Guide on how to set up this simple blog extension in TYPO3.

Install TYPO3 blog extension

To install the extension in TYPO3, enter the following command in the console where the root composer.json is located.

Next, log in to the TYPO3 backend, navigate to Administration Tools -> Maintenance -> Analyze Database, and install the database tables.

Then, create a page in your page tree to store the Blog List plugin and create a folder where the records (blogs, categories, etc.) will be stored. In your Blog List plugin, fill out the Flexform.

Now go to Pages -> General -> Sets (Site Sets) and add the Site Set for the Blog Extension.

Under Settings -> Edit Settings, fill in the fields related to the Blog Extension.

Add RSS feed

Create a page in the page tree where you add the Blog: RSS Feed plugin. After adding the RSS plugin, fill out the Flexform fields in the plugin. Then, you can integrate the feed into the head using the following TypoScript.

page.headerdata.150 = TEXT
page.headerdata.150.value = <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="My blog" href="https://example.com/rss-feed">
