Installation

1. Install extension by uploading a zip file of all files from this repository (no additional intermediate folder)
2. Create a new folder (grey icon) in the pagetree (Page) as top element and remember its id
3. Go to your start page under Template in the Info/Modify mode and Edit the whole template record
4. Switch to Includes tab and import the static template of the extension uma_publist
5. Switch to General tab and in the Constants editor add the following lines:

plugin.tx_umapublist_pi1 {
        settings {
                # cat=plugin.tx_news/file; type=string; label=Path to CSS file
                cssFile = EXT:uma_publist/Resources/Public/CSS/publist.css
        }

        persistence {
                 # cat=plugin.tx_blogexample//a; type=int+; label=Default storage PID
                storagePid = 5724        }

}

6. Replace the number in the storagePid with the id of the folder you created in step 2.
7. Possibly you have to clear the cache, log out and in again or something else to trigger the changes.
8. Go in the Admin Tools to the uma_publist plugin and Sync all from Remote

Afterwards, you can include a new element of type Plugin where you specify the plugin type to this extension and use it in your TYPO3 web pages.

Restriction

The extension is build for the EPrints system of Mannheim University Library, but it should be possible to modify it for other instances of EPrints.
