en	User > Setup module

en	The Setup module allows the backend user to customize TYPO3 for his own login sessions. This includes the backend language and various other interface features.

en	<b>Notice [For Admins]:</b> These settings can all be overridden or have their default values changed by "User TSconfig". To read more about this concept, see the link below!

en	The Setup module is selected in the left menu. This is how the Setup module interface looks like - a list of options to configure.

en	Backend Language selection

en	Select the backend language you prefer. Most parts of TYPO3s backend (for regular users) are translated into other languages.

en	<b>Warning [technical]:</b> If TYPO3 is not configured to use a single character set (through $TYPO3_CONF_VARS[BE][forceCharset]) then all data entered in the backend is submitted in the character set of the selected backend language. This leads to inconsistent data storage if some users are using the backend in Russian and others in English which uses different character sets. The solution clearly is to set the configuration option mentioned above to a value like "utf-8". This must be done by the developers responsible for the whole system configuration.

en	TYPO3 is translated into around 40 languages. English is the default language and all labels must be available in English first and foremost. This screenshot shows translations for Hebrew, Arabic, Russian and Chinese.

en	Start module

en	Let you select the module that is called when you login in the Backend The default module is "About Modules".

en	Show help text when applicable

en	If set, some help texts will appear by default. Applies to the "Legend" text in the Web>Access module for instance.

en	Maximum title length

en	TYPO3 will often crop long titles of records etc. so only the first X characters are shown. Often the number of shown characters depends on this variable. For instance the length of page titles in the page tree is determined by this value.

en	EXT:setup/Resources/Public/Images/cshimages/setup6.png

en	In this case the Maximum Title length is set to 10 - and the result is that titles in the page tree - as well as other places in the backend - will be cropped after 10 characters, then suffixed by "...". The default value is "30".

en	Recursive Copy

en	When you copy a page, subpages can also be copied along if you set this option. The number you set here defines the number of levels under a page to include in a copy operation.

en	Enable Rich Text Editor

en	If set, the Rich Text Editor in TYPO3 will be enabled for you. Normally you wouldn't want to disable this option.

en	A Rich Text Editor (RTE) means that a text editing field has buttons for making selected text bold, italic etc. Whether a RTE is available also depends on factors like the browser you are using and which extensions are installed. Finally RTEs are applied to only a few record fields. The most well known example would be the Text field of a Content Element.

en	Enable File Uploads in editing forms

en	This option will enable an "Upload" box for each field in TYPO3 records where you can attach a file or image. Most likely you don't want to disable this since it is usually just a nice thing to have.

en	If you disable the Upload box there is still the TYPO3 Element Browser left for attaching files and images.

en	Maximum height of text areas

en	Define the maximum height of text areas in pixels.

en	Defines whether you want to list all the hidden files and folders (beginning with a .) in the filelist and element browser.

en	By default all hidden files are not displayed in filelists and element browsers and link pickers. This option enables to additionally show the hidden files.

en	Your real name

en	Enter your real name here.

en	Your email address

en	Make sure this is a valid email address for you. This is the contact address that the backend administrator will use if he needs to contact you. Also, the TYPO3 system might need to send you messages at various times and this will be the recipient address.

en	Notify by login

en	If you set this option you will receive an email from TYPO3 each time you (or "someone") logs in using your username. You might like to receive such a "warning" as a security measure so you will know if someone else picks up your password and uses your account.

en	Avatar

en	You can personalize your TYPO3 user profile by adding an avatar. It will be shown at multiple places in the backend, e.g. in the topbar, next to your username.

en	Change password

en	Enter a new password for your backend account

en	The passwords are encrypted to an MD5 hash when you leave the field so no plain text password is sent over the wire.

en	Change password, confirm

en	Confirm the new password by entering it again, exactly like above. If the two new passwords do not match, the password will not be changed.

en	Multi-factor authentication

en	Manage your multi-factor authentication settings. This can be used to secure your account by providing another factor next to your password.

en	Format of window title in backend

en	Define the order within the TYPO3 backend window title, which is usually displayed in the browser tab. Either the site name followed by the current module name or vice versa.

en	Reset all Values to default

en	If you select this option all settings in this module will be reset to the default settings of the system.

en	This does not apply to user name, email and password settings of course.

en	Simulate backend user

en	This option allows "admin"-users to change settings for another backend user in the system.

en	Admin control for re-enabling Install Tool access

en	By clicking this button, a file typo3conf/ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL is created (or removed if it already exists). It unlocks the access to the Install Tool (password is still needed!) and will be removed automatically after 1 hour.
