The University operates a central University website uol.de based on TYPO3 CMS (Content Management System). The design of the pages is based on the university's corporate design.

The central web presence is basically the place for providing pages for institutions and persons of the University. Newly established departments/institutions receive access free of charge on request in order to be able to fill their pages with content independently.

The complete range of TYPO3 features is, of course, also available for our website https://uol.de. This is supplemented by TYPO3 extensions, some of which we develope ourselves. Among other things, the following features are available:

• Sophisticated permission system - editors only have access to the pages and files in their domain
• Login with the central university login
• Built-in multilingualism - convenient translation of pages, with automatic translation by DeepL if required
• Content is automatically displayed, using the university's corporate design
• Preconfigured styles for different formatting, e.g. tables, personal information with symbols, buttons, lists
• Display of images with different display formats (tiles, image gallery)
• Videos: YouTube, Vimeo, uploaded mp4 videos, streaming of BigBlueButton recordings for larger events
• Integration of content from Stud.IP - the content maintained in Stud.IP is automatically displayed in the TYPO3 website by using preconfigured content elements. Available are persons, courses, theses topics, consultation hours, courses of study and much more.
• Calendar - Use of the calendar functions for announcing events. Among other things, serial dates can also be entered.
• Publication lists: Integrate Bibtex content, the central library publications (BIS), publication lists from Stud.IP
• News - creation of news pages with pictures, teaser text, categorisation
• Forms - comfortable creation of forms (e.g. for contact requests, registrations) with export function
• Maps (OpenStreetMap)
• Change history, restore deleted content
• SEO - support for optimising content for search engines
• Matomo - access to the privacy-compliant Google Analytics alternative Matomo (formerly Piwik)
• Help for editing - e.g. overviews of broken links
