[Pro] typo 3 on freeway

Hi there, does anybody know if – and if yes, how – it is possible to apply Typo 3 on Freeway 5 pro? I have a client who wishes a website with CMS-tool Typo 3. I have worked with Webyep, but the client wants typo 3, because his company uses ist, too. I appreciate information or help on this. Thanks Alex

I haven’t looked at Typo3 in quite a while, but if it hasn’t changed much, then the question is more like “can you use Freeway to make templates to use within typo3”, rather than “can you use typo3 in Freeway”.

Typo3 is a very abstracted content management system, with a clear separation between data and templates (content and presentation). You would probably need to lay out your pages in Freeway, then publish the HTML, then open that HTML in a programmer’s text editor and cut it apart into pieces that Typo could re-assemble those pieces into pages depending on the needs of its data model and the visitor’s request.

WebYep and other systems like it go at this problem from the other direction, and allow you to bring a limited amount of CMS data into an existing static site. Typo3 is a complete site-building package, and if you wanted to intermingle static (Freeway) content within a Typo3 site’s structure, you can expect some hard work getting the two to play nicely with each other.
