A weblog (mostly) about PHP and TYPO3 development

Introducing TYPO3 extension: matomoapi

For the weblog I wanted to add a "Popular posts" block to show the most visited posts of the last 30 days. I didn't find an existing extension to achieve this, so I made my own: matomoapi. It uses the Open Source statistics platform Matomo, which has an API to get the data I wanted.

Linking to records

In TYPO3 you can link to pages, files, folders, external URLs, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers by default. But what if you want to link to a different record, like news. You could use an external URL link, but with a few lines of page TS config and TypoScript you can add a tab to the link window to link directly to a record.
