Workflows in TYPO3 Content Publisher

Content Publisher for TYPO3 - flexible and versatile

Daily requirements

The following requirements are desirable for the daily use of a content management system:

  • An editor makes several changes to the content of a page that are to be published at a specific time
  • One (or more) additional instances must be able to review editorial work before it is published
  • Ideally, the TYPO3 Live environment should not contain any Backend users, to make break-ins as difficult as possible

Publish content and files simply by clicking

Parts of these requirements can be realized with the help of workspaces in TYPO3 (working environments). However, many people shy away from this due to lack of compatibility with various extensions or performance.

We offer our customers a tool to easily map the requirements listed above: The Content Publisher for TYPO3 CMS can publish content and files with a simple click or after a complex defined workflow has been processed. The principle behind this is simple: A split on two separate servers offers a number of advantages.

Split between two servers

For example, the editors' working environment (stage server) can be located in a secure network, but the actual live environment (production server) can be publicly accessible.

Changes can be made without being immediately visible to every website visitor. Even major restructuring measures can be prepared, optimized, released and published at a specific time.

Comparison: Content Publisher vs. Workspaces

"In the Open Source environment and the usual alternatives Drupal, Craft, Umbraco, Joomla and also the newcomers such as Graf, Netlify, October or CMS Made Simple, TYPO3 with the Content Publisher Module alone is on a wide corridor. Even more so when the widespread PHP platform comes into question, TYPO3 remains the only Open Source solution with Enterprise capabilities," writes Daniel von dpool in his own blog post on publishing and workflows.

Highest security

The transfer of assets and content is exclusively via secure connections (SSH/SFTP). This eliminates the need for backend users on the live system.
Check

Future-proof

The Content Publisher will support all upcoming TYPO3 versions.
Deployment

Complex Workflows

A workflow module enables predefined workflows with any number of definable steps. The workflow process starts automatically when a data record is changed. (Enterprise Edition)

Large extension support

The Content Publisher supports almost all common TYPO3 extensions, as long as they have been created TYPO3-compliant (TCA).

Simple operation

Editors can see changes between instances at a glance and transfer content from Stage to Live at the click of a mouse.

Content Publisher:

The editors can now publish promptly themselves ...

"... our support as admins is no longer required. Due to the selective publishing, it is no longer necessary for the whole instance to be in a publishable state at once. In addition, the integration of external editors has become much less complicated because the changes go through a proper release process.“

When publishing multiple languages, the workspaces are usually brought to their knees!

"Since we started using the Content Publisher, that's gone. The system is very robust and also the performance is better than with workspaces. We always had problems with self-developed extensions that were not optimized for workspaces. Now we can simply use identical code on both systems, which is a great relief.
We wanted the security of the protected backend right from the start. The Content Publisher gave us exactly that."
