During 2025, AU IT will be upgrading TYPO3 from the current version 10 to version 12. This will have an impact on you, if your job tasks require you to create and edit content in TYPO3. On this page you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions related to the TYPO3 upgrade asked by web editors.
The upgrade process lasts from a Monday in week 1 until the forthcoming Tuesday in week 2. This means that we expect a go live of TYPO3 version 12 on a Tuesday in the following week. The local web coordinators will be in close contact with AU IT during the week. An e-mail will be sent to all editors, once the upgrade is successfully completed.
As an editor, you will experience an extra workload, if you need to edit your website in the week of the upgrade. These edits must be made again in version 12.
Furthermore, you might be involved in testing the website once version 12 runs in a test environment. If this is the case, you will be asked by your local web coordinator.
If you have any Powermail forms that save data in TYPO3, you must be attentive to the fact that data will not be stored during the upgrade process.
Therefore you must find these Powermail forms in version 10, hide them, and paste a text that explains to the end-user, that Powermail forms are out of function during the following seven days.
Proposal for disclaimer text DK+UK:
Formular midlertidigt deaktiveret
Aarhus Universitet er i gang med en større opgradering af det CMS, der styrer hjemmesiden. I den forbindelse har vi været nødt til at deaktivere den formular, der normalt er placeret her, da de data, der bliver indtastet, ikke vil nå frem til modtageren.
Formularen vil være tilgængelig igen (redaktør indsætter slutdato for opgraderingen). Hvis du ikke kan vente så længe på at få adgang til formularen, er du velkommen til at sende en mail til typo3@au.dk med et link til den side, hvor formularen mangler. Så vil vi gøre, hvad vi kan for at sætte dig i forbindelse med dem, der er ansvarlige for den pågældende formular.
Form temporarily disabled
Aarhus University is in the process of a major CMS-upgrade. Because of this we have had to deactivate the form that is normally placed here. The reason is that the data that is send using the form will not reach the recipient. The form will be available again (editor insert the end date for the upgrade). If you cannot wait this long to get access to the form, you are welcome to send an email to typo3@au.dk with a link to the page where the form is missing. Then we will do what we can to put you in contact with those who are responsible for the form in question.
Are you wondering when you can expect an upgrade of your website? You are able to keep up with the plan for the upgrade to TYPO3 version 12. The page will be updated continuously, concurrently with the upgrade of the different installations and websites.
