TYPO3 Extension "content\_sync"
===============================

[](#typo3-extension-content_sync)

This extension syncs raw database tables and selected files of directories between two TYPO3 installations.

This can be used to sync between a "content master" system, where editors work, and a "production" system which does not have a TYPO3 backend available. Both systems are connected via SSH.

This extension is - by design - very simplistic, and for other use-cases we recommend using Workspaces for publishing processes or in2publish as a more sophisticated solution.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- MySQL is used as RDBMS and the mysqldump and mysql binaries must be available in the $PATH for PHP
- A SSH Connection to Remote Node by Key Authentication (can be configured via .ssh/config)
- helhum/typo3\_console on target and source node must be available

Extension Configuration
-----------------------

[](#extension-configuration)

- Configure Database Tables and Files to sync
- Configure your Source- and Target Node (TYPO3 Instances)

Backend Access
--------------

[](#backend-access)

In order to see and kickstart a content sync, a new toolbar item on top is shown. Access is granted to Admin Users and to non-administrators with UserTSconfig:

```
options.enableContentSync = 1

```

Available TYPO3 CLI Commands
----------------------------

[](#available-typo3-cli-commands)

```
content-sync:job:create

```

creates a new Job from Extension-Configuration

```
content-sync:runner

```

runs one waiting job.

```
content-sync:collect-garbage

```

checks for any outdated jobs that are still running or waiting due to an error and removes them from the queue.

Ensure to have your scheduler set up.
