The integration via the Typo3 extension enables publishing of images and videos stored in Mediaflow directly within Typo3’s editing mode. A convenient way for web editors to always have access to files that are GDPR-compliant, have the correct alt texts, and videos that are accessibility-adapted.
Settings in Mediaflow
The integration with Typo3 can be used as soon as the extension (plugin) has been installed. However, for the files to be accessible and used optimally, you need to have prepared the settings for them in Mediaflow first.
Install the Typo3 Integration
Depending on how your Typo3 installation is set up, there are different ways to download the integration. We will go through the different options; choose the one that suits you.
Option A: Installation via Composer
This is probably the most common way to install the integration in Typo3.
- Open your terminal program in the project root folder. Install the extension:
composer require mediaflow
2. Log in as an administrator in Typo3.
3. Go to Extensions.
4. Search for Mediaflow or find it in the list.
5. Click Activate.
The extension is now added to the list of other extensions.
Option B: Installation via Extension Manager
If you are unable to use Composer via your terminal program, or your installation is not set up for such a workflow, you can use Typo3’s Extension Manager.
- Log in as an administrator in Typo3.
- Go to Extensions.
- In the dropdown list at the top of the page, select Get Extensions.
- Search for Mediaflow and install it. If there are multiple extensions with names containing "mediaflow", a safe way to find Mediaflow’s official extension is to choose the one named simply "mediaflow" in the Key column.
- Click the icon for Import and install.
- Activate the plugin if it does not activate automatically.
Configure the Integration/Plugin
You configure the plugin by entering information into three fields in Typo3 so that the plugin can retrieve information from your Mediaflow account.
You need to provide:
Client ID
Client Secret
Refresh token (previously called ServerKey)
Client ID and Client Secret are provided separately by us when you order the plugin. If you have not received these, contact Mediaflow support.
Refresh token (ServerKey) can be found in your Mediaflow account under:
Settings > Integrations > Typo3.
Where to enter the details in Typo3
- Log in as an administrator in Typo3.
- Go to Settings.
- Click on Extension Configuration.
- Find Mediaflow and paste your values for Client ID, Client Secret and Refresh token into the fields for these details.
- Click "Save mediaflow configuration".
The configuration only needs to be done once per installation. Mediaflow for Typo3 is now installed and configured.
