Install the visitor toolbar on TYPO3

By Published

How to add the visitor toolbar to TYPO3. The toolbar lets a visitor change how your pages look and read for themselves; it fixes nothing in your site, does not change whether it meets WCAG or the BFSG, and our scans never see it.

Before you start

  • Your site key. It is in the Reviseberg dashboard, under Settings › Visitor toolbar, on the Install tab. In the steps below it is written YOUR-SITE-KEY.
  • Switch the toolbar on for your site on the same screen. Until it is on, the tag loads and shows nothing.
  • What the platform needs: TYPO3 12 or 13.

Download

The package is reviseberg-toolbar-typo3-1.0.0.zip. It is not listed in any platform’s store yet: you install it from this download.

Download for TYPO3 (version 1.0.0)

Steps

  1. Download the extension above.
  2. In a Composer installation, unpack it into a local package folder, for example packages/reviseberg_toolbar, add that folder as a path repository and run composer require reviseberg/typo3-toolbar.
  3. Open the extension’s settings in the TYPO3 backend, paste your site key and switch the toolbar on.
  4. Flush the caches under Admin Tools › Maintenance.

Good to know

The extension is not in the TYPO3 Extension Repository yet.

Check that it works

  • Open a page of your site in a private window — not in the platform’s editor or preview, where most plugins leave the tag out on purpose.
  • View the page source, or search the developer tools’ Elements panel, for widget/v1.js. There should be exactly one tag, with your key.
  • The toolbar’s button appears once the toolbar is switched on in the dashboard. On the same screen, “Last seen on your site” says when the tag last loaded on one of your pages.
  • No button? The browser console has a line beginning “Reviseberg toolbar:” that says why — a key with the wrong shape, for example, or the tag on the page twice.
  • The toolbar answers only on the addresses allowed under Settings › Visitor toolbar; your site’s own address always is. Add a staging address there before you test on it.
