I’m just in the decision process what CMS to choose, so I’m trying TYPO3. I decided to install yag extension (yet another gallery). First surprise was that I had to install dependencies manually. After successful installation, I selected “Gallery” in the left pane, and got this error in the right pane

No Settings for the YAG Gallery were found on the selected page.
Please select a page where the static template for YAG is included. Or
include the static template of YAG on this page.

Chinese for me. How can I “include static template”? I googled several tutorials for this (#1, #2, #3), none worked (version 4.7.2). Finally I found this video which helped me. But it hasn’t solved the problem yet! I got another error telling me, that I should somehow update the configuration (WTH?). Another googling and I finally managed to do it via Extension manager, Configuration tab, Update.

Why is such a simple thing like installing an extension so complicated? Why such complications for the user? If the package requires to install some template and update configuration, why it is not part of the installation process?

    The answer is clear, there are 5k+ of extensions in 20k+ versions, written for many different TYPO3 versions, trough long years, trough different programming patterns by thousands of developers.

    If there was no some ‘interface’ for connecting them, the TYPO3 would be just useless.

    If you expect the good results in few days I must disappoint you, TYPO3 learning curve is long I think you need to waste at least 3, 4 weeks to get more comfortable with it.

    BTW including statics from extension is the very first step for almost any good ext in TYPO3’s repository.
