[TYPO3-english] TYPO3 Plugin for OpenX - and others

Wed Feb 9 10:09:24 CET 2011

Hi Andreas,

OpenX can be easily included with typoscript (as many other things too,
which is harder in other cms).
Additionally there some extensions using OpenX (not tested yet):

http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/?tx_terfe_pi1[view]=search&no_cache=1&tx_terfe_pi1[sword]=openx

There some connectors, which have no equivalent in other CMS.:
 - e.g. EXT:piwikintegration

You may use the http://www.single-signon.com/ to connect fe-users to a
variety of applications. (Used it in intranets ;)

Additionally there connectors with special business logic which underlay
an NDA and can't be published easily.
Other are missing documentation and are not published :(

Regards
Kay

>> GoogleApps plugin for Mahara: Get the URL from Drupal, put it into the
>> Drupal blocktype and make the content visible in Mahara.
>>
>> That way, content that is more easily created or managed in Drupal can stay
>> there, but be pulled into Mahara comfortably.

>> So basically what we want to find out is whether there are others in the
