README

Versatile Crawler is basically an extension to crawl pages and content in an TYPO3 CMS installation. It is developed on the basis of TYPO3 CMS version 8. The extension has a clear and easily understandable structure and provides queue and crawler functions for pages and records.

Installation & Setup

Clone the extension from GitHub, manually or via composer, and activate the extension via the extension manager. Create a crawler configuration record on the page you like to start the indexing on, e.g. on the homepage. Go the scheduler module and create a queue task and a process task. Configure a cron job that triggers TYPO3 CMS' scheduler.
