Cross-media publishing with InDesign2TYPO3

The InDesign2TYPO3 add-on allows you transfer finished articles into the widely used content management system TYPO3 without any significant reworking. Your content goes online quickly, and you avoid additional expenses for image and text editing.

Do you spend a lot of time and effort preparing the content of your print publications for presentation online? Would you like to be able to place InDesign documents for your newspaper or magazine's digital archive directly into the content management system of your website?

Technical details

This add-on uses the InDesign Export interface to export the contents of your document as an XML file. Pre-defined paragraph and character styles from InDesign are used to assign the individual document elements (headline, lead text, issue number, etc.) to their corresponding contents in TYPO3.

Once your InDesign files are complete, all you need to do is store them on the TYPO3 server and import them into the content management system using this add-on. Your choice of a news dataset or new page (configurable) is then added for each article in the TYPO3 backend. Article headings and subheadings are added as new categories unless already present. Linked images are copied to the DAM media management system and assigned to the datasets. An index of all articles in the current issue is created automatically.

The TYPO3 CMS user is then free to determine which articles are freely available and which can be accessed by registered subscribers only.
