WEC Template Users Manual
What is the WEC Starter Package?
The WEC Starter Package (formerly the Common Configuration) is a default install of TYPO3 and commonly used extensions.
When creating a new TYPO3 site, the biggest initial challenge is determining which extensions to install and how to configure those extensions to work properly. The WEC Common Configuration seeks to lower this barrier to entry by providing a default configuration that works for most church websites out of the box. The full power and flexibility of TYPO3 is preserved since all configuration options can still be changed if the user wishes too.
In addition to a common set of extensions, the WEC Common Configuration provides the WEC Page Templates and a default page tree populated with basic content. The goal here is to give the novice user a clear starting point to edit data and create their site, rather than opening the TYPO3 backend with a blank slate. Once again, these default templates and page tree in no way limit the experienced user as each can be removed and replaced with custom content.
The WEC Starter Package was formerly known as the WEC Common Configuration, so some screenshots within this document may still show the Common Configuration name. In each case, the concepts being described still apply but current versions will display WEC Starter Package.
