer should be able to work with the tool that is best for him or her. However, with TypoScript this is somewhat difficult. TypoScript code is entered into a text field, which means that the facilities of a traditional editor, such as a search and replace tool, are not available.
If you are not happy with using the TYPO3 text input field, you can work with a plain text editor such as UltraEdit, but you will need a Mozilla-based browser. There is a Mozex plug-in for this at http://mozex.mozdev.org, and you can use this plug-in to specify which editor will be used to create the TypoScript code.
After installation you can specify the desired editor in the Settings under mozex. If you are using UltraEdit in Windows you can enter the following in the Textareas field:
C:\Programme\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit-32\uedit32.exe %t
The complete path to the editor is entered followed by a space and the parameter %t
. Mozex will not run without this parameter!
The new functionality...
