--- title: "Upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4" manual: "Academic Partners" version: "main" permalink: "https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4@main" source: "Upgrade/From23To24.rst" rendered: "2026-10-26T19:20:19+00:00" --- # Upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4 {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4} Version 2.4 delivers the configuration of **academic_partners** per component and hides its content elements until a site enables them. It also registers the static template under this extension, where 2.3 registered it under **academic_programs**, gives the partnerships of a role a sort column of their own and keeps the map data of translated partner pages in step with the default language. Work through the sections in order. Skip a step that does not apply to the installation. ## Before you start {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-before-you-start} Version 2.4 runs on TYPO3 12.4 from 12.4.22 on and on TYPO3 13.4, with PHP 8.1 or later. That is the same as for 2.3, so the TYPO3 core does not have to change for this upgrade. **academic_partners** 2.4 needs these packages. Upgrade them first or in the same deployment, in this order: - [`fgtclb/environment-state-manager`](https://packagist.org/packages/fgtclb/environment-state-manager) 1.x, new in 2.4, which **academic_base** 2.4 requires. Composer installs it on its own. A classic installation installs **environment_state_manager** before it activates **academic_base** 2.4. - [`fgtclb/academic-base`](https://packagist.org/packages/fgtclb/academic-base) 2.4, the same release as this extension. - [`fgtclb/category-types`](https://packagist.org/packages/fgtclb/category-types) 2.4, the same release as this extension. ## Update the package {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-package} ```bash composer require -W \ 'fgtclb/academic-base':'~2.4.0' \ 'fgtclb/category-types':'~2.4.0' \ 'fgtclb/academic-partners':'~2.4.0' ``` A project that requires branch `2` as `2.x-dev` keeps an inline alias such as `2.x-dev as 2.4.x-dev` working, see [Important: The development branch installs as 2.4.x-dev](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-1790796663@main). On a classic installation, install **environment_state_manager** 1.x from the TER in **Admin Tools > Extensions** first, then update **academic_base**, **category_types** and **academic_partners** there, in this order. Run the commands of this page with `typo3/sysext/core/bin/typo3` instead of `vendor/bin/typo3`. ```bash vendor/bin/typo3 cache:flush ``` ## Update the database {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-database} Compare the database schema in **Admin Tools > Maintenance > Analyze Database Structure**, or on the command line: ```bash vendor/bin/typo3 extension:setup ``` The command creates and changes tables and columns and drops nothing. For this extension it adds one column and changes one: | Column | Change | | --- | --- | | `tx_academicpartners_domain_model_partnership.role_sorting` | Added. The position of a partnership in the list of its role, which the first wizard below fills. See [Important: A partner role sorts its partnerships on its own](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-partner-role-sorts-its-partnerships@main). | | `pages.link` | Changed from `text NOT NULL DEFAULT ''` to `text DEFAULT NULL`. No data is converted. On TYPO3 12 with MySQL this makes it possible to create pages again, see [Important: The link column of pages is nullable now](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-1785882500@main). | ## Run the upgrade wizards {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-wizards} Both wizards are new in 2.4. They need the columns of the database compare and do not depend on each other. Run them in this order, in **Admin Tools > Upgrade > Upgrade Wizard** or on the command line: 1. `academicPartners_seedPartnershipRoleSorting`, **Seed the partnership sort order of academic partner roles**. It fills `role_sorting` with the order the role forms show today, the current `sorting` of each partnership with its uid settling ties. It only appends what has no position yet, so a second run changes nothing an editor arranged. Until it has run, a role form lists its partnerships in arbitrary order. See [Important: A partner role sorts its partnerships on its own](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-partner-role-sorts-its-partnerships@main). ```bash vendor/bin/typo3 upgrade:run academicPartners_seedPartnershipRoleSorting ``` 1. `academicPartners_synchronizePartnerTranslations`, **Synchronize academic partner pages with their translations.** It copies the coordinates and the switch **Show on map** of every partner page onto its translations, once. A translation made before the page was geocoded carries an empty coordinate, and one made while the partner was hidden from the map keeps it off the map in its language. Translations whose fields an editor detached, deleted pages and workspace versions are left alone. See [Important: The map shows only partners with a location](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-map-shows-only-located-partners@main) and [Important: The partner map honours "Show on map"](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-partner-map-honours-show-on-map@main). ```bash vendor/bin/typo3 upgrade:run academicPartners_synchronizePartnerTranslations ``` Neither wizard has to run again later. Should one have to, mark it undone first. TYPO3 13 marks a wizard undone with `vendor/bin/typo3 upgrade:mark:undone `. TYPO3 12 has no such command: open **Admin Tools > Upgrade > Upgrade Wizard**, find the wizard under **Wizards marked as done** and choose **Mark undone**. ## Adapt the configuration {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-configuration} The configuration of this extension changed shape in 2.4: one component per content element, a separate component for the `styles.content.getContent` override, the page TSconfig as a selectable entry and the folder `Configuration/TsConfig/` spelled `Configuration/TSconfig/`. The complete list of paths and names is in [Breaking: Site sets and static templates have been restructured](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:breaking-site-sets-and-static-templates-restructured@main). ### Make the content elements selectable {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-content-elements} The page TSconfig every installation includes hides the four content elements **Partners List**, **Partners Map**, **Partnerships List** and **Partnerships Teaser** now. The page TSconfig of a component brings its element back. Enable them on every site that uses them, with one of the two mechanisms and never with both: - **TYPO3 13 with site sets:** the site configuration depends on `fgtclb/academic-partners`. The set keeps the name it had in 2.3 and includes every component now, so a site that depends on it already needs no change. A site may name the component sets instead. It then adds `fgtclb/academic-partners-content-load` as well, or defines `styles.content.getContent` itself: the page template of the page type **Partner** renders that object and fails without it. - **TYPO3 12, or TYPO3 13 without site sets:** in the page record of every site root, field **Include static Page TSconfig (from extensions)** on the tab **Resources**, add **Academic Partners: All components (academic_partners)**, or the entries of the components the site uses. The entry is new in 2.4, there is nothing to replace. Existing content elements keep rendering in the frontend either way. In the backend, an existing element on a page where its component is not enabled keeps its type when it is saved. **academic_base** 2.4 shows the stored type as the selected option, followed by **(not enabled on this page)**. The warning of the changelog entry, that saving such an element writes another `CType`, describes a state the 2.4 release of **academic_base** no longer has. ### Select the static template again {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-static-template} This step concerns sites that include the TypoScript through a `sys_template` record, which is every site on TYPO3 12. Version 2.3 registered the entry **Academic Partners Page Setup** under the extension key of **academic_programs**. A record that selected it stores `EXT:academic_programs/Configuration/TypoScript/` and includes the TypoScript of that extension instead of this one, or nothing at all where **academic_programs** is not installed. The update does not rewrite the stored value, and no wizard does: it cannot be told apart from a deliberate selection of the programs entry. See [Important: The static template and the backend layout are registered correctly](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-1786968600@main). 1. Open the `sys_template` record of every site root, field **Include TypoScript sets** on the tab **Advanced Options**. 1. Add **Academic Partners: All components (academic_partners)**. It carries the shared plugin settings, the rendering of the page type **Partner** and the `styles.content.getContent` override. 1. Take care of the stored value of 2.3. Where **academic_programs** is installed, the field shows it as **Academic Programs: Shared plugin settings and page rendering (academic_programs)**. Remove that entry unless the site uses **academic_programs**, where it is the entry of that extension and stays. Where **academic_programs** is not installed, the field does not show the stored value at all, and saving the record drops it. A site that selects component entries instead of **All components** adds **Academic Partners: Content load override (academic_partners)** as well, or defines `styles.content.getContent` itself. The page template of the page type renders that object and fails without it, and so does any template of the site package that renders it. With the entry selected, a partner page renders the page template of this extension and the partnerships of the page for the first time on a site without site sets. Look at a partner page before you deploy. ### Adjust imports of shipped files {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-imports} A site package that imports a file of this extension by path checks every `@import`. An import of a missing file is silent, so a wrong path shows up as missing configuration, not as an error. - `Configuration/TsConfig/` is `Configuration/TSconfig/` now, and the wizard file `Configuration/TsConfig/Wizards/NewContentElement.tsconfig` is `Configuration/TSconfig/Full/page.tsconfig`. - [`Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript`](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/FileStructure/Configuration/TypoScript/Index.html#file-extension-configuration-typoscriptsetup-typoscript) no longer imports the `styles.content.getContent` override. Import [`Configuration/TypoScript/ContentLoad/setup.typoscript`](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/FileStructure/Configuration/TypoScript/Index.html#file-extension-configuration-typoscriptsetup-typoscript) where the site needs it. The old file `Configuration/TypoScript/Content/ContentLoad.typoscript` is gone. - [`Configuration/Sets/AcademicPartners/constants.typoscript`](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/FileStructure/Configuration/Sets/Index.html#file-set-constants-typoscript) and `setup.typoscript` are gone. Import the files of `Configuration/TypoScript/` instead. ### Move label overrides {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-label-overrides} The templates read label overrides from the path the TYPO3 documentation names. An override under `plugin.tx_academic_partners._LOCAL_LANG` no longer has an effect. Move it to `plugin.tx_academicpartners._LOCAL_LANG`, or to `plugin.tx_academicpartners_._LOCAL_LANG` for one plugin. This includes the labels of the filter form. See [Important: Label overrides are read from the documented path](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-label-overrides-use-the-documented-path@main) and [Important: Label overrides of the filters are read from the plugin path](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-1790383005@main). ### Extend the backend user groups on TYPO3 12 {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-backend-user-groups} The partnership table declares its language column in TCA now, as an exclude field. On TYPO3 12, add `tx_academicpartners_domain_model_partnership:sys_language_uid` to the allowed excludefields of every backend user group whose members set the language of a partnership, tab **Access Lists** of the group record. See [Important: Translations of partnerships keep their parent](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-1791547201@main). ## Adapt templates and assets {#upgrade-from-2-3-to-2-4-templates} The stylesheet and the script of the map moved below `frontend/`, the four Leaflet files keep their paths: | Old path | New path | | --- | --- | | `EXT:academic_partners/Resources/Public/Css/map.css` | `EXT:academic_partners/Resources/Public/Css/frontend/map.css` | | `EXT:academic_partners/Resources/Public/JavaScript/map.js` | `EXT:academic_partners/Resources/Public/JavaScript/frontend/map.js` | A copy of `Templates/Partner/Map.html`, or a site package that loads the files itself, takes over the new paths. See [Breaking: The map assets are built and moved](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:breaking-map-assets-are-built@main). `Resources/Public/JavaScript/autocomplete.min.js` is removed. Nothing of the extension loaded it, a site that does ships it in its own site package. See [Breaking: Removed the unused autocomplete library](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:breaking-removed-unused-autocomplete-library@main). Version 2.4 changes these templates and partials. A copy of one of them in a site package keeps rendering the copy, so compare each copy with the shipped file and take over the changes. The paths below are relative to `Resources/Private/`: | File | What changed | Entry | | --- | --- | --- | | `Templates/Partner/Map.html` | Loads the moved map files, and only while there are partners to draw. Without them it renders a message instead of an empty map. | [Breaking: The map assets are built and moved](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:breaking-map-assets-are-built@main), [Important: The map shows only partners with a location](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-map-shows-only-located-partners@main) | | `Templates/Partner/PartnershipsList.html`, `Templates/Partner/PartnershipsTeaser.html` | A partnership is grouped by `{partnership.role.uid} == {role.uid}`, otherwise a translated page loses partnerships. The partnerships without a role are rendered after the role groups, from the new variable `{partnershipsWithoutRole}`. | [Important: Each partnership renders once per language](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-ace-430-academic-partners@main), [Important: Partnerships without a role are listed too](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-ace-917-academic-partners@main) | | `Pages/AcademicPartner.html` | The categories are read from `{partner.attributes.allCategoriesByType}`. A copy taken only to repair that can be dropped. | [Important: The partner page type renders its categories](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-partner-page-renders-categories@main) | | `Partials/Partner/DemandCategories.html` | Offers the category types `plugin.tx_academicpartners.filter.categoryTypes` names, in that order, and puts the ones after `filter.visibleCount` into a **More filters** section with labels of its own. | [Feature: Choose, order and label the partner filters](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:feature-1790383002@main), [Important: Label overrides of the filters are read from the plugin path](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-1790383005@main) | | `Pages/AcademicPartner.html`, `Partials/Partner/DemandCategories.html`, `Partials/Partner/DemandSorting.html`, `Partials/Partner/Item.html`, `Partials/Partner/ItemList.html`, `Partials/Partnerships/List/Item.html`, `Partials/Partnerships/Teaser/Item.html` | The translations pass the extension name `AcademicPartners` instead of `academic_partners`. A copy that keeps the old name does not see the label overrides of the previous section. | [Important: Label overrides are read from the documented path](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-partners:important-label-overrides-use-the-documented-path@main) | | `Partials/Partner/SortingAndFilters.html` | Renders a submit button inside `
